Today is the first day of the last quarter of the year, so I thought it was time for me to review the crafting resolutions I had set out for myself to complete at the beginning of the summer here in this June post.
I'm definitely blogging lots more, playing along with blog hops and blog card challenges for sure.
2015 Crafting Resolutions - I'm in catch up mode when it comes to learning the latest trends in techniques, product uses and layout stylistic designs. The following are trends that I'm dying to try!
- No Line Stamping using watercolors.
- Bokeh Technique.
- Use Gelatos. (Need to purchase from Michael's with a coupon.)
- String Circular accent.
- Ombre stamping.
- Paper Piece Stamping.
Slanted / Askew bottom / top border. Done, but would like to try different versions.- Speech bubble top border. (Need to purchase speech border die from Cat's Pajamas.)
- Create 5 different cards from SU From the Herd. (1 out of 5 done.)
- Create 5 different cards from SU Fifth Avenue. (1 out of 5 done.)
Stacked nesting dies.Done.Watercolor background. Done, but still need to keep practicing.Use sequins. Done.- Use same stamp for focal point with color and in subtle background.
Use sweet animals, in addition to recreating Far Cry (video game) themed elephant!Watercolor medium for coloring in flowers/roses. Done.Continue using up Swap Returns.Continue using up cardstock/patterned paper scraps.Create home made project kits to use up pre-owned embellishments/papers/stamps.Participate in at least one virtual stamping event at SCS. Done.
Looks like I've got half of them done and have another 10 to go.
I need to add one more resolution though, since I bought a new stamp set and need to resolve to make at least 5 cards with that.
21. Create 5 different cards with Tim Holtz Bird Crazy stamps and dies. (2 out of 5 done)
Can't believe Fall is upon us already.

WTG on knocking some off your list, Ching! I make craft resolutions each year, like use up my old stamps, try new techniques, etc but somehow manage to get to just a few - your list is getting some check marks! Proud of ya! ♥
I love this idea. I know for myself, I'm more apt to do something if I commit it to paper. I think I'm going to try to make a list like this myself and, if I post it on my blog at the start of the new year, I hope it will be okay to link back to your blog as the genius behind the idea.
