2011 - a year in review

2011 have come to it's end and 2012 have started. I've had a very creative year - 139 layouts, 37 cards, 12 mini albums (13 if I caount the latest, which I completed but haven't poste yet), 7 other projects and 5 step-by-step tutorials.

I love looking back and see what I've made - it gives me an opporuity to see how my work evolved, what do I like more, what I'd like to change.

I think one of the most important changes that happened to my scrapping was making more and more CAS designs (layouts and cards).

Anyway, I tried to narrow my choises, and it was quite hard... LOL So here are my 2011 fav works:

January:

'Snow all over my city' - love the subtle colors and the warm feeling in contrast of the snowy theme.

'Me & My Friend' - love the naive look, with the CAS design.

'A day at the zoo' exploding box - love, love, love this kind of projects, and I've made a tutorial how to make it (check 'my tutorial' page).

Blue sea, white mountain' mini album - love the grungy look, the use of corrugated cardboard and paint.

February:

'We'll allways have Paris' mini album - love the vintage design, the embellies, and it is dear to me cause I've lost all the photos from that fab vacation, so I'm so happy I have this mini album to capture those moments.
