Here’s Becca’s comment:

My favorite has to be the Greeting Card Kids! Of course they are my favorite stamps in my craft room so I am a little partial. 🙂

For the April – May – June post, the winner is:  #6  Colleen B.
Here is what Colleen had to say:

And as a surprise…I am going to give fifty 6″ x 6″ retired sheets of  retired Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper to a randomly selected person who commented on the January – February – March cards.  And this person is:  #15 maryr917.  Mary’s comment follows: 

If you will email me your addresses, I will get  you paper in the mail pronto!  Thanks so much to everyone for the fabulous comments! I really do value your opinions.  Now I am off to create a “From Me to You” card…and I will hopefully get back on track with stamping and posting!  Until next time…

Welcome to the final day of 2011: The Year in Review…October, November and December.  I love creating fall and winter cards, so it comes as no surprise that I had a difficult time narrowing down my choices to just one per month.  So here we go on the final leg of our journey!  To learn more about each card, just click on the month and name of the post.


October – Tree for The Players

Pearls, pearls, and more pearls, paired with delicious seam binding roses!  Need I say more as to why this card is my favorite for October!

November -Christmas Lodge for Freshly Made Sketches

Texture! Glitter! Pearls! Add a cute bow treatment…and you have the recipe for my favorite card of November!

December – Vintage Elegance for The Paper Players

How do I love thee?  Let me count the ways.  I love thy texture…thy coloring..and the awesome ‘possum ribbon treatment!  With its Victorian elegance, this Apothecary Art card is my favorite for December!

So what do you think?  Do you have a soft spot for seam binding roses, or do you prefer the “freshness” of a Christmas Lodge?  Or could it be that Victoriana is your cup of tea?  Just let me know in today’s comment!  And yes…for one more time…I will share fifty 6″ x 6″ retired pieces of Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper with one more randomly selected person from all comments left on this post  by Noon CST Tuesday.  And to make things easier…I will do a simple post Tuesday afternoon and name the three winners of the paper (instead of naming two on Monday and one on Tuesday). Until next time…

July – Caroling with The Paper Players

I love the movie “A Christmas Carol” in all its versions, and the stamp set, “A Christmas Carol” evokes memories of that movie for me! The richness of the Mocha Morning paper offsets the simplicity of the embossed image.  Add a beautiful bow and my favorite pearls, and I have card I could stare at for days!  I hope the person who received this card for Christmas feels the same way.


August – School Daze for The Paper Players

I can make clean and cute cards!  I love the bright colors and this adorable Greeting Card Kids image. For the water coloring on this card, I used inks and blender pens. 


September – Field Flowers for The Paper Players

Mmmm…Rich Razzleberry paired with Old Olive looks so yummy.  Plus I love this layout.  Once again, a beautiful bow and pearls place this card right at the top of my choices for September.


I hope you enjoyed our look at the “summer” months!  Although there were no fancy techniques, there were indeed a couple of pretty bows!  


Yesterday I asked which of the “spring cards” was your favorite, and so far the race is too close to call! So how about a little more fun, and a chance for another person to win fifty sheets of 6″ x  6″ retired Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper? In your comment today, just let me know which of today’s three cards is YOUR favorite! I will randomly select a winner from all comments left on this post by Noon CST Sunday.  I will make certain to post the names of the two winners in Monday’s post.  Until next time…
