Here are just a few of my favorite projects from 2012. I hope you will enjoy this 2012 tour!

Summer Smooch Birthday – I created the background in My Digital Studio!

Easter Bunny Punch-Out – Love the bunny topper!

Kentucky Derby Hat card, with detail pictures, and hat tutorial – I had so much fun with these little hats!!

Day On The Lake With Lovely As A Tree – I love a great brayered scene!

Reason to Smile Butterfly Art Card – Definitely a favorite project, love the big bold artsy butterfly!

Praying for You – I love the soft serenity of the flowers and colors, especially as my heart is broken by the latest Sandy Hook tragedy in Connecticut.

Speedy Recovery Card – fussier than my usually preferences, but this was fun!

Keep Calm & Eat a Cupcake Birthday Card – originally designed by my sister I changed out the greeting and absolutely love that bold sentiment with the detailed frame!

Owl Occasions Birthday Wish – I had a ball creating this whimsical number!

I have a ton of favorite Halloween and Christmas projects, but those are so recent I thought maybe you would enjoy seeing some of my favorites of the older projects.

HERE’S TO 2012! So excited for the great possibilities in 2013! I hope you will join me by subscribing to my newsletter , my blog updates and ‘liking’ my facebook page.

Praying For You

I can’t hardly watch the news this week because of the reports of the movie massacre in Colorado. It just makes me so sad! I just keep thinking of all the families (including the family of the suspect) that are hurting deeply because of this senseless violence.

I thought about them as I made this card last night.

Five years ago I started blogging on a blog I called creative distraction. I called it creative distraction because it was a distraction from my pain of losing my two youngest children in a car accident in the spring of that year. So seeing the suffering is very real to me. My thoughts and prayers are truly with these families.

So no long explanation today. No card recipe. Just prayers for the many who are suffering.

Please forgive me for being so personal.

God Bless, Julie
