Catered Crop Top 12 Challenge

 

Hello All,

I ran across a challenge today at Catered Crop - the challenge is to pick your top 12 creations for 2012.  

I had wanted to do this at the beginning of the year, several of the blogs I follow did something like this at the end of the December or on January 1st.  Some chose cards they made themselves, other blogs chose cards made by other cardmakers in the past year - both fabulous ideas.  I felt like I missed my opportunity though - until I ran across this challenge.  I guess it's not too late.

Anyway, the challenge is to choose your top 12 cards from 2012 so here goes...

 January 2012 - Mischelle Smith Designs "Cheer Up"

 Mixed coloring method - colored with Copics, 

blue chalk background, sponged ink distressing

February 2012 - Mischelle Smith Designs "Must Be Love"

 My sweet husband's 2012 Valentine

 

March 2012 - Little Miss Muffet "Agent Cupcake Descending"

 My debut card for Little Miss Muffet, still love the twine rope.

 April 2012 - TAC "New Creation"

 Lots of stitching and layering

May 2012 - TAC "America I Love"

Love the mix of dry embossing on this one, then inked over it.

June 2012 - TAC "Liberty and Ancient Map"

I had these stamps for over 8 years 

and finally used the background in 2012! 

 Homebound Card Ministry 

A great technique I saw on a blog - 

a printed picture on canvas textured cardstock.  

My roses were beautiful in 2012.

 July 2012 - Raisin Boat "Lawn King"

Fun with a grass die cut

 August 2012 - Nina B "Stitched Flowers"

One of my favorite techniques - Paper Piecing

 September 2012 - Mabelle RO "Sweet as Pie"

Clean and Simple

 

 October 2012 - Mabelle RO "Blessed Harvest"

This card just fell together, 

practically by itself, when I saw the sketch.    

November 2012 - Die-Namics Sunflower

These dies are so cool!

December 2012 - Little Miss Muffet "Gavin in Winter"

 Great sketch with skewed elements, 

which pushed me away of my norm (straight lines).

I tried to pick my favorite card from each month - it was really hard to narrow it down.  In the end, I chose creations that had a neat technique, I tried something new or there was something clever about them.   I ended up with 13 - oops.

I would love to see your top cards from 2012.  You have until February 2nd to get a blog post or a picture gallery together.  See the details HERE - there's loads of inspiration for 2013 all in one place! 

Thanks for stopping by...

Hope you are inspired!

Blessings,

Deb

TAC - Baby Card and Thank You

Today, I have a baby shower card and matching thank you cards. This baby shower was actually a card shower - just cards no gifts.  Love card showers although I really love going shopping for a new baby too. :D

Some friends are adopting a little girl and will be traveling later this month to China to get her and bring her home. This is my card for the card shower.  I used TAC Wee Ones, which was a super cute set.  I colored the images with Copic markers then cut them out.   

The images are suspended from white cross stitch floss to create a mobile of baby things.  I saw this mobile idea on Karen's Blog and it uses Retro Sketch #33.  Inside there is a Target gift card which completes the card and theme.

I also made 12 super simple Thank You cards as an added gift.  I used the same patterned cardstock I used for my card.  The cardstock is from Cloud9 Designs, called 'Dee's Cottage'.  The Thank You sentiment is from TAC I heart You, available at RRD. The hearts are cut with a Lil' Inkers Designs die.  Love the stitching on the hearts. 

Supplies --
Stamps: TAC Wee Ones and I Heart You
Patterned Paper: Cloud9 Designs 'Dee's Cottage'
Cardstock: PTI White, PTI Sweet Blush, Bazzill Watermelon
Ink: Memento Black
Dies: Die-namics Dainty Lace border, Framing Flourishes and Lil' Inkers Design Hearts
White Floss
PTI White button
Copic Colors: Y32, Y35, Y38, YR04, YG23, YG25, R30, R32, R35, R37, B60, B63
