Hi Everyone
Happy Sunday and happy 2017
I hope any celebratory sore heads are now starting to ease a little LOL!!
How are your new year resolution lists going? Are they far too huge and completely unattainable just like mine? Every year I make so many that I know I will fail on at least half of them .. .. but even if I only succeed on a few it will make me a better person than I was last year. That can only be a good thing .. .. so I always try.
Definitely no rash resolutions regarding my blog that's for sure. All I promise there is to do my best for I know once all the Christmas/New Year celebrations are well and truly over my world is going to be manic once again as the 2017 Spring weddings will be kicking in .. .. alongside everything else.
But two crafty resolutions that have stuck from previous years are to continue the never ending battle to use up my mountain of snippets (offcuts) and to always put an insert into every card as I finish it and package it up. So resolutions can become habits eventually!
So talking of snippets here are a few that I used up today
But one thing that hasn't changed is me being lazy on a Sunday and not listing my ingredients. As always though if there is anything you would like to know then please just ask away.
My card is being entered into Pixie's Snippets Playground Challenge where we are encouraged to use up any snippets of anything .. .. be this wool, fabric, card, paper etc.
I have also added a new sketch to my little sketch library (the tab is at the top of my blog). I used it for my card today .. .. and you are free to use it too, along with any others that are in my collection.
Wishing everyone a happy, and super crafty 2017
Oh my goodness, I have that stamp and I love it but I never thought about paper piecing it, me, who loves to paper piece. It looks stunning. The whole card is absolutely fabulous and thanks for the inspiration but won't look as good as this I am sure.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the resolutions, I have only made one and that it NOT to buy any more Christmas related crafty goody's. !!??

I don't make resolutions. lol Maybe I should, but I don't. I do try to give myself little goals but not really good with them all the time either. I just try to make the year better than last. Right now, that doesn't exactly work for me either, but....we keep on keeping on! Love this card Jules, it is just beautiful!!! I too try to use up my mountains of snippets myself. And to make more than one card when I have my supplies out. So doing duplicates so I built my stash of cards up! Especially Christmas card. lol I need to catch up on your sketches! Love them! Happy New Year Jules! Hugs, Brenda
