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!!

Love the Grands! my craft goal is to get my spacious craft loft into better crafting condition!
Happy New Year, Becca! My craft goal for 2011 is to make cards for challenges – I am going to start with a goal of at least one a week – here’s hoping I can get that far!
My goals for 2011 are to continue scrapbooking my daughters albums and to make more cards.
Thanks for opportunity to win!
Happy New Year!
Just received a grand calibur for Christmas. How awesome it would be to start my collection of grand nestibilities. Can’t wait to see all the incredible things you will be doing with them. Happy New Year!
Thanks for a chance to win! I haven’t scrapped much the last few months! I hope to do more in the coming year!
Thanks!
Happy New Year Becca! This is a great opportunity… My craft goal this year is very modest, it is to make one new craft item each month (I know, life has really been that hectic)…. Hugs, Antonella :-)
Thank you so much for the opportunity.
Susan
My goal for 2011 is to get my craft room organized so I can do more crafting!!
Happy New Year to All.
Cyndy
Such yummy goodies Becca! My craft goals for this year…..umm…..once I move and get my craft area set up again, which will be a few months from now, I want to use up more of my older purchased embellishments, and make jars of of my own embellishments ready for any project. I’ll take pictures of them as well as their organization in jars and shelving.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Oops – forgot to say that my goal is to make more flowers and cards in general so I’m ahead of the game for a change!!!!
Happy New Year. My goal is to get my craft room organized. Thanks for your inspiration and generosity.
Happy New Year Becca. Thanks for the chance of winning those grand nesties.
Love those nesties! My goal is to get myself more organized so I don’t waste quite as much time looking for craft supplies that I “know are around here someplace!”
Wow Becca you are so generous! My craft goal this year is to try to post at least three times a week. i would love to post everyday but with my work schedule I don’t think that I can. Can’t wait to play Double play, sounds like a blast!
My goal is to get my craft room organized. It has gotten a little out of control this past year.
I love the Grands – in fact, I love all the Nestabilites. My goals for 2011 – I will be working hard to complete a scrapbook for a grandson who will graduate from high school in June. 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. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
My goal for the new year, is to try new techniques.
Thanks for offering the blog candy. I love the Spellbinder’s
Grand dies.
This looks like a fun twist on the blog candy! The grand nestabilities hold all kinds of possibilities! My first craft goal is to finish organizing and painting my craft room.
Hope it is a good year for all of us!
Becca,
Thanks for giving us a chance to win such fabulous blog candy. My craft goal for 2011 is to make a family scapbook for each one of my siblings. Hopefully they will be all done for next Christmas. Mary
I got a new die cutting machine that I need to learn how to use. It connects to my computer, so I need to get it all installed. Hope I can make really good use of this new toy. Thanks for the chance to win.
my goal for 2011 is to USE up what i have and rethink how i can use things in my stamp room in a different way…this should be fun looking for the words!
Hi Becca, Happy New Year! My crafting goal is to use my resources wisely, for good purposes.
Wonderful giveaway and would love to win. My craft goal for 2011 is to get more scrapbooking done with my family photos. Thanks for the chance to win.
I usually don’t make resolutions – but some of my thoughts for crafting this new year is to get all my birthday, anniversary, get well, and holiday cards done for the year by March…so far I have Valentines Day treats completed, Easter cards completed and treat baskets – prepped and Thanksgiving cards are done……..Have my ideas for Christmas treats ready to go – just need to collect all the supplies and have my Christmas card idea all set to go, besides those things, I am hoping to get a handle on my craft rooms and keep them organized! Can’t wait for the double play words to start! Always a treat to visit your blog and see your wonderful creations! Happy New Year!
Thanks for the chance to win some delicious candy…. I plan on actually doing MORE crafting in this New Year. I submitted some of my cards for a few different design teams and am hoping for the best. I love to create cards for the fun of it and of course for a specific thing/holiday, etc….
Thanks for all the inspiration you and your wonderful creations have given me over the past year….
Love the new blog! And love Double Play Blog Candy too!
My craft goals for 2011 are to pursue getting on a DT for a stamp company.
My goal for 2011 is to go thru my stash and start making cards with products that I “just had to have” but haven’t done so. Also use more of my different stamps. Love your site, Becca, and God bless you in this New Year and always. Pat
hi there :O) my goal is to use what i have in a more ‘expressive’ way :O) and to ink, rip, fold and glue my way to some nice pages!!!! :O)
i need to catch up but hey! ;O)
thanx again for everything
blessings
my goal is to make more time to scrapbook.
My goal is to spend more time in the craft room and spend less time on the computer looking for ideas to make cards. And after I make the cards I’m going to mail them to someone instead of saving them. Thanks for the opportunity to win great blog candy.
WOOOOOOOOOOOW awesome candy thankyou so much for this amazing chance of winning your candy i really appriciate it and love your work
hugs
Lorraine xx
I would love to win this candy since my Birthday is coming soon!
I intend to be more organized with my crafting……..and also finish a lot of unfinished projects!
Have a great 2011 Becca!
Hugs
oops i forgot my goal,it is to spend more time trying new inky techniques and of course to lose weight lol xx
One of my goals is to spend time at least twice a month making cards with a friend.
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)
My goal for this new year is to get back to my scrapbooking. This is such a great incentive. I so enjoy your creations. I love the new look of the site.
All the best in this new year.
My goal for this year is to make more cards using all the goodies in my stash. Not to buy anything new unless I absolutely need it, not just want it! LOL
Would love to try these nesties! Thanks for the chance!
wonderful blog candy Becca….my crafting goal for 2011 is to finish 2 scrapbooks this year. One is almost finished and the other is to scrapbook our 25th wedding anniversary cruise. I want to do it all with silver papers and embellishments to give it that silver anniversary feel.
Blessings to you Becca!!
Hi thanks for the chance to win (btw there is no word showing just a line through the box). My goal for the year is to start and finish my sons album
My goal this year is to sort out all my STUFF so I know what I have and not be surprised when I open a drawer and see something I haven’t seen in awhile.
My goal for this year is to set up a new craft room as I’m moving from Canada to the states. Thanks for the great blog candy offer.
Thanks Becca for a chance to win this terrific goodies! I have a few crafty goals for this year so I will post a different one here every day. First, I like to use all my stamps I have at least ones as I am getting a little behind with using them.
My craft goal for this year is to design one card per month
and make multiples of the design. I would like to start utilizing the MANY supplies I have been blessed to have. ~
Becca,
My Goal is to scrapbook more and try to bring my Grandchildren’s ( 4 of them) scrapbooks up to date. That will be a job. I take too many photos.LOL!!!
My goal is to really learn how to work with digital media in my cardmaking and also make more cards per month.
My goal is to actually get more cards into the snail mail system. I make them and just seldom get around to posting them. I WILL do better this year. Also plan on using more of my stash instead of purchasing new – sigh – that’s a tough one – giggle.
Hi Becca,
What a great blog gift. My craft goals for 2011 are to keep up on my new blog (i just got started) and feature the cards and items I love to create. One other goal is to organize all my stash and donate or sell the items I dont use anymore. Happy New Year.
Becca, this blog candy is fantastic. I have been wanting to buy these Nestabilities but the price has scared me off but if I could win them. Wow.
I have never used any before, but my goal, even before this , has been to try them. I want to make some cards to sell and these seem to make them more professional.
hugs,
Brooke
I love this nesties set! Thanks for offering the blog candy! My crafting goal this year is to make more cards for OWH. I was slack last year. I also want to learn more techniques and use them!
Happy New Year Becca. My plan is to get into some good crafting habits for 2011. First I will put everything away after I use it.
My goal for this year is to scrapbook my family history. I’ve found lots of family history information recently—pictures, journals, articles–things I didn’t know my Mom and Dad had!!! So…time for me to get busy and get everything organized and put into scrapbooks!!!
This is the legacy I want to pass on to my children and grandchildren. Also, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful talents with us. Very inspiring.
What fun! Looking forward to each day.
I keep a journal of allllllllll my supplies. Many of my stamps have only been used to stamp into my journal. Sooooooooo, I hope to use many of those “used once” stamps this year.
Jean McGee
My goal is to complete a weekly card….
Happy new year Becca. Love the site make-over
My craft goals for 2011 are to make more items that I can sell and save up the money. We’ve had a pay cut at work so it would help me with my rubber stamp purchases too.
Thanks for a chance to win.
Take care and Happy New year!
Debbie
Happy new year Becca. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your talents on your blog. It is much appreciated! My goal this year is to complete the projects that I start!
My goal this year is to make at least 3 things a month for a craft boutique my friend and I are having in the fall.
My goals are to increase my time with challenges and to try selling more cards this year. I will continue to check blogs of a variety of people for the different styles and examples! thanks for a chance at some yummy candy!
My craft goals for the year include selling stuff
What a nice surprise! I love your Double Play Blog candy activities.
A crafting goal for this year is to put all of my supplies back in their proper place after completing a card making session. This will be a HUGE goal to follow through with, but will help get me to my crafting space more often if it’s alreay cleaned up when I want to start a new project.
Hugs, Becca!
Oh, be still my heart — my 1st goal for this year is to save up my pennies to purchase the Grand Calibur, as my Wizard is 5 1/2 years old, so this is a fabulous blog candy! You are sooo sweet to offer such wonderful candy so often, Becca. I LOVE your new look, as it is just sooo you!
One of my crafting goals for this year is to create one card a day. Ever since I started working full-time my card making has taken a back seat. I joke with my friends and say that work is getting in the way of my crafting. Only time will tell if I can pull this off.
Your cards are just stunning Becca! I’m fairly new to your blog, and love coming every day to see what you have created!
I just love this game! And you are wonderful to offer such great prizes! My first resolution for this year is to finish the inside of my cards when I make them. I usually need birthday cards in a hurry and I rarely have finished them ready to use. So I’m going to try to finish my cards when I make them! Happy New Year!
My crafting goal is to organize, so when I go to make a card or scrapbook page I can find what I am looking for!! I plan on starting this week!! Love your blog!! Thanks for all the inspiration!!
Oh my, forgot to add my craft goal for the year!
That would be to make a card for all the family and friend’s birthday’s!
MY GOAL FOR 2011 IS TO FINISH MY PARENTS HERITAGE SCRAPBOOKS SO THEY CAN BOTH ENJOY THEIR 60 YEARS TOGETHER AND ALL THE HAPPY MEMORIES THEY HAVE HAD WITH THEIR FAMILIES. IT IS VERY IS IMPORTANT AS MY MOTHER HAS SCHERLADERMA AND DOES NOT HAVE THAT MUCH TIME LEFT. I REALLY WANT HER TO SEE WHAT A WONERFUL LIFE SHE HAS AND HAS HAD. THANKS FOR GIVING ME THIS CHANCE.
Commenting on your work is easy because you are truly blessed with much talent!
How exciting the first double play for 2011. I’m loving the grands I have one set so far. My crafting goal for 2011 is to try and complete one project a day, and to put things back after I use them. I always get so excited that I made something that I forget to put things back, well when I need to find the thing I want it is usually in that stack of things that I forgot to put away. As always Becca, TFS!!! Good luck everyone. :-D
Hi Becca,
Love the idea of double blog candy. That’s awesome! Thanks!
Been kind of busy with Christmas and all, but I have been meaning to tell you how much I love your new format!
My goal for this coming year is to work harde on my grandsons scrapbooks, as well as cards. Also looking forward to learning how to use some of the new things I got from Santa!
way cool !!!!
One of my crafting goals is to do a better job of making cards for family and friends. Another is to get a lot of my already started projects completed. I’m excited about the drawing and hope I can make my mind remember to keep up with it. lol
My goal is to use up all the “extras” I have set aside and make something beautiful from them.
As well, I forgot to add my comment. My goal is to be a better organizer and to learn many more ways to bring joy through my paper crafting.
My crafting goal for this year is to learn Photoshop Elements. I love designing my own paper to use on my cards. Hopefully, I can accomplish this!!!
love the site, I can always recharge my stamping bug when I come here.
I want to lean more about using spellbinders for 2011
I am hinting A LOT to my family that the Spellbinders Grand Calibur and all the dies would be a Wonderful Birthday present and you won’t have to decide what to get me if you know what I am saying… hint hint… ^_^
My goal is to have my first grandbaby’s scrapbook ready for all the wonderful pictures by the due date. We find out next Saturday if it will be a boy or girl, but I bought all the stuff for both when it was on SALE… Whoa Who… can’t wait. HAPPY NEW YEAR
WOW Becca I can’t tell you how excited I was to see your blog candy I’ve been dying to get the chance to play with the Grand Nesties Im adicted to spellbinders and your blog .I hope to make at least 1 card a day in 2011 to expand my knowledge of this wonderful craft.All the best for 2011
Oh I would love to win a set of Grand Nesties!! The Spare Parts and rose embellishments look wonderful . The additional items in the double play are also great and things I do not have !! Thanks for the chance to win !
My goal for 20ll is to be better organized in my crafing space. I have received so many good ideas from visiting you site. You are a constant inspiration. Thank you.
One of my crafting goals this year is to use the supplies that I have instead of just buying more stuff. I am a paper junkie and I need to actually make some cards with all the beautiful paper I have collected! Thank you for the chance to win such great blog candy, Becca.
Hugs,
Barbara in SC
Happy New Year!! My crafting goals for this year are to work on my scrapbook pages (again) and to get published!
Thanks for the chance to win!!
Wow, that would go great with my Grand Caliber machine that i got.. What a great blog candy item.
Happy New Year!!
Thank you for sharing … I look forward to doing more crafting … I would say in 2010 I crafted once a month and my new goal is at least twice a month. When I am creative … I really de-stress. Hugs, jennifer
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.
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!
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).
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 . LOL
My first goal for 2011 is to get closer to God. Then all the rest will follow… clean up my house…create me a crafting room and complete some of the things I did not get to do in 2010.
My goal is to be the person God wants me to be, be it organized or not……….just be me
I have so many goals this year but I would say number one would be to use the things I already have before “collecting” more! Shouldn’t be too hard,now should it? lol
My goal is to use more of my exisitng supplies than I buy (but that is soooo hard with all the new stuff coming out all the time :) You are just the most generous blogger with all the fun gifts you are always giving away. Happy New Year!!
WOW Becca, what SUPER BLOG CANDY!!!! HOPE I WIN!!!! :)
My “Crafting Goal” this New Year of 2011 is: To be FRUGAL with my SPENDING!!!! NOW, that I understand “my style;” I can easily pick & choose what I want to buy to make my creations!!!! Saving my poor husband from thinking I’m spending us into oblivian!!!!!!! LOL
My goal is to stay ahead of the game and have dozens of cards already made so they are there when I need them. Cross your fingers that I may be able to reach my goal!!! :-)
One of my other crafting goals, besides the embellishments, is to enter more challenges and maybe even try to submit some projects to a magazine!
Hi Becca! Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous blog candy. My crafting goal for the year is to submit some of my work for publication.
Thanks for the opportunity for some blog candy. You are generous and I am hoping to win!!!
my craft goal is to use more color
thanks for sharing
Oh Goodness Becca what a wonderful candy you are offering!!! And the double play should be fun!!! Hope I don’t miss a word!!! LOL!!!
Okay, I have 3 goals in mind: GET ORGANIZED, learn as much as I can from Becca, & USE MY STASH.
Forgot to tell you my crafting goal!!! I plan to get my craft room better organized! I started today so maybe I can do it!!!!
my goal for life is to enjoy it more – I have 3 kids and find myself going through motions but not really enjoying – time to start enjoying.
for crafting I aim to use my supplies, and organize my scrap room.
Thanks for the fun Becca!
Sandra
We should be giving you goodies w/all your creative inspiration you give us! My goal is like everyone else’s…..organization! LOL Wish me luck!!
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!
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.
Wow! Great blog candy. I can hardly wait to start collecting “words”. My craft goal is to use more from my stash before I “need” to buy more supplies. {Hugs} Peggy
Happy New Year! My goal is to get all birthday cards made enough AHEAD of time so that they do not have to be “belated” birthday cards. LOL
My goal for 2011 is to finish my craft corner (Hubby building for me) so I can unpack all my card making stuff and get going. Thanks for the chance to win the Grand Nestabilities…Love it!!!!
Yippee another double play…..One of my goals this year is to take more time to make cards. Thank you so much for sharing.
as always i want to organize my crafts to better use what i have. thanks for the chance to win.
Stunning blog candy! So very generous. My goal for 2011 would be to get cards sent on time. I make them and then don’t get them sent?!? So to the out on time! Thanks for the opportunity for the candy.
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. :)
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.
My goal is to dream, spend, and eat less and craft more. (That is called a triple whammie wish list).
My goal, among many, is to perfect my skills at crafting. I want my work to be more clean, more elegant, and yet reflect me in design. 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!
I don’t have any number goals really but I would like to make at least one card a week to send as an encouragement to someone. I’d also like to do more for Operation Write Home.
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!
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.
My goals are to get better organized so that I can enjoy the time I have to craft. I am so un-organized that I waste time looking for items I need to make the cards I want to make.
what cool blog candy.I would like to organize my craft room!
One of my goals is to be more organized.
One crafting goal I have is to get my Christmas cards made before Thanksgiving.
I hope to make better use of the blog started (now) last summer. I have only posted maybe 6 times…I know I am bad. Time to do better. Maybe this time I will get all the words…time to set alarms on the phone!
My goal for 2011 is to buy less crafting supplies and USE MORE of what I have! Happy New Year.
My goal this year is to get my Christmas cards done on time. :) Thanks for a chance to win.
I love the butterfly card. And what a wonderful blog candy for the New Year. Ho0pe you are well and you have a wonderful New year too.
I hope to make better use of the blog started (now) last summer. I have only posted maybe 6 times…I know I am bad. Time to do better. Maybe this time I will get all the words…time to set alarms on the phone! Becca you are an AMAZING talent in this papercrafting world…thanks for the inspiration and learning here at Amazing Paper Grace!
My goal for the new year is to ORGANIZE my craft area.
Kate
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!
