My TAWS faves...
My beloved Distress Inks and Gelatos earned their keep this year. They made me feel like a real artist!
And, my favorite CAS designs from the year...
I'm linking these up to Catered Crop's Top 12 in 2012 Recipe Swap!
My expensive Copic collection (these intimidated me for a LONG time!) got lots of use this year. Thanks to Alison Spelman who shared Suzanne J Dean's tutorial videos with me this year. Both ladies are immensely talented and so generous to share their skills with others. And, designing for DYSU brought the world of digital stamps to my creative life, and I'm grateful for it! The first three cards in this section used digital stamps.
Thank you to all who've visited my blog, shared kind, supportive comments and inspired me along the way. I will be turning commenting off on my blog for 2013 except where required for blog hops, etc. I want cardmaking to be a creative release driven by my need to craft, not a craving for acceptance and approval...which I'll admit to being an addictive draw at times. I hope you understand :) Thank you yet again for visiting. I'm humbled that anyone chooses to stop by. Happy 2013!!!
Blessings,
Barb xx

These rock! Thanks for sharing your favorites! You are so talented!
You my dear are a master at the art of creativity and design. Your cards are totally stunning to a fault and I am so grateful that you have invested into my moments of creativity with the inspiration that you provide. Your talent and skills are extraordinary, but knowing you has a person really has been the biggest blessing of Barb Murphy the person. I love you and all that you do, your heart, your talent,and your faith. All of these of minstered to me so much this past year and without you I don't know if I would have made another blogging year. I am sorry for not always being there for you due to family and personal stuff, but know your in my heart & prayers and I am only a phone call away. It is funny that you mentioned about turing off the comments on your blog. I have been debating for a while now about the whole followers thing. I think that what you said about approval and acceptance is 100% true. To be accepted for who we are and the love & passion of the created project is what really matters. Thanks for sharing this, great to know that I am not the only one feeling this way. I have been meaning to be in touch but with family from away here for Christmas and a very sick child, and now the both of us sick it has been a tough Christmas . Lol. We are still here though and ready for a great year. Thanks for everything sweetie. You are one special gal and don't you ever forget it!
What a great selection! Happy New Year!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your favourites for the year Barb. It was a FAB having the opportunity to share a design team with you.
Wishing you a 2013 full of inspiration & creativity & looking forward to continuing to share the journey with you :)
Fabulous cards, so full of colour, and sharp design. I'd have to go with the Best Idea Ever as my top favourite - just brilliant! It's so lovely to see people's top picks - you get a real sense of them as a crafter! So glad I joined in...
