Top 13 of 2013 - OWH Bloghop


This hop is to show our top 13 cards that we have made in the past year.  This is always a fun challenge and helps remind us of all the inspiration during the year.  I decided to choose my favorite cards.  Others may like different cards better, but I'm picking them and these are the ones I like best.  They aren't in any order, except that I went through my blog chronologically to choose them.

 



 



















This process of choosing my favorite cards tells a little of what I like to make.   I prefer cards with stamping and without much patterned papers. I tend to like clean and simple cards. I don't enjoy coloring and don't do much of it. 
I like cards with texture, so use a lot of embossing.

 It will be interesting to what kind of cards others chose for this hop. Check them out on the Stars & Stamps blog.
