My 2012 Favorites January- June

At the end of Dec. of 2011 my friend Rita over at Rita's Creation made a post about her favorite cards that she had made that year. I loved the idea and followed suit. Tonight I was checking Blogger and lo and behold, who is posting about her favorite cards again but Miss Rita and I went ohhhh yeahhh, lets do that again! So tonight I'll post Jan-June, the cards I made that really made me happy.

January:

Yep, it's got a moose on it AND it's a Christmas card, my two favorite things. I just love the paper I used and the texture. I am definitely going to make a similar card to this in 2013 for my Christmas card stash!

February:

This card was created using a color challenge from The Paper Players and a sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches and I just loved the color combo. This was a great sketch to let the DSP and simple sentiment take center stage.

March:

Ohhhh this was a tough one for me to choose, as there were a couple cards for March that I was really pleased with. I finally decided to go with this one. I love the colors, how the quilted technique came out, etc. My SIL ended up buying this card and sending it to her mom shortly after they lost their grandma/mom, as butterflies were loved by her. Made me feel good that in a small way I could help bring some comfort to them during a time of loss.

April:

This was another tough choice for me, it was another month of cards I was really happy with, but I decided to choose this one. I like the colors and papers I used and I like how CAS it is.

 

 

May:

 

Another CAS choice for the month of May. I love the black and yellow together and the simple sketch lets the image take center stage.

 

 

 

June:

 

I'm going with a Christmas card for June. I love the colors, the layout...just everything about how this card come together.
