Looking Back at 2018, part 2

Ready for part 2 of some of my favorite projects of 2018?   This time I am limiting my choices to 2 per month. 

You know I love black and white DSP (Designer Series Paper).  Last April there was the Petal Passion DSP and it was the best!  Made this card for the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge.

I was a big fan of the Birthday Blooms stamp set which has since retired.  On the post I also listed some other posts featuring this stamp set.

In May a lot of the projects were focused around products that were retiring.  This card used the Petal Passion DSP.

This one featured the retiring colors Wisteria Wonder and Soft Sky.

In June we welcomed new colors!  Love the new purples, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape!

I know this one is similar to the one above but I had to pick this one.  It features the return of Poppy Parade.

August brought us the limited edition bundle, Blended Seasons and also some sneak peeks from the Holiday Catalog. The first sneak peek featuring the Beautiful Baubles bundle.

It was hard to choose which was my favorite Blended Season project.  I chose this one because I love to make little treat projects.

September brought the debut of the Holiday catalog!  Another Beautiful Baubles card in a non traditional color.
