Top 10 Cards of 2012
Happy 2013! May you have a wonderful year ahead and spread some happiness by crafting for others.
Today Operation Write Home challenged us card makers to post the cards we’ve made over the last year that we feel are our Top 10 of the year. Mine represent trying new techniques or styles as well as just plum liking them.
Do you have a crafty goal for the year? Mine is to reach a total of 3,000 cards donated to Operation Write Home, to complete the self-paced online classes in which I am enrolled, to complete a beautiful Project Life 2013 album, to master machine embroidery and most of all–to not let crafting (or checking out endless inspiration on Pinterest) take the place of things and people who are more important in my life. Balance.
One of the areas that I most want to be more disciplined about is my daily Bible reading. I do well with my before work routine, but tank on the weekends/vacation days. To help me be accountable, I selected a new plan that fits my interests best, printed it and framed it. (There are several to choose from here.) Now I can use my Vis-a-Vis wet erase pen to check off my daily reading and easily see how I am doing.

Happy New Year Yolanda. You have a gorgeous collections of card from last year.
As always, you’ve shared a wonderful array of OWH cards today! I’ve always loved the kids cards the best! Happy New Year!
Yolanda,
First of all, thanks for all you do for OWH.
What a great group of cards! I’m with Carol — I especially love your kid cards. Looks like I’m going to have to get some of those googly eyes.
TFS!!!
Your cards are always a pleasure to look at! I am especially fond of the clown and the hand colored flowers are amazing!
Great cards & inspiration Yolanda. I always come here on Wednesdays and am always loving what your talent produces and your thoughts as well.
Hummer Hugs,

Awesome cards and such wonderful goals! I agree that the finding the “balance” thing is one to work for. I could stay in my craft studio, without talking to a soul, for hours. I think the thin, scrappy-strips card is my fave of these. Happy New Year!
These are some of your best, Yolanda, although I don’t know how you ever chose from all your gorgeous 2012 cards! I just love that little horsey with his hooves. One of my best memories of 2012–having lunch with you and Rich (and shopping at the Paper Source). So glad to know you and share all the fun of OWH with you. Happy New Year!
Fantastic cards! I love seeing what you create.each week. I want to have that “balance” in my life too. Happy New Year!
What a bunch of fun cards Yolanda, wow your goal of 3000 cards is fabulous!
I loved hearing about your goals, I like your bible reading check list too, very cool =)
The project life journal sounds very interesting and fun too!
Happy New Year my friend!
Hi Yolanda, I love your cards, especially the little horsey with the cute hooves and bandanna and your card with the strips and stitching. Beautiful DP choices. One of my best memories of 2012 is meeting you and Rich! I look forward to enjoying your creativity and talents in 2013! Happy New Year!

I tend to have a difficult time using bright colors, but you make them sing in your work. Keep up the fantastic work you’ve been doing for OWH – both for the organization itself, and in your card donations.
Happy New Year!! I am slow to finish getting around to see all the cards! I love yours, especially those owls
3000 cards! That is truly amazing!!
