A lot of crafting "firsts" happened for me this year! I won my first card challenge in February over at Freshly Made Sketches, got to be a Guest Designer over at Color My Heart after winning a colour challenge in May, participated on my first Design Team over at Heart2Heart, and won my first "prize" for card making over at Verve! I have tried out new techniques, played around more with my Cricut cartridges and dies, and tried out new products from different companies. I love playing around in my craft room and am very proud of myself for making time to do so all throughout the year. A special thanks to my Auntie Karen for the inspiration and encouragement to start a blog and play along in card challenges!
I have seen this done on many blogs over the years and am excited to finally have a full year's worth of projects on my blog to choose from! Here's a look back at this year:
 |
| January This card was for my husband, Chris', birthday this year! |
 |
| February I made this cozy card at a lovely scrapbooking crop I went to in February. |
 |
| March I don't normally play with this kind of sketch, but this card really came together! |
 |
| April I LOVED creating these little projects all out of one sheet of patterned paper! |
 |
| May Probably one of my most-used and loved stamp sets of the year! |
 |
| June This card was created for my first ever Guest Designer post, which was on Colour My Heart! |
 |
| July This card was created for my sister-in-law after her love of mason jars at her wedding! |
 |
| August Another wedding card that was one of my favourites this year! I love this sentiment, as I'm sure you can tell :) |
 |
| September This card was made for my cousin's wedding and was my first attempt this year at resist embossing. |
 |
| October I was excited to try out another new sponging technique for the background on this card. |
 |
| November I just love these little jingle bells! This card was chosen as a Colour Me...Captivating! |
 |
| December I just love these new coffee and tea stamps & dies from Verve! Plus this card won me a Verve gift certificate - woo! |
Cheers to another crafty year and all the best in 2015 :)
Lucky me! I got to receive the November card as a Christmas card!! An awesome group of cards, Allie - very proud Aunt :o)
