Hi Everyone
Well .. .. 2011 is nearly over .. .. and it has been a mixed year here in the House of Hearts.
Lots of exciting things have happened and some very worrying ones too .. .. but we have made it to the end and are ready to start another year full of anticipation and wonderment at what all of those empty pages in the diary are going to hold.
Well it's not completely empty .. .. I have lots of of "lovely couples" booked in for wedding stationery .. .. and my main dream for next year is that my little business is going to be even busier.
It is so lovely to be able to do 24/7 what I love doing most in the world. I do know I am a lucky girlie and count my blessings daily.
Anyway, round to my favourite 5 makes of 2011. This is all part of Debby's challenge - though how she managed to make her selection from all the posts on her blog I have no idea as every make Debby posts is amazing!! Thanks for your inspiration Debby and for setting this little challenge.
So in no particular order here are my favourite 5 cards of 2011:
This just leaves me to wish everyone a very happy 2012 - I hope it is a year that will be kind to you and your families.
I have made some lovely blog friends this year and would like to thank you for all your visits here and the lovely comments you leave.. .. .. and thank you for all the inspiration that your blogs ooze.
If you are here to try and win the 20 Promarkers from Handy Hippo then you need to click here. Good luck!!!
I will be spending the evening with my lovely Sis .. .. no new year celebration would seem right if we weren't together.

Somehow I missed that dragonfly card--absolutely gorgeous!! And I'm so happy to see the favorite card of *mine* made the list--the birthday/wheat stamp card. Gosh, I love that card!!!
Happy New Year to you and yours, Jules! Thanks for all your comments and encouragment on my blog!
HNY Jules!
What a fabulous choice youve made, Im sure it must have been so difficult just picking 5 of them!
They are all stunning and show your inimitable style so perfectly! Your choice really wouldnt have been complete with a little PB making an appearance so have to say how beautiful that card is too!
Think my favourite has to be No.3! I am totally in love with that bp and its driving me batty as Im sure I recognise it too but my tiny brain isnt assisting this time! lol!
Think you just may have jolted me out of my blogging slumber Jules! Cheers for that and I hope you have/had a super time seeing in the NY!

Oh Jules, how on earth did you narrow it down to only five. So many beautiful makes from you this year & these are just the pick of a wonderful crop. My fave has to be the one with the grasses as it's so bright & very striking. All the best for 2012 to you & yours.

FABULOUS! So love all these cards, so great to look back at the year of creativity!!!
Fab cards, Jules! I usually do a post to show my favourite 12 of the year (one for each month) and have done that again for today, so have also linked to Debby's challenge. I've also posted my crafty new year resolutions - and you get a mention! Happy New Year xx

Gorgeous selection of cards, bet it was difficult for you to choose just 5 when you produce such stunning work. Happy New Year to you :) x.
Love them all Jules, as usual, and like Debby I'd be hard to pick my favourites out of all your makes too, don't undersell yourself, lol!! Hope you had a great New Year (3am eh???)! Silly me posted a couple of snippet cards yesterday, totally forgot Di was raking over today, lol!! Very best wishes to you all for 2012 and good luck for your business too.

I don't know how you managed to pick just five cards as your faves from last year. I would have had to have picked ten times that many from all of your pretty makes. Out of these, I love your wheat sheaf card and my absolute fave is the dragon fly. Another one for me to case when I get back home. If you think I'm posting this card late at night - it's actually 3.20 in the morning where I am! Hugs, Lesley
What a stunning collection Jules.
Thanks for joining in with My Favourite cards of 2011.
luv
Debby
