«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 340 of 340Always love seeing your cards and projects on Instagram!
Oh - that is such a beautiful card!
I don't know about my favorite christmas present of all time, but this year I gave myself two favorite presents - a MISTI and a new smart phone =) I also got a movie I had wished for that I was very happy about too!
Happy New Year and thanks for the chance to win:-) My favorite gifts are always books.
My favorite Christmas gift of all time was a photo album put together by my Dad. It includes family photos from when I was born to when I had my first child.
I love following your blog and always look forward to your inspiring projects. My favourite Xmas present would have to be when I was around 10yrs old and riding a very old and very small second-hand bike because we didn't have much money and my parents told me they couldn't afford a new one. I came out Xmas morning to find a brand new pink 10-speed bike. I looked after that bike like it was worth a million dollars because it meant so much to me!!
Happy New Year 2016!! Fabulous card. Best present was my baby.
What lovely card!! It's going to sound strange my favorite Christmas gift was the year my Dad died right before Christmas and we focused on spending time together as a family rather than on gifts. A sad, but wonderful memory!
I always enjoy your posts as you are so very inspiring!! My favorite Christmas gift would have to be my most recent from my grandkids...#1 Grandma keychain from Ben and Shopkins Uno & Shopkins Trouble from Lexi :) Happy New Year Kim!!!
Best gifts are the handmade ones and this year my best friends kids (5 and 3 y.o.)made me cute little cards :)
Awesome giveaway!! Happy 2016!!
Happy New Year! Your card is beautiful! I love the watercolouring and the gold and vellum.
Fav Christmas present is easy. I received many dolls and tea sets and pretty things over my many years but one memorable gift was a set of glitter glue sticks and some cardstock pictures to paint it on. I can still recall the feeling of joy I felt as I sat down right then and there to squeeze the little lines of glittery happiness out of the tubes and onto the pictures. It didn't matter what they were of, I just wanted to paint the glitter on and watch is sparkle, much like I still do with my bottles of stickes and glitter. Happy ~sigh!~
Happy new year! Thanks for the chance to win :)
We don't have Christmas presents but I love to be together with my family on Christmas :)
Happy new year to you Kimberly! My favorite gift was spending time with both mine and my hubby's families. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
My favorite Christmas gift? I would say money to buy craft supplies :D ! Hugs xx
Happy New Year and thank you for the wonderful giveaway. Your card is fabulous, I love the watercolour background against the gold.
I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out what my favorite Christmas gift of all time has been and I cannot think of one single thing. I just love Christmas, the decorations and time spent with family and friends.
One of my best presents was a surprise vacation with my husband. Thanks for the chance to win. Happy New Year!
Thank you for the chance to win!
Happy New Year to you. I always love the inspiration you provide. Since we don't celebrate Christmas, My husband and I don't do gifts but we make sure we do gifts for the kids. This year was the best as my 4 year old got the Frozen doll she wanted and she was excited both before and after she got the gift.
Thank you for the chance to win!! I follow you on Bloglovin' and Pinterest. My favorite gift I received? Hmmmm-I think the Barbie Dreamboat when I was a kid!! I wanted it so bad and Santa delivered!
Thanks for the chance to win. What a beautiful card ! I always love to receive craft gift, but my favorite one was a trip to Italy for my 50th birthday.
Well, about 25 years ago, I was married about 3 years then I asked for a Kitchen Aid mixer they were not so everyday then more for bakers, everyone thought my husband was nuts for buying me a mixer. I was thrilled and still use it today. It is my favorite gift ever.
This happened quite awhile ago, thanks for helping me to remember it. I played flute all during high school and considered music as my major in college, but went in another direction. My youngest sister, on the other hand, is a musician, and she inherited my flute. One Christmas probably 15 years after, she got me a new flute to have at home. Such a sweet thing to do, and yes, I still have it. Maybe I should get it out again and play!
Love your work - thanks for the giveawy to MFT, one of my favorite companies!
