Hi bloggers! Happy New Year's Eve! Last year I put up my orphan card post and thought I'd make this an annual thing. By "orphan cards" I mean those cards that I made that I haven't felt were either good enough or just didn't come out like I had envisioned so they were never blogged. So they are, in effect, orphans. Last year I drew a name from the list of those who left comments about the cards to win the cards and give them a home (so they were no longer orphaned!) If you feel like you can give a loving home to these poor cards, then please leave me a comment. I will draw a name and announce the winner on Wednesday's post. Have a safe and wonderful new year's eve! All for now, Sue x

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, any card made by you would be given pride of place in my house. You may feel they are orphans but to me they are works of art. Being able to blog every day with all these gorgeous cards has transformed my card making as you have inspired me to try different wonderful projects. Thank you Sue and have a very Happy New Year.

Hi Sue. The 'remembering with you' card I thought was beautiful to send as a bereavement card. May I wish you a fantastic 2013 and look forward to seeing more of your talented work. Regards. Linda x

Happy New Year Sue, Lovely job on the orphan cards and I would love to adopt one and although I am torn between all of them I quite like Remembering you and the Happy birthday one. Mind you they all have the Sue Wilson style. xx
ReplyDeleteHappy new year hope its good for you and your family tomorrow .Melanie
ReplyDeleteGM Sue - I would love to be the owner of a Sue Wilson original - these are just lovely. I would be a proud new parent indeed. I would hate to show anyone my orphan cards - they have either been binned they were so awful(a 'disaster darling' as Craig Revel Horwood would say!) or kept for A&E surgery at a later date. HNY and looking forward to more of your wonderful creations in 2013

ReplyDeleteJanet
Morning sue. Glad im not the only one who has second thoughts about their creations. One thing i have learnt is beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the person who gets the card loves it, so there is no such thing as a dud card.
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a very happy new year.
Janex
Nothing orphan to these cards in my eyes! They're all gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteHow can you call any of these cards 'orphans'. They are still full of your inspiration and techniques and beautiful. Don't forget that if when complete they are not exactly what you wanted or envisaged all are beautiful in their own way. We all are!!
Janet x
If these were my orphans then I'd be very proud od them! All 9 are lovely. Happy 2013 to you Sue!
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue
ReplyDeleteI also cannot believe any of your cards could be called "Orphan Cards". They are always turned our beautifully, and I would be very happy to receive on of your cards. I have sent many to the C & C show and they have been shown, so receive one from you would make my day. I love the black and red card seems to have an oriental theme to it.
A happy New Year to you and your family
Hugs

Hi Sue. Happy new year. It's a bit like going to a dog rescue centre-they all appeal and you can't make up your mind which one is right for you. You can't believe that no-one else wants them! Hope you have a great 2013 and I am looking forward to starting each of my days with a read of your blog. Ju
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, Happy New Years Eve to you and your Family. Don't think "orphan" is a good word for your beautiful and amazing cards. You do really really spoil us all.

What a fantastic way to end the year with not one but a veritable bevy of Sue beauties. Each and every one are beautiful in their own right and all so different and all deserve to find a home where I am sure they will be proudly displayed and If I am lucky enough to be chosen I have exactly the spot in my craft room.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Sue to yourself and your family and I look forward to 2103 and all your wonderful creations.
Whilst not all of the "orphans" are to my taste, I certainly like some of them. So......... here's a home for them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your fantastic work throughout the year and for giving all of us inspiration every day. I don't know how you do it but please keep it up.
A Happy and Healthy 2013 to you and yours, too.

ReplyDeleteHappy new year to you and yours. All beautiful cards. Love the irises but they all have a beauty of their own. Cant see why you say they are orphans !!!
Audrey x
Good Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see the cards you feel were not up to scratch for you, I have looked at them and thought 'they have definitely come out of the 'Sue' house, but they do look like you have not totally finished them for some reason, poor little orphans, hope they find a new home.
I wish you a Wonderful New Years Eve, Sue, hope you and your family have a fantastic 2013.
Looking forward to all the new ideas, Project books, blog posts, your never ending inspiration and the Ally Pally and Kettering shows, I am sure 2013 will be as much a whirlwind as 2012.
Best Wishes to everyone.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Michelle(happy2craft)
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh- you have very high standards so I guess I "get it" some of the cards are not quite as colourful as your usual designs but I think you are being very harsh I love the pretty pink one and the red and black are always a great colour combination but I echo everyone else's comments and agree they don't deserve to b rejected - I would feel very privileged to own one!
Hope you have a happy New Year's Eve
Alice xx
They are beautiful but I am overflowing already with handmade cards from others which I can't part with so please don't enter me into this draw as much as I would love them. Happy New Year and look forward to more of your beautiful work next year xx

Heres to a fabulous crafty 2013.
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteJust back after being with my mum for Christmas so have a few days blogging to catch up on but what a start. Each card is unique but we all have cards where we feel something is not quite right and others love them. We are all our own biggest critics but like all your friends here I like all your cards though some more than others.
Wishing you and your family and all your blog followers a happy and healthy 2013 and I know we all look forward to seeing where your inspiration takes us!
with love from Jackie D
Hi Sue, they are not quite up to what we expect from you! However, there are many of us that would have been happy to have made them!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great evening and can't wait to see what you come up with in 2013. Big hugs, Carol S.xx
Oh poor little orphans! But they're all lovely! My favourite 3 are The Red, Black and Kraft Happy Birthday, the I Believe in You and You Colour my World, closely followed by You are Loved and Congratulations with the other few close behind! There isn't one I wouldn't offer a loving home to!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and yours, Sue - and to all of you who love this blog as much as I do,

Hi Sue, I love the fact that you call these your orphan cards lol, I have plenty of them believe me, we all do it, looks ok in our head but on card NO lol. I wouldn't put yours in my orphan pile though, but I guess thats because you are so hard on yourself and when you make so many there will always be ones you arent sure of, gives the rest of us hope tho.
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to adopt any of your cards, they are all lovely.
Thanks for the inspiration throuout 2012, cant wait to see your creations for 2013.

