What with all the singing tags and ringing cards - I hope you haven't missed any of them! - it's almost New Year's Eve... a time of endings, changes and renewals.
As you'll have guessed from the fantastic influx of international talent, it's time for a changing of the guard at Our Creative Corner, and the Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas challenge in December was sadly my last hurrah. If you haven't seen who's come to play in the Corner yet, then check out this post.
I couldn't just disappear without a word so I thought I'd share just a few of my Our Creative Corner creations as a thank you and farewell to Laura and the rest of the team, as well as to all of you who've played along and made Our Corner so Creative!
I won't send roses...
So here are some of my personal favourites inspired by the stimulating challenges set by my team-mates throughout the 20 months, and even one that was a Sponsor Spotlight creation.
Click on the captions if you'd like to revisit any of them, and clicking on the Our Creative Corner label at the foot of the post means you can catch every single one of my OCC projects!
Blissful Baubles
As you can see! I've had a very creative time in the Corner over the last year and a half or more, but lovely and unexpected opportunities which keep arising in my other life mean I need to create a bit more space and time in my world.
I'll miss my amazing team-mates, and I'm sorry not to get to play alongside the new wonderful new designers. I know that the New Year is going to be really exciting over at Our Creative Corner. But from me it's farewell, and thank you, and let's not let auld acquaintance be forgot!
Let your heart fly...
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

It's sad to see this departure Alison as I associate you very much with the heart of OCC - you will surely be missed. Wonderful to revisit some of your amazing creations, they are always a joy to behold and explore. I hope that we see as many of, or even more of, your creativity in 2015 and that it is a hugely fulfilling year for you both professionally and personally. Warm hugs, Nicola x

I've enjoyed everyone of your projects and wish you a Very Happy and Blessed New Year!
Hugs, Cathy-Lynn
You are so very much associated with OCC so I imagine you do feel a sense of sadness at leaving then again, we know that you are in such demand by DTs that I imagine it will be only a matter of moments when you will no doubt be making an announcement of a new DT role. Your talent is immense and it is always a joy to visit your Blog and view your beautiful art. I also want to say Thank You for your friendship, support and encouragement.
Alison, here's to 2015 being a year of new adventures for you.
Wishes
Lynne
It is so emotional to have to leave DT positions but also moving into new things is rewarding as well, it is the friends you meet along the way that are most enjoyable. You picked some fabulous creations for me to enjoy again. I just adore your work!! You have a wonderful style that I love. Have a Happy New Year!!
Hugs Kelly
Oh no hate to see you go, but I know that where ever you go next we will see lots of gorgeous creations as always. I really loved every piece you did on the OCC blog and it was fitting leaving with the last challenge of small things as you do ATC's so well. I love the projects you have shown us, they are definitely in my favourite lists. Don't forget, when your ready I still have the ATC kept for you. Kezzy :-) xxx
