Top 10 of 2013 and a Giveaway!

Thanks for dropping in during this immensely busy season and welcome to the top 10 blog hop of 2013! I am so thrilled that you have popped in today!  So much so in fact that I am doing a fun little giveaway!

You should have hopped your way here from Christine's blog. She is an amazing crafter and the brainchild of this grand hop! This is my first year participating and I cannot believe how many talented scrappers you will be visiting along the way. I am honored to have been invited to participate this year! There are a huge variety of styles so there is sure to be something for everyone!

Choosing my top 10 projects was no easy feat. Honestly, these are in no particular order and very possibly not a thorough list....after that check out the details on how to get entered for my prize!

 

****************

 

I created this layout for the Core'dinations HardCore Crop Challenge that I hosted. It is entirely made from cardstock!

 

 

I cannot say I was a huge fan of anything but scrapbook layouts when the year began. I have changed my ways!! I created these name cards for Imaginisce to feature the Bucket O Fall collection and just adore the cute turkey with the burlap button body!

 

 

Another project created for Imaginisce, this a card for Veteran's Day. I am not a card maker either. At least, I wasn't prior to this year. I have to say, I am growing increasingly tolerant to them. Given the choice between a card and a layout, I'd rather invest an hour in a layout. Cards take me forever, as long as a layout.

 

 

Another card I made for Imaginisce!

 

 

As part of the Pebbles DT, we were sent some AC Halloween supplies that were available at Target! Adding my own flair to this witches hat kit was fun! I love the finished outcome!

 

 

I created this for both Scrapdoodles (my LSS for whom I design) and Pebbles Inc.

 

 

Another layout created for Scrapdoodles using Basic Grey's Persimmon collection; my absolute favorite from summer CHA (my first ever CHA!!).

 

 

This is my first ever Project Life style layout which I created for Scrapdoodles. It is the layout that got me hook, line and sinker into PL style layouts. I am still pondering my ability to keep up with PL and thinking I might not take that challenge in 2014 but stick with the PL style layouts.

 

 

I love me my Core'dinations cardstock!! Sigh...

 

 

And last, but not least, this two page layout that was published in Creating Keepsakes. When they were still a print publication. Gonna miss my print pubs!

 

 

So!! Now on to the prize!! I have some great goodies from Chic Tags' Good Tidings collection for you; some Snip 'em Tags, Journaling Tags and Gold Stars Rub-ons!

 

To be entered to win the prize please leave a comment below telling me which of my projects you love most. It could be something I haven't thought of and isn't listed here. Please also link me up to your favorite project that you have created in 2013 if you wouldn't mind! I'd love to see your favorite now that you've seen mine!
