2015 has arrived!
Do you make New Year’s Resolutions? I must admit, I don’t make any ‘formal’ resolutions as I rarely even remember what they were come March!
I am going to try and look after myself a little bit more, drink a bit more water, exercise a little but no ridiculous resolutions that I know I wont keep up with.
I’m also going to try and keep up with my blog a bit more, as I have been a little Missing in Action over the Christmas break. It has been a lovely family time but I must admit, I will be glad to take the decorations down and get a sense of normality back to the house. How about you?
Are you ready to embrace 2015 or are you still wistful for 2014? I guess sometimes it’s hard to move forward without looking back so here are a few of my favourite creations from the past year, thanks to Liz Bailey my surrogate downline – for the idea. Some have appeared on my blog before and others haven’t as I only started this blog half way through the year. Many of the products used will be retired as our new annual catalogue came out in July 2014, but the stamps could be substituted with current product.
You can read more about the card in this post here.
I loved the delicate colours used in this one, in fact I was delighted with the All is Calm suite came out for Christmas this year, as it reminded me of the colours used in this card. You can read more about it here.
This was a card made using the Babywipe Technique in one of my Technique classes, I was very pleased with how it turned out. I just love the fresh bright colour combination. Read about it here.
This is another of my favourite cards made before my blog was born. The stamps are all retired though the punches, colours and accessories are still current. I was inspired by a non-SU card I found on the internet, though do not know the original creator.
I loved this one, from the colour combination to the sheer fact of getting messy making it!! It was fun and the possibilities are endless depending on the colours you use. You can read about this one here.
I also loved this Punch Art card I made for my little girl’s second birthday. This is Peppa Pig – a cartoon character very popular in our house!
Though I obviously didn’t like the circumstances surrounding the make of this card, I was pleased with how it turned out. This one didn’t feature on my blog, but uses Kinda Eclectic with Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow – I also coloured in the button with the darkest Old Olive Blendabilities marker.
One of my favourite Christmas makes this year was this little lantern. I was particularly pleased with it as 3D items are not my strong point and it did take a little bit of head scratching to get the measurements to work. It was part of a collection of items we made during my Christmas Crafternoon. You can read more details about it and see the other projects here.
I could include a few more but don’t want the post to be too picture heavy.
