2010 Favorites

Here's to wishing you all of the best in the new year!
I had a fantastic little bread and ready to get back in the swing of things. I wanted to join in on the fun by posting ten of my favorite cards from this past year. Wow, what a ride The Bald Dragonfly has had in 2010 and I hope this year will be just as much fun! Thank you for joining me, and for all your support this  past year.

The Story of the Butterfly: My first go at combining colors that "scared" me.

Thunderstorms: The card that started the journey to the top 10 of the 2010 Gallery Idol competition. It also used my favorite stamp set from my favorite stamp company, Practicing Creativity Designs, which I became a design team member and stamp designer for! 

Anne Taintor Inspired: So not like me to design a card like this. But so true to us all.

 Sweet Baby Girl: Start of my grid fascination.

 Bluebirds: The meaning of this card will always hold a special place in my heart. Also, I am now a design team member of TiffanyDoodles!

 Coveted Blankets: Love the simplicity and bold colors of this card. It is just "me". Additionally, I became a member of the Schlosser Design Team this year.


 Tiled Sympathy: Tried out a few new techniques and fell in love with it.

 A Little Bit of Boo: Clean and Simple. Sigh. My favorite style.

 The Manger: The symbolism in this card rocks (to me, anyway).

 Winter Blooms: Yay! A circle card!


The Practicing Creativity Designs January Release starts in just a few days! And, the new Tiffany Doodles Store will be up tomorrow!
