Top 10 for 2011

I LOVE looking at everybody's Top 10 favorites of 2011!  I did the same on my blog last year and it really brings back fun memories.  It also is a bit of a kick start for the new year.  Kind of makes you think, must get that set out again...or try that color scheme...or use that sketch!

And possibly my favorite of all, featuring my favorite stamp set of the year...

    Wow,that was such fun looking back on all your beautiful cards. Kelly, you are so talented and although it was hard, my favorite was A Purple Christmas. The colors and the white embossing in the background is so striking and I really loved it when you originally posted it and still do. Happy New Year.

    Oh, my goodness, Kelly! Don't know if I can pick a favorite... maybe I'll choose the Verve valentine. Love all the different prints on the hearts... and the scallop-y border at the side. And the delicate inking around the edges. Great work on all of them!

    Well, I love them ALL... but the Baby Button Bits one is my favourite, because your paper piecing is perfect, and I love the colour scheme!! :D

    Kelly, these are all wonderful! Tough to pick just one favorite with such a beautiful selection, but I think your Baby Button Bits is a gorgeous stamped piece!

    Oh my gosh Kelly, your cards are all amazing. I am going to need to stop by more often for some inspiration. I think I like the one with the hearts the best! . Your very creative! Take care.

    I love your style! Every card is so interesting, both in colours and elements. I find myself wanting to look at each and every one for a long time! You master both bold and sublte colours! (That peapod is adorable!) As a Swede, I enjoy especially the last "mitten" card. I've seen at least 1000 mittens and sweaters in those patterns in my life. :)

    Oh my gosh, how could I pick a favourite from all these beautiful projects? I love love your last one most, but also the baby button bloom paper piecing one is so fun, and the Betsy colour scheme inspired one, AND the verve hearts (great layout!) AND the ATC with little snippet of gingham... I should have just stopped after the first line. ;) Thanks so much for sharing!
