Hi there!! You asked for it, you got it!! Here is the Honeycomb Ornament Tutorial. Since we are past Christmas, I made up another ornament using a heart shape that I cut on my Cricut. It all goes together very easily. The most important thing to keep in mind is that you need text weight, double sided paper – the thinner, the better!  Cardstock is too heavy and doesn’t allow the gussets to give. Please make a trial one first before using your “good” paper.  Try the technique and experiment with different types of glue dots, some are too weak to hold and will release in a day or so others are more aggressive.  Trial and error is the key. Good luck!!

Want to check out the Spellbinders Heirloom Ornament I made with the same technique?  You can see it HERE.  Oh the possibilities!!! You should be able to do this easily with any symmetrical shape and with effort it can be done with other shapes. Have fun with it and feel free to link your creations back to this post. Thanks!!

Don’t forget, I have double play blog candy going on right now. Click HERE to go to the post to leave a comment to enter.

    Thanks for the tutorial…is there an extra word in the text instructions….i.e. cut 17 THREE hearts? I presume so……

  • Ginny K.January 4, 2011 - 10:53 am

    Becca,
    I loved your ornament and wanted to try it but I don’t have any type of spellbinders items, thank you for doing it with the heart from the cricut plaintain cartridge. I just received a cricut for Christmas and have been waiting for a project to use the machine. Now I have one. It will be perfect for Valentine’s day coming up soon. My grand daughters will love the honeycomb shape!! Thank you so much for your tutorials, they are wonderful. I have learned so much from your site and your beautiful cards give me inspiration to keep creating!!

    Thank you for the tutorial. This should make a fun card/gift for friends at Valentine’s Day.
    I find that you are several levels above your peers in your designs and the end results of a beautiful cards. You have a gift for seeing how a card should come together. Some are fancy but many easy to put together.

    Have you ever designed an infinity/endless card? I just found a tutorial and am having fun matching patterns so the cards looks very special for someone’s birthday.ReplyCancel

  • ChaunJanuary 4, 2011 - 11:25 am

    Yea! How cool is that. This reminds me of those tissue wedding bell decorations at weddings, etc. I was wondering how many layers to use, and I’m SO glad you said text weight, because CS is too heavy. I would have used CS, had I tried this on my own, and it wouldn’t have worked. It’s also great that you told us exactly where to stick the glue dots. Have you found a favorite brand of glue dot? If so, can you tell us, or is that not allowed? Thanks SO much for this!ReplyCancel

    thank you so much Becca. I have always wondered how the antique honeycomb valentines are made. I am going to try this with real thin tissue paper and lots of punches to see if we can duplicate the antique ones. You are so kind to share so much with us. Your work is simply the best. God has given you many gifts and we appreciate so much that you share them with us. You have been through so much and yet have handled it with so much dignity. You remain in my prayers. I know your heart is breaking

    Any chance you will do a tutorial on the butterfly accordion card. Even just the dimensions of the paper and where to cut would be helpful. I just love that card!!ReplyCancel

    Becca,
    Please forgive me for writing to you and complaining about the high cost of the Martha Stewart Double Arches Border Punch. I don’t know where the owner of the on-line site (where I originally found it) is coming from in pricing it at $75.00, but I found it at Michael’s for far less!.

    I certainly can’t find enough words to tell you how much I admire your beautiful cards and how thankful I am to you for sharing them with the public.ReplyCancel

  • Marcie SmithJanuary 4, 2011 - 1:00 pm

    Becca, thank you so much for sharing this tutorial with us. I just fell in love with your heirloom ornament at Christmas. Can not wait to try this and this heart is yet another beautiful creation.
    I think this is the first time I have ever heard you mention a cricut. Is this something new for you? Was it a Christmas present? If so, I think you are going to love it.

    Looks SO pretty and a super instruction BUT I got confused by your first sentence – I think you might have left out the word FOLD – cause I can’t see they are cut in half.

    Thank you so much for this Honeycomb Ornament Tutorial. I have been anxious to learn how you made such a wonderful design. I also liked Cathy A.’s idea of making half a heart and placing it inside a card. I learn something everyday I visit your site. Thanks for sharing. LindaReplyCancel

    I made the honeycomb ornament with heart shapes, but my glue dots aren’t holding. Any suggestions?ReplyCancel

I have double play blog candy going on right now. Click HERE to go to the post to leave a comment to enter.


