Top Favorites of 2011

I'm joining in the fun and reviewing some of my favorite projects from last year.  "Last year" - can't believe we are already saying that.  Since this is going to be a heavy-photo blogpost, I'll keep the words to a minimum.  I decided to select favorite cards from each month this time. 

My Crafty Resolutions:
-As I was looking over my favorites, I noticed that many of them were from PTI's Make It Monday series, where I learned new techniques to try.  My goal is to keep up with those this year (crossing my fingers that PTI continues these weekly challenges!)

-I also noticed that I used bright colors and patterned paper on several of my favorites.  I need to remember that as I sit down to create. 

-I did get published this year!  You can see that card at the bottom of this post.  Hoping I can get published more in this new year. 

-I have several layouts that I submitted to some sketch challenges.  I loved my layouts and need to get back into my scrapbooking.  You can see many of my pages if you click HERE.