Donna G
Becca,
I have enjoyed your site from the get go.. and love your Becca Bits..
Good luck and God’s Blessings..
I want to learn how to design with SCAL2 and MTC using me cricut machine.. which I love.
My goal this year is to post to my blog every day and to post a new card each week. I also want to become more proficient with all of the equipment I purchased in the last two months of 2010.!!
I am a paper junkie so my goal is not to buy any new paper until I use ‘most’ of what I have!! A biggie for me!!
Thanks for a chance to win.
My goal for this year is to use up my paper stash that I have and not to buy anymore. So hoping that I win, Becca. All the very best to you in 2011. Lainee
My craft goals are to always be inspired to create!
Becca….I love your new site..and all your wonderful cards… I really would love to win any of the Grands…..My goal for 2011 regarding crafting is to try to get more organized…and use more of the items I have in drawers and cabinets in my craft room……I try to do that every year..Maybe this year will be the one when I really accomplish my goal… Thank you for everything you create and share with us…You have touched so many lives with your blog…..
Texie
Thanks for a chance to get some blog candy.
I want to submit my artwork for publication. I’ve been chicken up until now, so this year I want to give it a try. And I want to start my blog. I’ve been setting it up for some time now. All I have to do is start posting.
I want to keep up with my blog better. I also want to do a better job of filming my ATC cards before I mail them back out to all the participants. It is so hard to film so many cards, but I need to for them.
Thank you for always inspiring me to create.
My crafting goals for the new year include, learning more about my Cricut, using all my current supplies and stamps more instead of always buying new, and learning more about blog posting. Thanks for the opportunity to get some blog candy!
Thank you for the chance to win such yummy candy. My crafting goal is to get moved into my new craft room and have it stay organized (I need to stay organized too!)
Hi Becca – my crafting goal for 2011 is to be a Guest designer for two or more of my four favourite blogs – I won’t say where or I may be seen to be grasping, enough to say they are blogs that run challenges are are incredibly inspiring…. and som are Christian ones.
I love your blog too, and follow every entry, but tend to lurk a bit. you are inspirational with your grace and strength of faith.

Hi Becca hope you are doing well. My craft goal is to have the energy at the end of the day (with having to little ones under three) to use all my goodies – scrapbooking, nesties……… the things we dream of when we are watching Mickey Mouse for the one hundreth time!
My craft goals for 2011 are to make 100 cards for Operation Write Home & to finish my Project Life album.
Hello Becca, hope you and your family are fine. My crafting goal for 2011 is to organize my craft room so that I am able to find everything. I also hope to learn new techniques and use them.
My ambition this year is to venture out in my card making beyond digital. I want to learn how to use all those fantastic products like Flower Soft etc. I got a Grand Calibur for Christmas so I’m ready to roll!
Gonna try again to do this. This time on a new computer. See if I can get started posting again. Feel so bad that my comments are not getting thru. Will be fun to play this one.
My 2011 goal is to find more time for myself in crafting and all other “myself”
things. Taking care of Grandma. Or “Mema” as the grand boys call me.
This is such a cool giveaway. I absolutely love your cards. You have such a sweet talent. I especially love the scripture cards.
2010 wasn’t a very crafty year for me due to planning a wedding for 3 months then having 7 months of marital hell. Now that it’s just me I want to craft, craft, craft. I’m covering a box right now to get prepped for altering so it can hold all my truths from Soul Restoration that starts the 11th. In June I plan to attend ScrapNspire in Utah. AND anything I can travel to in between. I wish I could do something at least twice a month on my weekends if its within driving distance. And I want to craft, HaHa, ms.cheryl
my first goal is to clean my craft room!
A new year — a new blog! I enjoy so much seeing a new creation from you!
My goal for this year is to organize my craft room. It seems like I am always looking for something.
I want to also have some time to play with the new Calibur.
Oh yum! I just purchased a wizard and have fallen in love with these dies. So my goal is to perfect my new toy, practice and perfect some of the awesome cards I have seen with these cool dies.
Organize, organize, organize! I plan to implement some of the great storage ideas you have shared with us over the last couple of years, and will try to get my area in shape! Thanks for the great candy offer.
Hello Becca, Happy New Year to you and your family! I think my crafting goal for 2011 will be to be better organized and start doing tutorials on You tube. (Now thats a scary goal). I do not own any of the Grand Nesties, so winning that would be awesome. The other prizes are cool as well. Thanks for the opportuniy to win.
Craft goals for 2011…. oh! I would LOVE to be able to catch up on scrapbooking my son’s first 5 years. Sadly, I have only scrapped 5 pages in five years. sad, right?! I have some serious catching up to do. lol
THANK you for all you share and do. I love seeing your creations and being inspired by you.
Happy new year! I hope to organize my craft room.; I’ve already started my punches a al Becca sytle. When I retire, I hope to try more creative styles.
Happy New Year Becca!!
One of my crafting goals this year is to have an actual crafting area in my home where I can keep & organize my crafting supplies all together. In my current place I am sharing a rented apartment so I have stuff stuck in boxes all over my bedroom and have to pull things out from everywhere to craft, which is quite the ordeal. I’ll be moving in a few months and I’m SOOO looking forward to having my own little crafty space! Thanks for the opportunity to win :)
Happy New Year Becca!!
My crafting goal for 2011 is to more organized so that I may make
more cards. THEN share those cards with friends, family and donate many to special causes such as Operation Write Home.
peace and health
Hi Becca
Happy new year. one of my crafting goals this year is, that I finally get my own Craft room in the house.
hugs Linda
Hi Becca!
My crafting goal for this year is to be more organized and plan to make at least two card a week. Maybe try and buy some Copic sketch markers. I use Distress ink re-inkers at the moment.
Hugs Maz
My crafting goal is to get one of my cards published!
Happy New Year! One of my new year’s resolution is to use items I have been hoarding, I mean collecting. I would love to say, like many of the ladies have, that my goal is to organize, but my friends would die laughing. Since I’m rather attached to my friends, I think I better just stick with the first one.
Yippee! A chance to play and win those goodies! I guess my crafting goal for 2011 is to get things more organized and play more. My worktable is so cluttered that I even hate to go into the room. :(
Thanks for the chance to do a double play!
I would like to try and do some scrapbooking or card making everyday.
I hope to really get back into making cards and scrapping.
Also I hope to remember to take pictures of my projects BEFORE I give them away!
Happy New Years Becca!!
My crafting goals for 2011 would include continuing keeping up with my blog postings as I have been. I would also like to sell some of my cards. I owned a rubber stamp store for 14 years and never had time to stamp for me. But, last year, I made over 225 cards, and of them, I have over 100 that I haven’t given away and that I could sell. I just hate to let my favorites go. Your blog always inspires me and gets me in the creative mood. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
My crafting goal for 2011 is to do more with my card making and enter more challenges. I also want to use more of the bits and pieces of ribbon that I’ve been collecting over the years.
One of my craft goals is to organize my craft room so as I can be more productive & not buy doubles sometimes even triples. Ah, how the mind ages…
This sound like fun…I am here all the time anyway…to get inspired and enjoy your beautiful cards…its my favorite time online. Thanks Becca!
cool prize! My first craft goal for the year is to make more cards. One of my ongoing goal is to make at least one card with each stamp set I have.
easier said than done!! :P
Becca, you always come up with the most fun contests! My goals this year are to enter more challenges, and to do more layouts and not just cards. I also plan to enter more publication calls. Thanks for the inspiration. Happy New Year!
I just want to craft! That is my goal. Thanks
My goals,
1. One hour a week, organizing my room for the next 52 weeks.
2. For every other swap, I wil use DP from my collection.
3. Catalog my Punches.
4. Catalog my stamps, 2 hours out of a month, and place on spread sheet
Joan
My goal is to finish what I start…LOL
Thanks for the opportunity, this new year…. I love all those sumptuous stuffs in display…. Droolworthy!!!! Well my goals are to move a step ahead, than the last year since I began with crafting…. I wanna improve with my approaches to it, with some amazing goodies of course to help in the process….. Warm Hugs & Lots of Wishes to u…. :)
Ash….
Well it’s 12:05 and no word yet..:(
My craft goal is to move into my recently completed craft room addition and get everything organized so I won’t have to remember which place I have which supplies stashed (and to finally clean off my dining room table:o) We haven’t eaten there since I got the card making bug from a good friend 2 years ago!
My craft goal for 2011 is to make a card set each month to donate to the cancer foundation to help raise funds for this worthy cause…have my January set already so that’s a good start,
Thank you Becca for giving us a chance to win this super prize as my Mam would say “your blood is worth bottling”
All the very best
Susan
Ok…I thought while I was waiting for the first word I thought I would ask…how do we get your email address, so we can send all eight words at the end? Thanks for the info…Hugs to you…
oh, not only are you wonderfully creative but always very generous with your blog candy. after reading most of the 170 comments above mine i know i am in great company with my goals for 2011 – organize my craft room, keep my work table clear by putting away everything after using them, and to master using the digital resources i have.
My crafty goal for the new year is to include stamping on my scrapbook pages and to scrapbook more. Love your new blog!
What a nice way to begin 2011!
Sounds like fun! Thank you for your generosity.
My craft goals? I am going to try to start selling cards. I make so many of them and it’s about time I tried to make a go of sharing my creative talents. Fingers crossed! :)
Thanks for sharing all your ideas and talent Becca.
God Bless in 2011. Cynthia
What a nice thing to do Becca – thanks for the opportunity!!! My crafting goal in 2011 is to use the stamps I have (a lot have never seen ink…yet)!
Jan Castle
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.
Blessings to you in 2011.
Eli
One of my craft goals for 2011 is to just make more cards. I’m not going to set a certain number because I probably wouldn’t reach it, but I’ve collected way too many crafting supplies and haven’t used many of them so I have to start making more cards!
Becca, Your generosity is overwhelming. Thanks for the chance to win. Wishing you a happy new year. Teresa E
My craft goals for the year 2011 is to get more layouts done. Sundays after church is a great quiet time for me and I plan on using that time to work on my cards and layouts. I would love to be more creative with cards and Becca yours are just simply gorgeous.
Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Marilyn C.
Oh, I have lots of craft goals! I plan to send out homemade birthday cards to all my family this year and I also plan to get up-to-date on my scrapbooks, which will take some doing!
Great blog candy again, Becca. I just ordered a Big Shot so I plan to try to do more die cutting and embossing this year. Don’t know if the Grand Caliber dies will fit, but I’d love to win them to give it a try.
Thanks Becca for the chance to win some fun blog candy! My goal for 2011 is to use up all the scrap pieces of DP that I’ve been hanging on to for years!
Hi Becca,
My goal is to organize my craft room. I have stuff scattered all over the place that sometimes I don’t even know what I have anymore. Happy New Year!
My crafting goal for 2011 is to make time to begin cards early enough to have time to get them all done wit enough mailing time! I would also love to learn more of your fantastic techniques to make amazing cards. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us.
I seem to make more purchases than I do cards, so my main focus this year is to use what I buy. Your creations are always beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win.
My crafting goals for 2011 .. I would love to become more organized so that my space looks neat and clean! Notice I didn’t put the word ‘always’ in there! Thanks for the chance to win Becca, and I hope you’re going to tell us your crafting goals for the new year as well!! Thank you so much for your generosity!
Wow! My goal is the same as Mary’s…and I took before pics yesterday and when I’m done I’ll take the after pics.
my goal for 2011 is to make and complete the request of cards from family and friends and get them out in a timely matter….and of course as every crafter would say…”use what I have b/c I keep buying”
thank you for the chance for the fabulous blog candy…..
A fun way to start the new year Becca. I guess my goal for ’11 would be, like half the rest of the crafting world, to actually make more cards, rather than just thinking about it while I drift through various blogs.
Hi and Happy New Year to you Becca. This year my crafting goals are to find ways to use up my overflowing bins of scrap papers and also experiment in some different craft medias. Thank you for offering the wonderful candy to us. Michelle
My goal for 2011 is to use what I already have and do it in a timely manner. I am so inspired by the ideas you present to us and want to do more with the dies, stamps and paper that is taking over my back bedroom!! And I really like the new look of your blog, Becca. You’re amazing!
My 2011 craft goal: Be “Grateful” for all the supplies I “Do” have and use them more. I love buying new things and you always inspire me, Becca. But I don’t use what I have enough.
My craft goal is to make a new card everyday. ANd try to keep my craft room clean. And become a Certified Copics Instuctor.
My crafting goal for 2011 is to make a lot of cards in advance, instead of waiting until I actually need a card. I will leave about 1/2 of them without sentiments so i could add as needed.
Thanks for the opportunity to win some nestibilities. I dont own any.
Maria
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.
But God Bless Becca for all of her great ideas – the ‘Becca Section” in my note book is pretty full right now!
Becca, Thanks so much for the chance to win these great items! My craft goals for 2011 are to find the time to make some of the great cards that I’ve seen over the past year and to use the supplies and tools that I’ve accumulated. Thanks again!
Great prizes. Maybe i’ll be the lucky one this time?
I have set myself two goals this year.
1. getting a craft space of my own.
2. Making as many cards as possible. I am starting to sell my cards :)
What a great prize ! My crafting in 2011 Will I hope be a little bit more organized. A blessed New Year to you Becca .
Another goal of mine is to write and mail out a card that I’ve made each week.
Another goal for me will be to keep my work place neater. {Hugs} Peggy
My craft goal this year is to send in more sumbissions.
I have several goals for 2011. I will list one each day. My first goal is to organize my craft room so I can meet my other goals.
Happy New Year!!! and thanks for a chance to win some blog candy!!! I hope I can keep up with the Double Play this time. I always manage to miss a word.
My number one goal for 2011 is to make more scrap book layouts! Thanks Becca for the chance to win some candy.
My goal for 2011 is to finally organize my craft room and my time and to enter a few challenges, this is a good start.
Wow! What a change to your blog. I love it and also the new nesties look wonderful.
Happy New Year! I have several goals for this next coming year. The first one is to get organized. My craft room, to catalog my stamps and tools so at a glance I can actually see what I have.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Blessings,
Catherine
BECCA BECCA MY 2011GOAL IS TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE BEAUTIFUL GREETING CARDS WITH THE MATERIALS I HAVE IN MY
CRAFT ROOM AND TO LEARN TO RETURN ITEMS BACK TO WHERE
THEY BELONG. YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THE FIRST GOAL BUT I
HAVE TO LEARN THE SECOND ONE MYSELF.
CYNTHIA
Hallo Becca
Ik heb eigenlijk geen doel, ik wil gewoon verder gaan op de weg die ik nu ga, daar ben ik heel gelukkig in, en genieten van al het moois dat u maakt.
Groetjes Gerda
Another of my crafty notions, is to go back to basics—something like the one layer card and KISS (keeping it sweet and simple).
My crafting goal for 2011 is to stamp at least once a week. Good luck!
Great blog candy! My goal is to organize my craft room better.
Thanks,
Robin
I just love your blog and your beautiful work. It is always fun to come by and see what you have created and now you have made it even more fun with the blog candy! How sweet of you!
Opps, I forgot to post my goal! My goal for 2011 is to organize my craft room!
WAUW what a great price, and one I would really love to win, as I don´t have any of these yet LOL.. My first goal is to get my new craftroom all finished, so I can finally get some much needed space here LOL. The one I have is way too small, so I almost spend more time on looking for, what I need, than actually to use them LOL, so that is a very big goal for me right now.
Thanks for the chance to win. One of my first goals of 2011 is to organize and inventory my craft room, which is in the basement….which means sometimes I leave things out, turn out the lights and come upstairs and forget about it until the next time I need to make cards.
I have the space and the lights so I need to take proper care of what I do have.
Happy New Year and God bless.
My goal would have to be to work on making better bows, and to put things back when I’m finished with them.. My work table top is always so cluttered, so keeping it straight!
What a great blog candy I have checked into the new dies but knew they were out of my price range.
My goal is to get things a lil more organized and try not to bolg as much (lol)
Jen
Wonderful blog candy! One of my goals this year is to create using supplies I already have. Clear out before I buy more!
I would like to keep my room a little more organized. It is usually in total disaray. Thanks for the chance to win.
Hi Becca my goals for 2011 is to try different techniques that i see on your and other blogs. Also to use tools that I have and not used for a while. Love your blog candy and it is something that I would love to own.
Hugs Trish.
One of my goals is to be more organised. Maybe then I could get more crafting done.
My first goal is to use – without adding to – my stash of ribbon.
This year I want to complete a set of Christmas cards by November so they are ready to be mailed in December.
Hi Becca what wonderful blog candy. My goal is to really sort my craft stash out as I really don’t know what I have…recently I realised I have doubled up on some things…also I might have a go at doing a blog (although mmost of my time is taken up with my Special Needs daughter so that maybe a no go…but I would love to try. Yours is as ‘amazing’ as your title and I would never be able to get any where near as close as that.
Ooops sorry I’ve waffled on a bit.
Love Sheila xx
I have already been organizing my craft studio. I have worked through the stamping side and now I need to finish the sewing side. After that, it is on to the projects. Make more cards and paper projects and finish a couple of quilting projects. Love your your website and the blog candy is great!
Oh Becca; love the double play, and thank U 4 the opportunity of getting this wonderful blog candy package.
Now my goal is getting my craft room more organized.
Thanks again Becca.
ColleenB.
One of my goals this year is to use more paper that I have and buy less paper!! Thanks for a chance at an awesome prize!
Jenny L.
Happy New Year Becca.
My resolution is to not get bogged down concentrating on one project when my mojo is flagging.
Happy New Year! My craft goal this year is to get my room organized so I can get back into scrapping and creating treasured memories of my husband who God called to himself this past Thanksgiving.
My goal this year is use some of the things I could not live without. Hope just saying it WORKS?????????
Stopped by again to pick up the first word :) this is so much fun!!
Hopefully to make more cards so that I can gift friends with them without it being their birthday or a special occasion.
Also need to prioritize and use the craft items I already have.
Have a great yr. Becca. I so enjoy your cards and love seeing that you give all glory to the Lord.