Peeking in to say hi to you today!  I wanted to share a gift that was sent to me recently that I found absolutely captivating!!  The care and detail that went into the gift absolutely blew me away.  I may be living under a rock but I had not seen this template before but someone has surmised that I’m a calendar-aholic and hit the nail right on the head.  I hope she doesn’t mind me sharing her name, but Wanda Thomas sent me this jewel and I’m not kidding, I marveled over each and every detail for at least 20 minutes and promised some of my stamp club buddies that I would send a picture online.  Dearest Wanda, I hope you if are reading that you accept my thanks and also email me to let me know where we can find the directions – I’ll be sure to publish them and I’d love to make one.  Again, maybe many of you already know where to get this but I honestly don’t get to do that much surfing right now.

Check out additional pictures of this sweet, sweet project.

Wanda, your gift arrived before Christmas but Kelly and I live a bit of a distance apart so we make dates to catch up with each other.  Lately because of the deadlines I have going on, I haven’t been able to see her until just this week.  Imagine my surprise!!!

  • Mary MacJanuary 3, 2011 - 8:07 pm

    Becca, that super duper gift just goes to show how very much you are appreciated. Some people really show their appreciation in deeds eg Wanda. I’m a prime example of someone who is much more selfish with her time and just uses a few words to express gratitude. Perhaps I should consider looking into this for the New Year?

    Wanda’s gift is magnificent and must have taken a lot of time to complete, she sure is an example to me.ReplyCancel

  • Wanda ThomasJanuary 4, 2011 - 10:57 pm

    First of all, thank you all so much for the compliments. It was so sweet of Becca to share this, but as you can see from the ribbon and pearls, she is a considerable influence in my crafting.

    I e-mailed her some details on the project but I am an “ad-hoc” stamper and do not document things well. I’m hoping I gave her enough to duplicate and enhance along with documenting the process. Here are a couple of things to get you going. The easel/box itself was made from this tutorial: http://joaniscardsmadebyhand.blogspot.com/2010/06/easel-box-tutorial.html Every thing else seems standard to me except maybe the backgrounds on the flowers made my masking the flowers and using “scrubbies on a stick” for texture.

    If there is a part that you specifically want to know, you can e-mail me at wandathomas {at} att.net. Again, thank you all so much for the praise and kind words.

    I know each of you realize how much a handmade gift means to people and I encourage you to share your talents in the same way – to total strangers that might need an uplift. Believe me, it does more for you than it does for the recipient! Let’s all pay it forward.ReplyCancel

    Becca,
    Since it is a cold and snowy day out today here in Ohio I am working inside on my scrap room. I am working towards my goal of organizing my scrap room so that I can make my cards and do my scrap booking more efficiently. It will take some time to go through everything I have collected over the years, but I’m sure that I will find things I have forgotten about and it will be new to me again. Since money is kind of limited right now, it will be nice to find those old forgotten items from long ago and use them to create new exciting items now. It really is all about organization and ability to find things easily that will contribute to being able to get more done, quickly, and when the mood strikes!! I’m making progress little by little each and every day! ~Gin~ReplyCancel

  • Karen in DallasJanuary 7, 2011 - 2:48 pm

    Hi Becca
    my goal is to clean up after every project and to make more cards to friends and relativesReplyCancel

  • Yvonne NicholsonJanuary 8, 2011 - 9:45 am

    Hi Becca,
    I make some Easel boxes with calendar for my card making friends, and they loved them, they don’t like making boxes so thought they would like them.
    They were not as nice as the one your friend Wanda made for you, I love how she made different flowers for the months so you can change them, but how do you change them. I love making hand made things to give to friends.
    I will have to try the eseal box from the link Wanda gave you, it is a little different from the one I made, it looks more sturdy.ReplyCancel

Hi there, a little birdie told me that it was time to play Double Play on Amazing Paper Grace with the first word starting at 12:01am CST.   After all your patience with my comment issue, it’s the least I can do.  I’ve been holding on to this one until the beginning of the year and so I hope you’ll join me.

For the regular blog candy, here’s how it works.  The blog candy (shown above) begins now and ends on midnight CST on Thursday, January 6th.   Leave a comment telling me what your craft goals are for 2011.  You’re welcome to leave a comment each day on this post and the more days you leave a comment, the better your chances to win.  On Friday, January 7th, I’ll use random.org to draw a number for a winner and you have 48 hours to respond with your address.  If you have been drooling over the Grand Nestibilities created to work with Spellbinders Grand Calibur, here is your chance!!  The one I’m offering is Grand Labels One (one of my favorites).