Happy New Years Sue, to you & your family. I wish you all good health & success in all you do. As last year I love all your "orphan cards" & would have been extremely proud if any of my designs had come out as beautifully. I love the first card so much I have printed it out & popped it on my inspiration wall! The colours are just perfect. With love & light Theresa. H
ReplyDeleteSue - Happy new year - I particularly like the card with the iris's on - remembering with you - as I hve a few bereavment anniversaries coming up it would not be an orphan for very long. Thank you for some awesom ideas now I just need the time to practise them and play with my new dies.
ReplyDeleteSue...how can you say..'not good enough'??? I think they are fantastic! I would give them a home anytime...they put mine to shame lol.
ReplyDeleteHave a very Happy New Year and hope to see you soon.

Late comment today, Sue, had early trip to vets and wanted to have time for a really good look.
ReplyDeleteAs ever, each and every one diverse, original, beautifully crafted and full of new techniques.
Couldn't spot an orphan -
Pierced, pearled,
beribboned, swirled.
Poetry in spellbinders!!
Thank you for your inspiration and kindness in 2012 to us all.

Much love Shirley T.
Happy New Year Sue, hope you have a safe and healthy one,
ReplyDeleteCan't figure out why you would consider these cards "Orphaned" I consider them super and would be delighted to be the owner of any one of them,

Hi Sue, A Happy New Years Eve to you and all bloggers. I have taken the plunge as you suggested and joined your blog, so this is my very first blog one of many I hope! I can't for the life of me why your wonderful cards could be considered "orphan cards" I would be more than happy to give one or all of your cards a home. I look forward to the new year and seeing your beautiful creations. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and creations with us. WISHING EVERYONE A WONDERFUL HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR.
ReplyDeleteAwwh, these aren't orphans - not to me anyway, I'd be proud to say that I'd designed them!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely evening everybody and all the very best for 2013 xx
Poor little cards. Send them to me, I'll give them a loving "forever" home. Happy New Year for later and all the best for 2013 :)
ReplyDeleteHiya
ReplyDeleteWould love to adopt you're orphans, maybe a change of country would help them have a fresh start! (England)
They would be well looked after and a source of inspiration
Happy new year!

Happy new years eve to you Sue. I think all the cards you make are beautiful and wouldn't consider any of them to be orphans!

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteHappy New Years Eve to you Sue and all of the bloggers too.
I also think all your cards are lovely,It would be an honour to receive one of your orphan cards not that I would have called them orphans. Looking forward to all your creations in 2013.
Love Marion x
Scrolling down I thought: this is my favourite, and then: this is my favourite and it just went on like that. So no favourite - they are all lovely and definitely shouldn't be called orphans
ReplyDeletehi sue, don't know why any of these cards are orphans, i think they are all superb creations.
ReplyDeletehope you and yours have a very happy new year.

All gorgeous, as usual, I'm not quite sure why you "orphaned" them!

"Happy New Years Eve Sue!"

I know every single one of us would love to give ANY of your cards a good home and be proud to own a Sue Wilson masterpiece! Hear!Hear! Have a great night everybody and we'll all look forward to more of your lovely cards Sue xx God bless xx Love Karen xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteDon't you just hate it when that amazing design idea just doesn't come up to expectations - I should know it happens often enough to me - LOL.
My faves from these are the 2nd and 3rd, but I'd happily give them ALL a home.
You have many fans who appreciate what you do in order to 'feed' our imaginations. Thank you so much for your inspiration in 2012: Love and best wishes for 2013. Happy New Year!!!
Sue
Well I just can not imagine Sue Wilson ever having "orphan cards", that only happens to us poor mortals who start off with a good idea but it never quite looks the same as it did in your head. Wishing you Sue, your family & whoever reads this comment A Very Happy & Prosperous New Year & more crafting.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThese cards are beautiful Sue, and through them you have given us some great ideas.
Good Luck to everyone who is commenting on the cards some lucky person is in for a treat, fingers crossed.
Liz Turnbull.
Hi Sue,my favourite is the third,"happy birthday",but there should not be orphans at this time of year,I could always find room for these orphans though!!!
ReplyDeleteLove and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours and to all the blog followers. Christine xx
Sue,
ReplyDeleteThe card that has the sentiment "The difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do" just spoke to my heart. I read it and re-read it and re-read it. I have someone in my life right now who is struggling with some things and this card is perfect for him. I just about fell off my chair when I enlarged the card and saw the little footprints on the paper. This card is calling his name. :) If I win this card, I know it will go to a good home. This young man could use some wisdom from a card like this. Thank you for sharing. Oh, and the black and red card with the "Because I care" sentiment is just beyond gorgeous! They are all beautiful cards; those two just take my breath away.
Hugs,
Gail
Happy New Year to one and all and lets hope for a peaceful 2013. Sue your cards are stunning and the one o catch my eye is the Iris. But I'd be happy to receive anything from you. And if i don't I'm sure the Orphaned cards will go to loving homes. Karen xxx