This year I will continue to recylce items into my crafts
I always see things and must have them, only they are still in packaging weeks later. So I must USE things i buy.
Thanks for the chance of candy, i love it.

My resolution is to use all this SCRAP paper I have, I’m a paper junkie!
Cheri
Good morning!
I need to organize, organize, organize. Thanks for the chance to win Becca.
I would say organize. But when I go to clean up I see something that I want to make and there goes another mess. I have to make Valentines for Ronald McDonald house. Thanks for the chance to win something wonderful.
May craft goal is to work using the supplies that I already have and not spend so much on buying things and not using them. So winning this blog candy would not be breaking that goal!!!!!
Thank you for the chance to win. Love your new blog. It inspired me to change mine also. My thing to do this year is organize and make more cards. I bought all kinds of things to make my own Christmas cards and then had no time to finish any. I will start now.
I love your new site! And I never thought about my crafting goals, but now that I do I think it will be to make more time for it and make a point of it not to let other things get in the way.
I found the ord it is: man
thanks this is fun!
I’m going to try to stop hoarding paper. Sometimes I buy papers that are so pretty I don’t want to use them.
Hi Becca.
One of my goals for this year is to spend less time on the puter and pay more attention to my home and family… more time getting inky!
I feel like I’ve been gone forever ! — after having the kids home for 2 weeks, I just didn’t have the time to blog surf. I love your work and your blog will continue to be one I visit !
organization is at the top of my craft room list this year. Happy Holidays
This is my first attempt at a Blog Candy. Here goes.
SAVE MONEY BY
1. Sort out my papers and card. Then I may be able to find the piece, I know I have somewhere, instead of having to rush out and buy some more.
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.
That is just the beggining
Hugs
Cally (across the Pond) x
Becca,
Thanks for the chance to win your generous offer. My goal for 2011 is to gather all my photos and organize them to make scrapbooks. Mary
My Goal for 2011 is to get my cards done before that special holiday is over.Go figure!!!!!!!!!!!
Bonnie
Becca,
My goal for 2011 is to organize my craft room. Thanks for the contest. Mary
Hi Becca
My aim for 2011 is to make use of everything that I have purchased in my craftroom to the utmost — make all my cards ready in time — no more last minute makes and to make them reflect the character of the person recieving them.
Anne
I am a very emotional crafty, doing whatever the moment leads me to do, so I don,t set too many goals. One that I do have for this year is to take the last weekend of each month and make cards with all my scraps from the month before!
Craft Goal: To oraganize craft room first! > Great new look Becca!
Happy New Year Becca and thank you so much for a chance to win your yummy candy! My goal is to do better at posting my projects on my blog. I have not posted anything for months. I have made things but I have just been to lazy to type up the post.
Happy New Year – you truly have been a great inspiration to me and can’t wait to see what you come up with for 2011! Thanks so much Becca for sharing your special talent.
My goal for the new year is to use up some of my treasured paper and stamps – I have many things I’ve never used and it is time to dust them off and put them to good use.
I love your cards. You are awesome! Happy New Year!
To create beautiful cards for my friends
I’m going to try to make and give more “random” Thank You cards. You know – for those volunteers in the church who do so much for little or no acknowledgment….for my husband or children on random days, for no apparent reason at all…..for that always-nice bus driver, or the always-helpful cashier in the store….I’m hoping to spread some smiles and pay it forward :)
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!!
Thanks, ~Gin~
Love those nesties! My goal for this year is to create cards as beautiful as you do, without copying cards for magazines. I need to use my imagination more. LOL
Love you blog. You inspire me to continue to make cards to encourage others going through difficult times. I hope my cards will be as beautiful as yours are. Thank you!
Hope I can remember to log on and get all the words! I’ll be sitting with a friend whose husband is having surgery today, so don’t know if I’ll make it home in time to get another word. Oh well, friendship is worth more that bonus blog candy, right?
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.
God Bless You,
Tina Van Eick
Craft goal? Only one??? :) One is to finish decorating my space.
Love your work Becca. Your blog is the first I check each morning over a cup of coffee. My goal this year is to reorganize my craft room and finish decorating it. Thanks for the chance to win.
This is great and another goal is to create a card half as beautiful as yours.
Susan
Crafting goals include to use my supply of pretty paper, and quit hoarding. I’m sure I’m the only one who does this. I just worry that when I use it up, it will be all gone and I won’t be able to get more. Well, I’m going to work on it. Thanks for the chance at the blog candy!!
My crafting goal for this year is to finish up some vacation albums. I have all the materials to probably make at least 10 albums but I just couldn’t get my creative juices flowing last year.. So, hoping the juices will start to eke out in 2011.
Good morning! Becca you have some of the best goodies for your give sways. Thank you for blessing us with your creativity.
God bless
Mary
My papercrafting goals for the new year is to get my scrapbooking ALL caught up!!! I love these large dies.
What a great giveaway, Becca! My crafting goal for this year is to give more. 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!
Thank you for a chance to win this wonderful blog candy. My crafting goal this year is to get better organized. When I use something to make a card to put it back when I’m finished.
the new nestibilities look awesome!
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.
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!
Awesome blog candy give away, thank you, my 2011 goal is strive for better health and to reach out more to those needing help.
Blessings
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!
My crafting goals for this year…first and foremost finally get my craft space to the place where I can actually use it to craft and not just store my supplies!!! (An ongo0ng battle!)
Hi Becca,
I think its my second time entering for blog candy. My craft gold is to finish all the unfinished things I have not done and get my craft space in order.
I have lovey storage units. This year I will organize them in a more useful way.
My gold this year is to get my blog up and working. I’m checking into taking a class on web design. For the past 6mos I have tried to get it up and working no luck. I also would like to work be on a design team. I have a friend that is and she love it. My the way I love your blog, if only I could do something like you have done. lol
Your Sister in Christ
Christine
I love the new look. I think it fits your creations better. More elegant. My goal is to get my craft/scrapbook room remodeled this year. I’ve been pushing my husband to get it done and finally got all the components purchased and now if he wants his garage back, he has to get it done to get everything out. I hope this year is better than last for you.
Happy New Year Becca and thanks for the chance to win.Hope to get more organized this year and more cards done .
Becca,
I have been following your blog for a LONG time now and am always inspired by your work. HOWEVER, this year I want to be inspired by your committment. My main goal for this year is to figure out how to make my own blog so I can better share in the creativity process. Oh and thanks for the blog candy.
Becca, you have been a tremendous blessing to me ever since I stumbled across your blog! Absolutely LOVE visiting you and seeing all your wonderful creations! One of my craft goals this year is to make various themed cards ahead of time to have on hand, instead of making them as I need them.
My goals this year are to get my space organized and be proactive instead of reactive in my crafting. Your cards and 3D items are so timely and beautiful. I’d like to be able to come close to this!
after getting it all organized i will use it.
Hoping to get more organized! Sometimes my room looks like a tornado lives there.
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 ha
Get more organized and get more cards done to have on hand for different occasions. Thanks for the chance to win.
My craft goal for this year is to step out of my comfort zone on my scrapbook layouts & cards. Learn more & try new techniques.
how generous of you to offer blog candy. my goal for this year is to create a banner for every season/holiday for my DD who is on her own so she knows she is thought of and loved.
A goal for me is to get my craft room more organized. Thanks for offering the blog candy.
my crafting goal this year is to use each one of my stamp sets in a project – whether it be scrap page, card whatever. Then I will pass at least 50 on. I need to whittle down my overcrowded, paralyzing stash!!@!
Hi Becca,
Happy New year sweetie.
Wow, what wonderful blog candy!! You are always so good to us.
My goal is to make more challenges, paint my studio, and keep my blog current.
Have a wonderful day.
Blessings,
Deb
Slow down, quit believing I have to have everything (crafting). Spend the time creating instead of where I am going to put everything. To use 40% of what I already have. And only hope I can become half as creative and talented as you are. Thanks for sharing your world!!!!!
My goal is to get my craft room organized so I can get more done. Thanks for the chance to win. Have a good day.
Happy New Year Becca! My craft goal for 2011 is to start creating again. I did well in 2009 and made birthday cards for everyone in my family, but 2010 I did not make one card. I have a calendar and two scrapbooks I also want to work on this year.
My craft goals for 2011 are to just enjoy. I was diagnosed with two stage four cancers in 2010 and was not able to craft very much. I am feeling better at this time and just plan to enjoy what God has givin me.
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.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I am looking forward to getting settled in my new home and shopping for new products but I’m not sure how much I will get accomplished this year.
HI Becca,
Thanks for the chance to win these goodies. My goal this year is to use what I have – and to buy less. I have WAY too much stuff. That said, I still love my nesties!!! I will sell some of my unused stash and save the money until that cerain something comes along that I have to have
My 2nd craft goal for 2011 is to use what I already have or to purge unused products by donating to our local school or other crafters.
I’d love to try new techniques in 2011. So I think one of my goals will be to try something new at least once a month. A great way to learn something new in 2011!
Becca,
My craft goals for 2011 are to be less critical of my own work & to try to enter more challenges. When I see the absolutely gorgeous cards made by you & others it gives me inspiration to be a better crafter.
May this be a wonderful new year for all of us!
Sherri
My craft goals would be to use the stamps and supplies I already have. It seems to me that I am in love with the thrill of the hunt for new items or supplies that I do not own. I need to spend more time creating and less time buying. I am sure my husband would agree!!! Happy Stamping Ladies!!! :-)
Becca !!! Happy new year ! thanks for this fun candy. My goal for 2011 is doing two MA one for celebrating my 40th birthday this year I want to include 40 pictures one from each year of my life and another mini with my chosen word for this year which is “DARE”. I try to post a comment in Mozilla 3.0.19 and I got a black screen. But in Explorer it’s working ok.
Hello Becca, I love your new look. I was lucky enough to get a Sizzix BIGKick for Christmas from my husband. I am looking forward to learning how to use it with my Spellbinders dies.
Sherry
Thanks for offering the new year’s candy and all the best for 2011!
My craft goals are to increase my stash of stamps and markers and try my hand at some challenges. I don’t know how much I’ll be able to buy at this point and seriously doubt being able to afford copics so I might try the promarkers. I’ve seen them online at a much more reasonable price than the copics. Wish me luck!
Wow, beautiful cards and goodies. Doesn’t get any better than this. My craft goal this year is to finally scrapbook my oldest son’s life. He died 4 years ago and I have not been able to do it. I am hoping this will be the year I can actually look at the pictures and not fall apart.
My goal is to craft at least once a week.
My goal for 2011 is to never again purchase a greeting card! To complete a full album start to finish for each of my children.
Like Susan B. My goal for 2011is to finish each album from start to finish and to get into doing more cards for every occasion.
Happy New Year Becca
My goals are to sort out my crfating space, especialy my now considerable collection of paper, I also want to make my cards well before they are due- I have all the ideas in my head and then leave it until the lst minute and end up making something very quickly. I would also love to have a card group to pass on the skills I have learned but need to build up a bit more confidence. Anne x
My crafting goals for 2011 is to just keep up with my albums so I am ready for Graduation in 2012. I try to make a card a day, so that will be something I will try to keep up with between the kids and house and work :)
DawnW
My 2011 craft goals are (1) to be ready to send handmade cards for expected birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays AND unexpected events. This means creating 30 or so cards each month, with all those people in mind; and, (2) organize my space so I have more table top to work on.
My goals are to complete some of my scrapbook albums.
My goal for 2011 is to finally start and finish my two sons scrapbook before they get any older (they are 31 and 27), I want to make more cards this year then I did last year. Keep amazing us with your talent and have a Happy New Year.
Hugs
Donna
My goal for 2011? I plan on doing “Artistic Exercises!” I have a book in particular to use. I’m HOPING this will help me STREEEETCH my mind! That way I can come up with new ideas….!
My craft goal this year is to try more new techniques, especially those I “planned” to try but didn’t.
I SO BAD WANT THOSE GRAND DIES…(that apparently I will forsake all “good English” to get them…LOL!) Gonna try for the double play this time, too.
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.
Your work is truly inspired..I love how you find ways to use those punches and then do it with sophistication. It is so fun to stop by. Thank you.
Well, I hope I can keep up with this. I’d love to win either Thanks a bunch!
I want to get my space organized so that I can make a card at the drop of hat……
Wow, Becca, great blog candy! This year one of my crafting goals is to get my craft room sorted out, so I can actually use it to craft in. 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.
I’m sorry…I forgot to list my goals…
I am making cards for my neighbor’s daughter who is raising funds for her mission trip. And I want to continue to get my scrapbooks in order according to a 3 month long class I took 2 years ago. I still have some organizational aspects to implement there. Better grammar on this post, no?
My goal for the new year is to get all of my collection into my newly created organized space. I have all of these new wonderful containers, now I just need some time to move things into it!
I love all of your fabulous creations. My craft goal for 2011 is to be better organized so when I have time to create it will not be spent looking for things.
My craft goal is to…….Inspire at least one person with my cards the way you have inspired me….
My craft goal is to quit buying so much stuff and use what I have in my stash. A few days ago I purged my “gift wrapping” cabinet. Painful as it was, I used many store boughten cards I’ve had for many, many years for my Christmas thank you notes even though I would rather have been making the cards. It was a good thing…..
Another craft goal is to scrapbook more and do the monthly challenges our local scrapbooking store has set up for us.So much for Inspiration- it is all around us!
Day 2—-I want to purchase a die cut machine, not electronic. I want one that can do it all!! Now, which one will it be?
My 2011 Craft goals~~ hmmm…..most importantly, I would like to keep my scrapbooking up to date for this year. Beginning with Jan. 1, I want to keep the events of the year and the precious pictures of my ever changing 4 month old grandson recorded and treasured in a completed scrapbook.
Hi Becca
Thanks for this chance to play double play…
My craft goals for this year is to actually make a start at doing a scrapbook instead of keep saying i’m going to do it. My eldest son is 18 and its my intentions to do a scapbook of him – that would be my most important goal. Apart from that, its to make more use of the things that I have, and to make my hobby pay for itself.
Paula, Derbyshire, UK.
Another craft goal for 2011 .. clean up my craft space and keep it tidy. .. pretty lofty …
Wonderful blog candy, Becca! If I was lucky enough to win, my first crafting goal would be to purchase a Grand Calibur :))
Hmmm… it’s Monday so time for another craft goal for 2011… Yesterday I mentioned all the supplies I’ve collected over the past couple of years. 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!
I’ve just finished reorganizing my stamping supplies so I hope to use that as inspiration to actually do some stamping! Seems like it’s been forever since I actually made anything. I’ve certainly had fun looking at what other’s have done, though.
another goal I have for the new year is to spend more time on the cards that really matter, and try to keep my list of chairites to one that I can really keep with out overloading myself along with being true to myself.
I’m going to “light”en my stash of embossing powders .. and actually use them on cards rather than let them collect dust!
My goal for 2011 is to scrap more card and use all that I already have.
Another goal that I have for 2011 is to use some of the ribbon I have on hand…use it before I purchase more…..I am bow challenged. Hope you are enjoying your day. God bless.
I really need to clean up my area so I have space to do what I love……making cards. Thanks for the chance to win and all your inspiration Becca.
What a fun contest! My first goal of the new year is to use the paper I’ve been collecting (hoarding!) for the last year or so – and to make cards other than the ones I need to make. Thank you for offering this double chance to win goodies!
I am DYING to try the new grand dies – thanks for the opportunity! I think for me, I want to make more cards to send to my friends and family. I make them to sell; that is how I help fund my crafting. However, sometimes I don’t have enough to send out myself!
How very generous of you! My craft goal this year is actually for only 6 months. I think that’s as long as I can hold out. I am going to quit buying craft supplies except for specific consumables, like glue and tape. I am going to craft from my considerable stash. I’m putting this out there verbally, too, so my friends (and family) can keep me accountable. Of course, who knows how crazy I’ll go at the end of 6 months!!
Hello and good afternoon! Another one of my crafting goals this year is to do more vintage and shabby chic stamping. I have been trying to master this look and will try harder this year. I have seen so many beautiful cards using this style.
My goal for the year is to create more cards using stuff that has piled up at home, instead of just wanting to buy more and more new items. It would surely be a healthy goal for my bank account.
After organizing, my next focus will be less on the hobby of acquisition, and more on the hobby of utilization! I love to buy, sometimes more than I actually USE! Not sure which part of this hobby is more fun! Thanks again Becca for your AMAZING blog.
Hello Becca,
Oh My! What a wonderful prize….so many responses too!
My craft goal for 2011 is to refurbish my VERY MESSY and over stocked craft room, which I have been using for 15 years! I intend to take everything I will no longer use, (my over indulgence), to my local centre for the disabled. I’m sure they will find a good use for them, as they enjoy making cards so much, and their funds don’t usually go very far. So I usually try to help out when I can xx
Another craft goal is to use what I have. Wish me lick on that one!!!
Another craft goal is to use what I have. Wish me luck on that one!!!
Hi Becca~
Thanks again for the opportunity to win some nice stuff! As to your question, I have been sooooo busy crafting since July that my craft room is a major disaster!!!! Therefore, my number one goal is to clean up my craft room. Second, I want to start on my valentine cards for the soldiers overseas and for my grandsons’ classroom friends….Thirdly, I like to be able to be way in front of holidays so that I can relax and go crafting at a leisurely pace and not let my room get to where it is now….well, that is about all for now….have a good day and thanks again for the blog candy opportunity.
may this year be full of blessings for you. Thanks for entering me.
Wow – what great candy I’d love to win.
Thanks for the chance

Hi Becca,
My craft goal this year is to use all the goodies I already have and to inspire and share my craft knowledge with other’s.
Hello again for today, hope yours is going great, my plate is overflowing!
Hi Becca–
My crafty goals this year are to enjoy the art of the creativity. If at first it doesn’t succeed–rearrange it to suit another need. Too often I get frustrated and worry about what others will think. I think there’s a real “art” in learning from mistakes. At least that’s what I’ll be telling myself this year! =)
Hi becca! thank you for your blog candy!!!!!
