Happy New Year's Eve!! Following in the tradition of years past, every last day of the year I post my "orphan" cards. This is the term that I give to the cards that I have made during the year that just didn't "sing" to me when they were finished! For one reason or another, they just didn't work so I was never pleased enough with them to put them up on the blog. In short, they need a loving home! Someone that will care for them and not just bury them in a box! Each year, I give away the lot to one person whose name is drawn from those that leave a comment on this post. However, just so you know, I am still looking for one of these cards, so not sure if it will be complete lot yet or not. So if you feel that you could give a loving home to these cards, just leave me a comment. I will draw the winner and announce it on Friday's blog post (Jan. 2nd). Have a safe and Happy New Year! All for now, Sue x

Poor little orphans, my door/Letter box is open wide & I'll clear a space on my craft room shelves for these lovely darlings to come live with me & they would be loved & cherished very much....
Love them all sue & would be very proud to re-home them for you...
They're all beautiful in their own way...
Thank you so much for all your hard work & inspiration throughout 2014 & I wish you a very Happy Crafty New Year & look forward to more of your beautiful creations in 2015...

Hi Sue,
These all looked lovely to me - I'd gladly give them a good home and certainly wouldn't bury them in a box!
I could definitely give these gorgeous cards a VERY loving home!! Some would hang on my Wall of Honor so that I could see them every day (especially the three butterfly cards) and some would be sent to the most special people in my life on the appropriate occasion. They are the people that would most appreciate a card of this caliber and would also cherish them.
To have this many of YOUR cards at my fingertips would be an amazing feeling.
I so hope that I am the lucky adopter of these so that I can give them a wonderful home but to whomever the lucky new parent is I will be glad.
Thank you for the chance to dream of being that person!!
Happy New Year to you and your family! Enjoy your visit to the states!

They are all lovely and I wish each and every one of your followers good luck in the draw
I would also like to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy and Prosperous New Year
Love Theresa x
Let's just say some of these cards are very very different in their color as well as designs!
Hi Sue,
I just had to check in today as I love "orphan card day" lol!
As has been said already - my so called orphan cards finish up in the waste paper basket! Yours may not exactly sing to you but they are still whistling a happy tune! I would happily give one a home!
Thank you so much Sue for a wonderful twelve months of beautiful cards,inspiration, fun, friendship and care. Thanks too for designing such beautiful dies and and sharing your expertise. Thank you for this great blog - the Best - it must be very time consuming but it is so worthwhile.
Steph - I agree lets get the numbers up!
Jan - so very sorry to hear about your husband. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
Debbie - happy Birthday for tomorrow. Hope you have a lovely day.
Have come away for three nights and relaxing which is lovely.
Since it is New Year's Eve I would just like to wish everyone on this blog all the very best for 2015. Thinking of those who are suffering pain, grieving or lonely. Special hugs for you.
With love to people I've never met but feel I know - if that makes any sense!

Happy New Year!! I would love to give a home to your orphans Sue, thanks for the chance to win them : )
I would willingly give your cards houseroom, Sue, they would make beautiful displays, hope you have a happy and peaceful New Year xx
Hi Sue. I would be thrilled and honoured to give your 'orphans' a home! Your standards are so incredibly high and I love everything you produce.
Thank you so much for all you give us, and my fingers are crossed! Happy New Year to you and yours.
Sue Sibsey
Poor little orphans abandoned by their mother and hoping to find a caring and loving home. I would be happy to adopt any one of those wee souls but have to say Sue what is not to like about no.6 and no.11 they are gorgeous! I love everything about them especially the colours.
I think your new years eve giveaway is surprising in the fact that you give all the cards to one person rather than split them up. What a prize to win!!!
Thank you for all your hard work to make this such an inspirational blog with so many friendly and helpful people on it, hope you and your family have a happy new year.
I can't believe that you don't like them enough to have put them on the blog as they are all totally stunning and gorgeous.I would love to give them a very loving home.
None of my friends and family make cards so I never receive a handmade one. I would proudly display them and I am sure whoever is the lucky person to get them will too.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND EVERYONE ON THE BLOG.
AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE HELP YOU HAVE GIVEN ME AND FOR REPLYING TO MY EMAILS
Sue, I would be proud if my cards came out half as good as yours. Happy to give any orphans a home!!
Happy New Year to you and thank you for all the inspiration this year.
Lotsa luv