Here’s how the double play works.  Double play is a bonus blog candy (shown on the left) that you can get just from visiting and grabbing a posted word.  Beginning on January 3 at 12:01am, I’ll publish a word on this post that you need to grab, just write it down.  The word changes at 12:01pm to the second word you need to grab, and then at 12:01am on January 4th to the next word and so on.  So the word changes at 12:01am and 12:01pm – that’s why it is called double play because you stop in two times a day to play.

Collect all the words!  For this double play there will be a total of 8 words.   If the blog candy winner can email me all 8 words, they they win the double play bonus otherwise I’ll pick another name which means someone else will have the opportunity to win the bonus goodies. Got it?

Thanks for hanging in there with me.  Thanks for all the wonderful comments on the new look!!  Good luck sweeties!!

WORD OF THE DAY

This will be the 5th scrapbook I have made for graduating grandchildren and is a much desired gift. I begin with the day they were born and end with their graduation day, usually around 50 pages. They can’t wait to get them. Secondly, I want to further my card making and branch out with new ideals and creativity. I love making cards – almost more than I do scrapbooking.

    My crafting goal for 2011, is to teach more classes. I try not to charge for my classes, so I want to try to give more classes, in crafting of all kind.Back in the day the older women taught the younger women all the different crafts, and they were passed on from generation to generation. I for one don’t want us to get away from that, so I try to give classes in stamping as well as many other crafts. It helps with their self esteem, as well as maybe for the first time they have been able to create something they were proud of. So your Blog candy would be helpful to have for that venture! ( I take donations too, lol)ReplyCancel

    Becca , I feel so blessed to have found your site and be a part of your blog family. You have brought so much into my own life.
    My goal for 2011 is to get my own blog up and running ( so I’d really like to figure out how you did your site hint hint). I felt that with all the things going on in our family that “someday” I would have the “time” but one day after reading your post I said no more “today” is the day so I started trying today to figure it all out. Thank you for giving so much to all of us even when you had so much going on in your own life.ReplyCancel

  • Penny ReedJanuary 2, 2011 - 9:10 pm

    My goal is to refine my style and reorganize my craft room. As my tastes change, I seem to acquire more stuff, and I realized I am not using a lot of the things I have from my beginning days. It’s time to thin our and let someone else use the stuff I don’t. Wish me luck!ReplyCancel

  • Deborah HooperJanuary 2, 2011 - 9:12 pm

    You know I can get every word but one each time. I’m going to try to do better this time.
    My goal is too weed out and organize and get more done (kind of what I’ve been trying to accomplish for the last few years).ReplyCancel

  • Barbara JayJanuary 2, 2011 - 9:15 pm

    I forgot to put in my goals for 2011 in my first post. I got a Digital Camera from my kids last Mother’s Day. I have looked at the manual , but never used it yet. :( This Christmas they decided to give me a little push and gave me PhotoShop Elements 9 and a tripod . My goal is to master that camera so I can take pictures of my cards . Using Technology is not one of my strengths. I am always afraid by pushing buttons and functions I will break something .

  • Wanda MJanuary 2, 2011 - 9:15 pm

    how cool—a GRAND die!!! love them but they are pricey…!
    My first three craft goals for 2011—>
    1. finish up organizing my digi stamps in a 3-ring binder.
    2. label my Spellbinder dies in my magnetic album and put a nice label on the outside called ‘Book of Spells’ It’s a huge leather photo album and I thought that name would look cool on it.
    3. decide what to do with all my acrylic and wooden stamps since I use only my digi’s now
    thanks for the op to win such a great stash of goodies!ReplyCancel

  • bonnie32002January 2, 2011 - 9:32 pm

    My goal for 2011 is to make one card a week. I know, I know, everyone else does a card a day. That seemed like too lofty of a goal. So much comes up that there is not enough stamping time in the day. So, that being said, I’m going with 1 card a week for a total of 52 new cards for 2011.

    Thanks for the opportunity to win some really lovely blog candy. I appreciate you and your artful creations.

  • Elin K.January 2, 2011 - 9:41 pm

    I too have been drooling over the Grands…just not in the budget I’m afraid!