Wonderful are your greazioni follow you always hope that the luck help me a big hug from Italy
kiss Sara
WOW!!what awesome candy!! My craft goal is to spend less and use what I already have!!
My goal this year is – to try new things. I tend to get real set in my ways and do the same thing over & over. (Could be also my supplies LOL) This Christmas I did get some nesties & just placed an order with JustRite – so I am going to try some new things!!!
I love your new blog and your work is great!! Thanks for a chance to win some new scrapbooking goodies for the New Year!!
My goal is to actually stop buying-paper & stamps especially-and start doing–I would like to scrap at least 2x a month.
Also, if I could just organize all of my things that would help plenty too.
I still need to start cleaning my worktable off so I can start papercrafting. I just love all of your cards you have such a talent and glad you will share that with us.
Becca …we love love love your site…you make us proud to be crafters…..I have tried to organize my craft supplies a little today…My plan is to organize for at least 30 minutes each day……keeping my fingers crossed on my organizing job and on your blog candy…..i also like playing the game with the words…..you have made it interactive…….Thank you for all you do for us… You truly inspire us
Texie
This new year I resolve to finish the projects I start.
great blog candy – my craft goals – try new things – schedule time for crafting – at least once per week. I have taken many art classes – I want to play with what I have learned – and take more classes – like Encaustic art – I have all the supplies to start on it – now need time :)
I already think I goofed on the word thing…you are such a dear lady…not to mention a motivator and inspiration! Thanks!
I need to stop buying just because I have a coupon.
Kate
My resolution this year is to try new techniques all year. I decided it was time to stop just admiring them and get stuck in!
Thanks for sharing! :o)
I have a few goals … 1 is to get organized! (ohh help) lol
Hi Becca, hope you are having a good day.another goal is to use somestuff I already have instead of buying so much!,lol
Another craft goal is to try not to buy too much paper (I love paper too much to say not to buy any) – lol… hugs, antonella :-)
Your blog is fantastic. All the gorgeous things that you create are a sight for sore eyes.
Thanks for the inspiration!!
Ooops, I for got to enter my goal…..
My goal is to be more grateful in general. And to demonstrate my gratefulness my remembering to always send thank you cards to the people who are always there and to those who have shown their kindness one way or another
Hello Becca, I’ve been visiting your site for some time and have showed many friends the wonderful cards you create. You are gifted! This is the first time I have “blogged” even though I receive your Amazing Paper Grace emails.
My husband and I are in the process of building a new home and my goal is to customize my stamping room so that it will be efficient and attractive.
I like the “new look” of your space and find it easy to move around. Thanks for sharing your talents and cards.
thanks for the chances to win
My second goal for the year is to get a blog started, which will be a real challenge for me as I’m not sure how to even get started. Thanks for a chance to win…….
Blessings,
Catherine
Hi Happy new year to everyone. My goal for 2011. Make all my own greetings cards that I will give to my family and friends. As I am gone a move I plan to make myself a little room just for my craft
Darn, I checked in at 5:52pm for the word and reread the directions on the double play. I now know I should check in at the am and pm? I am so confused. I will write down this word and see what happens tomorrow. I hope I have not messed up on the very first day already.
I love everything you do, You are such an inspiration, and I love that you do so many “inspirational” projects. You do not find many of them out there like yours. Keep up the AMAZING work.
I really want to get all my photos scrapbooked! I am two years behind. Yikes! How did that happen? LOL
[…] have double play blog candy going on right now. Click HERE to go to the post to leave a comment to […]
Make time everyday for the art!
You are terriffically generous! One of my craft goals is to get my room painted and organized. Just moved from the basement to an unused bedroom and have slowly been sorthing through my stash.
Have discovered and fallen in love with the nestabilites dies through your beautiful cards. My goals for this year is to get organised and finish all projects that I start, that includes my husbands 50th and both my daughters 21st and 30th and niece 18th all coming up this year what a gracious year 2011.
So generous of you. One of my crafting goals is to stretch myself with making different styles of cards.
Wishing you everything wonderful for 2011. Thank You for all your inspiration throughout 2010.
Organize my craft room, I have so many things and can’t remember exactly what I do have.
take care
Donna B
My goal is to use the Cuttlebug my sisters gave me for Christmas and finally use all the Cuttlebug embossing folders I have in an actual Cuttlebug.
My goal is to learn to use my new digital camera. So far the manual is out of the box and I have been reading it. My eyes are glazed over with all the features and buttons. I am taking baby steps . Next step put in the batteries LOL
I get so much joy from your posts. I really apprecaite that you share your designs with us. Your creativity inspires me.
i have a few rafting goals for this new year…
but #1 on my list is to create more often…(aka daily)
Collecting the word play words…can’t wait to see all the new goodies to come!!
Love the latest offering! I have never seen anything on your blog that wasn’t just spectacular! My goal this year is to try to be as creative as you are.
Happy New Year Becca!! My goal for the New Year, HMMMMMMMMMM, I finally got my own craft room last year, it looks beautiful. I would like to take the time to do more things for me in my room. You see this year I was all wrapped up in my daughters wedding, invitations, decorations and etc…… Not that I didn’t love every minute but I want to really get into cards this year again and really get into creating, like you inspire me everyday!Bev
Hi Becca,
My crafting goal for 2011 is to make 3 cards a week. I surely have a supply of dp that I need to use so no buying any more until I use up what I have.
Happy New Year!
Diane
I just wish I had 1/10 of your creativity. I really enjoy your blog, Becca.
I always make time to visit and just love the way you bring things to life.
Just timeless. All God’s blessings to you.
Hello Becca,
another of my goals for 2011 is to make at least one (but two if possible) Christmas cards each week, however I’m not holding my breath,
thanks for all the shares
Susan
Yum (smacking lips)–tasty blog candy!
I am new to your blog and website. My goal would be to figure out and remember everything I own before I go and purchase something else I already have. I am a bit organized but I just have a lot of small little stuff.
Wow…I love the eveything you do! Thanks for the opportunity to win some blog candy!
My goals for 2011… are to actually CRAFT!!! I am going to make time for ME! And this means crafting!
I LOVE this box/card. Just adorable!
Well, 2nd time around and 4 my next goal would be to get off my fanny from in front of the computer and spend more time in making more cards.
Thanks again Becca 4 all U do .
ColleenB.
Hi Becca! What a nice blog candy pkg. Organization is #1 priority!! I am literally moving everything around because I think I have black and white detail embossing powder and can’t find it!!! Like things have got to go together! Well thanks for the chance to win!
One day after posting that I want to be more organized and I’ve done nothing, but I did get the first word, which is the one I usually miss out on. OK, I say I’ve done nothing, but I’ve been looking around and planning. Does that count?
to stay ahead of my due dates! (birthdays, holidays….)
Thanks for the fun!
Sandra ltb
I absolutely love your blog Becca and never commented before, this is a first for me, figured I’d start the New Year out right. I look at lots of stuff and never tell anyone how much it is appreciated. So all you do is VERY MUCH appreciated!! You are an amazing woman and an amazing scrapbooker.
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.
THANKS!!
Wow!! This is some great blog candy. Thank you for this opportunity to win. My crafting goal is one I worked on last year and am still working on. We moved a year ago and I finally have my own craft room. I want to finally get it set up so others can come and join me. Still too many boxes that need unpacking. I will get this done!!!
Hi again Becca! I wanted to mention that I love your new blog look! So pretty and feminine! Thanks again for the chance to win!!! You are so sweet!!!
Just checking in on the words–thanks so much for the chance to win!
Thank you for the chance to win!
Yay great blog candy Becca, thank you the chance to add to my stock!
I plan to do much less ‘surfing’ in 2011 and actually do so some crafting – here’s hoping.
Thanks for doing a Blog Candy Give Away already this 2011! I am already too late for the double play, but I would LOVE to try those Grand Nestabilities. My goal for this new year is to finally enter a challenge! Blessings to you Becca in 2011.
My goal for this year is to keep on learning and making better cards and enjoying every minute and maybe winning one of these draws this year.
goals for 2011: start my projects quite a bit sooner – it always takes me so much longer than I allow for and then I have to rush at the end.
The Grand Nesties would be wonderful to play with. Thanks for the chance to play. All the best in 2011!
One of my crafting projects this year is to make a small book for a friend with pictures of 4 of her grandchildren taken over the years. These siblings/cousins have appeared in many pictures together. We took a picture on Christmas day of the 4 of them (all teens now!) and it was fun to compare them to their younger selves!
Those flowers are so gorgeous!! Also, could sure use the Nesties!! My goal is ORGANIZATION!!!! It is the only way to boost my productivity!!!
One of my crafting goals (after I get organized) is to use more of the supplies that I already have such as punched borders, cuttlebug sheets, etc. I have boxes of these but usually just make something new when I start a new card.
I did get the Grand Calibur but saving now for the grand nestabilities. I do use my smaller ones with it as I also own the Wizard. I would LOVE to own a grand die…maybe when I have my birthday in July…LOL…but Mother’s Day will be closer…how about Easter?…No, I love your work, Becca, and it is very generous of you to hold this for us.
Hugs and God bless, Jeanielou
Becca, I love playing your double play. Your blog candy is wonderful! My craft goals for 2011 is to get myself organized, so I don’t miss any birthdays, anniversaries, special occassions and just sending notes to friends and family. My goal is to make my cards way ahead of schedule, something that I tend to procrastinate about! I love your designs and follow you religiously! Your are never a disappointment.
I am committing to get my holiday cards done ahead of time(valentines, Easter, etc.) so I can concentrate each month on the birthdays and anniversaries that come along without being crunched for time to complete each seasons card sets. lol :) Have many of the ODBD scripture and holiday sets(love their products) and really look forward to creating some cards using some new techniques. Love your site and all the tutorials and
Becca Bits(so many great ideas) and such beautiful inspired creations.
I could really use the Blog Candy items(don’t think I’ve entered before but

I plan to make some cards using the markers my son bought me for Christmas. I got 25 Promarkers!
Thanks for all the great cards you share with us. I always find somethig I can’t wait to try. Happy New Year.
My crafty goals are to get an area set up in my house to crop/stamp at home. Love Spellbinders and I just got the Grand Calibur for Christmas. :) Thank you for the chance to win.
loved the calendar gift you were given. it is really lovely. another of my goals this year is to get out and walk more often.
My craft goal is to organize my crafting supplies…thanks for the opportunity!!!!
To make at least one thing from every die I own!
I would so love to start the year with winning some blog candy – I have never done so before. I love your calendar gift and would also love to have the directions.
My main craft goal for this year is to clean out the spare bedroom and move all my craft items around the house to the new craft room.
Becca, what a neat gift you received! I’m hoping you can find the directions for it as it would great fun to make it. You are amazing, Becca–love your site. Pat
Another crafting goal is to get out of my element and learn a new craft/technique at least once a month. Thanks again for this grand candy you’re offering.
Becca, I’ve been following you for almost 2 years now. I’ve always been inspired. By your talent, art, craft, wisdom, fortitude, determination and general strength. I wanted to say Thanks. You are an amazing lady.
A craft goal for this coming year is to work on my coloring and shading skills!
Hugs and thanks,
R/
What fun coming into find the words! Second one wasn’t what I thought it would be!! Thanks!
I was referred to your site by a friend and I’m so glad she did. I love it. You amaze me.
Becca, you do such a beautiful job of layering Spellbinder shapes. My resolution is to play more with my Spellbinders, try layering different shapes. Think outside the box. It would be fun to try out my resolution with those Grand Label One dies.
wow, lots of comments here! bummer, i think i missed the first word :-(
My 2011 craft goals are 1) to be prepared in season and out with handmade cards for all occasions, and 2) better organize my work space to actually have a table top to work on with bigger than a foot square of empty space! thanks for asking!

My scrapping goal for 2001 is 75 layouts. Plus I plan to do 12 mini albums to give at Christmas (goa is to do one each month…so I’m not doing them last minute).
My goal is to keep my space organized and to tidy my basement including my overflow craft space. There are other psrts of my house that need organizing too.
Another goal of mine is to keep my craft space organized when I am done playing.
Thanks for the inspiration Becca!
Becca, such a wonderful gesture of your generosity! This is awesome candy!
My MAIN craft goal, is to make more art to sell and less to swap.
Thanks for the opportunity.

My crafting goal is to make more cards than last year and to use them as an encouragment for lots of people. I also want to use a lot more of the stamps and supplies I have rather than looking to buy new things. Thanks for offering this!
Becca,
I got the Grand Calibur for Christmas and this blog candy would be right up my alley to win. I only have one set of Grand Nesties…Labels 4…and Labels 1 is on my wish list. I am organizing like crazy…My main goal this year is to create me a craft room and take back my house. 38 years of “stuff”. Whew!!! Lots to purge…purge….purge….You are truly a blessing…Thanks…Hugs…
My biggest goal for 2011 is to use all my current tools for cardmaking & to finish my projects that I have previously started. You are a true inspiration to me and to so many. It is such an honor to be able to see your work. Thank you for sharing with us all. God Bless.
My craft goals are: Spend more time crafting; learn new techniques; re-organize my supplies; most of all give thanks to the Lord for all the many blessings He bestows on me and my loved ones each and every day! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent and may God grant you strength, peace and love.
Thanks again for a chance to win. Another goal I have is to start some scrapbooking. I almost always just make cards and with a new grandson, I want to capture some of those precious memories before he is 16.
My crafting goals for 2011:
1) start a blog so I can share things with more people
2) do more scrapbooking than I previously have
3) make more elaborate cards
My craft goal is to get organized and find crafting buddies to share. My crafting area is completely a mess from years of collecting and not enough doing. These nesties will make a wonderful complement to my others ones.
See ya tomorrow
Your gift is spectacular!
Today, I’ll add that another goal for my crafting life is to send out, with personal messages, a card a week to friends I miss. I didn’t get out Christmas cards so maybe this could be throughout the year, a great thing.
so after i get all my stuff organized, i perhaps should use it. that’s my goal at least.
Hi Becca,
My crafting goals for this coming year would be to find the time to sit down and utilize all the wonderful craft supplies I have accumulated throughout this past year. I have purchased a craft storage system, piece by piece, and have all my goodies ready to go. Like you, I have a lot of things going on in my personal life and crafting is an outlet for me, if only for awhile
Thanks for all you do Becca.
Blessings as always,
Cathie
I enjoy your blog and amazed at your generousity. Thanks
Happy New Year, Becca! My crafting plans for 2011 is to create a scrapbook for my little granddaughter, Lucy. It’ll be my first one ever!! I also plan to get a stash of cards made so that I’m not always making them “just in time.” Sure hope I can live up to these plans. I will continue to look to you for inspiration.
My goal is to establish a blog! And, with that,
more creating!
And to finish assembling my craft storage system and get
it organized the way I want.
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity!
My biggest goal this year is to keep cards made ahead so I don’t have to scramble to make a card I need. that would help me to get cards to people on time and not weeks after their birthdays, anniv. etc. I am such a procrastinator!!! Help me!
Thanks for all the great goodies you offer and from my house to you, Happy New Year!!!
Hi Becca, what a fun game! My craft goals for 2011 will be to get my cards and gifts done the previous month, so that I can get them mailed out on time. It is so frustrating for me to design a card, then craft it, but then not get it mailed to the recipient by their special date! That would be my goal!
I just spoke with my niece who told me she just bought a Cricut so now I have a new goal, to help her begin her scrapping/cardmaking journey and share something I love with someone I love. It’s going to be a blast!!
Wow Bekka!! What a great way to start the year.
My crafting goals for 2011 are to get my mojo back and get back into crafting. I have a few things that I have wanted to do which obviously includes papercrafting and some knitting and crochet too.
Thank you for this opportunity!
My craft goal for 2011 is to remember my loved ones and friends in gifting. I want to not only make it but be sure it brightens someones day.
Wahoo! Thanks for starting out the new year with so much fun! One of my main crafting goals for 2011 is to get organized!!!!
My plans for scrapbooking this year are many. At the top of my list is to catch up on scrapbooking my 2 boys. I have many pictures that have not even been moved off of my camera card. I guess that organizing should be at the top of my list. LOL
Thanks for the chance to win your blog candy.
Susie
What wonderful blog candy! I really hope I win it! Thank you for all the inspiration.
Hugs,
Snoopy :D
My next three goals are:
1. buy less stuff and use more current stash
2. learn a program to create digi sentiments
3. get my photo printer back up and running
thanks for another op to win your cool stuff!
My next goal would be to get a blog up and running. Love those nesties, and the grand ones are on my list of things to get.
hi there again well I have a new goal a new addittion to the family just found out at midnight here so I guess everyone know what that goal means now.
One of my craft goals this year is to start my Christmas cards earlier!
Thank you for the chance to win!
Another goal for this year, is to keep my joy!
Hi Becca,
I will buy less stuff and use more current stash, but I know already that I don’t keep that promise LOL
hugs Linda
Well, working on my organizing has not off to a really great start. Hopefully, by the end of this year will have accomplished something.
I have been setting several goals for the year……….My 3rd goal is I am planning on working on my Christmas cards all year long instead of waiting last minute as I always do.
Blessings,
Catherine
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity.
Another stamping goal .. I’d love to be able to tie beautiful bows like you Becca! I’ll have to watch that bows video several more times …
My craft goal for 2011 is “It’s not the quantity it’s the quality” and the second goal is “To have fun”
Each day as I read your blog I come up with another goal for 2011….I hope I can accomplish a few of them…..I hope to get the family birthday card done at least a few days before the actual day that we have a party for them…I would love to not be under so much pressure because I wait until the last minute or plan to do a larger project than time allows. Thank you for giving me the courage to accomplish some of my goals……
Please continue to inspire and encourage us with your crafting
Texie
I make a sample of each punch as it get it to see what it looks like. Another goal is to make a small album of the samples so I can just flip through it when I am looking for the right punched image to work with a card I am making . Right now the samples are in a large brown envelope. Thanks for the chance to win!
