2015 Retrospective

Hi everyone!!

So if you've followed my blog for a while, you know that I usually do a retrospective of my fave layouts, cards, tags and projects, and this year is no different. I really don't remember how I've done this in the past, but this year, I am just picking my faves. I didn't decide, oh I'll do top ten, or top five......I just picked the faves......so, the number of projects will be different for each category. They are not in any particular order, and I've also decided to link the individual blog posts, if any. So let's get started.......

Layouts

Cards, Tags, Bags and More

Happy Creating!!

Retrospective 2014 ~ Part II ~ The Projects

Hi ev eryone!

When I said I'd be back tomorrow with Part Two, I totally forgot that I had the Flying Unicorn January KOM Reveal to do. Meanwhile........life got in the way. The upside....it's Friday and I'm blogging!

Part two consists of altered items, canvases, etc.....anything but layouts. So here are my top twelve fave projects for the past year, in no particular order. And I will link if there is a blog post for the project.

CT Project for Flying Unicorn ~ Mojo Monday

 

So I got eight out of twelve posted. And really after doing the Ustream show for the stocking, I didn't think I needed a blog post for it, so I'm not counting it. Nine out of twelve it is! Again, not near as bad as I thought. 

I will admit that the first part of the year was the worst for blogging. At that time I was on 4 different DT......and when you think about it, that's a lot of work to do every month, plus posts, etc. On top of that I was working overnights with a 4 on 4 off rotation of 12+ hour shifts. So I'm not going to beat myself up for not posting much. 

Obviously the new plan is working, so I will continue to post every Monday and Friday. That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by, and

Happy Playing!!

Retrospective 2014 ~ Part I ~ The Layouts

Hi everyone!!

The year is almost over! Can you believe it? Time is just flying by!

Since today is my birthday, I thought I would share a 2014 retrospective. I decided to narrow it down to just 12 projects, but I soon realized that, that was impossible. I did manage to keep it at two posts. So this first post is for my top 12 fave layouts from this year. I decided not to put them in any particular order. But I will add links if I have a post for it.....though that's not likely....since I was so bad at it!! LOL

Nine out of the twelve layouts have posts.....not as bad as I thought!! Though I have to admit that those that don't have posts are for the CT that I do the most posting for everywhere else. Ie Facebook, Flying Unicorn Blog and Forum, etc. 

Doing this post made me notice something that I haven't seen before.....well actually three things. One, I apparently love mixed media layouts more than those without. I need to remember that when I am without mojo.....and should probaly refer back to these! Two, I love bold colors....I always thought I preferred softer and more neutral colors, but I was wrong! Three, I have five layouts for Flying Unicorn, but only three made with the KOMs.....that's sad!! I think that I should have more, and that makes me wonder why. 

I'll be back tomorrow with my Top Twelve Projects (anything but layouts), for the year.

Happy Scrapping!
