I have to admit it was hard to pick my top 13 cards for the last year but the process really allows for some critical thinking. So without further ado, here they are in no particular order:
 |
| Use of sticker, stamps and computer sentiment to creat a fun vibe. |
 |
| My fave color combo of the year: turquoise and red. The placement of fussycut image on black patterned paper created some pop. |
 |
| Use the the ribbon to underline the sentiment. |
 |
| Use of a different shape for the sentiment. |
 |
| Great image to color. |
 |
| Retro image mixed with Copics. |
 |
| The paper really set off the retro image. |
 |
| Lots of fussy cutting great papers. |
 |
| My fave color combo and great use for the hexi punch. |
 |
| The mix of Copics and rub-ons for a fun guy card. |
 |
| Great layers and paper mix. |
 |
| Great use of a puny sentiment. |
 |
| Uses multiple punches. |
This is such a great collection of cards from the year, and I especially like all the masculine cards! BTW, what did one basketball say to the other? Inquiring minds want to know :)
ReplyDeleteWow...it is so fun to see your collection of cards. The pun is adorable and the mechanic with the car is fantastic. Thanks for sharing your great cards ...this is a great way to get a second look at outstanding cards!
ReplyDeleteGreat group of cards, love the masculine themes and colors. Really love the golf "hey" one, especially the broken golf club! So like my dad! I bet some hero will have a fond memory of that too! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Linda! I love the 'thank you mom' card. The paper and the stitching and the retro image... it's just all fabulous!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is your golf card - great idea. I see you used several Birdie Brown images, which I love as well. Great job and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLove your collection of cards and the caption explaining the reason for choosing each card. Great use of the hexagon punch... going to have to remember to use that idea. All the best in 2014!

ReplyDeleteYour retro image car card with the mechanic is genius! Super collection of cards. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the process of looking back and choosing cards is hard but also helpful. This is a great group of cards Linda, and I particularly like the Retro 'Mom' design and the way you managed to combine the Birdie Brown Working Guy with a totally different digital image is fabulous. I'm not sure that would have ever occurred to me. Thanks for sharing your 'best of' today. Happy New Year!