Another big goal I have for this year is: I want to make all my cards, so they´re always ready for the upcomming months, as I have been hopelæess late with everything this past year LOL.
It´s really a great idea this Becca, it makes us focus on, where we need to improve usself, and force us to think very carefully about it, and also where and what we actually CAN do to improve, and that is really grat. Now we also just have to DO ithehe he.
Have a wonderful day dear friend.
My biggest crafting resolution is to start my card business.i have been putting it off for some months but this year i promise myself to works towards that.
My goal is to get my craft room from terrible conglomeration of stuff, to organized and easy to find great crafting space! Nelda in TN
Happy New Year to you Becca! My crafting goal this year is to utilize my supplies I have, and keep my Etsy store always full:)
Thank you for offering such a generous prize.
Hi Becca,
What a great calender project! I love calenders, too.
Can’t wait for the instructions. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for all the inspiration Becca. My craft goal for this year is to use every stamp, every nestie, every punch and every die I own on at least 1 card, no mean feat but one I intend to accomplish.
Love the calendar. TFS Another goal for this year is to make my cards for friends and family early so I do not feel rushed.
Your calendar is beautiful Becca. Another goal I have is to make time to make more projects and then get them posted on my blog.
It’s very interesting to read so many goals. I might adopt some for myself.
I would like to get my cards done in a timely manner rather than waiting until the last minute to get started.
I really need to use up some of the supplies I have without purchasing more. I have so much stuff, but when I see something new come out that I like, I buy it too. Have a great day and thanks so much for sharing.
Love your blog candy. I have never used a nestabilitites before. I hope I can use it in my cuttlebug machine.
my goal this year is to achieve better balance. I tend to run hot or cold when it comes to scrapping. I am really going to work on being even throughout the year and not to stress myself too much
By starting to organise my space I realise that another goal will be to use up much of the paper than I just seem to have been collecting.
How beautiful!!!
One of my goals for this year is to get all or most of my treasures oeganized. Good luck on that one, lol.
What a beautiful & wonderful gift. The coloring on them flowers is outstanding.
ColleenB.
One goal – that I desire to achieve every year! – is to put away my supplies after crafting… no more leaving it laying out
One of my goals is to organize all of my craft supplies so that they are easy to find.
Another craft goal for 2011 is not to spend so much! I really don’t have to have it all, and I need to use what I have! Thanks again for the chance to win!
Besides using up my paper stash, I want to get out more cards to the Troops.
One of my goals this year is to keep my crafting space more organized; put away things as I use them! We’ll see how that goes!! Thanks for all your inspiration!
Jenny L.
Another morning and I am grateful.
Another crafting goal for 2011 is to use the paper I have collected. I am a hoarder of fabric and now paper and I need to stop that! So – I will have a happy time making beautiful cards using all my wonderful paper.
One goal for 2011 is to finish several scrapbooks that I have started. I love paper craft and seem to work on cards instead of getting the books done.
One crafting goal for 2011 is to start “using” the items I have and not buying things on impulse and forget that I have it or what I was going to use it for! Thanks for the chance to win some fun candy!!
Trying to keep up with the double p;lay…
Hi Becca
I am loving this. I have a collection of 3 words so far.
Like lots of the other crafters I must use the items I have bought before being seduced by new goodies.
Must dash, my local Craft Emporium has a Sale on. Te He.
Hugs
Cally (from across The Pond) x
Good morning Becca, thanks for the opportunity to win these great prizes!
I have many hopes for my crafting this year. One is to make a small scrapbook for my mother-in-law of my kids. Hopefully a nice compilation of them over the years.
Thank you for the chance to win some great blog candy. I really enjoy your blog. You are so creative.
Use my stash items before buying new! Sorting through older stamps and papers has inspired me again…just like reading your blog! Thanks so much and sending you blessings for the new year.
Wow! Blog Candy! What are my crafting goals for 2011?? To become more organized so that I do not waste so much time trying to gather everything together each time I begin a project…seems like I spend to much time trying to stay organized instead of actually accomplishing my goal!
My goal for 2011 is to lose weight and to simplify my life. I am always too busy and want to make more time for my wonderful husband that I love so much. darkness
Another goal is to use what I have…eyelets, buttons, chalks, embossing powders, etc. Thanks for giving us a chance to win. God bless.
My crafting goal is to use stuff I already have and not buy as many new goodies. Also, to take the time to make more projects and post them to my blog.
Organization is at the top of my goals for this year. Second on my list is to use what I have to be creative and make time for creativity.
My first goal is to find a good balance between crafting and family and my second goal is to incorporate supplies I already own in my projects. Thanks for letting us play.
God bless,
Peggy
Love the blog candy! thanks! My crafting goal this year is to stay on schedule. I found myself always rushing around at the last minute to finish projects when I should have had then done. I MUST be more consistent with my crafting this year! Help!!
Another goal is to become faster at making a card. I’m not good at creating something quickly for an unexpected event.
Becca,
I just love your site, so many beautiful cards and ideas. I am making a goal for this year to do more crafting, and make more cards and try to keep up on my scrap booking! I received some new crafting toys for Christmas and I plan to make a space in my craft area to be able to use them with ease! I would also like to try to organize my craft items so that I can more easily access them so that when the creative bug bites me I can just craft like crazy!
~Ginny~
another goal-be kind to myself about my own work
Good morning Becca
You are such an inspiration. I love visiting your Blog to see what new item you have created.
One of my goals for this year is to be more organized.
Well my craft goal is to get back to stamping every single day. I got off track when my father (best dad ever) died in December 2008. He was my best cheerleader, an artist himself..an architect in CA. Designed many lovely homes there.
My goal is to get on with my life of stamping..and to do it every single day. :)
Your blog is great and I look forward to seeing your creative and beautiful cards. Too many goals to even mention. Thanks for the opportunity.
Susan
My resolution is to get my space organinzed
My New Year’s resolution is to be more organized in my craft room. Well I finally got back in there last night and start cleaning up. It’s just a little messy from making Christmas cards. But it’s coming along !
Another goal for 2011? Our son has Aspergers & had a TERRIBLE time in Public School because of it!!! So, my goal is to continue making him a card a week & sending it to him while he’s away at College! This is his first year! He needs to know he is loved & we miss & believe in him! It is a BIG GOAL!!! He’s likes Snoopy, Batman & Mario!!!! That’s about it!!! Those are my “cutsey” cards!!! LOL
Good Morning Becca
Back again for another word and chance to win these Grand nesties. Another goal this year is to have my cards for swaps and occasions done ahead of time ….
That calendar project is absolutely stunning!
Another craft goal for 2011 is to participate in challenges (sketch or color).
ok so after organizing and then using my products perhaps i should sen/give them to people.
Just wanted to drop by to say Hi and God Bless.
Your Sister in Christ
Christine
It’s finally raining here in TX. We desperately need it! A great day for arts and crafts.
Another goal this year is to exercise more, hopefully that will releave some pain in my back. Thanks for a chance to win.
Since this is the new year I suppose one of my resolutions should be more organized. I seem to have filled my desk and spilled onto another table. Since I received a Cricut for Christmas it’s even worse so I really have to work on organization and clean-up!
Love these nesties!! My goal (at least one of them) is to send a random encouragement card at least once a week .
What fun those nesties would be to play with. Thanks for a chance to win them. One of my goals this year is to be better prepared with cards and to get them out in a timely manner!
I love your projects you make. I always look forward to seeing what you’ll make next. I’d love to see what your craft room looks like. I’d also like to know how you store your Spellbinders.
I’m working on organizing my craft space! It’s a huge task but I’m determined to complete it!
popping in again today to pick up the word, thanks again for the chance to win
Another goal I have is to mail my cards on time. As a paper crafter, I often get set on creating and wind up mailing the card late. Oops! Thanks for the chance.
Thanks for the chance to win! I have a lot of crafting goals for this year, but the biggest one is simply to use my stuff regularly so I can post it on my new blog. :)
Still following your “words”. Lookinig forward to all your posts in 2011!
Another goal is to make the box like you have on you next post. It is awesome and I think I have seen that template several places. I think on some of those card making sites from the UK.
Well, I’ve walked on the treadmill two days in a row! I’m already starting to have a little pain and swelling in my feet, but I forgot to put my feet up before and after like my sister suggested. I’ll have to let you know tomorrow how it goes today! Plus, I start back to work again tomorrow at the high school.
haven’t gotten a grand yet, saving my pennies
Another goal for 2011 is to organize all of my digital photo files in one place with titles not numbers.
Becca,
Thanks for the chance to win. My goal this year is to label every drawer with its contents.
Mary
Hi Becca, I love your blog candy! One of my crafting goals this year is to use up what I have, and TRY (!) not to buy anything new till I use up my stash. Is that possible????? LOL!!! Thanks for all your inspiration….both in the craft world and the spiritual world!!!!
Another 2011 craft goal – use what I have – as best as I can
I plan to do more crafting DAILY. I love making cards but sometimes it is day’s even weeks before I make a new card.
Kate
Hi Becca, thanks for sharing your work on your terrific blog!
My goal this year is to finish my work on time (am a last minute girl and don’t like it…) and to keep my blog updated more regularly.
Love, Alex
Well, other than try to embulate Becca, I will try to get my craft space organized. I’ve started by starting to make punch samples of all the punches and glue them on pages. Next will be the few embossing folders I have.
Another goal is to try new techniques. Thanks for the chance to win. Have a great day.
Well, other than try to emulate Becca, I will try to get my craft space organized. I’ve started by starting to make punch samples of all the punches and glue them on pages. Next will be the few embossing folders I have.
Becca I love your blog I don’t have the nestabilities to play along with your wonderful creations but I do get inspiration from your beautiful color combinations. Happy New Year! I look forward to my visits with you this year
I love your work girl, and enjoy getting the updates to your blog daily. Thanks for the chance for winning this wonderful blog candy. My goal this year is to keep my craft room in tops condition. I’m tired of the cleaning of it. LOL
My goal this year is to scrapbook at least a page a week and complete a card a day. I may not be able to complete something everyday, but on a weekly or monthly basis, I hope I can still meet my goal. Love your site!
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.
So pretty. I love the different pictures for each month.
Would like to try new techniques more often!
[…] forget, I have double play blog candy going on right now. Click HERE to go to the post to leave a comment to […]
Another goal for 2011 is to get my Spellbinders, QuicKutz and Papertrey Ink dies totally organized and clearly labeled so it takes me less time to both find them and to identify them properly in blog posts. I think my biggest obstacle will be finding economically-priced magnetic sheets to hold my dies. If money was no object, I’d already have my goal accomplished, but my goal is set now to work towards!
Thanks for the wonderful tut on the ornaments you have made. Will have to give that one a try. They are so pretty. Would love to try to do more different techniques another goal for me. Thanks for a chance to win.
Sometimes I’m sitting here at the computer in need of a rest, but you get me so inspired that I have to jump up and try something right then. I don’t know how long I can hold out before trying the honeycomb technique! You rock!
I just saw your tutorial and it is really a great easy-to-follow video you so graciously did. I thank you so much, Becca, as I was making an ornament this AM. My friend sent some embossed cut-outs to me and i was using my leisure rest time to play a bit. I will be making these as I am not making over 160 Christmas cards next year at the age of 88. I just love your work.
Hugs, Jeanielou
To make cards ahead, I seem to be one day behind and not in a creativity mood when a card needs to be send… So when I make a card I want to make a couple extra’s with a twist so it’s not the same card.
Thanks for all your beautiful cards
Great tutorial!! they always are! but I especially love these ornaments, so fun to make! Thanks for sharing Becca and Happy New Year!
Here is Tuesday’s entry. Another goal I would like to accomplish is sending more of my cards to the nursing home or solider’s organizations. I make cards and then they set all nice and neat in boxes doing no good for anyone. Thanks for the chance to win.
You make it seem easy with your tutorials…I just love your site!
I am a spellbinder freak I love them and use them on almost every project I do. Thanks for the chance to win.
Thanks for the tutorial. Cannot wait to try it. Have a blessed day.
to use what I have! no need hoarding …
Sandra ltb
Love the ornament!! Thanks for tutorial. Your site is so inspiring – really appreciate your sharing.
Thanks for today’s tutorial for the honeycomb tutorial – I will be giving this a try for next Christmas ornaments. My first goal for 2011 is to use some of my old supplies and to try to use them as substitutes for all the new, “must-have” items being introduced this year. Wish me luck!
I forgot to put down my crafting goals. I would like to enter more contests and make my blog a fun place for people to go.
Love the heart ornament. The tutorial is great, will surely try it!!
Love Splellbinders & all accessories. Thanks for a chance to win
Becca thanks for giving me a reason to use my cricut> Sometimes I forget what can really be done with it. I am going to cut larger and try to make center pieces for tables. Thanks for the inspiration!!
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.
I love the size of the new Nestablities!! I cant wait to see all the wonderful projects you will share with us this year. Your blog is such an inspiration to me!! Keep up the good work!!
I’m not sure that I’ve gotten the words…I have two right now but wonder if I missed some??? Oh well, you are still an awesome designer and I love seeing what you do!!
Thanks for putting up the honeycomb ornament! I loved the cute one you did for Christmas, & wonder how it’s done, also.
The magic word for today is the look we have nearly all the time here right now…variation today: was foggy & frosty.
Phyllis
I have so many crafting goals for this year – I will just share 1 with you each day as you do this blog candy doubly play. So, another goal I have is to enter some of my creative endeavors into online challenges and or contests. Thanks for the chance to win these fabulous goodies!
Another goal of mine is to finish organizing all of my photos and choosing the ones I want to put into an actual scrapbook. The rest will be organized into photo boxes. Love reading everyone’s goals (which just makes me realize all the other things that I need to do :).
I want to catalog my stamps, not sure how to do it. I need to hand quilt a quilt top by a May wedding. I want to make a calendar I saw on the internet. I find scrapbooking very theraputic, so plan to keep that going and I love making cards. I wonder if I’ll have time to cook, eat and wash dishes??
I am still looking forward to seeing and holding my two new great granddaughters which means a trip to CO and to the other side of the state of Iowa in which we live.
Jean McGee
My craft goals are to make 2 Christmas cards each month so I don’t have to buy store bought cards next year….lol
Happy New Year!
Julie
Crafting goals for 2011 are to use the tools and supplies I already have in a new and creative way both in scrapbooking and card making. I LOVE your new blog with the recipe cards for supplies and instructions. I don’t miss a day of it.
Well, there you go– there’s another goal make some of those beautiful ornaments!
Please pick me. I’m in love with the new grand calibur dies. Hope your having a great day. Hugs, Nellie.
Thanks for the Honeycomb tutorial! What a lovely heart you made! I’ve never seen this before. Just think how pretty a bunch strung up together would be for a Valentine decoration!
What a fun way to offer some blog candy! And what delicious looking stuff!
Becca I love hearts and must try this one.
I would love to win this gift. I am claiming it as mineeeeeee.
Be blessed
Honeycomb hearts, Easter eggs, sunshine…my mind is dancing with possibilities. And blog candy games are fun too.
Becca, Love the new look of your blog. Love the nestabilites. They are so fun
Love ur heart project!! I would so love to win some nesties..I dont own any yet..but they are on my wish list
Awesome Candy!! :) I am going to make a list of crafting goals for this year! And collect those, like I collect my supplies!!! :)
How beautiful, thank you so much, Have a wonderfully Blessed New Year..
:)
Whoooooooooppppppppssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!! Forgot to write my goal. Having two new great grandbabies I need to make “feminine” cards to send to their parents.
Jean McGee
well, my internet was down, so I did not get the second word :(
another crafty goal for me is to set up an Etsy shop by March 1
Thanks,
Susan
Really confused…what time zone are you in? Trying to understand when I have to post the ‘word’ before it changes. I’m in the Pacific NW.
Your projects are beautiful!
Another goal for 2011 is to find out more about blogging…just started one a couple of months ago.
Checking in today as always. Love your tutorial today!!! Thanks for doing it and I look forward to more. To me you are the MASTER of creativity so I would love to learn from you.
Love the ornament post you did today. Also, last night I was inspired to try some watercolor inking and stamping this year.
Another goal is to make ahead some flowers for establishments for my cards. I’d like to make little flower sprays.
I enjoyed your tutorial today! I will have to try it soon. Another goal that is pending right now is to make valentine cards for the children in hospitals in our area. A radio station collects handmade Valentine’s to give to the children. I need to start real soon!
OOH, I LOVE those ornaments you have been making. I can’t wait to try the heart one. Thank you so much for sharing and FINGERS crossed on the blog entry.
Thank you for todays tutorial! That is my next crafty goal to try out new techniques and your blog provides the best inspirations for that!
What alovely tutorial.This year I want to try coloring with twinkling H2O’s
Jocelan P
Grrr, I always forget about the time difference between where I am and wherever you are… so I missed the last word… Grrr.. what a drag. Oh well… another craft goal of 2011 is to try as many new techniques as I can. I’m always reading about techniques and watching tutorials, but never really try very many of them so this is the year to get more adventurous.
Hi again Becca,
Another crafting goal is to use my time more effectively so that I can get more cards made in less time.
Hugs, Barbara in SC
I am still drooling over all this fabulous blog candy! Thanks for the chance to win it!
Oh those grand nesties are SO calling my name!
I love the “candy” hope to win :)
Charlene
I plan to get my stamp area organized.
Kate
Craft goal #2: Do what I can in the time that I have and enjoy doing it. When it becomes a chore and a stress, it is no longer fun.
BECCA BECCA FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU FOR THE BLOG CANDY.
MY MAIN GOAL IS TO SEE SOMETHING AND BE ABLE TO FIGURE
OUT A WAY TO USE IT AND MAKE THE CARD SOMETHING SPECIAL
CYNTHIA
Another one of my crafting goals is to randomly send cards to friends and family letting them know how much they mean to me. I regularly do that for our sons, but not as good about diong that for other people. My best goal would be one per week, but if I can do two per month, I think that would be a great start!
My goal is to keep my stamp area clean and neat and while I’m at it organized.
I want to share some of my old paper and brags with a few people.
Afternoon sweet lady, hope your day is pleasant!
