2012 Favorites - Reflecting on a year of scrapping :)

Hello there!!
Many of my scrappy friends are posting their Top 10 projects, and I just had to join in! It was really fun looking back through a whole year of pages, and choosing my favorites. One thing I noticed while choosing, is I picked the ones I did based on the way the layout made me feel...if they photo or the journalling were really special, or I really was proud of a technique or design, etc. So, some of my favorites, are not necessarily my "best" pages!
Here we go...in no particular order!!!

This one...well I am not even sure why I chose it..I think I just really really love that color combo..and the clusters are pretty :)

I chose the next one, simply for the photos..as our babies grow we truly cherish the memory of their once tiny selves :)

 I love the bright, fun colors in this one..and that I loaded it up with journaling!

Once again..I love these colors. I remember being so excited about the way this turned out and really proud of it, lol! Looking at it now it is nothing too special, but I love the feeling it gives me in reminding me of the excitement I felt waiting for Paisley to arrive. I also really really loved that Kaisercraft collection!

I love the patchwork style blocks on this one, I created when I was first learning to sew!

This one I love the gorgeous photo of Lilah on the beach..and I love the tissue paper background.

One of my very favorite pages ever..I just love all the fun little details, all the pieces of chipboard, the neat color scheme, and fun design!

I chose this one because I love the boldness, and the messy/artsiness.

This one I adore the sweet color scheme..and Paisley's sweet face :)

This one was just so fun to create...I love every bit :)

I so enjoyed getting all out grungy with this one!

Another one full of bold colors and I love the fun textures..and the long journalling.

A more recent project...I just love the quote and the colors!

 I love the stamping, and all the scraps of paper and fabric and little bits of fun texture. A page I truly enjoyed making!

And now it is time to thank all of you, my friends, for a year's worth of encouragement, love, and friendship!! Thank you so much to all of you who stop by and leave such lovely words..you have no idea how many times my day has been brightened a bit by a sweet comment :) :) :) Here's to 2013 and another year of creative fun!!

Happy New Year!!!!

Erin Blegen said...

These are awesome...now I'm conflicted about whether I should do a fave from each month or do it like you've done it...will have to think on it.

Your favorite is also my favorite of yours- that page is seriously amazing. :)

When I want/need inspiration I know where to go! I'll have to come back to this post of your favorites to study them all in detail. So much to learn for even those of us who do a much simpler scrappy style. You're an artist, Kelly.
