Year in Review Part One

 So although I primarily post on Instagram, you just can't type as much as a blog! So here is my 2023 favorite cards from each month since I started Instagram. Plus a couple of bonus not put on my Instagram Review!

June: So this is from my Spring Crop and Create with Scrapbook and Cards. Well at least the background is! It's watercolor markers from Colorista. We made backgrounds and I turned mine into a mermaid shaker with Hero Arts dies and the seaweed is Memento. I feel like the coloring on my mermaid tail is just gorgeous. The card got a little warped in the mail and my computer hard drive crashed causing me to lose about a month of cards that weren't backed up. I was lucky I got a photo of this one!! 

July: Another magazine I follow is Creative Scrapbooker, this card was not only my favorite it was nominated for their Card of the Month challenge. It didn't make it past round one, but I just LOVE the colors it's so cheerful and bright. Probably one of my favorite card makes ever. More Hero Arts stamps too, this one is their dragon set. They are just so cute!

August: This card is a little more sentimental. My cousin passed away from breast cancer this year. I had just started to really get to know her. She is an amazing artist and she was great with watercolors. I was in a card challenge for Sympathy and Thinking of You and chose watercolors in honor of her. She loved cute and fun things like me and I think she would have loved this card. 

Stay tuned for three more tomorrow! Then the day after will be the last December and bonus favorites I didn't talk about on IG.
