bloggiversary thanks (SCS)

Time flies when you're having fun!

Took a while for me to take the plunge and start a blog, but it's been a great year.  To those of you who  have visited my cards and made me smile with your comments, "Vielen Dank".  What a wonderful world of cardmaking-loving-blogging-creative-souls there are out there in blogland!

I appreciate your visits - followers and others.  It's nice to know that you like my work now and again, and that I may in some way inspire you to make a card that will make someone happy.  That makes me happy!
This is for all of you.  (And for the Love Fest 2013K Challenge to use a die at SCS which is sponsored by The Greeting Farm. C'mon - you didn't really expect a card without a challenge, did ya?)


And I've put together a little something for you if you're interested. Some metallic peel offs, a Penny Black cling stamp, some Claudine Hellmuth foam stamps and a Shell pigment ink pad from Amuse.


I recently had to pick my favorite card of mine.  It wasn't an easy task.   I'd love to see your favorite card of yours.  Maybe you know immediately or you might have to give it a day's thought, but please leave a link to it in my comments section.  I'll pick my favorite (yeah, totally subjective here folks) and announce a winner on March 20th.  So raise your glass with me... Here's to another good year of happy cardmaking.  Prost! :)



Supplies thanks:
Paper: kraft, white CS American Crafts
Stamps: Hero Arts
Ink :Distress Ink, pigment inks Aladine
Tools: die Memory Box, sewing machine
Other:

Happy, happy bloggoversary, Maria, and many, many more!! I'm so delighted that you joined the cardmaking blogging community and I've found you and made a new friend! No thank you from me, for the yummy goodies, as I have more now than is decent. Thank you, though, for the fantastic thank you card!!

Happy Blog anniversary!!! your creativity and bright cards are always fascinating, edgy and I think you really do have a style. Haven't named it yet...got to give me a minute with that, but I am happy to have gotten to know you and your work!

Happy anniversary, Maria!! You are such a pro, I never would have thought it had only been a year. I love this card of yours with its colorful sentiment and fun stitching.

Here's one of my favorites. I chose to share it here today because it reminds me of you. I created it for a challenge where we were instructed to 'Think Outside The Box". Yeah... I went literal. ;) http://www.flickr.com/photos/madcatink/7749269014/in/photostream/ (No need to include me in the drawing as I recently won one of your prizes.)

Congrats, Maria!!! I don't comment as often as I should, but I do love your blog! I don't think I follow anyone who tries the variety of techniques that you do! And I find that VERY inspiring!!! How about if I share a few of my favorites of YOURS??? I have 3...and this was NOT an easy task!!!...the 'Winter Wonders' card in January with the big holly leaves,...the little bitty black bird silhouette in front of your 'water color' 'window' in October, and the 'Bat on a Wire' in October...so many other great ones...I almost hate to narrow it to 3!!!!;) I don't need any goodies...just wanted to say how much I appreciate your inspiration! Keep up the great work!

Congratulations, Maria, on your blogaversary! Has it only been a year? I must have been one of your first followers because I'm sure I've been visiting you that long. ;-)

Cheryl said...

Hi Maria! I'm your newest follower! I found you through the SCS LoveFest and I love your cards! I like how you add little bitty touches that make your cards fabulous, like the stitching through the letters on this one. I stitch on my cards, too, but never think of doing things like this. I will now, though. ;) It's hard for me to choose a fav of my cards, but I guess one of my most recent favs is this card (made for the LoveFest, too): http://inkup.blogspot.com/2013/02/red-roses.html. Hope you'll visit my blog sometime! ~Hugs!

As always I'm a fan of every card you make. And this one is a fave of mine too! It's beautiful.

Here's a fave of my own cards...only because it's not the kind of card I can normally make and this one turned out like I saw it in my fool head ;) lol

Congratulations on your blogsversary, and being feature on MFW! I enjoyed your interview, and you made me smile with your 'fun three sentence self portrait'! Your CAS 'thank you' card is gorgeous, love the colourful letters.

Happy Bloggiversary, and thanks for the inspiration (particularly the "show me" bird card October which I cased!). Nt favourite card at the moment is http://shirley-bee.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/bucking-trend.html because it was something completely different for me, pushing the boundaries.

Happy anniversary on your blog life. I came to your blog from Moxie Fab World and looked through all the cards you created from the beginning up to this day. It's amazing to see how you executed your creativity on your cards and how your style has evolved.

I just started my blog journey this year, January, so do not have many cards to take a look at. But I would like to share one card that becomes my favorite:
