Hello and Welcome to the annual "Best of" favorites from 2014 thread.
*if you have found something from this last week that you want to share that is not on your ultimate "this project knocked my socks off and down the block list"...
hang on to that item there will be a regular "favorites" thread next week that will cover these two first weeks of January.
This thread is being notified by Angie (ohmypaper!), Linda (Holstein), Priscilla (catluvr2), Stacy (JBgreendawn), and Vicki (vdm), and Elaine (ChaosMom), Sabrina (Cook22), Robin (Stamperrobin) and Mary (jandjccc). And then later these things will be collected and pinned to a special board on Pinterest.
That being said this is probably the hardest list that any of us assemble is the one that is for an entire years worth of favorites. Put your feet up and expect to be wow'd.
Each week we have newcomers to these threads. EVERYONE is invited to join in. The more participation we have, the more interesting this thread will be.

Thanks Stacy for starting us!!!! Yes, The most difficult list to make. I had a mini panic attack creating mine! I persevered though and pushed through it. I had around 1440 faves in my list because so many different types of art inspires me. Many of you were on my list EVERY month and sometimes multiples at that.
To keep this list from getting out of hand I took it month by month and scrolled the thumbnails for the ones that immediately jumped out at me and then I tried my best to shorten that list to 2 special ones per month. I ended up with a few more just because....well that panic attack hit!
Thank you ladies for sharing your incredible talents with all of us!
I had SO many favorites for 2014! which is a great indicator of the amazing talent in this community, I suppose. Well, whittling down that pile of precious gems to a manageable collection of diamonds was painful. These still sing to me, or teach me, or tease me to look closer:
Thank you, Mary and Angie, it is always a thrill and honor to be on someone's "best" list. So I am most appreciative of your nods to one of my cards. Stacy, thank you for letting me know. Hugs, Sallie
Robin, a special thank you to you for your generous mention of two of my cards for this past year. Of all the gorgeous, creative and well-executed cards that are uploaded each year on SCS, this is a humbling honor. Thank you! Again, Stacy, thank you for letting me know.
The time of year to list our very favourites for the year 2014 - this was definitely the hardest list to do as there are just SO many amazing cards uploaded every day on SCS! I tried to keep my list to 2 cards per month but this was not always possible! I want to thank all you wonderful notifiers, in advance, for the task ahead of you!!
Oh My Gosh Robin! thank you so much for selecting my little game face sally card in your favorites for 2014. I am honored!
Happy New Year, I wish you Health and Happiness!

I didn't even know this thread existed. When I saw I had a comment on my card from May I thought I'd been notified of the wrong card. Hee! THANKS so much for mentioning it among your 2014 favs, Susie! I was so glad to be able to make a card for JoAnn in light of the tragedy that befell her and her family. Thanks Stacy for letting me know.
I admire all you folk who have been able to keep track of your favourites over a whole year and I am so thrilled to get a mention - thank you Robin. Linda - thank you for bringing such joyful news. I will try to find a way to do a favourites of the year for 2015. Ideas welcome!

Robin, Angie, Brenda, Elaine and Susie, What an honor it is to have you guys mention some of my cards in the Best of 2014 favorites. I appreciate it so much. It is such a nice way to start my Sunday morning. Big hugs!
I want to give a big "thank you" to all of you ladies who volunteer your time each week to notify members of the listings. I know it is truly a gift of love for our community and it is well appreciated by us all.
I'll be back with big thanks soon - I thought I'd get in and post my own first.
As you know I'm frugal with my favourites - so for my favourites of the year I've chosen just one for each month, and a couple of "can't miss them out" cards. There are people who figure in my favourites regularly and I could have picked them for every month, but I've tried to share the love around a bit . Thank you for all the shared talent and inspiration.