Happy New Year Kim! Looking forward to more of your beautiful creations! I think the best gift ever was my first stocking from dear hubby. He filled it with crafting supplies! Thanks for the chance to win!
Happy New Year! Absolutely love the new sheep set from MFT and your cards are terrific. Thank you so much for a chance to win such a great prize. Cheers.
Mine are the little gifts handmade by my grandchildren...I just love your ewe stamp....Happy New Year...xx
Beautiful gold foil leaves!
Love your cards! My favorite present of all was tickets to see Les Miserables! Happy Year!
Beautiful cards! My favorite Christmas present of all would be this year when on Dec. 22nd the judge approved my son's adoption of his wife's little girl! He is now official daddy and I am officially grandma! Happy New Year!
Your card is beautiful. I love the background. My favorite Christmas present was the year my husband wrapped a toilet paper roll (filled with money to buy crafty things) in Christmas paper. It was my favorite because of the unusual package that delivered it and we had some great laughs about it. (a very nice surprise)
Love your beautiful card....beauty is simplicity sure fits in this case. Happy New Year. Fav Christmas gift was a trip to Hawaii.
I am always inspired when I visit your blog! My favorite Christmas gift ever was this year. I finally got the Misti!!! Thank you for participating in this amazing hop, and...Happy New Year!
Such a lovely card! LOVE the watercolor and gold! Happy New Year!!!

I love your blog! its amazing, Happy New Year and what an awesome prize.
I just saw all your sheep cards before arriving at the hop post, and they are absolutely darling!
My favorite Christmas gift is really Jesus. I know it might sound obvious, but without His willingness to come to earth and live a perfect life as a human and then die on the cross for my sins, I would have no hope for the future. Because of His sacrifice, I now have a certain, secure future for all eternity!
May the Lord richly bless you in the new year and always!
THank you for the chance to win!
Wow I was so enthralled with your January release, that I almost didn't get to this hop! My all time favorite Christmas gift? With almost seven decades to choose from it is hard to pick - but the best gift ever is being with family! I just this moment subscribed to your YouTube channel. Hope to see you soon!
My best Christmas gift would be my 3 December born children and granddaughter.
Son on the 4th early and 2 daughters and granddaughter all on the 28th.
My favorite Christmas presents of all time were those handmade by my daughters when they were little.
Love your work! My favorite gift was my Breyer horses. Love your MFT sheep cards above too.
I just got some Zig Kuretaki watercolors! I usually love anything that has to do with cards!
I absolutely love this card, so simple but very elegant! Thanks for sharing your talent and joining the hop, it's been fun and inspirational!
My favorite Christmas gifts are the handmade gifts that I get from crafty friends. I've gotten a beautiful beaded necklace, knitted scarves, personalized cups). I appreciate the thought, time and effort that was put into making these creations. That's what makes them so valuable to me.
Wow! Beautiful card!!! My favourite Christmas present of all time it was a Weekend in Paris, last year! It was a dream! Thank you for this amazing chance and Happy New Year!
Wow! Love your creativity! Hope to win this awesome prize!
What a great way to start the year! I love this blog hop :)
Thanks for sharing your pretty card! I followed on Pinterest.
All the best in 2016!
Thanks for the chance to win! Have a wonderful new year. My favorite gift was anything that my daughter gave to me when she was small. She was always making beaded jewelry and I have many pieces to remember.
Love all your card posts! My best Christmas present ever I got engaged at Christmastime almost 30 wonderful years ago.
My favorite gift of all time was a handmade clock (from a recycled CD) that my husband gave me. I had made about 12 of them to give as gifts and my husband thought "someone needs to make one for her!) and so he did. I was just so touched by his thoughtfulness that I cried! lol Thank you for your giveaway and Happy New Year!
Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite Christmas present was born 7 years ago yesterday... January 1st... my grandson!
Beautiful card love the gold leaves. So pretty! I have been so lucky to receive great Christmas presents but my favorite of all time was a picture that my daughter made me when she was 3.
Home made cards are always my favourite!
