As I mentioned yesterday, I started my blog almost ten years ago, on Dec. 30, 2005.
What began as a place to share photos and thoughts has become such a big
part of my life, seeing as I post almost daily.
Here's one of the first photos I ever posted on my blog:
Jonah's expression in this photo kills me!
So, to celebrate TO THE FULL's 10 year anniversary,
I started a series of posts yesterday and will continue tomorrow.
Now, while I was mainly a scrapbooker when I started my blog,
I can't deny that the frequency of my posts greatly increased when
I started stamping and making cards.
So, today, I'm sharing my 10 favourite cards that I created in 2015:

ReplyDeleteWonderful cards, Leigh, my favorite is the bowl of oranges card, I adore the colors!! Congratulations on being on the RC team for 2016, and for your 10 year anniversary! I started out as a scrapbooker too, but that was before I started blogging.

I love your cards especially your "Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful" one. You have a wonderful knack for making simple yet amazing looking cards! I tend to over complicate my cards...I don't know when to stop adding embellishments. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
