And for those of you that are not sure... maybe a way to define your crafting style(s)!? So I am throwing down a New Year challenge here for you...
So today was the day for clearing away my christmas decorations...and making my house look really bare...! And then all the christmas cards we were sent were taken down...
And then I had a thought as I carried them to the recycling bin!
I sorted through them... allowing myself to pick just 12ish that I most liked... and here they are....
I like lots of white space!
I like a clean & simple style!
I like large square cards!
I like things to be fairly monotone - silver/gold/black with maybe a splash of red!
I like lots of glitter & shine on christmas cards!
Though I have to admit that I purposely didn't select from my hand made cards... as that is just too hard... because (1) I would always select them to be in my Top 12 cards as they are always the best cards I receive! (2) I so appreciate the work that has gone into them so it would be impossible not to select them (3) Many are made with the sender knowing what I like in any case! (4) Many are from my blog followers!
Now I found this so fascinating that I allowed my self to choose another 12ish that hadn't made the original cut... and I learnt more....
So I can hear you asking if there were any surprises!? I think the liking of the wreaths so much and the reindeer was probably the biggest surprise for me.... and that I didn't receive any cards with doors or windows on!!!
So hows about you??? What is your style...?? I would love to hear back from anyone that conducts this experiment for themselves.... or am I just too daft!!!