MFT is one of my favorite stamp stores and you are one of my favorite DT member. I'm always inspired by your work and your cardmaking style is right up my alley. My favorite Christmas gift this year was a cute, cute gift cardholder (with a Costco gift card). What made it my favorite is that it came from a neighbor who I introduced to the world of stamping. I'm proud to have her as a stamping buddy and seeing her flourish as a cardmaker is an honor.
This is my first visit to your blog, but will certainly be back. Love the watercolor background on your card. Thanks for an opportunity to win.
Beautiful card! Best gift ever - all my sisters and brother home for Christmas this year!
My most memorable Christmas gift was one year when my dad's union was on strike so he was out of work for months prior to Christmas. My mom got us a hair dryer and a baseball bat using S&H green stamps! (I'm showing my age here LOL) We couldn't have been happier!
Beautiful card, love the pink, orange and gold undertones!
That is a tough one, I think it would have to be a doll that I really wanted when I was a little girls.
Beautiful card. I'd have to say my most favorite Christmas gift was a necklace my kids gave me.
Teresa P
My favorite gift ever? The Lord gave me my husband! Long story that I won't bore you with but He did! Great card!
Happy New Year! My favorite gift was a Super Spirograph!! Even back then I loved paper and pens!!
Gorgeous card and I LOVE your sheep cards - can they be MORE cuter in their puffy fluff?!?
I don't really have a favourite gift - I LOVE getting crafting supplies!
Deanne :)
Love your cards! My favorite Christmas gift as an adult is my first sewing machine my husband bought me when I was expecting our first child. I cried!
Gorgeous card!
My favorite gift...? Well, every holiday is a gift when you have cancer at age 30 (and that was over 20 years ago). But this year: My hubby surprised me with a scarf I had coveted (we never gift each other!) and it's what he said that was the gift: This is because you have hung in there through a tough transition (new job...not loving it), and continued to be a love wife and mama to our children through it all." That piece of kindness and understanding was the real gift.
Happy New Year! Love your card! Thanks for a chance to win!
So beautiful! My favorite gift would be the ring from my son and my daughter rewrapped something from her room it was too cute!
I am new to you, Kimberly. I am following you now :) Love your card and so glad for this blog hop and new inspiration. Blessing for you in 2016.
It's really hard to pick just one favorite gift. Twenty-one years ago I married my husband on Christmas Eve...can he count as my favorite gift ever!?!!!
So easy! My kitten Noelle.
My favorite Christmas gift of all time is a poster my daughter made me when she was 10. Sixteen tears later the poster is still in my craft room. Thanks for all care you put into your works of art
Anything my daughters gave me that they made.
It's funny how Christmases seem to merge together in memories. Thinking back, one special Christmas (back in 1981), my boyfriend gave me a John Deere toy tractor, representing the model he worked on as an engineer at John Deere. I didn't think too much of it, especially being a girl who was not interested in tractors! That boyfriend then proposed to me a week later on New Year's Day. We married in 1983 and I love him more than ever! This year, he will celebrate his 37th year at John Deere. That tractor holds a special place on a shelf in our home!
Thanks for the wonderful prizes! Hmm I do love any type of crafty Christmas gifts but my oldest son was born in November he came in time for Thanksgiving and since then Christmas has never been the same!
Amazing project ideas!
Thank you for being a part of this blog hop, Kimberly. I follow your blog already because I'm an MFT addict and your cards are always fabulous! My favorite gift ever was a ring that belonged to my Grandfather and my Great-Grandma's engagement ring. They are priceless!
Happy New Year! My best gift ever, my one and only child was born a few days before Christmas and I brought him home on Christmas Eve. Our parents and siblings agreed it was all the best gift they could ever receive. No one cared about opening gifts, they just kept passing him around. I've gotten some beautiful gifts over the years but that one will always my favorite and be best gift I'll ever get in my entire life :) Love your videos, cards and techniques. Thanks for inspiring and the chance to win.
