Hello friends!
As 2016 is coming to the end, I thought it would be fun to look back on my stamping journey this past year. I picked my Top 10 favorites based on my own creative take- how I approached with new/tried and true techniques and how I used the new and old supplies. They are what stood out to me. You can simply click on the title and it will take you to the post (in case you miss seeing it in the past).

Last but certainly not the least, I am adding a bonus card. This Christmas card is one layer. But wow...the color impact is amazing, isn't it? It is my NEW personal favorite.
I hope you are not tired of seeing my stamping. 😁
If you like to see me around in 2017, please leave me a comment and let me know.
I will try my best to bring you my best work right here in this blog.
Thank you for your amazing support, comments, feedback and encouragement.

I just got back from a week-long cruise to the Caribbean last night. I had an amazing time with my family and the traveling was smooth. I am feeling truly blessed. 😎

I really enjoy your cards and watching your progress. And little tidbits about your family and travels are just icing on the cake. Please continue to post in 2017. I would miss you if you didn't.

what a wonderful collection of pretty cards! I'm especially fond of the kites with the plaid paper weaving - so cute! WB from what looks like a fun cruise and have a very happy new year in 2017!
Your cards are awesome, Virginia. You use amazing and varied techniques. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Hi Virginia,
Thanks for sharing your favorites! If I were to go through my Yes, Virginia Pinterest folder I wouldn't be able to narrow it down to 10! :) I'm always happy to see "Yes, Virginia" in my inbox in the mornings and I definitely want to see what you will create this year! Best wishes for a new year filled with health, happiness, love, and creativity!
All are so beautiful and well constructed.
Hello Virginia!! What a wonderful display of your colorful creations from this year! So fun to look through. Your bonus card is simply amazing!!! I'm not even sure how you created something like that. Better get a frame and put it somewhere, because you know you'll never be able to sent it to someone! Best wishes for a Happy New Year, my friend 😀
I think all your top choices for the year were indeed your best. Happy New Year!
What an amazing variety of lovely cards! I love how you don't have a particular style and use all sort of techniques.
Oh, please do continue with posting your work! You present such lovely ideas that are inspirational to all of us!
Love your work and love seeing a breakdown on here! Can not wait to see what 2017 brings you!!!
I LOVE your cards and your cardmaking abilities!! You have exposed me to new techniques, that I still have to try. I also love how you have explained new ways to stretch the products that we already have. I feel very lucky to be one of your blog followers as you have grown this year and started making more YouTube videos!!! You are the best!!!!
Your stamping and creating are fantasting. Amazed me. Love your tutorial. Wish you all the best in 2017.
