2011 Top Ten Favorites

Happy New Year!  Last year I really enjoyed looking through all the cards I made and creating a Top Ten list.  I made 76 posts in 2010 and hoped to double that for 2011.  I came close with 131 posts and it was tough to narrow them down to my favorite ten.  So, here are my Top Ten Favorite cards for 2011.

Make a Wish
Hello Sunshine

It's Your Day

Eat Cake Tag

A Little Birdie Told Me


Birthday Witch's Closet

First WMSC Winner

Paper Ruffles

Velvet Santa

Nordic Winter Sock Monkey

My very favorite is the last one, Nordic Winter Sock Monkey.  It reminds me of my sweet little niece and was so much fun to give to her on Christmas Eve.

Which one do you like the best?  Thanks for looking at my favorites and for all the sweet messages and encouragement throughout the year.  Happy New Year!

I love them all...
I could never pick just one!! :)
They're all so different...
and each is fabulous in their own distinct way!
But I do have to confess that the sock monkey is beyond words adorable...
I just love it!
But I'm still not picking faves! ;)
Happy New Year...
and I'll talk to you soon! :)

Well they're ALL fabulous, but I think you know which one is my favorite. I'm sitting here as I type looking at it hanging on our tree :)

Joyce said...

Wow--they are all wonderful cards and tags. So much work and love into each one. I'd have to say my favorite is the first one. It was that card of yours that I first noticed and wanted to Case--(still haven't gotten to it, but it is saved). So, maybe I'm sentimental, but I just love that one. Also, I'm a huge fan of brown and light blue. Happy New Year to you, friend.

Teresa said...

I love them all and I can't just pick one favorite, so I'm picking two...Paper Ruffles and Velvet Santa!

Kim Heggins said...

I don't know how you were able to narrow it down to just 10 cards, all of your cards are like a piece of art work to me. It was fun seeing which ones you choose for your top 10. Happy New year and looking forward to seeing many more of your creations.

Oh this had me clapping from me seat AGAIN! Sooo hard to choose but if I am being FORCED to, that ruffle card gets me every time! Those COLORS! It's just so dreamy! (((Small voice...but I can't leave out the genius sock monkey either :))))!!!!

They're all beautiful but I'm partial to your ruffled papers.

Beautiful projects, great work!

Susan said...

Oh I love seeing these Cathy! But it also makes me a bit sad since I haven't been around your blog lately to get to enjoy them on a weekly basis. Your cards are so incredible and have so much detail to them. I still have the card you sent me sitting on my shelf in my craft room. xo

Rhonda said...

Can't choose!! Just can't!!! Happy New Year to you and your family.

Karin said...

Fantasic cards! Love the round Santa one, it's super cute :) Thanks so much for linking up at my blog and have a happy new year!

Jen Adcock said...

Oh my oh my! Cathy this is one gorgeous lineup of paper magic! I am so moved and inspired by you and your wealth of creations. Thank you! I am giddy with excitement in anticipation of what 2012 will bring for you. Needless to say, I can't wait! You are such a wonderful crafter and I am blessed to know of your amazing work.

Happy New Years Cathy! Love all your cards, thought I would see some of your button cards. I love those and you do them best. Love the Little Bird Told me , the one you made for your daughters b-day and of course that adorable sock monkey.

Cheryl said...

I really like your Make a Wish card. What a great use of sentiment stamps! That sock monkey takes the cake, though. Brilliant!

Sue Ann said...

You KNOW I love the witches brew!!! And the sock monkey TOO TOO cute!!

Pat said...

If you forced me to choose, I'd go with Velvet Santa or Sock Monkey. You've made some fabulous cards and tags this year. I look forward to seeing what you create in 2012.

Cathy......Your cards are just amazing! The sock monkey card is so adorable but my favorite is the very first one. Do you remember why it would be? That's the card that had you introduce Impression Obsession's Cover-a-Card stamps to me! I just love your work!

Gayatri said...

Fantastic cards. Very creative, Cathy! Love them all.
Happy New Year!

Ted said...

Cathy! It was wonderful to see your comment on my blog. :) I am not even going to try to pick a favorite of yours...because each is so unique. I love the variety! But if you twisted my arm, I love the "Little Birdie Told Me" vintage-y card. :) May you and your family have a blessed New Year!

Deborah Frings said...

Cathy - what a fabulous selection of projects!! So much variety and all just gorgeous. So difficult to pick a favourite, but I think by a smige it has to be A Little Birdie Told Me!

Wishing you a very Happy New Year!

Cheryl said...

These are all so gorgeous! I love the card with the ruffles. Thank you for sharing!

Wishing you a year of health, happiness and creativity! Happy New Year!

Heidi said...

Cathy I could never pick just one of these! They are all fantastic!!

The Paper Parade said...

Cathy, they are all gorgeous! I think for me, though, the two that stand out the most are the sunflowers and the adorable sock monkey :) Thanks for starting this thread at the PTI forum, its a lot of fun to look through everyone's work!

Janelle said...

What great work, Cathy! Love them all but, I must say, I'm partial to the sock monkey, too. :)

They are all so beautiful, Cathy! Great work - I loved seeing them!

Gorgeous creations! I absolutely adore the first one, and everything about it; the colour scheme, the sentiment background, the focal point with candles, the strip with polka dots... thanks for sharing and best wishes for the new year!

Victoria said...

Gorgeous cards, Cathy! My favorites are the Paper Ruffles and the Santa tag!

Monica K. said...

These are all so beautiful, Cathy! There's no way I could pick a favorite. I love the techniques you used---the circles with twine, the layering, the paper ruffles. Your work is very inspiring and makes me want to finally get crafting again!

BethieJ said...

Jen Carter said...

These were so fun to look back on! They are all wonderful picks but my favorite has to be the sunflowers with the twine centers! I have loved that card from the moment I saw it!