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.
thanks for all the inspiration.another craft goal- never give up-
it will turn out al lright eventually
Another goal will be to finish all the halfmade project, I have hidden in my halfdone basket LOL. I don´t know why, but some times, I just don´t seems to be able to finish some things, and they just keep waiting and waiting, while I keep making other things instead LOL, so I´ll ned to get better to finish everything, before I start on something new.
HAve a wonderful day dear friend.
Thank you for another wonderful tutorial, beautiful, I hope mine look half as pretty as yours’ does.
:)Blessings, Lori m
As always, another beautiful project…..and some great candy. My goal is to try and get my crafting mojo back. I moved a while ago and I think I left my creativity at the old house. Hoping 2011 will be the year to restart :)
Wow! That is a beautiful “Honeycomb Ornament” I want to give it a try. I am working on getting Christmas put away before I start other projects. Another goal for 2011….not to get too many projects going at once. {Hugs}
I bought a cinch binding machine with coils but have yet to do anything with it. I would love to do a family cookbook with my favorite recipes and bind it together and share with the family. Hopefully I can keep on track and get it done in 2011.
I love the new look of your blog! I love coming here to look at all the gorgeous eye candy and to be inspired. My crafting goal is to craft at least 3 times a week. I have really slacked off since September (life has been too busy) and now I’m ready to cut back on other things and immerse myself in paper and glue.
My goal is to become an expert with the copic markers!!!
Becca, just loved the ‘Heart’. It looks so complicated,
but truly, when shown like you did, it falls into place
quite easily. I’m going to try a few. Thank you.
Love the blog candy – always great stuff.
I am ba-a-a-a-a-ck trying to win the Bog candy LOL My goal of learning to use my new Digital camera is making progress.. The batteries are now in the camera :)
My goal got put off again, due to drs appt. I’m still trying, but at least I got two cards finished and in the mail, did 5 yesterday, so at least part of my goal is working. thanks for the chance to win some grand prizes.
I’m aiming to be more productive this year, and make more cards, and perhaps get some of my travel scrapbooks done as well.
My desire is to learn to make bows and have them resemble Becca’s bows! Trust me, my work is cut out for my bow challenged mind and hands.
So much fun playing your double play. I got behind and missed some words. Oh well, I still can give your some “warm and fuzzy” comments! Thanks for the chance to win, Becca. You are the best and my favorite of all blog crafters!
Hello! Great candy! My crafting goals for 2011 are to learn more skills for card making. Thanks for having such an informative blog! :)
Hi Becca,
Once again you have inspired me and I think I will have to try to make this.
My goal for this year is to tie Bows just like you do. I love ribbon and try to put a bow on nearly every card.
WOw, Becca! I was not subscribed to your blog before but now I will need to be. Your right angle punch is AWESOME! Did you post a third one? i can’t seem to find it.
Don’t think I’ll end up winning the blog candy since there are already 646+ comments! LOL
My goals for the year are to try to complete one challenge a month on SCS and to try to make whatever tutorial comes out every Wednesday on SCS. Oh, and to also start using my copics more and not just stamping.
Thanks!
Another goal is I would like tolose some weight!!!! lol
Another craft goal for 2011; sounds so obvious, but I really need to purge and organize my craft area. Even though I may be moving it to a new space in a few months, I need to be able to work efficiently until then.
This year I want to use that paper I have been saving for a special project.
My goal this year is to try some new technique once a week and to use my stash, and not buy so many new things. I really enjoy your blog, Happy New Year to you!
Hi Becca,Love all the delightful creations you show us. One of my craft goals is to create more original items – they may be inspired by others, but I want my stamp on them. complete is probably the operative word there.
This year I am going to have a cleaner, more streamlined and more efficient craft room. I have already started cleaning out. It always helps for me to start someone into rubberstamping. That way I can clean out seldom used things and the over abundance of papers. I am now rearranging. There is hope! Here is a wish for a happier New Year for you!
I have ordered the Heirloom Ornaments and can’t wait to try this!
Becca, I was just wonering if these nestabilites would work in the cuttlebug, or are they too large? Gee, if I did win, that would be a great reason to by a new toy!
I would love to enter more challenges this year. I’m trying for at least one a week but we’ll see how long I can keep that up. :)
I also have several crafting goals for 2011 mainly to try and keep my craft room more organised – I am surrounded by crafting stash just to make one card. Thanks Becca for all the inspiration and for the opportunity of blog candy.
Hi Becca, thanks for the blog candy. I’m going to TRY to not buy so much paper this year, but use my stash! That is really a challenge for me because I LOVE all the fabulous papers out there. Love all your cards and tutorials. Thanks for sharing.
thank you so much for breaking down how to make the honeycomb ornaments. you’ve made it so simple to follow. another of my crafting goals for 2011 is to conquer the ins and outs of etsy and getting a webpage set up.
Well here goes again…now I have 3 words…not sure if this is working…
I am always so impressed by your creativity. The honeycomb ornaments are amazing, and then you put together a tutorial for it too? As my kids would say, “You rock!”
Another of my crafting goals is to scrapbook the trip we took to Switzerland last August. I bought the scrapbook and special pages yesterday. I want to have it done to take it to/display it at, our family reunion in July. I need to start it now!
My goal is to stamp and scrap every Friday! Love you Grace Gods Blessings On you and your family:)
My craft goals for 2011 include to stamp more often,use the supplies I already have and start my Christmas cards early and have them DONE before the end of October:-)
Thanks for the awesome blog candy and for all of the sharing you do on your wonderful blog! I always learn so much from you!
Inky hugs,
Janet
thanks for the honeycomb tutorial – and your words of encouragement – which brings up my next resolution –
after delving into the “unknown” cache of paper I keep finding when organizing my supplies I’ll make this ornament and give it away as a gift!
Love it! I just can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
Another goal for me is to attend one scrapbook retreat a month. I get so much done and it does my soul so much good to get away.
I just absolutely love your heart ornament, and the others I’ve seen. Your tutorials are great….easy to follow, and lots of pictures to follow. I prefer the pictures over videos.
My goal for 2011 is to switch bedrooms, so that the largest one will now be my craftroom. I’d have lots of light, and tons of room. I need to rearrange everything!
Thanks so much for sharing your fantastic creations, and for a chance to with the grand nestibilities. I love all of them!
I can’t believe it. I’m already off to a slow start on my New Years plans. I am not going to get to my boys scrapbook for at least a couple more weeks. I have pages to finish for a niece before we see them this weekend and then I have a baby gift that should have been made long ago.
The good news is I am going to a 12 crop on the 22nd so I hope to catch up a little then. As long as I don’t spend too much time chatting. lol
Thanks again for offering the blog candy
Susie
Thank you for the tutorial! Oh the possibilities…I hope to get the craft room cleaned up and fully functional again very soon so I can try this one.
really like the honeycomb tutorial,thanks and also for the candy.Sure would love that also
I love your website. I just ‘signed on’ and am excited to see what you come up with next. My goal is to get better organized and get more daring and creative with my card design. With your help, I’ll be able to reach that goal!
Here for my daily inspiration!!!!!
Jen
Your work is always amazing to me and your tutorials make it easy to follow to make my own.
I’m still working.. but I hope to be a bit more organized, so I won’t agonize so much.. and make the most of the time I have to craft and make cards.
Thanks for all you inspiration.
love your blog. hope you are having a great day.
Love the project.
love your work…….beautifulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
the heart is beautiful……….just in time for Valentines
Kathy
Love all spellbinders and especially the nesties. My crafting goal is to get my room and stuff more organzied so I can create more. Your site is a great inspiration to me. Frances
Love the ornament. Can’t wait to try it. God Bless You in 2011
One of my craft goals for the year is to make a memory book of my mom for my sister.
Hi Becca. One of my goals is to use my papers that I have been hording, that are “too pretty to use!”
Hey Becca, back and I to love reading the comments, I find them fascinating!
whew I didn’t get an e-mail today so I am glad I didn’t forget to leave a comment
I want to go back and look at your cool torturial!
The word today is unknown
thanks :)
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.
Wishing you a blessed 2011!
Love the honeycomb ornament. I hope to do more scrap pages this year.
I’d like to get pictures on my assembly line scrapbook pages.
Another Goal of mine this year is to keep a daily snapshot of my life by taking pictures of everyday things, and jotting down something that happened every day. I started this on January 1st, and I hope by the end of the year I’ll have a years worth of fun memories & pictures that give an everyday ‘real’ glimpse of what my life was like, similar to the “project life” concept Becky Higgins is doing, but without the kit.
Hi Becca!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations with us. You are an inspiration to “us” in both your creativity and your spirit. I hope 2011 bring everything good to you. My craft goal for 2011, like so many others, is to get my craft supplies more organized and to make cards for all my family for their birthdays! Thanks for the opportunity to win the wonderful blog candy!! Jude
I hope to be able to do some cardmaking with my daughter. She loves to make cards but doesn’t have any room in her place so hopefully she’ll come and spend sometime with me. Thanks so much for all your inspiration.
Another goal for 2011- To keep things ORGANIZED & finish the organizing I’ve started!!!! Crafters CAN BE messy people, IT JUST HAPPENS!!!!!! LOL
That honeycomb tutorial looks like something I really want to try! Thanks for posting! Another craft goal I have is to try different things craftwise.
Love that ornament tutorial…off to play!
No resolutions for me…just want to have the opportunity to be more creative…and to show kindness in all situations…Happy New Year!
Day 3 and more goals for 2011:
1. learn Photoshop Elements via I-net or class
2. make cardboard binders for all ribbon rolls with Cricut spool pattern
3. try machine stitching with various stitches
this is fun–like getting a ‘to do’ list together for the year!
thanks again for a third op to win sweets!
I have to organize all the baby clothes my 3 year old has outgrown. Big, BIG job.
I LOVE spellbinders! Can’t wait to try these new Grands.
And can’t wait to see the instructions on that beautiful calendar gift box you were given. Thanks for the chance to play for some blog candy!
I have never entered a card challenge so my goal for 2011 is to enter at LEAST one!
I would love to try the block of wood with the compartments.
Another of my craft goals is to try and remember to save a pic of what I have created so I can share them with others,
thanks again for giving us the chance to win some of these great prizes
best wishes
Susan
My craft goals is to allow more time in my busy schedule for crafting. I want to spend more time making photo books of the fabulous trips we have taken. The pictures just sit on my computer. Hopefully, it will be a year of stretching myself to try new techniques, spending more time on stamping and enjoying each day to its fullest, Happy New Year, Becca!
Shirley L.
Roseville, CA
One thing that I would love to be able to do is organize my space and supplies a bit more efficiently. Love the ornament tutorial!
R/
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!
Blessings,
Cathie
My aim is to use the craft goodies that I have previously purchased and to only buy things that I really need!!!
i have been away for a few days and just got back and catching up on some emails- you are so generous as always- my crafting goal is to create and post work at least once if not more a week on my blog, enter various challenges each week -try and impress enough to get on a couple of design teams and to purchase and learn to use a digital cutter
Another cool idea. Love the heart.
Ter ;)
What a wonderful, beautiful and sunny day we are having here today. Hope yours is as nice.
LOVE this ornament!!! Thanks for the details! I will have to try it now.
Also, thanks for a chance at the candy!!
I want to scrap more in this year than I have been doing. I’d also
like to be better organized. I REALLY want to win the lottery so I
can scrap non-stop, organize, and have a new craft room!!!
Never hurts to wish, right?
plugging away on the double play words – staying true to my original post of getting more crafting and stamping done – I just got done making some anniversary party invites for a friend………I love Autumn colors but they are tough to work with for Anni invites…so I made a few with those colors and some with traditional colors.and will show some wedding invitations that I made last year for some more ideas for her to chose from!
Always look forward to what you’re going to come up with next Becca.
Brenda White
Another crafting goal this year is to learn to color better! : )
The honeycomb heart looks like such fun!! thanks for sharing!
Another goal is to get at least 5 punches or dies I’ve had on my list by April–my birthday month. I hope I can, any way.
Aaugh…having computer/internet problems! Oh well. Another of my crafting goals is to use colour pencils more often as part of my back-to-basics challenge. I am particularly interested in trialling some Derwent INKtense pencils as watercolour pencils.
You are helping me to stay on target with my organization plans for my crafting space……Each day I am spending 30 minutes organizing and then writing you a thank you on your blog……Thank you for all the wonderful projects that you have shared with us
Texie
Another 2011 item on my agenda is to go through my stamps and eliminate what I don’t want anymore.
Love your tutorial…thank you so much for sharing your talent!
Jan Castle
My goal this year is to use more of the goodies in my stash!
This is awesome – definitely want to try it. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for the ornament tutorial Becca. Another goal that I have for this year is to spend less money on craft supplies and use more of what I have on hand.
Hello again sweet lady!
a 3rd craft goal is to make at LEAST 20 cards a month and have at LEAST 11 of them for Operation Write Home (this is a very manageable goal-should be able to pull it off) LOL
Thank you yet again :)
Susan
Hello again Becca
I am not sure I truely grasp the concept, but I have a collection of 5 words now ;0)
My next Craft ambition is to find some one to pass my skills on to. I have been blessed with 3 sons, and as yet, my only Granddaughter is a retired racing Greyhound that my eldest Son re-named Eve.
Big hugs
Cally (from across the Pond) x
Another of my goals is to finish my Christmas cards by the end of October so that I don’t put more pressure on myself than I already got.
Wow I’ve done well this time Becca….I’ve got your first 5 words!!
Love Sheila xx
Another pledge for this year is to be a better person. I want to be more giving.
well, i’m back again, trying hard to win your double-play. another goal is to start doing a little more mixed media art work. i have been stashing stuff away with this in mind, now i just need to do it. i have promised my sisters (3) a page honoring our mother, who just passed away last summer.
You inspire me to spend more time on my cards!
Another goal for 2011 is to purchase reinkers for the stamp pads I already own. Have a great day.
Another goal is to make time for myself & my art & not feel guilty about it.
great changes and beautiful cards as usual
Not exactly a crafting resolution – but plain and simple for this year I am working on just being a better person – a better sister, daughter, mother, grandmother and friend.
And, in the long run, if I become a better crafter YAHOO!!
Wow, Becca – as I type this, you’ve had 735 comments on your blog. Wonderful that so many of us are willing to share our crafting goals.
Another goal for this new year is that as I organize my stamps into specific groups, that I try to be honest about stamps that I haven’t used and either trade or sell them, or use them. Could be fun and I might find a new favorite.
hugs
One of my goals for 2011 is to make items throughout the year to sell at a local craft show in November. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent!
Jenny L.
Can’t wait to see what comes out at CHA this year. I hear there are new Grand dies! I need to clean the craft area and make room for the great new items. Happy New Year.
Wow Becca–look at all these comments! It’s fun reading everones goals. Another goal of mine is to get my craft room organized and keep it organized! Thanks for the ornament tutoria. Have a great day!
Another of my 2011 craft goals is to actually get the cards I make sent out in a timely manner! To share them with the people who are most important to me.
My goal is to be ahead of the game this year. Continually being behind doesn’t help matters. Thanks for the chance. Hugs, Nellie.
One of my key craft goals is to sort out exactly what craft supplies I already have on hand and start with using those first.
This is ANOTHER ORGANIZATIONAL goal-Anyone have kitties????? I’m finding I HAVE TO keep EVERYTHING, pencils, markers, tape, ribbon, EVEN STAMPS, and that includes if they’re in those little clear boxes, like SU, PUT UP!!!! My poor husband had to go down to the trash bin & fetch a bag of trash out!!!! The kitties had knocked a WHOLE SET of stamps into the trashcan!!!!! THANK GOODNESS, I was making a card that night & discovered they were missing!!!!! WHEW!!!! THAT was a CLOSE ONE!!!! I GUESS YOU CAN’T BE TOOOOO NEAT with kitties in the house!!!! LOL
Hi Becca!!! Thank you so much for the chance to win such awesome blog candy. You are such an inspiration, both crafty and spiritually!!! I love your cards and projects and really loved the last tuturial – Honeycomb Ornament. My craft resolution this year is to actually make cards/scrap my photos, instead of just reading other peoples’ blogs, and collecting ideas and goodies for my ever-growing stash!!!! I am going to try to live more simply this year and thus, have the time for me!!! Thanks again, Becca!!!!
One of my crafting goals is to be an encouragement to others.
So many goals so little time…. Look at all these inspirational goals :)
My number one goal this year is to get my morning walk in before I sit down at the computer, once there I lose track of time… by the way anyone know what time it is :)
One of my crafting goals this year is to finally start working on a scrap book on each of my kids throughout the years. I have plenty of pictures and paper to do it, I just need to get started. LOL!
Wowo that is beautiful. I can’t wait to see what your next project is. You are truely amazing!
Good morning Becca, I love your amazing quotes on the blog.
i’m working on organizing my crafting space(s)!!! made some progress yesterday in one section of my rooms! thanks so much for the honeycomb tutorial!
Love your ornament! Another goal would be to take more pictures.
Good morning and have a wonderful day today.
My craft goal for 2011 is to start making my Christmas cards early in the summer. I usually wait until the beginning of December and then rush to make the simpliest card I can come up with. This year I want to take my time and make one of a kind cards for my family and friends.
Another stamping goal – to make cards and gift items AHEAD of time and have them ready for when I need them!!
What Betty Goodson said is right on the money! Exactly Betty!!
goals for crafting … been toying with acrylic paints. may even cross craft.
Resolution to use more of the stuff I’ve already got! I have virgin rubber stamps sitting around, and lots of bling and embellishments that need to be opened and USED!
To use more of the stuff I have before going to the store for more. Boy is the hard. LOL
Your Sister in Christ
Christine
Loved the Nestabilities.
Another craft goal is to dedicate more time to creating. I want to be more like you, Becca!
I want to have a more organized crafting space. I’ve started but it’s quite a project.
Susan
Hi Becca. One of my goals is to find a better solution for storage. I don’t have a crafting area, so all my stuff sits in shoe boxes that I take out and put back every time I make a card. I spend more time looking for something than I do making the card!
