Favourite Five Cards of 2013

Happy New Year! 
I hope that 2014 treats you all well! :0)

I thought I'd start this year by playing along with the lovely Debby, and show you my favourite five cards of last year:

Most of them seem to be CAS in style...I made plenty of non-CAS cards too...but it was the CAS ones that leapt out at me as I went through last year's cards. As with my Favourite Christmas Cards, I've linked all of the photos to the original blog posts so that you can click through for all the info should you want.

The first one uses one of my favourite Penny Black stamps ('Bunny Friends')...I cut them out of their flower pots on this one...I love that this stamp is so versatile!

I had lots of fun making the second of my choices...I don't like ice cream, but this card still appeals to me!

The next card was also a bit of an experiment...and I love how it turned out!

My final CAS card is similar to one of my favourite Christmas cards...love the watercolour effect background...it's a Christmas stamp ('Snow Dust') but I masked off the snow before stamping.

And I had to include a non-CAS cute card somewhere in the mix...this one is quite recent (from last week in fact!)...but I just love this cute chappie...and the bright colours.

I'm sneaking in a cheeky sixth creation...I think that this nappy cake that I made for a friend is my favourite thing I've made this year...it was a labour of love, but it was worth it as my friend loved it so much that she didn't dismantle it for a couple of months after her daughter was born!

    These are all wonderful, but the one with the tree really steals my heart. So beautiful and so full of spring!

    What a beautiful selection of cards and the Nappy Cake is 'WOW'. No wonder your friend didn't dismantle it for so long!

    Really, really love the icecream card - what a fantastic idea - and looks yummy enough to eat LOL!

    What a great grouping of cards! I like them all but that one with the bunnies is probably my favourite... or at least until I look at the next one, and the next one....
    You did a fabulous job on the gift for your friend, that was so cute and no wonder she didn't want to take it apart.
