My favourite 5 from 2015

Time for Debby's annual look back at what I've made during 2015 for her Favourite 5 post ... I've been pinning all my cards to a board in Pinterest as I made them so it was a nice easy task this year!
Some of my crafty high points of 2015 were that I joined the Eat Cake Graphics design team, discovered Wink of Stella, got to grips with my watercolour pencils and splurged on some new dies with stitched edges :)
I've added in links to the original posts in case you want to see what stamps I've used.

And following Debbie's lead for non-card projects, here are some of my favourite pages for an ongoing calendar project throughout the year.

My favourite 5 Christmas cards 2015

Ahhh, I love this time of night on Christmas Eve when you can finally relax.  Everything has either been bought, wrapped, chopped or cleaned, and if it's not it's too late now ;)  Time to get the Bailie's out me thinks!

Anyway, I'm delighted to see that Debby is running her Favourite Five Christmas Cards challenge again this year, so here's mine .... (I've added in links to the original posts in case anyone wants links or more info on the stamps I've used)

I think this is my most favourite card of the year, they just look so comfy and relaxed!

My Favourite 5 Christmas Cards of 2014

The lovely Debby is running her annual look back at your favourite Christmas makes of the year, so here's mine ...
(I've added in links to the original cards in case you wanted more details on stamps used etc.)

This was the card I gave Greg for Christmas ...


















This was a special request for a horse riding teacher ...

This was one of my favourite images from High Hopes Christmas release ...

And this was my fanciest tag of the season using the same stamp (I only made one 'nice' tag, the rest were all quickies!)

This card uses some of my new favourite goodies from the year ... stencils!

And finally, this card uses one of my all time favourite snowmen ...

Favourite Five of 2013

Well can you believe it's New Year's Eve already!  2013 was a bit of a mixed bag, with both highs and lows, and I can't say I'm sorry to see the back of it!  Here's to 2014 :)
Me and Greggy are just having a nice quiet evening for a change, just us, some wee drinkies and the Hobbit  .... aren't I lucky ;)  (We did The Hobbit in school, put me off this type of book for life!)

Anyway, Debby is running her annual Favourite 5 look back again this year, so here's mine!

I discovered The Alley Way Stamps this year, and loved this cute halloween set

My Favourite 5 Christmas Creations

It's that time of year again for Debby's annual Favourite 5 Christmas cards linkup!
(I think most of the Christmas cards I made this year featured the new release stamps from High Hopes!)

This image - Dogs Trio Block from High Hopes - was perfect for a card for my doggy-lovin friend!

The only stamp on this one is the sentiment (Stampin' Up), and meant this layout was perfect for a quick mass production for all my family cards - made as a last minute rush as usual ;)

Another fun stamp from High Hopes ... Downhill Snowy
