Top Thirteen of 2013

I am joining in with the Operation Write Home Top Thirteen of 2013 blog hop today!

It's always fun to put together this post, as it makes me look at every single post that I made in 2013.  I'm very proud of my efforts this year, I've noticed a few changes in my style... most notably a lot more colouring, and I feel as if my skills have improved there.  I was thrilled to make the Art Impressions design team in June, and have had a blast representing their fabulous stamps.  I've had some pretty amazing opportunities this year - most of which I can't talk about just yet!  But they've called on every bit of creativity I could muster, and certainly challenged me, for which I'm thankful.  I appreciate all of you who visit and leave comments (or just lurk!), as I really enjoy sharing my work.  Best wishes to all of you for a fabulous, crafty 2014 :o)

Here are my monthly picks in reverse order... and I'm happy to say that it wasn't always easy to choose!

Now, since this is a top 13 blog hop, I'm including a favourite that didn't make the cut in my monthly picks.  Back in June we did an Operation Write Home blog hop to introduce the new Art Impressions OWH sets, and I really love the two cards that I made with "Many Hats":

Thanks for looking!
