I hope you have as much fun looking at a few of my favorites as I did making them:-) I want to thank you all so much for visiting me through out 2011 and hope you continue to stop by in 2012:-) Big things are in my future and a kick off in a week will be my 3rd Blog Anniversary with blog candy from me!

The first one up is a combination of Tanners Halloween Town sentiment with this adorable image from All That Scraps called Hansel from the CC Designs swiss pixie collection
Next up is a tag I made using Christmas, Christmas stamp sets sentiment, on the tag with a Mo Manning image called Sticky!

Let's just say I need a bit more work on rolling them! The rest of the flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts flowers
Here you go the whole card, I used the stampin up border punch that is my favorite, hehe and the papers are MME Quite Contrary for the Pink scrap and the black & white dots is just a random piece from the craft store, I think that's about it and hope you go over and join all of us for some fun coloring:-) Other Challenges I would like to enter this in are: If the shoe fits, scrap it: use up old stash
