Top 10 Cards of 2011

Hiya everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and had lots of really nice presents! I had a brilliant Christmas this year, and got some great stuff, and I'm really enjoying and making the most of the Christmas holidays before I have to go back to school. It feels like such a long time since I uploaded a card, but I've not had much mojo recently and I've been quite preoccupied with all the assessments at school, but I thought I'd do a post to show you my ten favourite cards from 2011, seeing as tomorrow is New Year's Eve!

They're not in any particular order, apart from the top one, which I think is probably my favourite from this year. This was the first time I used kraft on a card, and I think I'll definitely have to get some more, as I really liked using it!

Here is my blue and green Tilda card that I made in late summer.

I'm so glad I started using polychromatic pencils, rather than Pro Markers. I do really like Pro Markers, but I don't think I was very good at using them, and the pencils suit me so much more. I love this cute image - it's so summery!

I used my mum's gorgeous Tim Holtz stamps on this card, which I forgot how much I love! I definitely need to have another go with those in the New Year! :)

I remember making this card, as it was the last one I uploaded from my old rented house. I miss being able to use my mum's craft room there, but never mind. I've got a lovely new desk in my room now anyway, so that's just as good. :)

This was for my mum for Mother's Day, I think. It's a shame I only have one of these images - they're so sweet!

This card was also for my mum, but it was for my dad to give to her for her birthday. I still can't believe this paper pad was free with a magazine!

This one was for my grandad who had a heart operation, but he is doing a lot better and recovering well now thankfully.

This was made with my lovely Basic Grey Max & Whiskers papers, which I won in Liz's blog candy! They're so cute!

Finally, here is another Tilda card, but using one of the older Magnolia images and complete with more freebie papers - yay! :D

Well, that's it! Thanks for looking at my list and I can't wait to come and have a look at other people's top card lists as well!

I noticed that I haven't posted very much this year at all, but hopefully I will have more time in 2012 and I can get crafty more often! I think the first half of the year will be busy, but after my exams in June, I will have an extended summer break before Sixth Form starts. I am so looking forward to my GCSEs being over and starting Sixth Form - I just know I'm going to love it! I applied for the Sixth Form at my school in November, and I opted for English Language, English Literature, Politics and Fine Art. I've really dropped on with those subjects, because both Politics and English Language run trips to London, and I've never been to London before, so that'll be great!

Anyway, enough of me waffling on! Thanks so much for looking by and have fun on New Year's Eve, whatever you're doing!

Happy New Year!

Lots of love, Georgia xxxx
