Also, a big Thank You to Latisha Yoast for organizing this yearly hop!
Did you find as I did that 2015 just sailed by? Every year I have so many
goals, desires and new ideas and it seems every year goes by with those
remaining untapped.
One goal I have every year is to comment more on your blogs. Unfortunately I was not too successful in that area. I do not have good internet and that really makes it tough.
That won't stop me from trying again this year though!
A second goal was to craft for me and
be happy with what I crafted; success!
On to the blog candy-
Fun Stampers Journey stamps, nip; Top Dog Dies border die, nip; Unity Stamps small stamp kit, nip; Technique Tuesday stamps and matching dies, nip; Pebbles oversized paperclips
*Please note, due to costs, I can only ship to the U.S.
Coloring. What a comeback it made this year!
I was thrilled as another goal of mine was to improve my coloring.
And then there was watercoloring. Did you get into the
watercoloring craze?

Welcome to the Seasons Giving Blog Hop!
This hop is a thank you to our blog readers and followers; there are over 100 participants in this hop and everyone has a give away! That is a lot of free goodies!

This year has been an exciting one, being on several design teams; they kept me busy!
I am grateful for all of you who stopped in and left snippets of kindness and love;
everyone's time is valuable and I know you have as much or more
on your plate than me, so
THANK YOU!
Now on to the give away! Please note that unfortunately, due to shipping costs,

I loved all of the new trends, techniques and products that came out this year! From
gold embossing and vellum to watercoloring and sequins, I embraced them all, LOL! The
above project uses a Stampendous image, gold embossing and watercoloring.
My inspiration for this card came from Runway Inspired Challenges, AAA Cards-use gold and from Colour Me...!, where
they are celebrating their one year anniversary. I used CMCC#14.
Here are my top 10 favorite cards of the year~
they are celebrating their one year anniversary. I used CMCC#14.
Dazzle Craft Metal. I used the gold embossing and vellum. :)
Another CAS card, this one using Cas-ual Fridays stamps and dies and Add a Little Dazzle Craft Metal- and some more gold embossing! I also used my favorite
new tool of 2014- the Misti.
One of my favorite floral images is this Precious Poppy image from Sweet 'n
Sassy Stamps; colored with Prismacolor Pencils. I am trying to bring back torn paper, LOL!
I love the look! :)
Another trendy technique of 2014 is mixed media, which I did here, along with vellum. Shells are
from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Beauty By the Sea and sentiment is from Across the Miles.
I really love how all of the elements came together.
It is hard to go wrong with this gorgeous die from Die-Namites; I layered up the flowers
and colored the tree limb with Copics. I used vellum and gold embossing here;
noticing a trend?? LOL!
This may be my fave for the year. I used dies from Top Dog Dies- Fall Foliage and
the Signature Beatrix die along with the fabby stencil from Crafters
Workshop. And gold embossing!
Sponging is the name of the game here, along with a Windmill die from Top Dog
Dies and Add a Little Dazzle Craft Metal. And torn paper. :)
I love a collage style card, but really struggle with them, so when this one came
together, I was thrilled! There is quite a variety of goodies represented here-
Stampin' Up sea shell image, Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps nautical compass image, Top
Dog Dies- Decorative Corners dies and Laurel Lace Border die, some Heartfelt Creations dp,
and a water colored background.
This card came together well with an MFT sketch. I used MFT stamps and
dies for this card. I worked on improving my Copic coloring skills
this past year.
Had to sneak a masculine card in! Poor guys always seem to be getting left
out! I used PTI stamp set, Happy Harlequin, and die. I love
how the Add a Little Dazzle Craft Metal pops on this card. Another trend this past
year?- the inlaid die technique, which I used here.
Thank you if you are still with me on this lengthy post! Here is your blog hop list~
for a chance to win this giveaway. Winner will be announced on January 6th.
Happy Hopping and
Happy New Year!

Seasons Givings Blog Hop
Hello and Happy New Year to You!
Welcome to the Seasons Givings Blog Hop.
As a thank you for being a blog reader/follower, there will be a give away to one random commenter on my blog; actually, everyone on this list is giving something away. All you need to do is go to their blog and leave a comment, so be sure to settle in with a cup of coffee and enjoy the creativity!
Lee Ann Barrett- you are here. Thanks for leaving me a comment!
I have been considering card styles lately, trying to figure out what I like and how I create and why. I gravitate to elegant cards but will try just about anything; today I tackled the collage style card~
What about other card styles?
I enjoy clean and layered cards, although often mine tend to be more 'natural' and layered~
I have learned to embrace cas cards~
Maybe you are a vintage/shabby chic girl. I enjoyed creating this shabby card~
But, as I said, elegant cards seem to be what I gravitate to ~
So, what style are you? I am sure we could name other styles, and I have certainly made cards that do not seem to fit in any category. I would love it if you let me know what style you like and which of my above mentioned cards is your favorite. Crafty Style. It is something to think about for the new year!
