Jessica Frost Ballas – You are here!
Happy 2020, your cards are all wonderful!
There all great. My favorite would be Lawn Fawn underwater flip card.
Hard to pick just one card because they are all amazing. I would have to say that I am leaning towards June’s card as my favourite. Amazing colouring. Thanks for the chance to win. Good luck everyone.
Hi Jessica, Happy New Year. I get your newsletter and already follow you on IG. You had so many beautiful cards this year, but my favorites are your floral and the northern lights cards. Your backgrounds are amazing.
Love all the of them, but my favorites are May (roller coaster animals) and August (under water scenes). They are so cute. Love them!
I don’t remember your roller coaster card – it is so cute! All your colouring is amazing. My favourite of these cards though is the fantastic hexagon background one from November!
I love the flower on black cardstock. Not that I don’t love all your cards.
I loved the march and August cards, I love any cute critter or character. Thank you, so much I have seen so many new designers to follow so excited
I’m intrigued by your alcohol ink and resin art!
Wow-so many great cards!
I have to go with the super-hero
card from March as my favorite.
That sky is perfect! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Your work is very inspiring! I especially love your flower cards – the colorwork is amazing! Thank you!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Happy new year!
I love the card with the rollercoaster the most since they’re my faves! All of your cards are SUPER CUTE though!
I love the design on your cards and the colors used! My favorites are August and September! You have a lot of talent! Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous prize and happy new year to you!
Happy New Year! I love the critters reading card. The cuteness, colors and of course books are great.
Such a fabulous variety of cards, Jess! Your alcohol ink has been awesome this year, too! Thanks for the giveaway!

Happy New Year! Your cards are so vibrant and cute!! I have a tie for favorite – The Love You Big Time and We Fish You a Merry Christmas …
Every card is so pretty!
Having you for a friend and walking in a winter wonderland are two of my favorite cards from your collection, Jessica. Good luck with the launch of your shop!
There is something fun for all age groups and personalities! They are clever, attractive and colorful!
I’ve always admired your work, and wish you success with your new products! My fave card of the year (hope it’s this year) was the green ombre Hero Arts Eiffel Tower card with the beautiful gold dot stenciling! Thanks for the generous giveaway and Happy New Year!
I went back to your IG to see if I had a favorite card and, I must say, your cards are all awesome but I could stare at your alcohol ink work for extended periods of time. I look forward to your new adventures!
They are all beautiful, but I think “Walking in a Winter Wonderland” was one of my favorites. So darling with the falling snow! Thanks so much for all of your inspiration. 🙂
Your cards are amazing! You have a wonderful sense of color and blending. I think my favorite is the book card with the windows and the critters reading. Thanks and Happy New Year.
