As the year draws to a close, we've been churning out loads of "best of" lists at the local newspaper where I work. This got me thinking about more important stuff - ie, stamping. What are your 'best ofs' for 2004? Here are mine - not necessarily new stuff, just things that I've enjoyed this year.
Favourite accessory: Snaps
Favourite theme: Wild animals
Favourite style: Retro
Favourite technique: Spinner cards
Favourite scrapbooking idea: 6x6 albums
Favourite new SU stamp set: Paris in the Spring... oh, or Simply Circles... or... no, better stop.