Happy New Year! I have recently found this wonderful window into the world of card making and it is so inspiring to peek in. To me these cards all look stunning and I would love to be able to view them up close to benefit more from your obvious skills and experience.
It is fascinating to read the other comments and see how far across the world this blog travels. Wishing all a happy 2015.
Emma
These cards are lovely. I particularly like the two thanks cards.
Best wishes and God Bless you in the new year.
Andrea in DRIFFIELD
These cards may not sing for you, Sue, but as far as I'm concerned they are singing loud and clear. Some of them are even dancing. I'd love to adopt them. They would brighten up my craft room no end. Thanks for all the inspiration you have given us during 2014.
Sue, this is a beautiful collection of cards! I would love to give them a home! I hope you have a terrific New Years Eve and wish you a wonderful 2015! Thank you for all the inspiration!
Hope you have all that will be good for you and your family for 2015,
I would love to look after your cards as they will giveme such inspiration!

I cannot believe that these wonderful cards are
orphans they are really lovely. I would love to win them and give them a home so please add my name to the list for the lucky draw
These certainly don't look like orphans!!!!!! I would feel privileged to give them a good home, Sue!!!!!! They are ALL gorgeous!
Hi Sue
I can't imagine why you wouldn't show this collection of beautiful cards, and if I am lucky enough to win them I will share them with our other Wilsonetts. I would keep one for myself to go with my lucky wednesday winner this year and do a lucky dip and send the others to other Wilsonetts that I know would give them a good home, "Orphans no more".
I have found such lovely friends on your blog Sue and thank you so much for that, and the unending inspiration you give us daily in abundance.
AND Steph!, you Minx. I know you have a word for your cards and we have a laugh, but in no way shape or form do your stunning cards come under that category and I wish you had a blog so that people could see what you do and put us all to shame at the amount you do and the quality of your work.
I wish to Sue and all you lovely Wilsonetts out there, a very Happy Healthy & a Crafty 2015.
Kind regards to all :-)
Tina XX
i must say that most of them sing to me Sue. i especially love the kraft card ones, the black one and the one with the music score.
here's wishing you an even better year in 2015, hugs xx
These are stunning Sue. And well worth a loving home. Happy and healthy new year to you and your family. Liz Spooner.xx
Hi Sue, These cards should never be classed as 'orphans', they are each beautiful in their own way. My absolute favourite today is the music background and the pennants, I absolutely adore that one.
I would love to welcome them to my home.
I would love to wish you and all A Vey Happy New Year.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue,
I get the title you have given the cards .The idea is there but didn't quite make a statement.But still truly not that bad.It just goes to tell you that we can come up with good ideas even though they don't come out as we expected.
Thank you
Dorotyy
Hi Sue.
I can see how these differ fron your usual style but I like them, the colourful ones are what I like to do. A lot of cards for just one home though, perhaps you should share them?
Will you be at CHA in a few weeks? They mentioned it on C and C today, the said it's in California so wondered if you'll go to take yor dies to the world!
Sorry I missed you Norah. I'm sorry you had another bereavement. Thinking of you, Jan Craven and others who recently lost someone special or for who Christmas is an anniversary of a bereavement.
I had a lovely day Monday. My three best friends all here, dogs going nuts in the garden. Even Mr W had a friend to talk to as one of my friends husbands was there too. I managed to stay "well" for their visit but after the problem with my neck went into overdrive which causes lots of different things but worst is visual problems. I was seeing double- still am but not so bad, had a very bad headache so couldn't comment. Improved enough so I can make ouf what I read or write, just in time too!
Thank you Sue and all the Wilsonettes for welcoming me to this blog, cheering me up when the pain and boredom are at its worst, supporting me through the hospital treatment, giving me somewhere to vent when it didn't work, Sue, you inspire me and when I can't craft I can read what you did and it's almost as good as doing it myself! I feel I have a group of people who understand the things that are part of my life. Blogging feels like I'm talking to a roomful of friends. I love reading all the comments too. A happy new year to every one of you with hugs a plenty and extra if they're needed. Billy sends wags and woofs to all the four levged friends out there too
Have a lovely new years eve/ hogmanay and see you all in 2015
Love and hugs to you all,
T x
god Sue some of these are masterpieces to me ,like them all ,Laura O
Dear Sue and all fellow Wilsonettes, I often am unable to post on here due to poor internet connections on the train to work but how I love to see your daily creations and hear the adventures of the Wilsonette family. It's been a tough year for some and I wish everyone a happy, healthy 2015. Thank you Sue for sharing all your wonderful creations with us, it's a great way to start each day.