    My three crafty goals for 2011:

    1. Continue to post every day on my blog.
    2. Plan and execute a stamping class each month.
    3. Actually send out my own cards! I sell handmade cards as fast as I can make them, so it’s a case of the cobbler’s children having no shoes (or worn shoes – I can’t remember which). Everyone I know sends beautiful cards with my name on the back…except for me!

    Thanks, Becca. :)ReplyCancel

  • MaryLouJanuary 2, 2011 - 9:41 pm

    I am totally addicted to Spellbinders. Love them all.

    One of my goals was to get all my spellbinders organized and I did that. I love the portfolios that Spellbinder came out with because I travel to friends houses with mine.

    My second goal would be to get organized but we are considering Foster Care so I have to give up my craft room. I do have stuff in somewhat of an order but not to my liking. Plus our house is a 15 year construction project.

    Last but not least I would love to meet you. I love your work and case it all the time. You are my inspiration.ReplyCancel

I want to find a style that fits me, (I don’t feel I have one, yet) and for that style to shine in my work. I am looking for inspiration and the more I look, the more I find it. Thanks Becca for being one of the people that inspire me!ReplyCancel

  • Cindy LouJanuary 2, 2011 - 9:51 pm

    Becca you are awesome! Love the candy, very nice!
    My goals for this year is to move my craft room around and make it more effecient, get rid of all the toys that I don’t use, and organize the stuff that I do. Hopefully the overhaul will leave me more time to stamp instead of searching for stuff ;). More stamping and cutting – more cards to make people smile and spread God’s love too. Just a little like you.
    Thanks again for your generosity and willingness to share dear sister!ReplyCancel

  • HeikeJanuary 2, 2011 - 9:56 pm

    My goal is to be ahead in my crafting this year not just to leave it to the last minute. I think I was still making Christmas cards on Christmas Eve day to give out that night. A close call but just made it in time. Your Blog inspires me so much with organization and such elegant card ideas I just want to try my hardest to make mine look elegant too. You have opened my eyes to using Nestabilities in a different way with weaving and layering its so unusual but elegant at the same time. Ok time to get on with my New Years resolution.ReplyCancel

  • NancyJBJanuary 2, 2011 - 9:56 pm

    Hi Becca,
    What a great opportunity! I have my fingers crossed!
    My main crafting goal for 2011 is to get and stay organized, and to actually use the products I have. Of course, I know I will buy new products that I find simply irresistable, that scream my name, that I dream about having, but I am determined to use the products I bought during this last year, instead of patting and admiring them, then hoarding them. I especially have this problem with patterned paper and pretty embellishments. Wish me luck!

    Becca,
    That is a fab question to start the year. My regular resolution is simple…not loose my keys…so my crafting resolution/goal/inspiration may actually help with it…simplify my craft room (clean it up, in other words)…maybe I won’t lose my keys in there so much.

    I have but just one goal for 2011 – Just to continue to pray hard so that God can hear me and help me to find a doctor that IS willing to help me with this horrendous pain in my back, both hips and both legs and feet so I can once again craft like I use to do before this last operation ruined me and then I can make all those hand crafted donations for the breast cancer survivors in October and the needy children at Christmas like I have done for years. I really missed not being able to do anything last year but pain can take your life away in more ways than anyone can imagine and mine is so bad that I couldn’t even decorate for the holidays.

    SAVE MONEY BY

    2. Spend more time Crafting then I won’t have to buy a last minute card for someone.
    3. Carefully read Becca’s Blog and take notes. Then I won’t waste time looking for that “special something” I know I saw on there and would be such a good idea.

    Dear Becca,

    I just recently found your website and simply love all of your beautiful cards. I have watched your tutorials on Becca Bows over and over trying to get mine to look as good as yours do. I’m not a techy kind of person so I wasn’t sure what blog candy was or how to go about trying to get some, but I am going out of my element to try to win the items shown, the nestabilities, they look amazing. Plus , Santa brought me a new cuddle bug machine this Christmas and I could use new dies for it so I am hoping to get the words for the double play and submit to try to win. But even if I never win, I am already a winner because I found this site and gain knowledge from all of your great designs and hints and get loads of creative inspiration!!

