Hey Nancy, congrats on your first blogaversary! You've done a lot of great cards over that time and it was hard to come up with one fave but I think I will pick the acetate card you recently posted. I love some of the different items you have used on your cards - things you don't normally think of putting on a card! Thanks for the inspiration and keep it up.
ReplyDeleteJeanette Y.
Nancy, I just found your blog less than a month ago, so I haven't seen too much, nor have I had time to check out your archives. BUT, I have to say by far, your GROOVY WASABI totally won me over. I loved the color combo, layout and I always love to see a hint of black, although I never seem to do it! SO, that is my fave, SO FAR... Congrats on your Anniversary! nicole a.
ReplyDeleteCongrtulations, WOW one year, that is fantastic. Love all your work, that is why I stalk your blog but would have to say the Wedding gate fold card you did in June. Love the embossing and cute stamp.
ReplyDeleteI will have to say the acetate card that you recently posted!!! Your creations are always beautiful and I love some of the different ideas that you come up with! Happy Anniversary! hehe!!
ReplyDeleteI just went through your whole blog and I am taken with the edding card from June 11th. I love basic white.....so sharp and crisp looking. The image is just darling.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good ork.......I always enjoy seeing your ork from day to day.
I really must clean out the cracker crumbs under the letter W on this keyboard! grrrrrrrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog and seeing all your great creations! My fave's from the past have been 'He Loves Me' and Mother's Day #1. Thanks for letting us play for such great candy.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first year celebration. I love all your cards esp. the Baroque Motifs back in July. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
ReplyDeleteNancy - Congratulations on the 1-year anniversary! I love coming to your blog each day - I love the projects you share and love it that I know you. My favorite post for the last year is your very first one. I enjoyed that post because it is so true - I feel the same way a lot of the time. It is hard to just 'play' - I always want every card/page to turn out perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI also like Flashback Fridays - it is interesting to see how things have changed! Thanks for the constant inspiration.
I don't specifically have a fav, because there are so many that I am drawn too, but I have to say I really like the Flashback Friday's. Thanks for sharing so much, and congrats on the anniversary.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I liked your paper clips project - it's what inspired me to try it.
ReplyDeleteNancy - Congratulations on your Blogaversary!!!! I was going back over your blog and I saw this picture you posted http://nancyscreativemess.blogspot.com/2007/04/happy-easter.html - it is so cute.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary to you!! You're the one who inspired (coaxed) me to start blogging and I'm so glad you did!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will keep it up for a long time to come! Even though I have many many blogs that I look at yours is definitely still one of my top favorites!
Thanks for offering such a nice blog candy! I hope I win. :-)
Cindy
Woo hoo...yummy candy! Happy blog-a-versary! (I have to look this word up in the urban dictionary and see if it is there!) Also, thanks for the invite to your crafting space...I so want your scissors, cutter, punches, etc. etc. now! It was tons of fun!
ReplyDeleteHey! Congrats on your anniversary! I visit every day! My favorite card, so far, is the acetate one. But I like the last one you posted too, the flashback one!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on one year. My favorite are the card tins you made at Christmas last year. I wish you continued success on your blog. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy!
ReplyDeleteHappy One Year Blogaversary!
Woo-Hoo!!!
Thank you for offering a marvelous prize for us to celebrate with you :)
My favorite card is the Tent Topper that you made for a friend (back in June). It is so simple, but so tastefully done...now that's one I might can handle :)
Ooops I forgot to mention what my favorite card is!
ReplyDeleteHere it is...

Happy blogaversary! I had a blast last night - thanks for organizing our get-together. My favorite thing on your blog was when you started your Flashback Friday - it was great to see how your style changed and evolved.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary Nancy! I read your blog daily and have found everything useful and inspirational in some way. I really like all your bella creations though; you are what inspired me to buy my first one! Congrats again.
ReplyDeleteLet's try that again... I hope this link works!