Just spending Christmas with my kids is my greatest gift (ask any mother, she would say the same). Thanks for the chance to win.
*SQUEAL* I just love MFT! Thanks so much for the chance to win the gift certificate. :D
Very pretty card!! In more recent years (well about 5 yrs ago) getting the big shot was my favorite Christmas gift. Thanks for the chance to win.
Beautiful card, Kimberly.
My favorite Christmas gifts were the trips my husband would plan for us each year.
Happy New Year!
Love the gold!
I love MFT stamps and dies! I've had lots of great gifts over my lifetime. My favorite gifts were always the ones my mom gave me. She knew how to pick out something special, that I would love. My Pandora charms come to mind as I write this. Miss you mom!
The blog hop has introduced me to so many new blogs to follow. I may need to quit my full time job to keep up! Thanks for the opportunity to win, here's to a new year full of new fabulous creations!
On a side note, my favorite gift this year was my trip to CUBA!
Beautiful card. My favorite gift was from my, at the time boyfriend, now my husband. We visited Door County and I loved a stained glass Nativity set. Although everything closed down in the late fall, he was able to track the owner of the store down and buy the nativity scene from his warehouse and surprise me with it at Xmas. It was the most thoughtful and unexpected gift ever. Thanks for stirring up that memory!
Baby Jesus is THE favorite Christmas Gift of all time. Thank you so much for your blog and this giveaway. God bless! ILuvTheEucharist (at) aol.com
Happy New Year! Your card is gorgeous.Thank you for participating in this wonderful blog hop.
Your sheep cards are adorable! My favorite gifts are those that are well thought-out and of course, home-made would be extra special. Thanks for the chance to win your great prize.
Favorite present?? SF Giants tickets to 6 games, including the game where they were giving away the Pence at the Fence bobble. : )
My favorite gift was a quilt from my grandmother.
Beautiful card! My favorite Christmas gift was my first kitten :)
I'm getting pretty old, so it's hard for me to remember some of my Christmas gifts. But I do remember getting a pink 5-speed bike one year. That was awesome!
Beautiful card! My favorite Christmas gift was my first kitten :)
That is a hard question... I generally love wrapping the presents and decorating them before putting them under my beautiful tree - that's what i look forward to each year.
My favorite Christmas present came this year. I got a Canon Rebel camera and am learning how to use it to take photos of my beautiful little girls! Happy 2016 to you!!

Such adorable sheep cards!! Love them so much! My favorite gift would be a sweet card from my younger sister, it was really sweet of her! :)
Beautiful card! Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win! Best Christmas gift I ever received was a trip to Disneyland!
My favorite Christmas present of all time was probably Lite Brite when I was a kid :D
Happy 2016! Your card is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
My daughter has hand drawn Christmas cards for me since she was a little girl. She is grown now and still continues to make them for me. Those are and always will be my favorite gifts.
Crafty hugs,

I love your cards! I'm definately going to be following this blog. Hard to say what my favorite Christmas present of all time was. I've had a lot of Christmases and a lot of great gifts. Last year my fiance sent a ring to where I was going to be on Christmas and the ring was perfect. This year my grandson gave me a visit to the Phoenix Escape Room -- with him. And my son always finds unique things. This year a book of the Christmas Carol in English and French side by side.
Beautiful card!! I LOVE MFT products!! I can't possibly pick a favorite Christmas present..I've been through so darn many Christmases LOL..not complaining!!
That is a beautiful card with the gold leaves and soft watercolor. My favorite is not a thing but a memory. One year we weren't going to be home on Christmas and I was afraid I would miss Santa. As my mom was getting me out of the bathtub I heard thumping on the house. She said she thought it was Santa and sure enough after I was dressed I went out and there were presents under the tree. I'm 72 and still remember that I HEARD Santa come to my house!
Your card is beautiful. Pink and gold! My personal favorites. Thanks so much.
Love the watercolored card! Very generous and inspiring blog hop!
Love the gifts from the kids , handmade with love

A fabulous Blog Hop and an oh so generous giveaway! Many thanks!
