Happy New Year! My Favorite Card Creations for 2014

Hello Friends.  Happy New Year!  I sure hope everyone has a fabulous New Year.  I know there is a lot of illness already this winter; so I am hoping it will clear up very soon for anyone who is having the challenge of their family being sick over the holidays. 

It has been a very rough year for my health and my mother's health; but we are still very blessed compared to a lot of other people.  My husband is healthy.  I am very grateful for my life and for everyone who is a part of it!  

The New Year always brings me a sense of Gratitude.  I think it is a good time to look back at everything you have to be thankful for; rather than to look at all that is wrong in your life.  It is a time to start a healthier lifestyle, a diet, a new hobby, set new goals, or New Year Resolutions.  Whatever you choose to do; just remember to be grateful for all that you currently have.

I had a very difficult time choosing the cards that were my favorites.  Each of my cards were created from a place of love; and with a desire to make someone smile.  I have added the links for you to view the digi that I used; plus the link to my blog; so you can review the supplies I used; in case you want to create something similar.  The names are above the pictures.  These are listed in order of the latest to the oldest.  I noticed I had more Easel cards this year.  Last year; I had more side step cards.It looks like my Top 20.  LOL!

Thank You Cards Using CTMH Confetti Wishes and Cricut Artfully Sent Cartridge

Hello Blogland.  Merry Christmas!  Happy Holidays!  I hope all of you enjoy the time with your family; whatever you are celebrating.  It is a wonderful, magical, time of the year.  

I created these cards one day when I was playing with my new Cricut Artfully Sent Cartridge.  I love this cartridge!  It is a card lovers dream!  I created these for my customers earlier this month.  I need to start on my Thank you cards for next month; but haven't had the time.  

My husband is off work until January 5th; so I am trying to spend more time with him.  My husband's son, Ben and his son's mother will be coming tomorrow and we are going out to eat lunch and then have our Christmas gift exchange after lunch. His son will stay a couple days with us.

Thank You Cards Using CTMH Quatrefoil Embossing Folder and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hello friends.  I appreciate all of you who take time to read my blog.  I am very happy to be part of this wonderful Blogland.  I have made many friends; met a lot of people online and a few in person; along my journey of creativity.  My blog followers and all the friends I have made are very important to me.  Thank you for the honor of knowing so many wonderful people.

I created these Thank you cards for my customers months ago; but haven't had the time to post them.  It just seems like everyday life gets in the way.  LOL!  I would rather be creating more cards than posting them.  But; I realize that I get my creative ideas from reading and looking at all of your creations.  This encourages me to share my creations in Blogland; where there is no judgment on what we create.  I feel only love and loving compliments from all of you.  Thanks for being part of my world.

I didn't create the inside for these cards; as I write a handwritten note to my customers and leave these blank so that they can pass them on to someone else.  I love that philosophy of passing something on to someone else.  If I am not using something; even a gift from someone; then it would be better to give it to someone else; than to keep it laying on a shelf somewhere in my home.
