Erin's Top 10 of 2011

It was difficult to narrow it down to 10 favorite projects to show you today. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I tend to like my most recent works best, so this isn't much of a "retrospective" from the year, being heavier in newer pages than in old.

 I've recently come to the conclusion that the pages I like most, are usually ones done with a challenge of some sort. Some of these were based on sketches, many for our Frugal Finds feature which all started out with dread, and ended so surprisingly well. One page even came into being thanks to a kit made for me from my own stash by two pals. Have a look over your favorites from the year and see if you can find a common thread. When you do, see if you can incorporate it into as many of your projects as you can!
