Hi... I hope you are all ok after the New Year celebrations.... I'm going to try and get back into a little bit of routine now although no Neighbours until 14th January!! I will really miss watching it while having my tea!
Anyway, thought I would post some of my Favourite Cards from 2012 ... one thing that struck me while choosing them is how many of my favourites are in the first half of the year... I keep getting ill since August and I can really notice the change in my creations. I honestly wasn't struggling making them back in April and May.... I was turning out lots of new designs with loads of detail and embellies...
I am still struggling with my health... I am enjoying my crafting as much... but it is taking SO much longer to do everything and I find I am choosing the easy options.... so using lots of digis and not so many die cuts or embellies on a lot of my cards ... I really hope my health improves this next year and I can get back to form .... but in the meantime? enough moaning! ... I have to concentrate on what I have got and what I can do! Glass Half Full and all that .........
I tried to choose just 10 Favourites ... but ended up with 13! So thought... as it is now 2013 then maybe I will go with the number 13!! LOL
 |
| Teddy Bea's Easter I love this because I just had so much fun making it... I just piled on anything to do with Easter... and Bea is SO cute with her furry tummy!! |
 |
| A Little Bit of Country This is another one that was so much fun to make. Love the adorable stamp and fab embellies and I'm really proud of that fence as I cut it out by hand!!! |
 | ||
| Let's Dance I just love the bright and cheery colours on this one... such a wonderful image... and I really enjoyed going overboard with those pearls!!
|
 |
| Shabby Chic/Vintage I'm a great fan of Shabby Chic/Vintage but it doesn't come naturally to me... so I was really pleased with this one as it all seemed to come together just perfectly! |
 |
| Cool Britannia This was So much fun to make... loved Googling Britains Top Famous People and putting them on the bus. The papers are gorgeous and SO perfect for the Jubilee year! |
 |
| Keep it Real This is a card that I made for my daughter and so made with lots of love .... it's another card that just all seemed to fit together nicely. |
 |
| Willow in the Summer Breeze Love this card - Willow is one of my favourite WOJ images and she looks so free and relaxed here... the sky background came out well and I used to Pepita Borders a bit different from the norm... |
 |
| Fishing Fun I made this for my dad's birthday and just love the colours. The image is so sweet and reminded me of childhood days pond dipping! |
 |
| New Baby Love the papers on this one. Not much colouring on the image but think the paper-piecing works really well as it all matches perfectly. |
 |
| Alice in the Morning I really enjoyed colouring this image and I Love those gorgeous papers... ! |
 |
| On Top of The World Love the layout and colours on this one. I sometimes struggle coming up with new layouts but enjoyed making this one and I think the flower matches the floral paper perfectly. |
 |
| Alice Inspired and last but not least ... this was one of my completely mad ideas!! but I love the whole 'tea' theme... even included a real tea bag! |
Hope you enjoyed the trip down Memory Lane...
Love and hugs

Happy New Year Sue and I really do hope that it is a much healthier one for you.
Your card selection is wonderful, I love them all and really enjoyed looking through them all.
Take care
Hugs Sue
You're such a talented lady and you show a vast range of colors and styles. Because they're so different and all so beautiful, it's so hard to pick a favorite. But to mention two of your cards, I would point out the Steampunk one and the "Keep it Real" card, because they represent a style I haven't been successful at myself, but would very much like to be able to make some time in the future:)
Happy New Year Sue - hope 2013 is a fabulous year for you and your family and hope it is a healthier one especially :o)
Love all your choices - it must have been a tough decision as your cards are always so gorgeous.
The hand cut fence is awesome!!
Hope you are okay :o)
Take care

Sorry, pressed too soon! I was saying I have this beautiful card in my keepsake drawer after receiving it for my birthday! I hope you have a healthier 2013 honey. Pami x
aw sweets, yeah I can see the difference but the main point is, that you still love crafting and that is what shines through all your creations! And they are all made with much love and that's the only thing that counts!
your choice is wonderful, they are all unique and I spotted the Jack-the-Ripper bus, it made me laugh!
Hope 2013 brings you strength and health!
Mahoosive hugs, Alessandra
A gorgeous selection of cards Sue, they're all fab! Hope you have a much healthier year hun xx Hugs, Lisa x
Some fabulous cards there Sue, you should be really proud of all of them. Like Chrissy, the bus made me smile too and I love the Alice inspired one too! But they are all fab - hope 2013 is kinder to your health hugs Susan x
Oh wow Sue, some absolute stunners here and while you may feel that your cards were better in the first half of the year I only discovered you in the later half of the year and I thought that you had done some stunners then.
I really hope that your health improves very, very soon and so very pleased that you are still able to enjoy the crafting and continue to turn out some wonderful cards.

Hi Sue, there wasn't one of those I didn't like, all fabulous. Sorry to hear your health is a bit of a struggle so chin up, wear a smile and hopefully that will help a bit.
If you do decide to tackle an ATC (or a tag) this year I would love to do a swap with you...all we need is each other's addy and away we go lol.
Take care of yourself,
Elaine
All totally gorgeous cards sweetie, absolutely awesome each of them. I completely understand what you mean about health & choosing the easy option I've been doing that as well. Hopefully though I will get out of the habit a bit more this year & hopefully get more tutorials done as well.
