Five Favourite Cards for 2015 ... and Farewell to HLS






Happy Birthday Bonnie






Hi Everyone.  I'm joining in again over at Debby's Blog. A week ago she posted a challenge to share our five favourite Christmas cards for 2015.  Now it's time to share our five favourite cards of the year.

These are my favourites and you'll see there's a mix of all the different techniques that I love so dearly.  Interesting how that worked out.  There's stenciling, die-cutting and shaping, sponging, Inka Gold, and watercolouring. :)

Hope you enjoy the look back on 2015. :)

On to other news.  Today I have resigned from the HLS Design Teams.  I have really enjoyed being on the teams during the past year and have made some new friends along the way.  It's time to move on.  Not sure what the future holds, but I know new adventures will come my way.

Thank you!

Love your top 5, Loll. Was it easy or difficult for you to choose, I wonder?
Happy New Year :)

Nstiz said...

Sorry to see you are leaving HLS but it will be interesting to see what you do! Glad we still get to see your fabulous cards though. Don't know how you only picked 5 favorites. I know I could not have narrowed down which 5 of yours I like best because I love them all!

Loll,
Love all your cards, and thanks for Remembering me, I wanted to send cards to all my friends and relatives, but I was just too ill and the arthritis in my dominant right hand was so bad, I did not send a single card, and it was also very painful to type, so I just wanted to wish you a very belated Happy Holiday now, and very Happy New Year.
I hope to be able to get back to crafting soon, and making my cards, I miss it so.

So sending you big hugs,
And talk to you soon,
Love
Donna

Lovely to see each of these fabulous cards in one post, Loll ... what a wonderful selection! You and your talent will be missed at HLS! Hugs, Anita :)

I do not understand how he could choose only 5 cards? Each of your card is unusual and very beautiful, if I had to choose, I'd never taken a final choice, because for me it is impossible.
Hugs,
BożenA

Your favorites = my favorites, Lolly! Mmm, and the 45 others I've pinned besides these!! You will be missed at HLS!! I look forward to where you go from here! Hugs, Dolly

I LOVE all 5 of your favorite cards Loll....and many, many more my friend! A joy to see your cards altogether :-) HLS will be missing your talents my friend, but I am sure you were very, very helpful in getting Kylie's company organized.

Can't wait to see what your creative future holds. Very exciting! With much Love, Nancy

Ingrid said...

Well you KNOW I'm a huge admirer of all the work you do. I have ALWAYS loved that bird card and while I love them all, the butterfly is so gorgeous. I've loved working together and will miss your talents on the DT. But am excited to see what creative paths you head down!

Much love - Ingrid :)

Aileen said...

Loll, beautiful collection, like many of the others I wonder how you could narrow your choice to five. It has been fantastic having you doing cards for hls cant image not getting regular posts so you better either increase your own posts or get on board another DT team. Says The BOSS yeah I know......

Di said...

Wonderful picks Loll! Maybe you can come and play a little more often in the snippets playground if you're ever at a loose end. We always love to see your work!

Hugs

Di xx

Bonnie said...

I don't think I could have narrowed it down to 5 favorites, Loll! My friends and I are still enjoying my birthday card!

My Card Attic: Hazel said...

LOVE your top five choices Loll my friend! It must have been tough choosing just five out of all the fabulous designs you have created throughout the year of 2015! Can't wait to see what inspirational cards you come up with during 2016! You will be missed at HLS ... "I won't say goodbye, just au revoir" my dear friend! Thanks for everything, especially your friendship! Hazel xx
