TLC411 ~ The Best of 2012 ~ (1/7/13)
 

Welcome to the first 2013 Technique Challenge! It was a year ago that I stepped out of my comfort zone and joined the TLC Challenge Hostess team. I have loved every minute! Thank you for playing along in 2012!

I am still recovering from the holidays - how about you? I have to find some time to take down my decorations this week. I hope that you will find time to play in this week's Technique Challenge, because it is a FUN one, and one that everyone can play in!

This week we are taking a look back at the "The Best of 2012." Choose one of the TLC Challenges (#358-410) from 2012 and make a project using that week's technique!

Please omit TLC359 and TLC389 from your choices, as those referred back to previous challenges that originated in other years.

Here is the link to the TLC MASTER LIST. Please make sure you are choosing one dated 2012~! Scroll down to find posts #9, 10, and 11.

Be sure to list which 2012 Technique Challenge you chose in your description!

My Sample:
Plain and Simple

Please remember when uploading to include the keyword TLC411 (no spaces). You can also add the keyword of the original TLC if you like.

Hi. This sounds like a lot of fun. Is there a dateline by which a project needs to be completed?

For most of the on-site challenge, and that covers all the ongoing daily ones, there's no completion date! There are always people starting at the beginning of some challenges and working their way through :D. Very satisfying on a personal level.
But you will get more comments if you upload within a day or two of the challenge being posted, if that matters to you.

Lovely idea, Judy. I choseTLC399....a technique that has become one of my favorites for easy and fast cards. I also combined it with the CAS for today.

This looks like a fun challenge, Judy! Can't wait to play! Don't worry, you're not the only one who hasn't yet taken the Christmas decorations down. I keep saying "tomorrow!" And I really mean it. :)

Hi Judy! Thanks for the fun challenge ... so glad to be back playing along here at SCS!

TLC411, TLC360 Best Winter Wishes
 

Judy- thanks for giving us choices for techniques, I am a bit low on supplies! I used Graphic 45 A Place In Time dp for my vintage image, paired with Sizzix's Snowman #7 die- paper pieced the cap, scarf, and mittens. Added a blingy brad/tie combo, and a twine/button combo (TLC360- Twine it Up). Finished with a green gem to accentuate the frame shapes. Here's Best Winter Wishes

Judy, congrats on a year as our techniques leader! Thank you for your time and effort...and for finding us so many fabulous techniques!

Here's my TLC411 Mojo Forever . I went back to TLC379 Distressed Edges for my card.

TLC411 Add a Little Dimension398
 

I chose TLC398 Add a Little Dimension. The title of my post is Magnolia Birthday. I'm still new at posting so I hope I did it correctly. I want to add a link, but can't remember how. LOL!

Debbie

What a fabulous idea!!!! I SO wanted to try the chalkboard technique last week, but didn't have time....found some time this morning!

Thanks!

LOVE

Thanks for all the work you do to keep the challenges going. I used the Background Technique challenge TLC389 to make a difficult card for my mom:
For My Mom
Inside Grace

Thanks, Judy, for a great challenge today. I went back to July to choose TLC384 (Let the Sunburst Shine) for my technique. Here's my card:

City Bridge

Judy, you've inspired me with your "wide-open" challenge today. I needed to get on the masculine b'day cards for January and you gave me the impetus. Thanks! Another card done.

BIRTHDAY TIME

I love the TLC challenges as I learn some great new techniques. My favourite of the ones I learned last year was Wrinkle Free Distress so that's the one I chose for today's challenge:

Favourite New Technique

Many thanks to the hostesses who keep this challenge going!

Thanks for the great challenge! My goal this year is to try and participate in more of them! Love this one since I went back to read all the fun I've missed!
So here is my card.
Autumn Collage
Subtle Butterflies
Also- time for a new camera! This 8 year old one just isn't cutting it.

Here is my Thanks A latte for the Layered Scallops TLC. I plan on doing another one for another challenge. I didn't get to do many of them last year! :)
Thank you!

Thanks for the fun challenge, Judy! I finally got to try a tech I missed the first time around. Here's my Birthday Belleek . Thanks so much for looking!

What a great idea, Judy! I used the first challenge from 2012 #358 "Make it Wet" - but it took all day to dry! Here is my Faux Postage Thank You .

Well that was a fun challenge Judy! I didn't play a lot last year, so had fun going back through the list of challenges and used the TWINE challenge! Combined it with this weeks CAS challenge to do something with postage. So here's my brown paper package tied up in string - TFL!

Thanks for a nice review challenge.

I did TLC361 - belleek
and TLC398 - add a little dimension

Here's my card...

Here is my RIVETING WITH LOVE.

In My Den
and the inside: Den & Bookmark

This was a fun challenge, Judy. I enjoyed looking back at all the TLC challenges from last year and zeroed in on one of my favorite techniques, that of ruching ribbon ( TLC387 ). Thanks for putting this challenge out there!

Here's mine: Baby card.

Great challenge, and it came at just the right time for me! My creative resolution for 2013 is to try new techniques (not just pin them to Pinterest!), so this was a great challenge to start off the New Year. I used TLC388 (Triple Stamping/Seamless Tiers) for my CARD .