    Becca,

    I love your cards and even more the strong Christian faith that just radiates from everything you do. My craft goals this year is to be able to craft more. I was bogged down at work last year from late spring until the beginning of December working 70 or more hours a week so I grabbed every snatch of spare time I could to craft. Now that I can breath again, I want to try all the new techniques I can. I love to ‘play’. I have a purple Wizard and the Grand Calibur. Both have their place in my crafting. I don’t know what I did without them. I’d love to win the grand calibur dies. Thank you again for being such a wonderful example of Christ.

In 2010, I sent over 700 cards to Operation Write Home for the troops to use and in 2011 I would like to go past the 700 card mark. Another goal is to send out more RAKs. Thanks for the beautiful cards you post everyday!ReplyCancel

    Good morning, Becca….. the sun is shinning here in northern Indiana – only for awhile; I’ve heard that we are getting an ‘artic system’ moving in from the northwest later today. No worry – weather happens.

    Another goal for the new year: to organize my stamps according to use – all Halloween specific stamps together, Christmas stamps together, etc. I know there are many that can be used throughout the year, so I will need to keep those separate, too.

    Hugs.ReplyCancel

    Becca, you are SUCH a generous soul. Not only do you bless us with your amazing creativity, you also provide us with opportunities to win lovely prizes! Thank you! I have several “crafty” goals for 2011, but at the top of the list has to be to get my own personal blog up & running, and to NOT be afraid to just jump in and POST on it. Your lovely new blog has inspired me to go out on a limb and try it. Blessings to you/yours in 2011!ReplyCancel

    Becca, such nice blog candy!!! My craft goal this year is to scrapbook my wedding (June 19, 2010), my honeymoon right after that, and the cruise we took in December 2010. I have not been able to scrap for a while, life just seems to get in the way!!!! Also, I lost my craft room (boo hoo!!) to have a place for my step-son to sleep when he stays with us, so I need to organize all my stuff again that is now housed in the dining room, which we really don’t use for dining anyway. Thanks for your generosity with the blog candy!ReplyCancel

    Here’s my comment for Monday! Hmm…I don’t really have any more scrapbook goals for now, so I’ll tell you another goal: I have so much extra weight on me (I’m 45)–some from prednisone–some because I am a stress eater. My husband is also overweight (only 35) and already is on high blood pressure medicine. So, I am motivated this year to have us both lose some weight–trying to get him off of the HBP meds…

    Thanks again for a nice giveaway! I’m going to really try to get the words this time… wish me luck ha haReplyCancel

    My 2001 craft goal: I want to use my making of cards for encouragement to the ladies in my church and others. Once a week I will send a card to a lady in the church letting her know I am praying especially for her all week long. Of course I do this anonamously because it isn’t about me, it is about her knowing that someone is lifting her name up to the throne of God and that she is being thought of by someone. I’m looking forward to this.

    Oh, what fun! To get to try to win and get goodies & watch your inspirational ideas at the same time. I only have two craft goals this year and I’m seriously attacking them starting today. 1.) to get my craft room back to organization. It was at one time and I have no idea how it gets in such disarray so quickly. 2.) Make more cards and send them on time. I get in there when it’s urgent and deadlines are near. That’s not how I want to stamp. I want to organize so it takes less time to get started and then I have time to play and make cards ahead so I be more creative and can always have one ready to send.ReplyCancel

No more digging for what I need, then taking it out to the dining room table to do my project because I don’t have a clear space to work on in the craft room. It’s a whole room, for pete’s sake, and I’m still going to the dining room table! I need to focus on that first, before I can move on to my other crafting goals.ReplyCancel

I’ve really bought so much more than I could use in the short period of time I’ve been making cards so my goal for this year is to pick up one or more of my goodies and use it/them as the inspiration for a card or two or three as often as I can. In other words… just use what I have instead of buying so much new stuff all the time! LOL!! I have so many Spellbinder and Sizzix dies and embossing folders that I’ve never used… not to mention a huge paper stash and inks and, and, and…. well you get the idea!ReplyCancel

I intend to take everything I will no longer use, (my over indulgence), to my local centre for the disabled.

    My Goal for this year is to really get back into the groove and actually scrapbook, but not just scrapbook because I feel I have to. To actually put my heart into it. I feel as though it’s a job lately and I don’t enjoy it when I do get a chance to.
    So because you are my inspiration I’m going to make time for myself to do what I love, because it makes me feel better inside.

