Happy New Year ~ Welcome 2018!
I hope you had a nice evening and celebrated New Year's Eve in whatever style you wanted! As I have done the past few years, I am going to take a look back at my creations for 2017, this first day of the new year. Here is my collection of my 12 favorite cards of the year--one for each month.

I hope you enjoy this collection and a look back at 2017.......... And, if you read all the way to the end, you will see how you might be able to win my blog candy!

So--what did I learn on my look back?
~~I love to use my Copic Markers and have patterned paper as the background on most cards.
~~I love sentiment stamps along with those that I do color with my Copics. That is one reason that I just love being on The Project Bin-A Way with Words Design Team! I love the sentiments that Denise creates!
~~I posted 22 cards in February and March. There were no single digit months this year and I did have a few in the past. I think I did pretty good this past year.
~~In the past few years, I have posted in this summary, that I used many similar designs on my cards and I needed to branch out a bit more, maybe using some sketches for inspiration. I do think I did become more creative this year and I plan to do even better in 2018!
What are your thoughts on the cards I picked? Which one was your favorite? Please post a comment and tell me what you think about my highlights of 2017. I will chose randomly chose one person who leaves a comment and send a package of blog candy to them. Please comment by January 11th and I will post the winner on the 13th--so be sure to check back.
Thanks for playing along, Barb

Barb, I love these year in review posts because it gives us (the viewing audience) a chance to admire your creations all over again. And WOW! What a fabulous collection you have. They are all absolutely stunning! I agree with what you said about branching out and them not all being "similar" like you thought your cards in past years were. Awesome job!
Now, to choose one favorite... impossible! They are all winners, to my way of thinking!
I see several cards I missed through the year. Lots of womderful creations but my personal favorite is your butterfly card from April. Butterflies are one of my favorite things.
Halpy New Year, Barb! Wishing you a crsfty 2018!
Love love love your November choice Barb. I did miss some through the year, and in this summary I can see that you have branched out more - well done
Blessings

Big hugs and Happy New Year!