My favorite xmas gifts are always of the crafty sort!
You and your work are very inspiring. This is my first blog hop and I'm so excited to learn about so many bloggers and companies that I can order products for my paper crafting and scrapbooking. I adore the lamb card...so adorable. I want that stamp set! My favorite Christmas present was my Big Kick machine by Sizzix. Creativity is important to me and that allows me to do so much. Happy New Year!
Thank you for a chance to win. Happy New Year!
Happy new year. thank you for the chance to win
Thanks for the chance to win! Love your posts on MFT.
I loved the baby dolls Santa left for me.
I love your card creations, so fun and just plain beautiful. I'm following you in Pinterest for inspiration too. All the best for 2016
This is a great hop and I thank you for your participation and generosity. I enjoy you style and inspiration that you share with us! My favorite gift was a doll I received when I was in 3rd grade so very many years ago!
Love the card, especially the leaf!
My favorite Christmas gift of all time was a letter from a son expressing his love for me. Priceless.
My favorite gift of all Christmases was to be with my elderly father this Christmas.
Beautiful card--I like the gold.
My favorite Christmas present is just being with all my family.

I hope I'm not too late, I love MFT! Your designs and creations are so sweet, Kimberly.
My favorite gift is a "#1 Mom" pink heart key ring that my daughter purchased from her elementary school holiday fair. Thanks for asking. Happy New Year!
Love MFT stamps! Your woolly sheep are adorable! Thanks for a chance at a great prize!
thanks for such a fabulous give away, my favorite Christmas present of all time was in 2011 when my daughter who was stationed overseas was able to surprise me by coming home for Christmas
Lovely card! I think my favorite Christmas present has to be the first time I visited Disney World, it was an early present since my hubby wanted to avoid the crowds, which we found out is nearly impossible LOL, but all the same is a wonderful memory! TFS Kimberly, happy and prosperous 2016!
Beautiful card!! My favorite Christmas gift was to myself when I bought my Silhouette Caneo :)
My parents gave me a car for Christmas when I was 17- still can't believe it! Now the joy comes from seeing my daughter's excited face!!
Happy New Year & Thanks for the chance!
I might be late for the giveaway, but I just had to say that I love your cards!
I haven't been able to follow blogs or craft like I would like to in the past few years because of a lot of issues....but I have to say I love what I see on your blog and hope to see more since my New Years resolution is to get back into the blogging world and not just watch the videos on YouTube! Love your card for this post...it's so beautiful and I can't wait to see what this year brings ;)
This will be super corny, so feel free to skip reading, buuut...
My favourite X-mas gifts of all time were not gifts. One happened just BEFORE x-mas when my (now husband) longtime crush and ex-boyfriend asked me to give him another chance... (You bet I did!!) The other one was having one final and wonderful Christmas together with my mom, full of laughter and shenanigans, before she passed away a few days later, 13 years ago. I actually saved a piece of the wrapping of a book she gave me, though. Her handwritten note means the world to me, now.
Okay. Corniness over! ;)
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win this beautiful prize.
Wishing you a great 2016!
My best Christmas present ever is that I got engaged this Christmas!
My favorite Christmas present of all time was when I as newly married. We were young and quite broke. I had carried a lace fan with daisies down the aisle. My husband and had agreed we wouldn't exchange gifts that first Christmas since money was so tight. He snuck out my bridal fan and had the dead flowers replaced with silk daises. He wrapped it and gave it to me for Christmas. I thought it was a very thoughtful gesture and have always remembered it with fondness.
My favorite gift: a coupon card for 20 free hugs from a teen-age daughter who is not much of a hugger!
I am relishing this gift.
Fantastic Blog Hop. New Products to fall in love with and a chance to win them too! Happy New Year and a Big Thank You!!
This contest is now closed. The winner will be announced after the MFT Stamps release. Thank you to everyone who visited, shared sweet stories, and left lovely comments. This was a blast! Good luck and thanks again! Kimberly
