Following from the Fave 5 Christmas Cards as always there is Debby's Fave 5 of the Year. If I thought choosing 5 from Christmas was bad choosing 5 from the year has been worse!! But here they are (and there's a special message from me to you all at the end of the post).
Am also joing Mynn over at 'On a Stampage'.
Am also joing Mynn over at 'On a Stampage'.
First up had to be this baby card (original post here)
- am not a 'baby' person really but do like frilly and fancy (sometimes LOL) so
when I was asked to make a card for a special arrival I turned to
Pinterest (again!) for some inspiration and this was the result
Next is another fussy one! I love this sentiment - think it's so true- original post here 
Ok - so this one isn't a card - but it does rank amongst my faves so have included it! - original post here
A 'man' card - unusual for one to be amongst my faves - cos let's face it, we all hate making them! - original post here
I have this year made quite a few CAS cards - out in blogland many have perfected this art of CUSP ('Completely Understated and Strikingly Perfect'!!) and I have become an avid follower of several blogs who make these gorgeous cards. Here is a 'case' from one - original post here
So that's it - another year has gone past. I hope 2014 has been good to you but if it hasn't may 2015 be better. For me it has largely been a good one, some lows but many highs.
Sad today as it would have been my darling Mum's birthday - I miss her every single day and it's particularly hard when you can't share the 'highs' - maybe that's why the sentiment on the second card means so much to me - it IS the little things (like sharing a cup of tea with your Mum) that make life so big.
Thank you for visiting me this year and I wish you all a 2015 filled with the 'little things'. xxx

Your cards and tag are very beautiful! I can see why these are your favourites! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you! What fab work - and thank you for the comment you left me :)
5 superb and very beautiful creations, Viv! All wonderfully crafted. Love that you can produce both 'fussy' and CAS cards with equal beauty and skill! I can really empathise about missing your Mum. It is 14 years since I lost mine, and I still miss her, but it does get easier. Hope 2015 brings lots of good things your way x

These are all wonderful makes Viv but for me that gorgeous baby card stands out as it is just so pretty, and I do love the way you use lovely,y bits of lace on your cards, and you are so right with that sentiment. I miss my Mum too and I wish you a new year filled with lots and lots of uplifting moments! xx
A great selection of cards and projects from the past year. Love them all but I really like the baby card. I find CAS style so difficult to do so I avoid doing it, but this year I am going to concentrate on perfecting that.
Hope you have a Happy and Healthy New Year.

All brilliant cards, the baby one is stunning and love the vibrant colours of the last one. 35 years since I lost my Mum and I still think lots of things that I wish she was still here to see.
Happy New Year.

I love each and every one of these, Viv! That baby card with shoes is the most adorable card, you did a great job decorating with flowers and ribbon too.
And the vintage tag? Amazing! I do struggle with tags myself.
Happy New Year!
Stunning selection Viv, that baby card is so adorable and your tag is absolutely gorgeous.
Wishing you a Very Happy New Year and looking forward to seeing more of your fabulous makes in 2015.

Love your eye for details on all these gorgeous projects!! The way you use embellishments is truly inspiring!! You seem to have a knack for adding just the right ones and in just the right places!! Wow, to me that is a gift since I do not seem to be able to make embellishments not look awkward!! Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us!!
