Today I thought I would look back at my favourite projects for 2018. I have done so many ...I am not quite sure how I found the time lol!

I am going to go through each month and chose just one ...well maybe a few more! I hope I include your favourites as well, if not then please let me know what you liked the most as I would love to hear from you :-)

January 2018


So every new year brings a new catalogue and Sale-A-Bration and this first project I have chosen featured the Free DSP Bubble and Fizz which I made a huge gift box for a lovely gin glass and gin miniature. I love gin!

February 2018


I had a hard job choosing which I liked best in this month but decided on my 6"x6" paper storage as I actually need to make another one with the new catalogue being out! I also make a matching ribbon share holder and I also need to make another one of these as well!

March 2018


In March I did a very popular 6"x6" One Sheet Wonder. I really enjoyed this project and after I made a gift box for it and gave to my Mother-in-law for Mothers Day :-)

April 2018


I loved making this card, think it is quite a lovely way to acknowledge when a friend is going though some hard times,

May 2018


I think this was one of my favourite projects of the year. I love this paper and I love this Mini Album.

June 2018


Oh I did love making this project as it was for my eldest son who bought his first house this year. How exciting and I wanted to make him a special card that turned into this!

July 2018


July was when I took part in my first Pootlers video hop, it was amazing the amount of views I got for this project on YouTube in the first day. I was away in Ireland that week end and would click on through the weekend and just couldn't believe it! Such fun :-)

August 2018


Oh I do love this project, and I really loved helping my niece make one and making a simpler version with William, do you remember my crafting with William video? Such a brilliant little crafter. Anyway I am sharing this one as I did promise a part 3 and have not done it but it is on my to do list!

September 2018


I loved making this project with the Tags and Tidings, I was showing that the die can be used for other stamps. Loved this bundle and sadly you only have a few days left to purchase it as it is retiring on the 2nd of January.

I enjoyed making this last project in my look back at 2018, it was so much fun to do, this paper is so beautiful, I am really sad it is retiring.
