I am thrilled to be hopping along today with Altenew to celebrate 2017. You should have arrived here from GALINA’s amazing Blog.
I have some of my faves for 2017 to share so I’d better get started!
Starting with something ‘very’ bright! I adore this Parrot Paradise Stamp Set and had sooo much fun creating this card, you can see the video for it here.
I made this card for the new Artist Markers release where I decided to ‘no-line’ colour the Just Because flowers. You can find the post and details here.
Probably my fave colour combo for the year using the Floral Fantasy Stamp Set. You can see the video for this project here.
And the December release totally rocked and this Stunning Cosmos set stole my heart. You can find the details for this card here.
And a couple more, just for fun! Another ‘no-line’ colouring card using the Summer Swirls Stamp Set, and you can find the post for this one here.
And finally a gold embossed wedding design using the Ladies’ Day Out Stamp Set with the Celebrations Stamp Set. You can find the video for this one here.

From here you are off to LAURA’s wonderful blog. Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you are having heaps of fun on this hop!
It has been a colorful year. thanks.
Such beautiful cards. Love the wedding one and the flowers. I’ve stayed away from layering stamps (tried one I have but after many tries with it I just couldn’t get the layers lined up), but some of your cards make me want to reconsider Altenew layering stamps and try again with a different set (the one I have is a much older one — one of the first I believe). Thanks, Therese! Best wishes for a very Merry (and cool!) Christmas. May the new year be a crafty one!!!
These are definitely best of your work. I love many more of them.
Your Floral Fantasy is my fave, Therese! I do hope Santa brings those dies you’ve been wishing for! =]
Love all these cards. The wedding one is exquisite.
Very beautiful cards, Therese! You are one of my favorite designers and I love what you do with Altenew products. Thanks for the inspiration and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
Beautiful cards Therese, so much inspiration on this blog hop! Merry Christmas to you and yours and all the best for 2018!
What a great year of beautiful cards and lots of colors. Thanks for brightening my year.
I just love all of your cards! Looking forward to more inspiration in 2018!
The flower cards are among my favorites!

The cosmos stole my heart as well. Just love how you used them! And the wedding card? What can I say, other than just gorgeous! Wishing you a happy new year!

love your cards and the creativity you bring to them. Thanks for a great year and looking forward to another awesome year:)
So many favorites! I really love the no line coloring you did and the ice cream card looks so realistic. I’d be hard pressed to let these go, but as the craft of card making goes, it fills a need a purpose. For me that is to put a smile on the recipient. Those that get these cards must have been so excited!
SUPER gorgeous cards!!

Every one of your cards is wonderful and distinct, but I love the one made with the Just About Flowers set. It just melts my heart when I look at it.
Therese I absolutely love large sentiments which you have used on most of your chosen cards but my favourite one is the one with the flying parrot it is amazing!
Beautiful cards!
I like the striking colors in your cosmos flower birthday card.
I feel as if I am saying the same thing at each stop because all of Altenew’s designers are so talented that I get shaky just thinking about meeting any of them one day! I know I would be speechless and hiding behind someone like a little kid because I am just a little bit intimidated by you fabulous ladies!
Your cards are gorgeous and I wish I had a smidgen of your talent! Merry Christmas to you and your family! TFS!
Thank you so much Barb, you have made me blush lol. Wishing you the most fabulous Christmas (ours is already finished here, except for the extra kilos) Big hugs Therese

Wonderful use of colors and stamps.
Your flowers are beautiful; I love the birthday card!
Gorgeous choices for your Altenew review, Therese … so lovely to see all these beauties once again! My favourite … the cosmos … they’re light and delicate … and I love that the splatters add a wonderful sense of gentle movement to them! Hope you had a simply splendid Christmas Day! Hugs, Anita 🙂
