2012 Faves :)

Good morning everyone and I hope you are enjoying the last few days of 2012!  How was your Christmas? Ours was really nice, very relaxing and Zachary had a great time playing with all his toys.  I really can't believe how fast this year has flown by, I have heard the saying that time goes faster as you get older...gotta be true.

I thought I would share some of my fave layouts from this past year with you all.  I feel like my style has changed SO much in the past few years and I hope it continues to improve while still staying true to who I am...

Here are my faves from 2012-and why I like each one...

 love the star burst effect and random papers...
 love the stamping...
 love the photos..
 love Pebbles fun and bright colors...
 a card using Pebbles fun papers...
 Love how sweet my girlie looks in these photos...
 Dear Lizzy was perfect for this page...
 Love this photo of my sweets, so darn cute when she was little...
 Love a grid design...
 Love how this was a happy accident...made a bunch of tags and didn't know what to do with them, then Analise suggested putting them on a layout to showcase them, and it's one of my fave layouts ever...
 Who doesn't love butterflies? Especially on baby faces!
 Echo Park is always perfect :) what more can I say?
 Love this photo and the colors...October Afternoon is sooo good with the colors...
 Love the one large photo, I need to do this more...
And lastly, love the light colors in contrast with the photos, another of my fave pages ever! and the fact that Ben let me take his photo! lol...that does not happen often!

I hope each and every one of you has a wonderful 2013 and I hope all your dreams come true, scrappy and otherwise!! I want to thank you all for your visits and your always lovely comments!  I truly treasure all my scrappy friendships, I think the world of online scrapping is so amazing and that scrappers are the nicest people I have ever known! Happy New Year! :)))
