My crafty goals for 2019 are (1) make holiday cards all year long (at least two per month); (2) re-organize my dies; and (3) create ink swatches for my Distress Inks and Distress Oxides. Thank you for the inspiration and I look forward to more! Happy 2019 to you!
ReplyDeleteKathy, your cards are some of my favorites --- always so beautiful! I'm not sure I have any crafty goals for 2019 except maybe to try some new techniques and branch out from my comfort zone a little more.

ReplyDeleteIt's my first time here so I visited your Crafty Place page. Oh my gosh, my son painted his room that same color and we called it pepto too! He was very young and that's what he picked out. I love your cards and will be coming back again. I don't make resolutions anymore so I don't feel guilty if I break one.
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome tags and cards! I love your style! My crafty resolution is to work on organization!
ReplyDeleteWishing everyone a happy and healthy new year, filled with lots of creativity!
Thanks for sharing some of your projects. My crafty resolution is to be more efficient in my crafting: making lots of cards when I have my stamping supplies out so I have cards in supply. I love doing the really intensive coloring cards, but I get so behind when I only do those kind. Also, if I have a stamp set out, I might as well stamp 2 sets of images instead of just one. Little things like that to build up my stash so I have cards to send out in a timely manner. I am a new follower (a phrase I have typed a lot this hop; so many new crafty people!), and I look forward to seeing more from you in 2019!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! You are so creative! My crafty goal is to get all of my Christmas photos scrapbooked and make Thank you cards.I am now a follower of your blog - yay. Thanks for the fun and happy 2019.

ReplyDeleteYour crafty resolution about photography is wonderful...Your photography looks amazing to me and yet you strive to better yourself...which is so laudable!!
