Happy New Year, my sweet friends! I pray you all have a blessed year of sparkling love and joy. :o) I was away for the holiday season to spend time with family and rest my healing arm, and am happy to be back to light crafting. :o)
Before I share my favorite creations from 2014 for a fun linky party, I have some sad news. Unfortunately, My Craft Spot is soon closing. :( Kimberly is the sweetest store owner I've ever had the privilege to know. Being on her Design Team has been a dream come true and I'm still stunned at its unexpected ending. I'm so thankful that Kimberly wanted me on her team and I will cherish every memory made... and will forever use her beautiful products.

One reason I'm putting both of these things in one post is because most of my favorite projects used My Craft Spot goodies. Being on her team was a highlight of my year and I think that was portrayed in my work for her... so I'm including my favorites in this post to fill it with the warm fuzzies Kimberly's products inspired. :o)
I've opted to put my selections in two categories: my five favorite cards and 3D projects. Click on the title to visit the project posts for details. :o)
My Favorite 3D Projects:
1. Sliding Recipe Box
2. Christmas Tussie Mussie
3. Double Sliding Lid Box
4. Easter Box
5. Birthday Wand Centerpiece
My Favorite Cards:
1. Christmas in the Heart
2. God's Timing
3. With Love
4. Sweet Sailboat
5. O Holy Night