    Here in Ontario, Canada, we are having to have all public buildings updated to allow all people with a physical handicap total accessible by Jan, 2012. Though our church building is just under 30 years old, our front doors are just 1 to 1 1/2 inches too small. The newer electric skooters have a hard time getting in. Our basement is also not accessible. Therefore, I asked the pastor if I could make greeting cards and they sell them for $3.00 and all the money can go to help the renovations. I love making the cards but could always use a reason to make more.ReplyCancel

  • MickieJanuary 4, 2011 - 11:44 am

    I have another goal to add. I have so much “stuff” on my plate with a disabled husband and now his disabled mother plus I have a brother who needs looking after and each morning I pray for the Lord to give me strength to get through the day. Seems I am always neglecting me birthday list and since I dearly love all on my list, I am setting a goal to take at least one hour a day to make the cards and have them ready in advance. Does that sound reasonable, it does to me just can’t figure out where that hour is going to fit in. LOL.ReplyCancel

    Becca, thank you for your generosity in offering blog candy. I have to admit that when I returned from the mission field, I had no idea what “blog candy” was — but, I quickly learned (ha/ha). Anyway, another crafting goal I have for this year is to make and send each of my four children (and their spouses) a card once a month — not just on birthdays and special occasions. They love getting my cards. And, actually, my daughter has said she’d rather have one of my cards than a gift.ReplyCancel

    I bought a Grand Calibur just before Christmas and it’s still in the box. Life has just been too busy. I’m sure you know how that goes. Our daughter jsut headed back to college this afternoon for her last semester and our son headed back on Sunday from a brief leave from tech school for the Air Force. Next year, it looks like he may be in Japan and our daughter may be in Brazil, so I needed to make the most of the little time that I had ith them.

    I would like to pull my Grand Calibur out of the box and learn how to use it effectively. I also have a W025 mat on order to be able to do embossing folders with it.

    Thanks for the awesome chance for blog candy. That would be AMAZING to be able to win a Grand Nestability. Wouldn’t that be just grand?!? Sorry…couldn’t resist.

    Hello Becca,
    My craft goals for this coming year are to make the time to sit down and use all the wonderful craft supplies that I purchased this past year. I must admit that I have quite a stash, beautiful papers, punches, dies and embellishments that I am just itching to put to good use.
    Thanks for all your inspiring ideas!

    Hi
    I keep poping back to get the new word (and check out back items)
    It has now gone 9.30pm here in Blighty (4.30pm) over there;0) and still no change since first thing this morning. Am I missing the plot? Nearly my bed time so I may miss the new word.

    Another of my crafting goals for this year is to make more cards ahead for my card stash, so I don’t have a mad scramble at the last minute to make a card when I need one. I’ll have to stop back a little later to try to snag the second word of the day, as it hasn’t changed yet from this morning.ReplyCancel

I think as we get older there are less hours in the day than when we were younger. :) I so want to take the time to play with all my scrapbook paper and nesties. I am a horder and I can’t pass up buying something at Michaels or Hobby Lobby or JoAnn’s. I have such a stash and most hasn’t even been touched except when I put them into my cart to check out. I hope my goal this year will succeed and I can actually do some papercraft.

I am part of a small group that makes cards for service personnel deployed overseas that are from southcentral KS. We have been dreaming of new tools and items to play with as we make the cards to send over. Thanks for the easy to follow tutorials.ReplyCancel

    Drats….I am always flying half of the time when you are doing this double play thing and never get all of the words. But it is still fun to check in and see what everyone is writing about. I love your site Becca…you always inspire me.

    I really need to quit dawdling my feet and get the rest of my recent purchases inventoried and put into their proper places before the next batch of goodies I ordered arrived.

    I also would like to be able to make more cards and be able to donate them to the local nursing homes for the residents to use. Something useful for them that doesnt take up a lot of space yet something they will use. Lose weight, gain more tolerance…the list goes on and on….hugs to allReplyCancel

    another good morning from northern Indiana, Becca. Slight dusting of snow on the roads this morning and the prediction is for 8″ over the next two days. I doubt we’ll really get that much, though.

    Another goal for me is one that I share with my granddaughter. When she was 8 I got her started sewing and she’s now 14 and hooked. She’s been playing around with my stamps and has learned basic care of the stamps, so if I follow through with my first goal of keeping my stamping area clear, then my next goal (and her’s) of having her stamp more will be easier for her to complete. A win win situation for both of us.

