Favourite Projects of 2019

I decided that today was a good day to look back over my favourite projects of 2019.  Once again I have managed to keep up my daily blog, helped tremendously this year by the over 200 projects completed as a design team member for Claritystamp.  I am so grateful that Barbara Gray asked me to join such a prestigious team.
This is my January favourite (see HERE for details).  It was also my first project to make it onto one of the Clarity sample boards that are used for shows.
For February I have chosen an Andy Warhol inspired project (see HERE), which went down very well at the launch of these Flower Fairies.
For March I chose a project made with more of Leonie's designs for Clarity (see HERE) and Yupo paper.
I haven't had as much time this year for my own art journaling so I like to create the odd art journal sample when it seems appropriate.  The new stamps which Leonie brought out in April were perfect for this page (see HERE).
May saw the 10th anniversary of WOYWW so I had to choose the celebratory post as my favourite (see HERE)!
I still find time to join in with the occasional tag challenge.  June saw the creation of my favourite tag in the whole year using the first Clarity NDC die of the year (see HERE).
For July, I chose some coasters which were originally bought as a gift when visiting one of our sons in Romania in February.  They needed revamping and this was the result (see HERE).  Our son and his girlfriend now live close by so we get to see them far more often.
I love working on projects for family and in August created this logo (with digital help from my sister-in-law) for the orchestra that my brother conducts in Canada (see HERE).  They had their first concert
with several other local community groups just before he came over for Christmas, which was a great success. 
For September I have chosen a project which I started at the Clarity retreat the previous month, using a technique shared by Barbara Gray (see HERE).  The retreats are always worth going to and we hope to make it back again in 2020.
Another first for October, the first sample which made it onto the VT (video tape) for the Clarity shows on Hochanda (see HERE).  It was made with stamps designed by the lovely Tina Cox.
For November I chose a sample which I made with stamps designed by Dee Fitzsimmons for Claritystamp.  These were her second set of 'friends' stamps for 2019 (see HERE).
And finally for 2019, I wish all my blog readers a Happy New Year with a card using stamps designed by the late Jayne Nestorenko (see HERE).  I hope I can continue to entertain you in the coming year!
