Happy New Year and welcome to 2015! I've seen several stamping blogs
that do a "year in review" sort of thing and thought I'd give it a
try. It's hard to pick my own favourites, so I had some help from Danabella! It was
fun to go back and review what I made throughout the year.
JANUARY
brings us Mimi - love her fun glasses!
FEBRUARY brings us one of those crazy Senioritas! I adore how this one turned out!
MARCH I
started to play around with stencils and fell in love! This card using a Gorjuss girl was also perfect to practice my hair colouring.
APRIL
brought lots of birthdays and these Uptown Girls know how to celebrate!
MAY brings
us sunshine and spring flowers and I loved this butterfly card - virtually no stamping but I loved the finished result!
JUNE
brought me right out of my comfort zone with this card challenge which was "one layer
wonder" but it turned out to be one of my top 5 favs this year...in fact I will say it IS my fav for 2014!
JULY brought
us to Christal's birthday card - she loves those Uptown Girls too!
AUGUST
brought a 50th Wedding Anniversary party and this card made my top 5 favs too!
SEPTEMBER
brought the new release from Stampingbella and with it
my new loves...Buddy and Jolly.
Seriously I could not get enough of these little guys and they easily made one of my top 5 fav!
OCTOBER
brings Halloween and this Too Cute To Spook PI girl!
NOVEMBER
was full on for Christmas card making and Rudolph just makes me smile with his
wonky eyes!
DECEMBER
brought this little cutie and she made my top 5 favs too!
Well, I
hope you enjoyed this look back at 2014.
Wishing you and yours all the best in 2015.....let the stamping begin!
Cheerio.....Leslie
Here are two more Gorjuss girl cards I made. It's the same layout and colours, as I still had all the supplies out, but I personalized their hair colour. These are for two of my friends (sisters) and honestly, this is exactly what they looked like when they were little girls!

I absolutely loved a card that Michele Boyer made recently using one of the MFT stencils. Click HERE to see her card. As I bought several of their stencils last month I was itching to try this technique. This is a new image that I'd forgotten I had - please tell me you do that too :). I must say I am loving these Gorguss Girls and what a perfect name for them.
I made this card specifically for our volunteer at work. She's heading back to school and we wanted to thank her for all her hard work. She has gorgeous, long, black hair and after watching several You Tube videos on colouring black hair, I gave it a try.
I stamped the sentiment on the inside leaving lots of room for everyone to write.
Here are the copics I used.
I had so much fun colouring this girl up, I made two more and I'll show you those tomorrow.
Cheerio.....Leslie
