Top 2 and 1 of 2011

Hi Stamping Friends!!

Well today's the day!  The day I reveal my two top favorite cards of 2011.  I'm sure you've been sitting on pins and needles all week just waiting to see what stamping goodness I have picked out.  ;)  Well the wait is over!!  May I have a drum roll please............

And my all-time favorite card from this past year, was also a crowd favorite.  It won a couple of online blog challenges.  So without further ado........

Ta-Da!!  I just love all the textures and soft colors on this card.  And it has just enough chic without being too shabby.  Funny thing about my Top Ten favorites from 2011 is that most of them were the shabby chic style.  Which is not my typical "go to" style.  I've always considered myself sort of a colorful, fun, simple kind of stamper.  But the cards I like best are the ones with lots of layers and textures and "stuff".  The kind that you only make one of.  :)

Well I continue to be a stamping maniac.  Yesterday I stamped another 18 cards.  I can't wait to start showing them to you on Monday.  But first I need to take pictures of them and upload them to my computer.  Bummer is, my computer monitor only shows blue and green tones at the moment.  Makes it really difficult to edit photos!!  Anyone have any idea why the color would go bad on a monitor?  I'm on my third one!!

Also, I created a Facebook Fan Page.  I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but if you like to hang around FB, search for Krystal's Cards - Stampin' Up and be my first fan!!  If I was really smart, I would have a button on my sidebar that would link you straight to my page, but I haven't figured that all out yet.  There's always a new techno adventure waiting around the corner!

Don't forget to take advantage of all the great Stampin' Up! clearance items for sale at my online store: KRYSTAL'S CARDS.  Some items are up to 80% off!!  Hurry and shop while supplies last!

Thanks for taking the time to hang out with me today!!

Happy New Year and

Happy Stamping!!
