  19. Thank you for sharing all of these amazing projects you’ve created using wonderful Altenew products! I wish peace for the world–there is such mayhem and hate in the world but also some wonderfully kind and loving people who go out of the way to help others. I think the kind and loving people need to turn others into the same, so that the kind can rule the world, not the ones who care only for themselves.

  22. my wish for the new year is that kindness prevails – and that if everyone did something kind for another every day what a wonderful world it would be!!

  23. So so SO lovely. All of them! I love the one with the green striped accents. What a lovely way to
    “frame” the focal floral image. Thank you so much.

  24. Forgot to say…for next year… a new house with a real craft room! (Working on the house part, but lots to do first)

  25. I wish all the clever creators of Altenew products will have another wonderful full of fun and laughter! Happy New Year!

  26. Ah my wish for the new year… I think if everyone could try to see the point of view of others, the people we find hard to understand. We should all be better neighbours to each other.

  36. I love the glitter of the “mom” card and how the cut out flower image tucks behind and spills out over the circle cut out. So much detail!

  37. Vicky I have adored watching your cards over the short time I have been crafting & card making, your video’s are always very fun & informative. My wish for 2018 is that the world could all stop being unkind & start sharing kindness & peace.

  38. Your cards are always so beautiful Vicky! I really enjoy your work and watching your process! Thanks for sharing your talent!

  45. Absolutely WONDERFUL cards, I love your inspiration! I especially love the best Mom card with the lovely flowers spraying out of the circle against that silver sparkliness!

  46. Hi Vicky, very beautiful stamps as always, and a good source for inspiration.

    I hope we all have a very healthy and happy new year with the love of our family, friends and pets.

  47. After looking at your beautiful creations, I don’t want the year to end. I want to go back to the beginning and make better use of all the wonderful Altenew products that I have that I haven’t used to their full potential.

  48. Always enjoy your wonderful videos and find inspiration. I wish for everyone to find humor; life is easier with laughter.

  49. Vicky, I love the fact that you have chosen four floral designed cards for this Blog Hop. Whereas I know that you create a great many different types of designs. My favourite two designs are the Dogwood (I think I am correct in naming the flower) especially the one with the cut out aperture.

  50. Hi Vicky, my wish for 2018 is 2-fold: health and happiness for all in the family, but also an actual craft room (instead of my corner/half of the lounge). Thanks for the inspiration you have provided this year – I have tried quite a few of your techniques!

  51. Stunning cards…those colors are so vibrant! My wish for 2018 would be for more time, especially to use making cards and crafting.

  52. Merry Christmas Vicky 🙂 I love all the cards you made with Altenew products they are all gorgeous and so inspiring! Thank you for sharing them with us it’s very hard to choose a favourite!

  53. So thankful for the videos you create! Great array of cards to showcase the year in review.
    My wish for the New Year is to be grateful for the little things no matter the circumstances.

  54. Beautiful cards! I wish for more sleep and a cleaner house! Not sure I’m getting either of those things….

  55. Thank you for taking time to show your creativity, it helps to broaden to other ideas for the same items. I wish to make more time for crafting and creating journal entries. Yours are such great inspiration. Love you eye on creativity.

  56. FABULOUS favourites – I think you did an amazing job being able to choose just four!
    They all INSPIRE and DELIGHT!
    My favourite is “hello”, the delicate florals contrast perfectly with the big, bold hello and green stripes 🙂

  57. My wish for the next year is to be able to
    continue with my paper crafting hobby.
    I hope that the many blogs that I visit
    will continue to inspire me and
    provide me with gorgeous art
    work for my viewing pleasure.
    You’ve done a great job this year.
    thanks for sharing.

  58. I love your work, from journals to cards to canvas, you inspire me. I look forward to trying new techniques this year, but really hope to try new mediums as well. My wish for you is a Happy New Year and many more posts for us!

  59. I’ve enjoyed your work over the year. Thanks for sharing your creativity and inspiration in 2017. I hope to try more techniques with some crafty goodies I’ve recently acquired. Happy New Year to you.

  60. Love these cards. Your cards and mixed media projects are so wonderful. You were the first person I started to follow on utube.

  61. Great projects, the colors really pop with the grey. I wish for more ALTENEW for the new year!!! Hee! Already received the new die cutter for Christmas…YAY!! 🙂

  62. Beautiful look back. What do I wish for in 2018? There is so much, but the main thing is for all things to go well for my son’s wedding. We have so much to do and create for the wedding and I just hope for all of it to go well and for things to run smoothly. I wish for my daughter’s relationship with her boyfriend to remain strong and for them to take the next step> I also wish for my husbands business to have a good year.
    Thanks for all you do to inspire us and for sharing your fabulous talent with us.
