Top 10 from 2010!

I am planning on working on some new stamping projects today but after seeing several blogs of Top 10 selections, I thought it would be fun to look back on cards I made during the past year. The thing I realized was how much I had used certain sets or images and how similar in style my cards seem to be. I am so not a frilly or vintage person. Even when I have tried (like making 'puffy' flowers), there is still
that more taylored look. I also can see how much I enjoy embossing, coloring with Copics and paper piecing. All things I do a lot without even realizing it.

I had a couple of Christmas cards that were also special that I didn't include. These are roughly in order of oldest to newest.

I love Daily Designs and used this heart and sentiment A LOT!
Works great for Valentine's Day

My first puffy flower, per Dawn McVey's inspiration!

Another favorite set (actually have all 3 coordinated ones)
Wonderful sentiments too!

LOVED Wonderfully Whimsical from the first sneak peek!
(This was before I had cloud dies and I cut out my own--ugh!)

Christmas version

This one's from a PTI Blog Hop
I adore Harvest Gold and it works
so great with black and white

Vintage Picnic--another favorite!
I use it a lot

And of course, I can't get along without
 Pure Innocence images. Perhaps you noticed
I love to do paper piecing as well! 


Another wonderful PTI introduction
Up, Up and Away (now with cloud dies!)

Reviewing your own projects is really fun and pretty educational as well. If you have time, take a few minutes to look back and post your choices. Hope the new year holds many new challenges and enjoyable stamping experiences.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.........
Smiles,
Sharron

Oh my goodness, how GORGEOUS are all of these?? I especially love the vintage picnic (I'm constantly on the fence about that set), and the Up Up & Away (one of my all-time favorites, but I haven't had it out in a while... I'm thinking I might have to use it soon!). Thanks for the inspiration!

Sharron, I am glad you shared your top ten for 2010. If I was forced to pick one favorite from these, I would chose the Wonderfully Whimsical Christmas card. The image just pops and is so merry.I have been inspired so frequently by your creations this past year and I am looking forward to your creations this year. Hugs, Cammie

Nerina said...

Oh wow Sharron .... I thought when I started scrolling down that your puffy flower card would be my top card for sure (wow - that is SO beautiful) ... but the further down I got the harder choosing became! What an amazing year in review - what *beautiful* work!!
