  15. What a great collection of cards. It's fun to see them all together. You really make such great use out of patterned papers. It's very inspiring. I've been off the grid for a few days, but I do recall seeing that you lost quite a bit of weight this year, and a big win at Mama Elephant--so congrats for those big accomplishments. Happy New Year.

  16. Leigh, each and everyone of your cards is beautiful! It really is hard to choose just one as a favorite, so I have 2, July, those birthday invitations are just too cute and then December, that little village is just so sweet, love it.
    Happy New Year!

  22. Leigh, I love how you use patterned paper! You picked many of my favourites of yours here, but I think my biggest favourite from you in 2012 was your October flowery card. It's still one of my all-time favourite cards by ANYONE. :-)
