2016 in Review...

I don't know about you, but creatively speaking 2016 was a very quiet year for me! 

Hopefully my creativity will get a well deserved jump start in 2017, especially as I have already booked back-to-back weekends away in March, first is a mixed media extravaganza, then heading up country for cardmaking with some super creative friends. Which prompts me to question, what do you call a collective of cardies? A winter wardrobe?!?

Anyway, I was able to muster a dozen of my favourites for 2016...











And for a trip down memory lane, my favourites from previous years...

Inkspirational Uniko Christmas...


I don't know about you but Christmas seems to sneak up more quickly with each passing year! Even with the best of intentions I did not get much of a head start on my Christmas card stash this year!

I had some left overs from creating some gorgeous Uniko poinsettia CHristmas cards earlier, so combined these pieces with Neat & Tangled sentiment stamped and embossed in Tinsel Silver, and added a strip of American Crafts red sparkle paper. Only another fifty or so to go LOL!

A Christmas FUSION...


Hope you get a chance to play along with FUSION this fortnight, in our last challenge for the year. So much fabulous inspiration from this gorgeous Christmas interior, and super versatile sketch!

I kept my card simple, taking inspiration from the white on white layering and Christmas candles. Layered this gorgeous Memory Box Christmas Candles diecut in white glitter paper, over a cardstock background, over vellum stamped in silver tinsel embossing powder using this gorgeous Verve sentiment.


Love to see how you are inspired by FUSION photo, sketch or both!
