Top 13 Projects of 2013: Year In Review

Hello everyone. I can't believe a new year is dawning!  As 2014 approaches, I wanted to look back at my creative projects from 2013 and post a few of my favorites.  I love seeing these types of posts on your blogs and wanted to follow suit. 

Below are 13 of my favorites in the order that they appeared on my blog this year. The blue titles hyperlink back to the original posts and tutorials. 

At The Sea - Pebbles Inc. 





I'm All Ears - October Afternoon





Welcome Little One - Echo Park Paper



Lollipop Tents - Echo Park Paper





Delight - Little Yellow Bicycle



Sailboat Tag - Pebbles Inc.



Silly Amazing Handsome You - My Mind's Eye



The Race - My Mind's Eye



I Fell In Love - Fancy Pants Designs

One Fine Day - Fancy Pants Designs


Toilet Roll Reindeer - Fancy Pants Designs



Shaker Card - Crate Paper


Do you have a favorite among these?

As it turned out, 2013 was the Year of the Pub for me. I had 38 projects in print publications this year including work in Paper Crafts Magazine, Creating Keepsakes, Better Homes and Gardens (specialty issue Make It Yourself), Scrapbook and Cards Today, Scrapbooking & Beyond, CARDS, Scrapbook Trends, Create and Simply Handmade.  Sadly, most of these magazines have either ceased publication or will publish only (or primarily) in digital form in 2014. 

I hope 2013 was a wonderful year for you. If you've written a list of favorite projects from the past year, I'd love to see your post. Please link it in the comments. 

Happy New Year!
