A big shout out to the fabulous Latisha Yoast for putting this together!!!
This hop is going to be a little bit different, in the fact that every single person on the list below, is giving something away. All you need to do, is go to their blog, and leave a comment.
Really, really easy.
Now grab a cup of coffee, or tea, or maybe some hot chocolate, whatever your favorite is, and start hopping.
Here's to starting off the year 2013 in a fun way!
Amy Tsuruta ** {you're here}
Kim Hughes/Paper Smooches
I thought I'd do a run down on my 12 FAV cards that I designed in 2012...Here we go:
January
{This was for a Paper Smooches challenge, I love anything coffee oriented!}
February
{HA...I told you I love coffee cards...this set is ala Skipping Stones Designs}
March
{I gave this to my daughter on Girl's Day, a Japanese holiday, and she still has it in her room..now that's sayin' something}
April
{Fairy in a Jar, nothing else needs to be said}
May
{shades of EAD Designs...I MISS YOU!!!}
June
{the colors just make me happy}
July
{I made this when I was a Guest Designer for The Twinery}
Why yes, that is a coffee filter for the liner...
...and yes, of course it is a Starbucks card!
August
{of course I had to pick this one!}
September
{I love text-y paper...}
October
{my boy said that this was a piece of Art and promptly put it in his room!}
November
{I love being inspired by other designers...this was inspired by Karin Åkesdotter...so not my typical style but I love the results}
December
{a card I made specifically for a sweet boy named Sebastian}
Whew, kudos to you if you made it through all 12 cards....I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by.
I have a brand new "fight like a girl" set by A Muse Studio:

I was sent a duplicate set and when I called A Muse Studio they told me to just go ahead and keep it. Now how fabulous is that? I'm paying it forward...for one lucky duck. I will also include a bunch of stuff from my stash, don't worry, you won't be disappointed!
Please leave me a comment and let me know one of your crafty goals of 2013. The winner will be announced on Saturday, January 5th.
One of my 2013 crafty goals is have a project picked up for publication!
Now hippety-hop over to Jessie's blog!
Good Luck!

Thank you for participating in this blog hop! I took a look around your blog and I'm really enjoying it!
My crafty goal, well, I would say that I would be more confident in the direction that my instinct tells me to go in card making and scrapping.
I know the only way to do that is to sit down and do it lots. Perhaps my goal should be to set aside crafting time every week.
Happy New Year!!! I love all your cards, you have such a great and eclectic style that is surprising and refreshing. Thanks the chance to win (if I am eligible). Have a great 2013. Love, Jocelyn cuckootree@gmail.com

What a great year in review!! Hmm, one of my crafty goals this year is simply to find more time to create and blog at least once a week, if not twice.
As most other crafters probably desire, it would be TIME! I love my life, but stamping makes me so happy! It's therapy for me! Plus, I love to maybe give someone else comfort or a smile along the way. Thanks for the chance.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Your year in review cards are all awesome! I love the way you layer and pop things up for interest and use lots of fun embellishments like twine. So inspiring!
Thank you and my very best wishes for a happy and wonderful 2013! :)
