January 2018 Favorites and Giveaway

Good morning! The past couple years I have had so much fun looking back over the past year and sharing a recap of my favorites from each month - and it's time of year again! It's so fun to see how my style has changed or sometimes stayed the same throughout the year and to be reminded of techniques I haven't tried in a while either. It is also nice to have a little time to catch my breath and spend time with family, and spend a bit less time in the craft room - or at least spend time working ahead for a busy new year! :)

In January 2018, I had 43 posts (not counting last years favorites)! That's a LOT of blog posts!

I have posted links to the original post under each photo in case you missed it or would like more details! I am also going to box up some surprise goodie boxes filled with some gently used (and a few new) crafty goodies and pick a winner or two from any comments left on these 12 monthly recap posts (not each individual link from these posts!) - so if you're interested, make sure and leave a comment! I'm so grateful for each of you that has been part of this journey for me!

  2. What a wonderful variety! I am so fond of cards with many layers but my card goals for 2019 are to create more one-layered cards and work on my ink blending and coloring. Thank you for all of your inspiration!

  22. Good grief, girl! You nearly had more in the first month than I posted all year. But, then it was a rough year for me. I've been meaning to get over here since I saw you were doing your year in review as I love seeing a bunch of your fab inspiration all at once like you always do at the end of the year... can't believe you've got 6 of these up already. My world moves really s-l-o-w. Ha! I remember the mewniverse card! I especially love the aurora and the Here for you cards!!