    You continue to be generous, Becca!

    Becca, a few more crafting goals for this year….I started a blog a few years ago and it fell to the wayside. I would like to get that up and running again. Also, would like to start an Etsy craft store for my crafting items. And…yesterday, I actually went through the stuff in 2 cabinets and cleaned them both out…one goal accomplished so far!!! Yeah! Thanks for inspiring us, Becca!ReplyCancel

  • SoniaJanuary 6, 2011 - 7:01 am

    I would like to be more organized in making my cards. It would be nice to have a bigger stash to raid when I need a card so I do not have to make one at the last minute. Of course, that will never totally happen as there will always be people, events, occasions that arise, that can not be prepared for ahead of time, but at least I can have more available at a moment’s notice.ReplyCancel

I have taught card making for the past 15 years and even though now housebound, I still make time for some of my nearby students to come to my home. I had 55 drawers of supplies and now down to 28. I am still very interested in creating. At 88, I am looking to moving to an apartment and continuing to teach. May we always see the beauty in creating.

  • ChaunJanuary 6, 2011 - 9:50 am

    Yep, “shoveling” my craft room resolution, which has mostly turned into piles of stored fun things. I actually prefer to work on my arts and crafts in the tiny den, because then I’m not isolated, and can visit with my husband. But what happens then, is that one-by-one, the items get dragged into the den. I’m usually in a hurry to get to the next project, and am not very good about putting away before I start on the next one. I make birthday cards for all family, right down to the great nieces and nephews, friends, some of the people at church, and a lot of get-wells for people at church and friends, and it seems lately, a lot of sympathy cards. It would really help me get more done if I could organize to find my stuff, but I feel so bogged down that I don’t even want to begin, or know where to begin!ReplyCancel

  • Karen WeddingJanuary 6, 2011 - 10:03 am

    One of the many resolutions for scrapbooking this year is to stay organized. Once I get my craft room remodeled. I want to keep everything put away and my workspace clean, so I can be creative at any time without having to clean off my space first.ReplyCancel

  • SherylHJanuary 6, 2011 - 11:14 am

    Probably my biggest goal is to “just do it” — to just sit down and make a card or other stamped project. I tend to overthink everything and then end up only making a card for a specific occasion, not just because. All the best to you and your family in the New Year, Becca!ReplyCancel

  • NancyJBJanuary 6, 2011 - 11:19 am

    I started organizing yesterday. Have so much more to do but have a nice stash of cards ready so I don’t have to worry about making cards for awhile. I might just sneak in a card or two along :-) Can’t go long without making one. Thank you for all your beautiful creations.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca! My craft goal for 2011 is to not wait until the last minute to make the necessary cards needed throughout the year for various friends and relatives birthdays and other special holidays. Once I get into my craft room and start working on something, whether it’s a card or an actual craft project, I hate to stop for meals or anything else, it’s just getting down there and getting started. To me it’s not enjoyable to “have to” make a card under pressure. I sure hope that I win these fabulous Double Play prizes … that would definitely be starting 2011 off with a bang!ReplyCancel

  • Ginny K.January 6, 2011 - 2:26 pm

    When the end of each month comes around I will be able to C who’s birthday is the following month, signtheir card, address the envelope, put a sticky note on top when it’s 2 be mailed and put in my out basket.

I’ve already submitted a crafting goal for each of the previous days (which will keep me plenty busy — ha/ha), but at the risk of being over-ambitious I’d really like to organize a group of ladies interested in making cards to send to our troops, as I know what it’s like to live in a foreign land far away from family/friends and having to miss birthdays, holidays & special occasions (and seldom getting mail).ReplyCancel

I’ve started organizing embossing folders, Spellbinder dies, inks and ink pads and everything else. but have never really finished any of those jobs… like the labeling I like to do since I’m visually impaired.

I stopped to work on supper. The dogs were outside and barking like crazy, but they do that sometimes. They came running in the house. Still didn’t think anything about it until I walked into the room I had been working in. They brought in a dead squirrel. Hubby is not home yet. There went anything else getting done tonight. I’m not going in there. You would think that if they brought it in, they could take it back out.ReplyCancel

    wow, i am so excited – this is the first blog candy that i have successfully got all of the words. so, i just have to get picked. and even if i don’t i have so enjoyed reading many of the other comments and goals from other crafters. it seems that there is a trend among the creative souls out there, we are not always as organized as we should be. it would be interesting to see how many were able to achieve their goals at the end of the year.ReplyCancel

    This has been fun…and ˆ have been all over this…how is it I am missing 2 words if all words have now been given out!. Can’t wait to see the final word list.