Another craft goal for 2011 is to use up my paper stash, I am a big paper hog or paper collector.
Good Morning,
My craft goals are to stop looking and admiring and get to crafting. I look at everyone’s talent and say dang they are good. I get scared and just look. I have been blessed to get all the tools and some space, now I just have to believe in myself. My goal is to get busy! 2011
Becca,
If I achieve all my goals for 2011 then I’m in for a busy year, I have a spare bedroom which I hope to convert into my craftroom (another of my goals) if I achieve this then I can truthfully say I believe in miracles.
take care keep smiling
Susan
My goals for this year will be to unpack what I have and figure out what I need once I move.
I love your blog and all your cards! Great Job. Love the new look!
I guess I’m in trouble I only have 4 words????
Becca,
This year I would like to stamp out every stamp I own and make a card with it. Happy New Year and thanks for the chance to win blog candy. Mary
WOW, what great blog candy. i love ALL your cards and creations! They are so beautiful. A crafting goal of mine this year is to not get behind on projects, to stay focused and not wait until the last minute to start a project. Let’s hope I can stay on course!
I Love to play Double play…thanks for a chance to win.
I’m thankful for you and your beautiful creations.
My goal is to make beautiful layered cards like you do. I learn so much from your blogs. Thank You.
Just checking in for a word! Have an awesome day :)
Another craft goal is to have some fun with my older(alot older) stamps this year. I have some never used yet. Thanks for the chance to win. Have a great day.
Goal #3 is to get organized!
I love how you are now putting instructions as well as photos. I’m a visual person and it really helps me out. THanks Becca
I need the word better in my craft vocab
things can always get better
My craft resalution for 2011 is to have a new card made to put in the church card basket where we meet for our playdates. We make cards that the church can use to send to members for sickness, sympothy, and shut ins. I will try to have one made for each week to help out the church. We have about 16 ladies that come and we work and have fellowship. We are incouragement for each other and we share a lot of life with each other.
Becca, I am excited for the Features and Gallery. Do you have date when we might be able to see them. I love your site, it is beautiful….
Another goal this year is to use new products I bought last year! Some have been sitting around for awhile and haven’t been touched!
Craft goal #3: Get organized…purge and play. The nesties would be a fine match for the Grand Calibur I bought today! Thanks for the opportunity to play today!
Good Morning Becca
Just got the next word – another goal this year is to share what I don’t use or need.Have a Great day
Wed entry–goal #3–donate, donate and share my stash. In some areas, I have more stuff than I will ever use. I want to share it with friends, organizations while it is still “in style” and can be used. I have already 1 box full of goodies to share with a niece who is on a very, very limited budget and loves to scrapbook her 3 kids.
Good morning! Thank you, my on-line friend, for the many ways you teach and inspire me!
Hugz!
Good morning Becca — seems like my next crafting goal is shared by a lot of others. I need to purge/organize my supplies, and hopefully find a workable space to have everything in one place.
Word Play is fun. I get to enjoy looking on your site more often. Thanks for all the talented work you do. I love making your cards. Hope to meet you one day.
Using my new camera goal is progressing. The Memory card is now in the camera LOL No point in rushing this process !! Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous Blog candy . Also thanks for the tutorial for the Honeycomb ornament. Of course I love everything you do!
Hi Becca~You sure made the ornament template easy to follow; thank you! I’m going to make a bunch!
Now I have another resolution, make one of those cool calendar boxes. Hope that Wanda passes on where to find the directions. What a great gift.
Becca~
I am loving this…Having the instructions for this gives me time to create some of these for Valentine’s Day… Love your new look also..Take care,jackie
What a great new look your blog has. I just started playing your double blog. I plan to make a set of cards for every major holiday as well as birthday, thinking of you and sympathy cards for a special group of my friends.
Good Morning Becca…One of my goals is to finish my wedding scapbook…Hope u have a nice day!!
Thank you for a chance to win some great items.
The ornament is amazing! Still cleaning out and reorganizing.
I just got some new paper punches so am anxious to use them. I’ve done everything digitally until now so am having fun learning new techniques.
Another crafting goal I have for this year is to purge my supplies — and, give the items I don’t use away so someone else can use them. Hand-in-hand w/ that is to get organized (so I’m not moving back/forth from one room to another to gather items whenever I’m creating).
More of the same just trying to get more organized. Thanks for a chance to win.
I make my cards to fit the enevlopes, therefore I’m always cutting a bit off. My goal is for my scrap pile to actually get smaller as I try harder to incorporate more scraps back into the cards.
I love your tutorials and the amazing things you share with us. Keep up the good work!!
craft goal… try to make more use of my embellishment stock!
One of my goals is to spend less on new crafts supplies and use up more of my stash.
Another of my goals this year is to plan ahead a little more and get things done in a timely fashion.
Another day….another chance to win! Juhu…….. ! I like to keep my craft table need and tidy after each project I’m doing. Have an awesome day Becca!
I keep checking those words! This is my first blog candy entry and Double Play. Kinda fun!
This year I want to share my craft and supplies with others. Thanks for your inspiring blog.
Another craft goal is to keep my craft area tidy! It is good for a while and then gets progressively worse until I can’t stand it and do a big clean up. Want to clean as I go this year :)
that is very clever going to try and make one thanks for the lesson…..
Another of my goals for this year may be, to finally make some tutorials of things, I have made earlier, and promissed to make some clear instructions and share with my friends. I have been onto it once, but never got it finished, as I realized, HOW big a work it was to make such a tutorial LOL. So now I´m even more grateful for all those, you´ve shared with us over the past LOL.
Have a great day hun.
I happenend to come here via a nestabilities tutorial….it was great…as is this candy….it is just gorgeous….tonight I was dreaming about the grand Calibur…the big nesties are fantastic…I already own the smaller ones….maybe for my birthday???
Love your blog!
xxx Margreet
My goals this year is to learn many new techniques. I just love learning new things!!! Having fun with paper :)
My third crafting goal for this new year is to finish my signature block to add to my photos — a small, but hopefully attainable goal! I was just wanting to emboss the front of a card I’m making that fits a business envelope and realized IF I had the Grand Calibur, I could run my card through with my embossing folder, whereas right now, my card it too wide to do that! Another reason to accomplish my first goal to save up and buy the GC!!! ;-)
I’m really excited, I have all of the secret words! Maybe I’ll get lucky this time. I have a lot of paper but don’t have the things you are offering to spice them up! Hoping things are going well for you!
Hello again
I am looking for the second word for today and don’t see it yet -I will try back later –it is 2:30 pm here in not so sunny Florida
Thanks Becca
BECCA BECCA MY GOAL IS TO USE SOMETHING AND AS SOON AS
I AM DONE, TO PUT IT WHERE IT BELONGS. THEN I SHALL HAVE A
VERY CLEAN WORK ROOM.
CYNTHIA
I am sooo curious about the words. Are they random? A puzzle? A quote? Can’t wait for the next one.
Becca,
I can’t wait to try that honeycomb heart. I am still trying to reach my goal of cleaning up my craft room so that I can more easily do my crafting projects. I’m getting there slowly but surely. ~Gin~
I hope to send all my friends home made Christmas cards this year (very easy to say in January :). They always feel more personal, and are fun to make as well :)
Stopping in again! :)
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.
Cally x
I’d love to try more of the projects that you post. Maybe case some of your projects. I am so amazed at things your do. I also love Becca’s Bits and miss them. I hope that you can find some time in 2011 to give us all some more tips on how to make crafting fun and easy! Thanks, Becca, for all you do!
I need to try more techniques. There are so many techniques I haven’t tried, so that”s another craft goal for this year. Thanks for the chance to win. Have a great day.
Hi, Becca. Hope you had a really good day. one of my goals is to clean my sewing room! It’s a total disaster area!!!
I waiting on my goodie bag!!!!!!! :)
Charlene
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.
Hi , My goals for the new crafting year is to get more organized and
try to come up with more home decor . The word for the day is better.
Sure would love the blog candy. Love your honey comb tutorial.
I would like to try this idea on a card .Thanks again
God Bless
Carolyn Hill
The word of the day has not yet changed . I wonder if the site is frozen ?
This time difference really messed me up! How many words have been given out? Think I missed one!!
I’m right in the middle of making a honeycomb heart. Not going so well, but will keep at it.
Concerned that the 2nd word for today isn’t posting and I’m afraid I’m going to miss it.
My goal is to organize my craft room so that I can try some of the items you have tutorials for. You are a great inspiration to me. I check you blog daily to see what’s new.
I thought I’d messed up too. The second word for today isn’t showing up yet, but I don’ think it’s us. I hope everything is o.k. with Becca.
Organization, organization, organization is what my resolution needs to be!
Becca is an inspiration and I love her organizational tutorials. However, sometimes I think it would take me the rest of my life to get it all organized. Maybe it’s too far gone!?
Im having a problem with the words too, I’ve been on top of them each time but Im only getting this morning one , mine won’t show the after 12:0pm ( noon) Mi .time zone. Im more worriered about you Becca cause I m sure were on the same time zone and it’s not like you to have anything missed>. please let us know all is well.
Nesties are some of my favorite tools and I don’t have these so wouldn’t it be great to win?…..
I think I’m going to finally have alll the words and the last one is not up. Or did I miss one anyway?
Yea!!! the word just changed. Maybe I have a chance after all. Good luck to everyone. Especially good luck to the ones who plan to organize. I’m not off to a great start.
I love all of the spellbinder dies!! I hope to get my new craft area up and running sooner rather than later. It is driving me crazy that I don’t have one area to craft in.
I love love your designs, I also am so grateful that you share directions to these beautiful projects.
Thank you
Marion
love the honey comb tut.
better to be known than unknown! thanks for sharing
I was worried I missed a day somewhere! thank goodness it’s the computer’s fault!
As I was scrolling down I saw another post that is perfect for me…
I need to accept my cards as they are and not stress out about them.
I’ve been away from the computer for a week, and missed checking in to see what you have been doing. This year for me would be spending more time crafting and also learning to digitize :)
More great inspirational goodies! I just realized I hadn’t deleted some of your older posts on my email, what a joy to revisit them.
I should probably add learn to blog as a goal for 2011. I am old and it may be hard to teach me new technology. lol {Hugs} Peggy
I just love your website! You are an inspiration…God bless!!!
it’s my birthday tomorrow and I don”t havr to work so I will be playing in my craft room all day:) Thanks Becca – hope
i didnt mess up on the words
One crafting goal for this year is to make sets of cards that can be used as gifts. I especially like to make smaller notes that can either have a quick note jotted in them or sent as they are. I have made some of these for a few people and they are always a hit!
I should have known you would have something fun for the new year.
Another craft goal for the year is to keep up with bday cards, and get them to the bday person before the bday!
craft goal would be to get rid of things that I gathered and will never use!!!
so that means I would have to go in the room and create a mess….
thanks Becca for a chance for some blog candy!
One of my goals this year is to learn new techniques. Your site Becca is a great source for new ideas and techniques.
I would like to tackle more altered projects. I have a stash of unique tins, boxes, etc. that I have been saving and I need to convert them into something crafty.
Love thos beautiful flowers as well. Once the flowers are all used you can save the container for storage, such as bling!! It kind of reminds me of the magnetic containers that you can get at the dollar store. They work great!
My goal is to finish some unfinished porjects that my online art group is doing. I would love to win those nesties!
just checking in for a word. have a great day.
Thanks for the blog candy. I have already broken my craft goal I posted yesterday—-a new Hobby Lobby opened close to me and I bought some paper! Love your blog!
I need to organize EVERYTHING .
Another goal for the year is to be more tolerant. Sometimes my patience wears a little thin!
love the nesties and the differant ways you can use them.
Great Job
Becca I’m still trying to play this double play!
One of my goals is to take more time to be creative. Sometimes I think (after the fact) while I’m sitting there watching TV, that I could have been creating something, lol ;)
Thanks so much for the chance to win this fab candy!
Another thing I want to focus on this year is my coloring,I hope learn how to get a pleasing result.
Jocelan P
Checking in again today. I am so sorry that you are having a bad day with all your technical problems. Please know that your new blog design is really nice and I sure hope what you are trying to accomplish will so come to full completion.
First timer trying for blog candy. Don’t quite have it figured out yet. Oh well. Thank you very much for sharing your talent! Goal? Spend more time playing with my stuff!
thanks for the chance to win, another resolution I have for this year is to purge my unwanted/unused items this year
This is exciting! LOVE your creative genius!
Day FOUR and a couple more goals for 2011…
1. sort through scrap papers and organize them
2. try making the homemade Prima flowers
3. help my daughter and grandson with a baby scrapbook for him and the new baby due in May/June
thanks * 4 for this op to win some of your stash!
to scrap more!
thanks for the fun!
Sandra ltb
This has been so comfussing. Blog started on the 2nd. today is the 5th so there should be 4 words. But others say they have 6 words. Please help us with this one. I know I’m not gonna win. But I would like to once get all the right words.
I plan to teach my granddaughter the joy of creating something with their own hands that other will cherish. Have a great day.
Another goal is to do even more cards for OWH. I really believe in giving back and this is a marvelous way to do it.
R/
One of my greatest goals for the new year is to spend more time really paying attention to and playing with my kids. We are together so much, I tend to go about what I have to do and let them do their thing. I so need to interact with them more AND make them put down their video games.
If I start now, i may be able to send out hand crafted Christmas cards.
oooh boy…got lost some where,I don’t have all the words…..but at least I can try for one..I think?????
I wanted to thank you again Becca for giving us a chance to win your blog candy! 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.
Becca technology is great when everything works like it should. :)
Another of my craft goals is to use goodies from my stash and not buy in if possible – I just broke that goal at a shop sale.
I just love this…my 88 yr old mother, who still is an avid gardener, would so enjoy it. Thanks for the chance to win. Times are tough in KS right now, as they are all over our country. 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.
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 all
Hi. I’ve been reading some of the comments (Hope that’s OK) and am surprised to see so many of us have set getting organized as a goal for 20ll. Think it’s just the Achilles Heel of crafters?
Hello Becca,
Lots and lots of goals to reach but if I achieve one it’s a start, I have lots of “must have” in my stash all new and never used so I am determined to use them this year…fingers crossed for me
Susan
Another big goal of mine this year is to tackle my list of projects “to do someday” … I’ve decided that at least monthly (hopefully more frequently though!!) I will pick something off that someday list and do it. Here’s hoping! :)
spend less time stressing on all that needs to get done.
Another good resolution for me would be to finish up projects that I’ve started instead of getting seduced to start a new project. Thanks for the chance to win fabulous blog candy.
another one of my goals is to contine to give the gift I was given by our lord and give as many cards I can to others and to enjoy each day for one thing that has been given to us.
I love the Honeycomb Ornament Tutorial, it’s great, so want to give that a try. I’m sure it would impress whom ever got one!
Thanks for sharing your talents and the tutorials.
Have a great rest of the week, hopefully a more productive one too.
Glad you got the glitch fixed. I want to renew my interest in some of my older stamps and old is paid for…. so find a newer use for them….do a little remodeling.
Your new website is beautiful! Its always a treat to go to your website and see what your latest post is about.
Good morning Becca, One goal for me will be get to use what I already have much more, before wishing for new stuff, so I can get used up of things, before getting more new.
Have a great day dear friend and thanks sooo much for your great site here.
Another thing I’d like to accomplish this year is cleaning up all the half done cards I have on hand. I work very slowly and carefully so I often can’t get finished in the time allotted.
Brenda White
One of my goals for 2011 is to organize my craft tools better so I don’t waste so much time looking for things when I am in the middle of a project. And to be more thankful that I have so many to look through!
the little ornament heart is sooo cute…another success Miss Becca!
My goal to learn to use my new camera is almost ready for the first picture. The new tripod is set up sans the camera. Tomorrow I will take my first picture!! Wish me luck! Thanks for the chance to win the fantastic blog candy–Love your site and splendid ideas
Hi Becca…. I think I left my comment at the wrong place…So I am trying again here…..Thank you for everything you do for us…..Today while I was doing my 30 minutes of organizing….I found several things that I had forgotten that I had bought…so I guess you saved me some money today..Yea…….Thank you also for the instructions, tutorials, and videos that you create for us.Thank you for just being YOU…….How sweet to leave todays word up for 24 hours to make sure it was fair for everyone…You are so thoughtful…..
Texie
Another of my crafty goals — to use up my hoarded supply of craft goodies before I buy more.
Hope you are getting a little rest Becca…I would love to try the grands, so hope I win!
Another goal for this year is to get more organized. Thanks so much for a chance to win this great prize.
This year I am going to make my Christmas cards and gifts throughout the whole year and not just towards the end of the year.
This is my first time playing blog candy…. I would love to try those nesties.
Another goal is to try and remember to copy what I’ve created and upload to my blog
Susan
To enjoy my time crafting – without feeling guilty that I should have been doing “something else.
Organization is at the top of my list especially my garage that you can’t park a car in! I can’t wait till I can afford a couple of the Grand Nestabilities.
My goal is to enter some card making challenges through out 2011!
Good morning…I have been leaving comments each and every day and telling you about things I want to achieve this year. Another thing I have on my mind is to slow down and savor the journey!
I also wanted to add to other post was to get more organized in my crafting life in 2011. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
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!
hugs
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!
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.
I love your creations and also the sharing of your wonderful talent. It is one of my first postings I look for each day. You have been such a blessing also, to me, for your strong faith.
God bless, Jeanielou
My goal has always been to share my talents with others. 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.
Hugs, Jeanielou
Another thought. Perhaps if I spent less time on this machine, surfing, I would manage to get more cards done.
Hugs
Cally (from across the Pond) x
Becca,
I would like to have all my Christmas cards for 2011 done by the end of October. That is my goal. Mary
Another goal for 2011 is to enjoy each day and accomplish what I can and not stress about what I can not. Thanks again for giving someone a chance to win your blog candy. God bless.