Congrats on 1 year Blogaversary. Love the name. You picked a hard question. I just like all your creatived and talented artwork. But I will have to say I really like the Christmas tag card. It's simple but so cute. Thanks for a chance.
ReplyDeletecmeyers@hughes.net
Happy Blogaversary! I really like some of the cards you did back in july. BUT, the clear card you made last Sunday is my fave. It rocks! And I agree with you.... blogging makes me want to stamp more!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary! I had to go WAY back for my favorites among your cards, but I finally found it... May 28 (when you had the foot trouble). Anyhow, that card is so clean & simple - I really love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy! Happy Blogaversary!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite card/project is
Spring Dreams
the colors are awesome & I love the layout
Congratulations! You have a wonderful blog. My favorite is from June, Summer Sunshine. I love those colors.
ReplyDeleteClaudia
Hi Nancy! Congratulations on your anniversay of blogging! I know you must put a lot of work into it! I enjoy reading it so much, and I especially liked your business cards. They were awesome and I think I liked them so much because it's a lot of work for such "small" items. Good luck in the future as well!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your blogaversary! I really like the acetate card that you created. It's absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!
ReplyDeleteI went back through my google reader to look at the posts from your blog that I had 'starred'. I went back even further than when I first subscribed and discovered Dots and Bugs from back in Feb. I love the colors and the dry embossing!! Thanks for a year of awesome inspiration!!
Heather L.
Congrats! Exciting for you and for us!! I have to say that I really love the simple and elegant card you made with the Baroque Motifs set and posted on July 30th. I can't get enough of that set, and I love the way you made the card look very clean, yet added bling to make it extra special! (http://nancyscreativemess.blogspot.com/2007/07/i-love-this-set.html)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first Blogaversary! And that is one sweet treat! My fav card is the "scrap of plastic" sticker card you made...so unique! Thanks for the inspiration & all the great ideas!
ReplyDelete~Brenda H.
I think the project that made me think, "Hey, I can do that!" was your scrap of plastic card in August. It was one of those lightbulb moments for me!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your blogaversary! Its really hard to pick just one but I'll pick the "have a beautiful day" card you posted in June:) I love the flowers and the colours and just all of it:) And I hope you have a beautiful day and week!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 1 year!! What a milestone! One of my favorite cards you made used one of my favorite stamp sets--- Lizzie Anne Jolie Fleurs -- the acetate cards. That was so cool - I need to find some acetate to try it myself. :)
ReplyDeleteI love these 3! http://bp0.blogger.com/_ntTmZwTXOBk/RsTdNX3p-XI/AAAAAAAABCc/jQIQgiVeJSg/s1600-h/Julie.JPG

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your one year anniversary. I enjoy visiting your blog. It was hard to pick just one favorite but I really liked the thank you card you made using sketch challenge 128. Very stunning. Thanks for offering such yummy blog candy.
ReplyDeleteI really love this card:

ReplyDeleteI really liked the wedding cuttlebug gate card. Very cute! Happy one year of blogging.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your one year anniversary! You have so many beautiful cards and crafted items on your blog. I especially loved the card that you made for your Mom for her birthday. It was just beautiful! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas!
ReplyDeleteOUt of everything!! Wow!! I really like the peeka boo card from the 28th of Aug..well, those are my favorite colors!! LOL. And I loved the latest acetate card. I need to make some of those!
ReplyDeleteConrats Nancy!!
Happy Blogaversary! One whole year...that's great! I love all your creations...but the most recent one which caught my eye is the Pretty Butterfly card. I love it's simple elegance!!
ReplyDeleteI really like your frog card because it was the first time you tried your Prismacolors with the gamsol and blender. I'm hoping to get some soon and I was impressed at how well you did and I'm hoping I will be as good at using them as you are. Happy 1 year to you!
ReplyDeleteI'm unable to narrow it down to just one but must say I love how you take the Marvy giga punches along with a cuttlebug embossing folder and create diverse and beautiful cards. It's inspiration for me to see how one punch can be the creative vehicle for so many other cards.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on blogging for a year. You have an awesome blog and I visit it often. My favorite things on your blog are your bella cards. I just love them and can't get enough. Tks for the opportunity to win blog candy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That sure is a milestone. Now--Do I really have to choose only one thing I liked in the past year? That's an impossibility really...everything you have done here has inspired me in one way or another. I am intrigued by the acetate card--so much so that I have already purchased some white ink so I can try it myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...I just love visiting here.
Janet B
congrats on the blogiversary!! my fave is the hinged coaster box from may. love the colors, paper, flowers--al of it and i never thought to put a hinged lid on it!! wow!!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy,

My favorite cards (notice plural, cause I can't pick just one!!) are your cards done with the baroque motifs set...they are gorgeous and made me want that set too, and your newest acetate card.. thought it rocked!!
Congrats on your one year of blogging. I know I check in regularily and love what you do. My favorite things to see are 3D projects like the coaster box you did in March.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Your blog is one of my daily visits and I just love your projects! As for a favourite the bella cards from June are great. I like the layers on the card!
ReplyDeleteYosha
Happy Blogging! Congrats. Your cards are great. A favorite of mine is the acetate card! I love the freshness of it. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOne of my absolute favorites of your cards is the one you posted in June for the PageMaps Anniversary contest...the beautiful card with all those primas!!! Congrats on your blog anniversary; I so enjoy checking in to see your wonderful creations. Thanks for the chance to win a Lizzie Anne Design set; I have several on my wish list.

ReplyDeleteThanks!

