Top 12 of 2012

Okay, I'm late, but I'm so inspired by everyone's "Top 12 of 2012" that I wanted to do the same!  The problem is that I didn't really blog for the first half of the year or even craft that much because my supplies were mostly in a storage unit as we anxiously waited to move into our house!!  But I went through all my posts and picked out the projects I liked the most, and it turns out 12 were not hard to find.  I think my projects have changed soooo much since my beginning!  Here we go.

#1  Definitely this mini album, which I did not even design.  It is the third mini album I've ever started (I won't say finished because two of them aren't...) and my sister designed it.  I love how it turned out (so far) and it inspired me to do another mini album, which I was sort of intimidated by before.  It was 16 hours of pure fun with some awesome women.  Can we do it again next year?  I will post the rest of the pictures when it's done!

#2 Tag with Tim Holtz goodness.  It's sort of not my style to put all of these colors together, but I made this tag after coming back from not crafting for a while.  I remember it being sooo fun after all that time off.

#3  Layout of my grandma...  I love this one because of how perfectly this paper just went with her picture and how it turned out to be sort of a tribute to her.

#4  Clean and simple Season's Greetings.  So easy, so simple, but I loved how it turned out.

 #5 Mini Album #4.  I still have a ways to go on this one.  I'm not sure I can say it's a favorite of 2012 since it's not even finished, but the idea was born and mostly sketched out in 2012, so I guess I can.  More pics again when I finish.

#6  Together Layout.  This is a layout of all of my nieces and nephew.  I made this page before I knew my brother was getting divorced, so now circumstances have changed a lot with how much these cousins will ever get to play together.  I'm glad I made it when I did.

#7 Road Trip.  Seriously, almost any layout I do with my nieces becomes my favorite because I just love pictures of them!

#8 Sweet Layout.  Again, a layout of one of my nieces.  I love how the snowflakes turned out even though I struggled with this one for a while!

#9 Beautiful Layout.  This is a picture of my mom right in her favorite place: the garden.

#10 Baby card.  This card is now hanging in one of my best friend's baby's room, and she really is such a sweet little one.

#11 Love Layout.  This was another layout I made after quite the crafting lull early last year.

#12  Happy Birthday card.  It's just happy!

Thanks for following my blog and supporting my hobby all year especially you, Jess!  Your comments are what keep me posting!  :)
