#3 Heart to Heart
I love this little card because it was made using a sentiment from JustRite and left over pieces on my craft desk. Oh! And I had just gotten my new Zig Clean Color Markers and suddenly became addicted! Click HERE for all of the details.

#8 Lovely
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Donna Salazar featuring my Cortney and her BFF. How could it not be one of my favorites? These two have the most special bond....and truly make my heart grow a bit bigger whenever they are together. See the original post HERE.

#9 Father's Day Card
I am not one to make many masculine cards. But I actually really liked how this one turned out. I had created my own plaid background using double sided tape from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. And glitter! Lots and lots of glitter on a man's card! EEK! ;) Click HERE for more details!

My Top Ten of 2014 Blog Hop and Giveaway!

Edited on 1/6/15
*****Giveaway Now Closed*******

I am so excited you decided to visit me today! I am taking a walk down memory lane and reviewing my ten most favorite projects from this year. (Which by the way was very difficult narrowing down!) I am participating with many other talented bloggers who are doing the same thing....and that's why it has turned into a blog hop! ;)Be sure to make it to the end of the post where I will be hosting a fun giveaway!

So here it goes! (click on the picture to see the original post!)
1. I created this doughnut shaped card for Splitcoast Stampers, when I was part of the Dirty Dozen design team.

2. I actually had TWO cards for the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Spellbinder's blog hop. But this one was my favorite. :)

3. I told you I loved the water coloring trend! Beautiful rose stamp by Crafty Secrets and my Inktense pencils.

4. And yes, every now and again, I actually create a scrapbook page. ;) I took inspiration from Christina Aguilera for the title. It seemed to fit perfectly for this page about my daughter.

5. I was so excited with how this card turned out! It uses foam adhesive squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L covered with glitter and glossy accents to create the flag.

6. A BBQ invite.....hot dog style!

7. Can you tell that I LOVE shaped cards? This card uses a Christmas set from JustRite and my Silhouette!

8. And yes ANOTHER shaped card! It uses background stamp from JustRite, my Silhouette, and Tim holtz Distress markers.

9. I had created this altered muffin tin for a contest over at Favecrafts. I won first place with it!

10. This was a little cupcake box that I had made with my Silhouette and stamps once again from JustRite. :)

And now to my giveaway!
