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!

Friend Card Using CTMH Pemberley Paper, Cricut Artbooking and DS4J Congo Drums, Sitting Pretty

New Releases for DS4J 


Hi Blogland!  I have had 3 days migraine free; so I am very excited.  That may sound strange to some of you who don't have migraines; but it is a very big deal for me.  I think having a craft room full of plastic smells, new papers, cardstock and new stamp sets; have all been causing me to have headaches and brain fog.  

I moved all of the items that have an odor into another room; which can only be temporary.  I can't leave them there; because it is my step-sons room.  I tried airing them outside; but they picked up barbecue smells.  My husband tried cleaning the plastic with fresh lemons; but that was only a temporary fix.  Now; I am running two diffusers with a pure oil in that room; hoping to change the plastic smells.  It seems to be helping.  I have to do a group at a time of the stamp sets; so this is going to take me a while.  I also have a diffuser going in my craft room while I am in the room. 

It is time for Digi Stamps 4 Joy New Release of Digi Stamps.  DS4J has new releases every Sunday on the DS4J blog; so be sure to check them out.  I have used two of the new release stamps and merged them into one Digi scene.  I thought they looked good together.  I am using "Conga Drums" and "Sitting Pretty".   

I am entering this card in Path Of Positivity Challenge - Happiness.  What could be more happy than making music.  It is a way to celebrate who we are and makes others feel good to hear it.

Happy New Year! My Favorite Card Creations for 2013.


Hello Friends.  Happy New Year 2014 to you and your families.  2014 is the year of the horse (Chinese culture); so I thought I would use this picture I found on the Internet.  It also reminded me of card making/scrapbooking. LOL!  I hope everyone is having a fabulous New Year.  Some of you have already celebrated New Year's and others aren't quite there yet.   We still have approx. 5 more hours till midnight.

Here is hoping all of us will have a fabulous and prosperous New Year; including good health, joy, peace, contentment, adventure, fun, happiness, love, trust and see many dreams come true.

I thought I would share my favorite card creations this year.  I had more favorites than I thought; so I narrowed it down to my top 17.  LOL. They are in order from the newest to the oldest; not in order of favorites.  I would love to hear which one is your favorite.  Thanks again for a fabulous 2013. Click on the name to see the post for additional information.  
























































Thanks for my wonderful followers and customers too.  I look forward to 2014.  I appreciate you stopping by and hope you will check my blog regularly for new creations.  I haven't been too creative the past week; but hopefully I will feel more like it after the New Year begins. 

 Remember - Keep On Creating!!
It's Good For Your Health!!
