Top Twelve of 2012- Blog Hop and GIVEAWAY!

This year has been quite busy for me.  I completed at least 180 pages, 6 mini albums, and countless cards and altered items.  I worked on 8 different design teams and had 10 publications. I worked in a scrapbook store teaching classes and went to a weekend long retreat.  And I have lots and lots of memories documented...

This is supposed to be a Top Ten hop, but I just couldn't do it!!! I picked 12 for 2012.  It was easy to pick my top 5 or so, but after that, it got a bit harder.  I love trying to define my style by looking at them collectively and picking out common techniques, papers, and colors.  5 of the 12 use Crate Paper papers, and the others are American Crafts, Basic Grey, GCD Studios, and Glitz, oh and one We R thrown in there, too.

Most of my background are neutral in color, while the papers are bright and bold.  Lots of paint and mist and stitching and dimension.

These are in no particular order.

A group of my online scrappy friends and I are doing a Top Ten blog hop.  There are several blogs with prizes, and TONS of inspiration.  You don't have to visit the blogs in order, and each person's giveaways (if they have them) are being run individually.

I have a giveaway, too!!  Please leave me a comment telling me which layout you like the best from my 12 (or another one you like but I didn't choose).   I will choose one someone who commented and is a follower to receive a large goody bag of some Christmas stash from me!  

I have 22 papers from Crate Paper Sleigh Ride, Studio Calico Wonderland, Authentique Peaceful, some Glitz and a few others, too.  There are stickers and ribbons and rhinestones and tags and die cut polaroids and two rolls of washi tape.   Lots of stuff! 

Thank you for stopping by and Happy New Year!