Happy New Year Sue.
Each of these cards is lovely and a perfect representation of your extreme talent! Would love to send them to the special people in my life.
Hello to you from rainy Florida. I've had orphan cats, but never an orphan card so I'd be pleased to give them a home. I would even share with my friend who just got our first Sue Wilson die! See, we share all our crafting supplies. That makes our collection twice as big! Thank you for the offer and I hope we win. Myra from Florida
These cards are lovely. I particularly like the two thanks cards.
Best wishes and God Bless you in the new year.
Andrea in DRIFFIELD

How could you possible put these poor orphans up for adoption Sue? I would love to give them a caring home - good luck everyone. Thank you for a year of fabulous blogs Sue, you are so generous with your inspiration. Happy New Year to everyone, I hope 2015 is a happy and healthy year for all of us. Pat x
Wish my 'orphans' were as lovely as your's Sue. Would love to offer them a home! Receiving just one of your cards would be a treat but to receive them all would be bliss! Happy New Year to you, looking forward to lots more inspiration in 2015. xx
Good evening Sue and the wonderful Wilsonettes,
Sue, I will never understand how your beautiful orphans never get to shine and have their day, but that will be the perfectionist in you. Rest assured each and every one of them deserve to be loved and are I think you have seen today definitely thought as highly as our gift that you give us each day. I have come in to thank you and ALL the beautiful Wilsonettes for the care and friendship that you have all given to me this last year and especially this last few months. Please, all my beautiful Angels have a lovely night and I hope that 2015 is a better year for all.
Saba, my thoughts are with your lovely sister and you as she goes through this terrible time. I send love and prayers to you both.
Thank you and love and crafty hugs to all my dear Wilsonettes friends,
Norah (glenochil village)

I know that feeling................ however...... the cards are lovely. Have a lovely new year and prosperous 2015.x
I would be thrilled to be the lucky winner and give these lovely cards an appreciative home. Wishing you much happiness for the New Year and thank you so much for the inspiration that you give to all of us.
At first I wondered what you meant by "Orpan" Cards then I realised they are "Orphans". You underestimate these beautiful cards, every single one of them is a Sue Wilson GEM. I would be very happy indeed to give these wonderful cards a loving forever home. Happy New Year to you. Nx
What a treat today anyone would be delighted to give them a home. Thank you for all your wonderful inspiration over the last year Sue, and wishing you and your family a happy, healthy and prosperous 2015. Very best wishes Edwina
all your cards are inspirational and I wold love to give your orphans a home
happy new year to you
best wishes from Judith
I love your cards, I think the second card in Kraft card with the colourful flowers on is my favourite of all these beautiful cards. Happy new year to you x
Best wishes from katie-Louise sweetlove
Would love to give these cards a home. Thanks for all your ideas.
Happy New Year.
Susan McG x
They may not have sung to you Sue, but they're singing to me right now. I guess we've all made cards that haven't quite lived up to the picture in our head at the time. :-(
Happy New Year.
Happy new year Sue & all the Wilsonettes.
JazzaC x
Sue,
I would love to give the orpans a home. I think they are amazing. I am going through a difficult medical situation and most of the cards would be perfect for my caregivers, I know they would love them. I hope everyone has a peaceful New Year.
Happy Crafting for 2015 to you Sue and everyone!
Orphans, they are not. As you can see we are all happy to take them home and cherish them to a very old age and I'm sure I could move my son somewhere else so they Can come to me asap.lol! Wish mine looked half this good ,if not in the bin they go.
Norah,Jan C and to everyone else who have lost someone dear, you are all in my thoughts. If you are ill yourself or have someone close to you who are suffering at the moment you are also in my thoughts and lets kick the big C to hell and don't come back!! Hugs to all of you.
Sandra,Wheelybad,ToB,Nannatina,Janet,June,Lynda,LynneM,Cheryl,Ita,Pam,Steph,Brenda,Sam,Craftynanna and to everyone on Sue's blog A huge HAPPY NEW YEAR Wilsonette's ! Nearly time for the fireworks,

