Now on to my review...I kind of mixed it up with a little of this and a little of that, beginning with my scrapbook layouts. My three favorite layouts of the year include one of my nephew, one niece only and one of the kids together.
My favorite card of the year, if I have to chose one is this Tim Holtz Funky Foliage card. I truly enjoy paper piecing of die cuts. I find it so rewarding.
My favorite use of scraps in 2023 goes to this Card. Nothing on this card was an entire piece but the base. The alcohol ink panel was left over as where all the random strips I cut into banners.
This Kindred Stamps Galactic Hunter card pairs my favorite techniques, paper piecing with my alcohol coloring, I also threw in embossing!
If you have stuck with me thus far, I'd like to offer a small reward. Please be aware, I will only be able to ship to the US. I have a Carta Bella clear stamps set I purchased at Tuesday Morning (RIP) and never used. I'd like to pass it on to a blog hopper who comments on my post below prior to January 4. I will announce a winner soon after so sign up for notifications from my blog!
I would like to thank Ellie for organizing this fun hop! Thanks to you my readers as well, here's to 2024! Next up is Debbie ! Don't forget to link up your own favorite projects HERE.
