The Year in Review…My Favorite Cards of 2013

One of my favorite things to do at the end of December is to take a look at the cards I created during the past year…a retrospective.  From clean to vintage and everything in-between, I created them all this year.  There were flops, for sure, but there were a few which were labors of love.  I will be dividing them into three groups over three days. To learn more about each card, please click on the link below each picture. I hope you enjoy these blasts from the past!

Clean and Simple

Join me tomorrow as I select a few of my “Goldilock’s Cards”:  Not too clean, not too distressed…these cards are just right! Until next time…

  4. Hi Ann,
    Thanks for your nice comment regarding my PPA card. I love your work. You seem to have the artist’s touch.

  5. I love them all an all your other creations! All of them are so inspiring. They aren’t just clean and simple, they are all so powerful!! Thanks for your inspiration, ALWAYS!

  6. I have not seen one of your cards that I haven’t fallen in love with! Gorgeous all, but I love what you did with the huge swallowtail here and I really like the map card. I can’t wait to see what else you choose to review. Thanks for sharing with us. (I looked at puppies yesterday, but none of them “spoke” to me. I was so glad they were being adopted while I was there.) Nancy B

  7. Thanks for the revisit – I had forgotten all of these gorgeous cards except the wetlands one. My how time flies. Looking forward to the rest of the year in review! Stay warm and dry! Our flurries turned into several inches today.

  12. Ann, each one of this cards is amazing in it’s own right. In all the time I’ve known you, there is NOT ONE SINGLE CARD you’ve made that it’s not amazing. You are a gifted and generous artist and I can’t wait to learn more from you. Here’s wishing Love, Joy and Health for you and your family in 2014.

  13. I am always so impressed by clean and simple cards because I know how challenging it is to create a really good one. These are stunning…especially love “Wetlands”…the way you created that feeling of sunrise/sunset and the peaceful mood really speaks to me. You are amazing….is there any style you can’t create? Happy New Year, my friend!

  14. Love them all, of course, but that Swallowtail holds the number one spot for me!