Hi Sue. Not been around much as I'm on dialysis now and it's certainly taking its toll on me. I'd love to have one of your cards, or more, to help raise funds for kidney research. Happy New Year to you and yours!! Love Karen xx

I would be proud to give your orphan cards a home. Love Ruth x
Happy New Year Sue!!! I have 3 hours and 40 minutes before it's New Years here!!! OMG I can't believe you called these absolutely gorgeous cards orphans! I would be proud and overjoyed to own one or all of them! Thank you for all of the knowledge and inspiration you give all of us! May you New Year be filled with wonderful things in your future!
How sweet you are to give away some of your cards. Love all the work you do.
I love every single card it give up new ideas of what can we create. Thank you Mrs. Sue for your hard work and shared it with us. Waiting to see what you will bring us in 2015.
God Bless Every one of the Wilsonette. Happy New Year ladys.
Hi Sue,
Can't seem to find my blog from last night so apologies if it appears twice. I'm sure your beautiful orphan cards won't be orphans for very long as there are plenty of open doors waiting to give them a ood home. A Very Happy New Year to you and your family , and thank you once again for all your. Hardworking and dedication to us all . Hugs jean xxx
Wishing all my sister wilsonettes a very Happy, healthy, and peaceful new year .

Hello Sue, what a very generous guesture. Why you think these cards are "orphans" I don't know, I would be proud of any of them. May I wish you are yours a very Happy, Healthy, Prosperous and Creative New Year....yours cards would be very well looked after here! xx Carol
..I'd adopt any of them Sue, thank you for sharing them with us all. Craftihappiness to everyone and love from Pearl.
Happy New Year Sue! I was so thrilled when the Cosmic Shimmer Flakes arrived in my part of Canada this summer and I was able to take a class. I think I have watched all your videos since then. Everyone thinks I have to be at least half hummingbird the way I take to anything that shimmers or shines - LOL!
I am visually impaired but started stamping when I had all my sight so I just kept on going. I have assisted tech for my computer so your cards are very large and I can see all the embossing and almost every other detail. Things with wings, a little bling and anything else to decorate paper is welcome in my home. Your cards are all so beautiful in all the elements they contain and large in size. I think that is what gives them that WOW factor. You have inspired me to save up for a machine that can handle such large cards. I will look forward to see what you come out with next in your wonderful line of stamps, dies and embossing folders.
Best wishes for a Healthy, Happy, Crafty New Year.
Glenda D
Dear Sue I always struggle with your orphan cards because I love all the cards that you make.
I want to say an Happy New Year to you and all my blog friends. I cannot wait to see what new creations that you will bring to us in 2015.
Take care love Michelle S xxx
Hi Sue. Can't believe you thought any of these as unworthy. Your worst is way better than my best of the best. Thank you for all you have shared in 2014. Big hug

I would willingly give these orphan cards a warm and loving home - lol xx Wishing you a very Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year xx GailT xx