    Another goal…I need to be better about putting my craft goodies away when I finish with them. My work area is the living room floor, the bedroom carpeted floor and my desk…where the computer is, that I share with my hubby. Oh, how I dream of winning the lottery and adding a craft room onto the house my hubby built 7 years ago. He built this home with the expressed thought that there would never be a women in this house on a regular basis. I real bachelor pad…no Ooops! Times they were a changing…I love my hubby!ReplyCancel

    I will try to use some of the paper pads I’ve purchased. I bought tons on sale along with back ups and I’m running out of space to store them.ReplyCancel

    Fun! I think I missed today’s earlier word :( Love the bloglift, looks good.ReplyCancel

  • Tina Hdz.January 6, 2011 - 11:30 pm

    Beautiful card today!
    I need to start using up all the paper I’ve been buying and hoarding, lol :)ReplyCancel

    Oh Becca I so envy your talent. You just pull together all the elements and they blend so nice. My attempts at making cards is so grueling and to make one card it takes forever. I do not have very many stamps and they are just ones I picked up on sale or the dollar bin. I try to do my wording for the cards using my computer and then cutting them out with nesties to create a card. I am always measuring and trying to get the wording to fit inside the nesties. I hope with time my card making gets easier and comes together without my struggling so much. That will be my crafting goal for this new year.ReplyCancel

    Another wonderful day…lots of snow! I hope someone who never wins anything, wins your prize…have a wonderful day…thanks for sharing Becca…..another goal for me is to stop procrastinating and to create a blog and post some cards….Hugs to you…ReplyCancel

  • MArtha NicholsonJanuary 7, 2011 - 12:06 am

    Becca this has been a techno nightmare. I know 4 words. While other say they have 6 words. Either way it is so fun to play and learn along the way. We always learn so much from your blog. If I won the prize my husband will have to buy me the Grand Calibur so I can use the wide dies. He says he will if I win but not until. LOL I guess I’m not getting a Grand Calibur. But all is well. ThanksReplyCancel

  • PatonslakeJanuary 7, 2011 - 12:28 am

    Well, I only got the 7 words, ah well. Best of luck to allReplyCancel

  • Susan GJanuary 7, 2011 - 1:34 am

    Good evening! (or morning, LOL)

    a main goal is to get my craft room/studio to become a reality…unfortunately this really depends on other people in my family, since I have disabilities.
    we’ll see what happens.

    Another of my many goals, after getting my craft room organized, is to have a good friend of mine over for some card making. I want to introduce her to the joy of papercrafting and some of my wonderful crafting tools and show her how much fun it is to make pretty cards, scrapbooks and gifts. Thank you so much Becca for your inspiring blog!!ReplyCancel

  • HeikeJanuary 7, 2011 - 4:02 am

    Woohoo All 8 words collected. Sure did surprise myself.

    Now back to my craft room and clean up/sort outReplyCancel

  • Laura RiosJanuary 7, 2011 - 5:15 am

    I only got 7 words too. best to everyone else…ReplyCancel

  • Sheila - UKJanuary 7, 2011 - 5:27 am

    Gosh I’m so pleased I’ve managed not to miss a word. Another goal of mine is to make sure I’ve got all my birthday dates in order so that I am never late making and sending a card. Good luck every one.

    Love Sheila xxReplyCancel

    Good morning, Becca. After snowing all day yesterday, we awake to icy roads and about 2″ of snow with more lake effect snow on the way.

    Another goal – to always take a photo of cards that I create. I think I will remember each card, but that’s really not realistic, so a permanent record will be my goal.

    Thanks for the opportunity to play for these Blog candies.

    Hugs.ReplyCancel

  • Val WJanuary 7, 2011 - 6:38 am

    This has been fun, and I even managed to collect all the words this time.
    For today’s crafting goal, I want to make more cards to give to our church’s card ministry. Our women’s bible study circle sends cards to home-bound church members. They really seem to like it when I make and donate cards for this, but I just don’t do it often enough.ReplyCancel