Hi Nancy!
ReplyDeleteHappy One Year Blogaversary!
Woo-Hoo!!!
Thank you for offering a marvelous prize for us to celebrate with you :)
One of my favorite cards that you did is the Chocolate Chip color challenge back in January. I really like how you stamped the strip and then ran it through the cuttlebug...very nice effect!
Congratulations on your one year anniversary. I just found your site thanks to Allison. Haven't seen all your cards yet, but I love the one on acetate you did earlier this month. Thanks for sharing awesome blog candy.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite card so far, is one you posted on April 30th. Of course, it's floral and you included chipboard and double sided paper (stripes). The colors just sing to me plus you used one of the Michael's $1 stamps. Too cute. Congrats on your anniversary!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 1 year of blogging, very exciting, I can totally relate to you saying that if you are blogging regularly than you have to be creating regularly, it challenges you...in a good way!
ReplyDeleteTo pick one project, well I can't, I really like them all Nancy, you are very talented. Thanks for the inspiration and here's to another year of fantastic blogging!
Cheers
happy one year anniversary! :)
ReplyDeletei still love the gate fold cards you did a while back-- the one with red/black/white flowers and the wedding card.
thanks for the chance to win.
I like your Peek a boo card from August!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on one whole year of blogging!
My favorite Christmas card of all time is on your blog. It's a snowflake, pale blue on white and covered in glitter. I found it to be so gorgeous and elegant. Congrats on your great year of blogs.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your bloaversary! and ys, you do inspire our creativity!
ReplyDeletei am new to the blog thing, but my favorite that I have seen SO FAR is your post on 8-30 th for SCRAP OF PLASTIC, it is the first time i have seen something like that ( i lead a sheltered life!) something about that really intriqued me!!! i also just like reading your blogs in general, they make me smile! : )
Congrats on your Blogaversary!! I LOVE the Clearly It's Clear card a few posts down!! Thanks for all the great ideas!!
ReplyDeleteKelly S
Is this s trick question? Pick one card? OK, I like your cards using Baroque Motifs you borrowed from a friend, especially the one you posted on July 30th... BTW! I love the blings on yours cards! Thanks for the yummy candy!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your blog anniversary! I visit almost every day! My favorite card, thus far, is the pink acetate card you did just recently. But I like when you do the flashback one's, as it is always nice to see how far we've evolved in stamping!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary! I really love your blog, it's full of inspirations for me!
ReplyDeleteYou've lots of great cards, so it's hard to choose my favorite. But I think I will pick the card that you made for color challenge #127. And I really love the business cards too.
Congratulations on your first year blogaversary. I am amazed at both your blogging and your card making. Your cards are beautiful and very inspiring. Kudos on a job well done. I also like the wedding card done in June
ReplyDeleteOne year? Good for you! I like all of the tent toppers you have done. I like that concept and need to try it out for myself.
ReplyDeleteHeather B
I love the "Pretty Butterfly" card you made. I had never though of the two colors together and it really turned out fabulous. I also loved the colors you used. Happy Anniversary of your blog & thank you for sharing your amazing projects.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Nancy on your 1 year anniversary!! One of my favorite posts is the fantasy box.
ReplyDeleteHi!! I love Clearly Clear - that is a style you don't see much of everywhere else, and it is soooo neat!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win some goodies!! My favorite card is definitely the little froggy card that you used to showcase your prismacoloring..so cute!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not participating because I don't have a clue how to rubber stamp. I know I know. It should be easy, but I tried once and I got smudges and then I tried coloring in the stamp and it looked like a two year old did it so I never went back. I will say though that the acrylic card you did was awesome and it made me 'almost' want to try my hand at making a card again :o) But I did want to say a huge congratulations on your one year Blogaversary!! It's been a real pleasure coming out of lurk mode to get to know you better :o)
ReplyDeleteI love so many of your things - that's why I subscribed to your blog as soon as I found it! But your acetate card was the first one I've seen - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! I love your cards, keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteJudy R

I honestly really like the card you just posted, I am very "IN" to the longer notecards from Stampin Up at the moment. I just received my shipment yesterday!! WOO HOO!
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I have been a lurker but have finally decided to start my own blog...any tips on how to do my own fun heading instead of the premade layouts would be awesome. You can Email me at ElizabethIU at hotmail. Thanks!
Congratulations, Nancy! Can't believe how quickly a year has passed. I love reading your blog posts (even if I don't comment everytime!) It is the highlight of my mornings.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your one year Anniversay. It is so nice to such talent from Canada. YEH!YEH!

Thanks again for your blog site. Keep up the excellent blog that keeps us fellow stampin up stampers going. Your inspiration, ideas are so much fun.
ReplyDeleteRegards from a Southern Ontario Stamper, Susan

Too pooped to craft....ha! Join the club...and you're right, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with age :)
I really like the card that you posted today. I don't remember seeing that sketch, but it is so cute with the flowers that you stamped down the middle. Great color combo too!
Happy Anniversary. Isn't paper the symbol for your 1st anniversary? How fitting lol. I love your flashback Fridays, and your cute little froggie cards among others.

ReplyDeleteNancyS (momsnack
I'm thoroughly enamored right now with anything that has the clear acetate and yours are particulary inspiring. I have to say you do some great things when you cut out simple shapes and attach them to the card in wonderful ways.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your Blog 1 year anniversary Nancy.
ReplyDeleteI check your blog regularly. I love the acetate card and wedding card. But I also enjoy the source of inspiration that you offer. Thanks for all you do.
One year old...who says you can't go back and relive our childhood...LOL I really enjoyed your December blogs. I love xmas and you obviously do to. Your blogs screamed excitement as well as enjoyment. I just liked reading them, cards and candy were just bonuses....LOL
ReplyDeleteCongrats,
