After my quiet year, I'm finishing off with a final flourish of a double-post day! I hope you'll be able to check out my Tag Friday watercolour gift tags for A Vintage Journey from earlier today, but right now I'm inviting you over to the PaperArtsy blog for a retrospective of my favourite projects from some of the inspiration topics on offer there throughout 2016.
The topics I've had a chance to catch up with after missing so much while away on my travels this year are Dangles/Beads/Charms, Making Marks, Autumn Leaves and Die Cuts. It was a lovely opportunity to see what the amazing designers and challenge participants have been creating. And there's some reflection on my creative year too - always an interesting thing to indulge in at this time of the changing year. I hope you'll be able to hop over and take a look, and that you'll enjoy the selection on offer.
For now, I'm going to wish you all a very Happy New Year, and I'll see you on the other side. Good luck for 2017, everybody. We can only hope...
Hope

And next year's words await another voice.

Loved seeing your picks of the topics you reviewed. Happy New Year - hope you get some more time in your own craft room in 2017!
You certainly picked some stunning pieces Alison!! I spent ages watching Dounia's video and now want to make a necklace like hers! I wish I had thought of Darcy's time machine, it is fabulous. I enjoyed reading your whole review so much!