I really need to spend less time on the computer and more time creating
My goal for this year is to clean the craft room and keep it in better shape to aid in creating at any time. Thanks for the chance to win blog candy and your wonderful blog, I enjoy reading it.
Wow, glad I signed in this morning .. got the new word, or possibly the word from yesterday and was able to get to this post. I think I’ve got all the words so far which is a first for me! Thanks for the chance to win Becca!
as always thanks for the inspiration
Thanks for giving us the word today “known” but in the word box it has “the” wrote it down not sure which to use.
Another goal I have is to use what I have and learn to use scraps of cardstock to make something really pretty. Thank You for a chance to win.
Another of my craft goals is to use what I have. Not always so easy when people bring out new and more interesting papers, ribbons etc.
Thanks for the chance to win. I’ve been collecting words dilligently for the last 3 and a half days one to go.
Only one more word! This is fun. It’s my first ever blog contest, don’t know why I waited so long to join in!
Would love to have more time to do my crafting so hopefully can set aside some more time for it this year. Thanks for a chance to win.
WOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL these comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEW!!!!!!!!!!
Checking in EARLY!!!!!!! Can’t wait to see what you’ll post today!!!! :)
ANOTHER Crafting goal: TIME BLOCKING!!!! Make sure I block out a time during the day or weekly for my crafts!!! You can’t REFINE YOUR CRAFT if you don’t DO IT!!!!!!!!
ok, organized, used, made, send my pretties off. it’s time for me to take more classes so i can make even more prettier pretties
Thanks for offering some neat blog candy. I want to give myself more time for creating this year.
A day before our sons wedding… Thanks for the chance. Hugs, Nellie.
My aim is to be more original in my designs, not stick to favourites for too long, experiment with change and find more time to do all this —- how!!!!!! time will tell
Anne
You do such marvelous things. Thank you. My goal this year is to SEND more cards.
Thank you for the free word, I have all the words and can’t wait to get the last one. Another craft goal for 2011 is to find a way to organize and place things in my craft room that will help me create. I seem to organize and then re-organize, I want to organize and be happy with the end results.
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!
Now that my craft room is clean and organize my goal is to keep it that way.
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.
These words are sounding an awful lot like the sermon our pastor gave this past Sunday…….we’ll see soon.
I just sold my house last night so I’m getting excited about my big move from Canada to NC. It will be fun to set up a new craft room. Thanks again for the great blog candy you are offering.
back again to comment, another goal for me this year is to catch up on scrapbooking of my granddaugther’s first year of life
Hi I have just discovered your blog, what amazing tutorials & projects, thanks for sharing.
I was so excited to dind your blog, I forgot to leave my craft goals…. I plan to use up my existing stash of paper and card, try to enter more card challenges to streatch my creativity and share crafting techniques with friends.
Goal is to get more organized. Oh, I said that already. I must really need this one!!!!!!!
Susan
My goal for the year is to start using my 1000’s of photo’s and to make the scrapbooks that I have been wanting to do for ages! I have all the stuff, just have to DO IT!
Thank you for giving us a chance to win great blog candy!
I have just added the goal of reorganizing my craft space to my list for 2011. What a wonderful accomplishment that will be – if I manage to obtain it!!! Thanks for the chance to win some wonderful blog candy!
I need to set a goal to actually send out more of the many cards I create — sad that the greatest joy seems to be in the making, yet it is always so sweet to hear that someone enjoyed my creation when it arrived in their mailbox!!!
Hope your technical difficulties are in the past, Becca!!!
Hello-this is so much fun – reading these hundreds of comments – and getting the word of the morning.
Another goal for this year is to use some old techniques with new twists.
Thanks for all your inspiration
Checking in another day and so sad that there is no new post. I look so forward to your blog posts daily! I will be back later……..
Another goal is to hopefully take some classes this year. Thanks Becca for the chance to win, and for all you share with us. You are so talented and such an inspiration. God Bless You.
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!
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.
You are so generous and I love ALL the inspiration you offer to us crafters!! Thanks for your kindness!!
Hello! How are you today?
Another goal–though it is artsy and is work, not sure if it qualifies for craftyness…
Is my goal of revamping my blog. I did change the Banner and am now working on pages.
Susan
Wow! I have been reading some of the other posts….haven’t gotten through all of them yet, but boy I realized there are lots of goals I have for this year! After reading some of the others, I keep thinking…oh yeah, I want to do that too! LOL!!!
Thanks for the reminders ladies!
In 2011 I would like to try the grand nestabilities.
My goal for 2011 is to make “A Year in Our Lives”. I want to take a picture of my hubby and myself each month. then journal our reflections. I have never been a journaler so this will be a BIG challenge for me.
Sharon L
Well here I am again trying for the double-play…hope I understand this…
Another crafting goal is to use more that one DP on a card. Don’t use it a lot and want to become more proficient at using it. Thanks again for the chance to win :)
I want to make more paper crafts to give as gifts. Then when Christmas rolls around once again I will have lots of gifts on hand. Have a great day everyone. Thanks for the chance Becca.
Craft goal #4: SIMPLIFY
Well IM here again..I see that u posted the last word..Shucks I only got 6.didnt quite understand how it worked at first..so i guess i missed them
My craft goals for 2011 are to craft on a regular basis, try new things and to try to organize a system so I can send my family and friends cards to celebrate biirthdays, anniversaries, etc. Thanks for the chance to win!
My goal is to get my crafting space more organized!!
I would also like to learn new techniques, and to be able to use different dp on a card. I just can’t seam to match up those different prints.
Thanks for the opportunity to win such awesome candy!! My crafting goal for this year is to NOT fall behind! I always end up scrambling at the last minute and I’m going to try to get ahead and stay ahead! Wish me luck!
Hi Becca
So excited, I now have all the words. Wonder if I can make a sentence out of them!! Maybe not.
I must not waste time on Sudoku and get on with Crafting ;0)
Hugs
Cally (from across the Pond)x
Thans for the chance for your great blog candy.
Kate
Have all my words. I’ve enjoyed visiting even with techno problems.
thanks for sharing
Hello Becca,
another crafting goal of mine is to try a new technique at least once a month so I don’t get into a habit of producing cards too similar to each other…I would also like to make extra gift packs thoughout the year so I am more organized for Christmas
Thanks for the shares
Susan
Now I have all 8 words. However, I can’t seem to make a sentence from them, but I have them. Now all I need is for my number to be drawn. –Fingers, toes and eyes crossed LOL — Thanks for the chance to win.
My ” learn to use my camera goal” is on target for a picture today. I better get at it!!
Didn’t catch on quick enough w/ time difference – I only have 7. Bummer!!
This has been a lot of fun….win or loose….I enjoy visiting your blog. I think another resolution is to enter more blog candy contests. lol {Hugs}
Another resolution is to get more crafting done in my spare time. I would love to see the Grand Caliber in person. I don’t know anyone who has one.
God bless,
Peggy Allen
My goal is to get my crafting area organized and do more cardmaking and scrapbooking. And introduce a child to crafting (cardmaking) or needlepoint.
Becca, thanks again for all you do for your readers. God bless.
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!
Becca,
Just checked out your tutorial on using a corner punch to make those neat medallions, As I work towards my goal of organizing my crafts and craft room I hope that I come across a corner punch so that I can try out that new technique, it looks so awesome! ~Gin~
Love all the inspiration you give to us fellow crafters!!!
Hey Becca,
Just dropping in again to wish you a Happy New Year and great progress on YOUR personal craft goals. I keep going back to cleaning out my craft room…sigh…I need to make this a priority.
Thanks for the chance.
E
Well, let’s C; I started something today that I should had done long ago.
My craft project 4 this time around was that I got a large calendar and listed everyones birthday, anniversary, etc on it by the month and right now in process of getting all birthday and, anniversary cards all made up so when it’s time for the occasion the card is already to send out.
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.
No more waiting till the last minute to get a card made up.
Colleen
I would like to finish all of the unfinished projects I have laying around!
After reading some of these comments, I want to find your corner punch tutorial. I also need to develope a goal of organizing my craft things. After I develope the goal, maybe I’ll think about doing it! Thanks for the chance at the blog candy and thanks for inspiration!
Hello again Becca. One of my goals for this year was to tidy up my crafting space after leaving it in a dreadful mess after the Christmas cardmaking extravaganza. I also wanted to reorganise it. Today I have sorted,shifted,dusted and generally reorganised the space. I am feeling very pleased ith myself. Can now start to make again. I had no enthusiasm with it in such a muddle. Anne x
this has been the first double play I’ve participated in and it has been WAY too much fun – best of all I’ve been inspired by all of your readers comments (I’d already been in awe of your work)
Now it’s time for me to get to “work” crafting
OMG! Almost 1,000 comments! With odds like that chances are I won’t win your blog candy (boo/hoo) — but, I sure have enjoyed visiting you every day and reading everyone’s crafting goals. 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).
Another goal I have for this year is to put more effort into my cards and make them amazing like yours!!! You are truly an inspiration!!!
Hi Becca,
Thanks for this opportunity to win goodies. I would love to make a mini album with those nesties!! Hope your day is going better and no more glitches on your blog. Have a blessed day and may God Bless!
My goal for 2011 is to get my supplies more organized, use up the supplies that I do have and try to be more efficient with the craftying time that I do have.
Becca Thanks for the chance to win. I would like to get together more often with my crafty friends. So my goal is to host more crops.
One of the things I would like to do this year is finish a project and replace the supplies where they belong instead of leaving them out and stacking up. Easier to find things.
Well darned, I couldn´t get acces to your site today until now, so missed out on the 7th words, but never mind, it has been fun, and now I´ll just go for my goals, then I have already won big, that´s for sure.
Thanks sooo much for the play hun and another goal could be to gain some of your strength, that would be huge. You´re such a special girl Becca, and thanks for all your wonderful inspiration always.
Hi Becca, I really enjoy all the beautiful cards you make. You are such and inspiration. My crafting goal this year is to actually put pictures in the album that I make. I love creating album but I’m really bad at actually putting the pictures and journaling in. So hopefully this year I’ll do better.
My crafting goals for 2011 are to get my tiny room cleaned out and semi-organized, and to try out every new stamp that I’ve purchased in the past year. (I’ll have to go through a lot of drawers to find them!)
Oops! Forgot to leave a comment yesterday. Guess getting organized better be on the top of my list of goals — and maybe getting more sleep too!
To be more creative – to go out and try something a bit beyond my norm. I still want to try the baby wipe ( I’ve got to find someone with a few so I don’t have to buy a whole package).
My first goal is to finish my dranddaughters second year scrapbook. Secondly I would like to get all my craft “stuff” organized. That’s going to be a major undertaking….
Wonderful tutorial for the ornament – I can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us!!
My goal this year is to make 10 Christmas cards every month so I have a great card stash by next Christmas.
Happy Crafting
thanks for the chance to win, my resolution is to start using more of what I have and buying less of what I don’t need
I love all your work, Becca. Thanks for sharing. And your kind and giving heart is something for all of us to strive for! Blessings to you today and always.
I would like to be able to get together with friends at least quarterly this year for a scrapbooking or card making session/class. I have wanted to be able to share my love for these crafts with others for quite a while but it has not worked out. I hope this may be the year that I can actually turn this dream into reality.
Day 4 and I’m still enjoying myself in spite of technical problems! I hope all your computer “bugs” are worked out soon. Yet another crafting goal is to get some of my heritage work caught up, maybe even a couple of scrapbook pages done! Thanks for the chance to win some good blog candy.
Everytime I go to a craft store and find myself in the ribbon section and my husband points out one to me, I say “RIBBON!”. He of course laughs. I have been hoarding ribbon for a while now and plan on using it more on my cards and other papercrafts to make room for more. You can never have too much ribbon! Thanks for inspiring us to use ribbon and other beautiful trims on our cards.
Hi, Becca. This is my fouth commentand I guess I would like to try to be more organized too! lol which is sometimes hard for me!
Hello again! Another crafting goal for me this year is to put use the many techniques I have learned over the years. Sometimes you get in a rut, so i want to get out of it! LOL!
Hi Becca – Your double play blog candy has been fun to play along. I’ve had to keep on my toes and make sure that I remember to come to your blog to find your “word” and then also to remember to write it down!!
Well it’s been fun! Finally feel better today…I’ve been sick with throat, cough and general lack of energy…but praise God I was able to get up and out today. Need to get this craft room cleaned up!!!!
My very last crafting goal for 2011:
I began a blog on PCP the end of last year, so I want to MAKE SURE I post at least ONCE A MONTH!!!! ( So far, so good!) I plan on MIXING IT UP A BIT!!!!! As I’m the kind of person who enjoys many different things! From Knitting, paper crafts, cooking….Just make it a place to find things you might not find elsewhere!!!! :)
My goal this year is to make at least one card a week.
Not sure when this ends… on Thursday or on Jan. 7th which would be Friday. Our internet service has been out for 48 hours so I missed a chance or two anyway… but thought I’d put in another craft goal if I may. I hope to get my supplies organized completely. 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. Hopefully in 2011 I’ll finish all those started projects.
OK! Let’s go over the 1000 comments mark and find another craft goal which I have no problem to find. My friend ask me if we could get together onces a week to stamp ! I like that one……
I’m confused since the technological glich but here is my comment for today. I hope it’s not my second one. I am trying to keep myself from buying too many punches and always check if there is a compable one isn spellbinders—I’ve not gone electronic at all. Yet.
I can feel them in my hands :)
Thanks Becca for letting us have fun! Hope you are well.
Hi Becca. Well, even though one of my goals is to not buy anything new until I use up at least some of my stash (LOL), I would really like to get some of the nesties….I only have one set so far, and I really like the way they look on a card, with a flat edge, and a scalloped edge behind it….so I may allow myself to splurge on some of those, otherwise…..nothing else!!!! Ha ha….thanks Becca, this has been a fun blog!!!!
One of my goals when it comes to my crafting is to spend less money and use items that I can recycle.
I’d like to challenge myself to create backgrounds with inks, paints, chalks and pens without resorting to layering patterned papers.
I’ve been looking for squeakers to put in dog toys. I just found out that the mail order sewing company I work for is carrying them in their catalog, so now I can work on my goal to sew squeaky toys for our pup! Yeah!
Love your blog candy, Becca. I missed one of the double play words, bummer, but still hope to win!!
Got the last word! Thanks so much for the chance to win–it would be awesome :)
Thanks for this opportunity. For once I think I have all the words. Now can I be lucky enough. I have to tell you this. I was working a little on organization tonight and really getting into it. 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.
I so enjoyed your post today and I think stamping right on the dp is so different! Don’t know why I didn’t think of it! Looks fabulous though, of course. Another stamping goal .. um .. I would like to stop by your blog more often .. :) And I think this is the first time I’ve got all the words too!
One of my goals this year is to try new techniques.
Must add another 2011 goal….let go of my hoarded ‘stuff’ so others can enjoy them in a creation! You did good Becca!!!!!! We all love your creatio!!!

Another craft goal for this year is to try some different techniques. I sometimes get in a “rut” and keep doing the same things over and over. Thanks for the blog candy!
Hi Becca,
I think one of my crafting goals for this year will be to challenge myself to think outside the box. I will try using unexpected mediums and recyled components, and I am excited to try making my own chipboard cutouts! I hope I can achieve this and more.
Love and hugs Becca,
Cathie
I tend to dabble in many crafts and narrowing it down may make me more productive. The tea dyed disaster is beautiful, what a lovely color. the roses are fabulous witht the paper.
Good luck everyone! Thanks for the fun, Becca.
Another goal I want to try to achieve is to go with the moment and not try to over think my decisions when crafting. Sometimes I take so long making my choices of paper, design, embellishments, etc, that I end up having to quit before I have actually made my card/scrapbook page.
Hello! How are you today?
I think I might work more with beads and clay this year also.
Susan
I just noticed that your blog entry says the contest will end thurs Jan 7, and thursday is the 6th and the winner be announced on Frid Jan 8, and friday is the 7th.
thanks for the fun, whatever the day-
we’re having so much fun we don’t know what day it is!
Yeah, I just noticed the date thing, too… :)
Anyway, I have one more goal for todays chance to win:
BACK UP ALL MY CRAFT FILES ON MY PC!!! I’m an IT techie but I am sooo bad with doing backups!!!
My crafting goals this year includes finally getting the last of my organizing done in my scrapping space so my brain can focus on crafting and not the to-do cleaning list, lol! Thanks so much for the chance at the amazing blog candy!! :D
Hi,
Love your blog and your beautiful cards!!
Just a suggestion for your word of the day…would it be possible to number
the word of the day? It would be so much easier to keep track of the words. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful work with us.
Judy
Love your blog!! Another goal for 2011, to finish my stuff laying around from 2010!
Wow I actually managed to follow the word play to the end got all 9 words (I mean 8).
Goal 1: Get spellbinders organized and labeled (Complete)
Goal 2: Start organizing ribbon (partially complete, still wrapping)
Goal 3: Meet Becca (hummm…gotta figure that one out still)
Love your work.
Hi Becca
Another thing I want to do this year in use all my stamps to make cards,as some of them haven’t seen ink yet.I wonder if Iam the only with problem.
Jocelan P
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.
BECCA BECCA JUST READING OVER ALL THE NEW ITEMS ON YOUR
BLOG I JUST LEARNED THAT I DON’T HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN, I CAN
JUST CLICK. MY NEW GOAL IS TO READ EVERYTHING THAT IS
CONNECTED TO THE PROJECT I AM WORKING ON. AN OLDER PERSON CAN STILL LEARN NEW THINGS.

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!
Let’s see another thing that I’d like to work on this year is to use up some stash! Some of those, oh it’s to pretty to cut papers.
R/
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.
Fun! I think I missed today’s earlier word :( Love the bloglift, looks good.
Beautiful card today!
I need to start using up all the paper I’ve been buying and hoarding, lol :)
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.
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…
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. Thanks
Well, I only got the 7 words, ah well. Best of luck to all
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!!
Woohoo All 8 words collected. Sure did surprise myself.
Now back to my craft room and clean up/sort out
I only got 7 words too. best to everyone else…
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 xx
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.
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.
