Jessica Frost Ballas – You are here!
I really like your choices from May and July. May, because I’m a fan of Stacey Yacula, and July because I just love flowers! Thanks for being part of the hop!
I loved seeing your favourites Jess! Love the inspiration you bring to me!
I’m a big whale lover so the January card is my favorite and I like the October one too!
I’ve loved your cards for a while and it’s hard to pick a favorite
I love March and May’s cards. Great use of the stencil and different from any other usage with it at night. And, the scene in May is adorable and a great use of perspective in the card!
Hi Jess…I always enjoy seeing your creations, and while it’s hard to choose just one, November is definitely one of my faves.
I cannot possibly choose just one. I loved March, November and December the most.
Wow, your cards are amazing. Love your style. My favourite is the coloured flower on the black background, but then I also love the colourful honeycomb background one. So many lovely cards to choose from. Thanks for the chance to win.
Wow, your cards are amazing! I love the rollercoaster card, though – my favorite!
Your cards each month were, fabulous – the bright fun colors just brighten anyone’s day! You love color, and it shows!
I can’t pick just one!
Gorgeous creations, my favorite is the gorgeous flower on black background in September!
I love your July card. Beautifully done Lily and fabulous background! Happy New Year!
How can we pick a favorite? 🙂 I love your cards. You always do such a great job. If I had to pick out of these ones though, I think I would pick the whale card because I love whales.
Thanks for being such an awesome source of inspiration throughout the year. This is a fantastic blog hop everyone is so generous! I am always looking for new ideas to use my shadowbox die set so your cute Gusteau’s post from January does it for me! Happy New Year!
Definitely September. Black card with embossing and coloring are my new favorites. Watch you on you-tube all the time. Need to follow you here.
Love all your cards but I am very impressed by the Whale card in January!
I really liked the hello card with the lily. Love the contrast!
I like the February card with the mice.
That is a tough one as I like things about all of them. I was going to go say the humpback whale card as I absolutely love them and the card is very clean and I really like the colors, but the good friend/book card edged it out. I love the colors, the great big glasses wearing cute critters, and the sentiment! I love reading so that card is right up my alley.
My favorites have been watching you develop your resin skills and creations. I’ve loved the beautiful colors with special metallic touches!
Happy New Year Jessica! I love all of your cards but the dolphin card really speaks to me! it gives me such a feeling of peace and tranquility! Thank you for sponsoring the Season’s of Giving Blog Hop!
Happy New Year. Your cards are lovely.
I love them ALL! If I had to choose one I’ll go with August!
I am just discovering your site thanks to this awesome blog hop (Thanks to Cathy Zielske). I really like the hexagon hello, but love June’s card about friends and books. Absolutely love the sentiment! Thanks so much for the fabulous giveaway and I hope 2020 is off to a great start for you!
