Year in Review 2018: my favorite projects from each month

Here we go again! seems like I just did last year's review and it's already time to do this year's. I enjoyed walking through my blog files and picking out my personal favorite project for each month. It was HARD!! But I chose just one, or this would be crazy long. Enjoy a quick "best of the best" tour during our 2018 Year in Review!

  1. Just found you a few months ago, so I enjoyed the months from the beginning! Love September, probably because I loved it before I owned it then hit wall and hated it thinking it was a limited use stamp. This card really makes me love it again. Tfs all your talent!

  3. Hi Lyssa, my favorite is January’s. Couldn’t wait to get that stamp set, but have been intimidated by it ever since, mainly because I’ve not had enough time to play with it. Definitely on my must list this year. Second is February’s chocolate heart. I hope you have instructions for this sweet (pun intended) card, lol. Third would have to be June’s. Love that Enjoy Life set so so much and your card is fabulously simple but super attractive! And the last I’ll mention is October’s – so elegant, I can’t leave it out. Lyssa, I love to see your cards, and your review was a wonderful gift. Thank you so much!
