    It’s a tough one but I resolve to not buy any designer paper for 2012. I have at least a two year supply. Now stamps and dies are a completely different story. I wouldn’t be able to last without purchasing some.

Then whatever is left will go to Goodwill. I have tons of paper and stuff that really needs to go. Hopefully I can make some new crafters really happy!

    I’m almost 100% completed on my first crafting resolution, which was to make a full inventory of every stamp set, die, ink, tool, etc that is currently in my studio and work out what I will keep and what I will sell or giveaway before making any more purchases. It’s taken me a week of nights to get it done but I’m almost there. Almost ashamed to admit more than 50% of my stamps sets are yet to be inked.
    So resolution No2 is to use more of what I already have instead of buying the next “new” thing that comes along. And to get more crafty/inky this year. xx

    I actually have two resolutions. The first is to USE WHAT I HAVE when it comes to the expendable items – paper, ink, ribbon, markers. I’ve already learned to just get white ribbon and color it to match the paper with either ink or alcohol markers. DISCLAIMER: stamps and dies do not fall into this category! The second is to make at least one card a week. That might sound easy to some people, but my mojo has kind of left the building, so right now it seems like a lot of work.

    Reading everyone’s resolutions sound so familiar–organize, use stash or donate to others, scrapbook more (or at least some), have cards at the ready, maintain the blog so lovingly started, get published!! I need to do them all but that is a bit ambitious. I hope to focus on just a couple that I have a chance of sticking with–a better organized and more functional craft area; use more of what I have, give away what I’m not using and buy new purposefully; and create more to share more. Wish me luck!!

    I did a daring thing and took the plunge late last year and converted from using another company’s product to PTI. I sold off everything and started over. I make cards and invitations as a side business which meant having to revamp my website as well. My crafty resolution for the new year is this: To create at least 5 sample cards for each category I have listed on my website over the next two months and to have my shelves stocked with cards ready to go. Another of my resolutions is to expand my ribbon, button and die tools, and focus on purchasing Tag and Background sets. But the biggest resolution of all – TO STAY ORGANIZED THROUGHOUT ACCUMULATION! 🙂

First by purging my stash of unused items, no matter how much the little voice tells me that I “might use them some day”, and secondly by getting my most used sets and items together in portable totes so when the muse hits I can be ready to go with very little hunting and gathering time. I’ve already made progress on the second part of my resolution, and that feels good!

I also want to increase my stack of “ready to send” cards. I’ve been caught frantically trying to get a card ready too many times, so I need to get ahead of the game. Thanks for the chance to win great prizes!

    Beyond that by goal is to purge and try to sell some supplies to make room for the NEW (especially Papertrey products)

    My first craft resolution is to be better about jotting down all of the amazing ideas that come to me in the middle of the night and escape me by daybreak and to try some of them!!

    My second craft resolution is to push myself to think more out of the box and try new techniques. I have thousands of stamps and most have not seen the light of day in years! I am a very seasoned scrapper and stamper, but there are so many new techniques I have not tried!

    My third resolution is to re-organize my craft room so that it is more functional for my business! I have so many crafts going on in here and some stuff just needs to go after all of these years! I resolve to clean up my craft space more often and run my Etsy business in a more organized fashion!

    Thanks for reading my list of resolutions! 🙂

    My craft resolution for 2012 is to go through the huge amount of family pictures that was passed down when my Grandmother died. My goal is to sort them, date them, find out who all the people are in the pics and put together a historical album that I can share with my Aunts, Uncles, cousins and siblings.

    It is forcing me to USE, and to be more creative, as usually those extra pieces and shapes inspire the next project!

So I usually end up in the Kitchen or DR, neither one of those rooms are large enough to set up a permanent area. So I usually keep everything in marked boxes and then have to pull out my supplies when I need them. I’m starting to feel more like a collector instead of a crafter and it’s really bumming me out. I resolve to put an end to this one way or another. Maybe I’ll take over Hubby’s garage, don’t tell him, I think a surprise attache would work best.

    My resolution is to finally give away all the supplies I have been hoarding for so long! If I am not using it, I resolve to share it with others who can! I have often donated extra supplies to my daughters girl scout troop, and to both our children’s schools although there is always more to donate. I have packed several boxes of paper and ribbons this past week and plan to deliver them to a local community center soon. Crafting is a gift to share and I hope to share this gift with others throughout the year!

    I’m making a year long commitment to creating 12 DIY art projects – one for each month of 2012. I thought it would be a neat way to use my stamp collection, all the while creating some unique “seasonal” art.

    Ive also decided to create an Annual Card Set to donate at auction to our company’s annual United Way campaign. I want to design something very nice to help raise a lot of money, and by planning early, I am better able to take a little time every month to dedicate to my goal. ~Lisa Marie MacDonald

    Not so much a resolution for this year, as continuing something I started last year. Once a month – I meet with friends for a PTI party. We each design a card or project that uses some PTI stamp or die. We each bring the supplies for the others to make 2 of our card and end the evening with 8 or so cards (to take home.) It’s great fun to see what everyone comes up with and it typically inspires us to add other PTI sets to our wish list.

    2) I would like to get ahead on making cards for birthdays, thank yous, and such. I find that at the last minute I need a card and don’t have any made. I would like to work ahead so I have a stash to grab from. I do like making cards for specific people when I know their likes and style, so I want to look ahead to my birthday calendar and have those cards ready one month ahead.

I haven’t scrapbooked in about two years. Over Christmas we found my old albums and we had so much fun going through them. By the last album, we all had tears coming out of eyes from the laughter. Yes, its about those memories.

    My resolution is to work on my Christmas cards ealrier in the year so I’m not rushing at the last minute and to send more “just because” cards! I make so many cards but don’t send out more than half of them. I think a “just because” card can really brighten someone’s day, and I need to do that moe often!

    My good resolutions are :

    – reorganizing my craft space and giving away the products that I don’t use or like anymore (none of them are PTI’s !!!)
    -Teaching some techniques to my friends who are expats as me in India ( scrapbooking is almost non existent there)
    – Completing the albums of our 3 years here !

    It’s not necessarily a “crafty” resolution… I guess it could be, as it will help with my scrapbooking. I have vowed to take at least one picture per day. My husband bought me a beautiful Nikon for my birthday last year, and I have only used it to take pictures of my crafty creations, so I have resolved to take a picture of something every day… I will attempt to make these into a scrapbook. We’ll see how long this lasts. We’re only 2 weeks in.

    I didn’t really make a bona fide resolution for this, but I’d like to make my Scrapbook Nook more organized. Like, sifting through the ridiculous piles of paper so I have more space to actually CRAFT.

    I have many….Organize my crafting space, use each item I order from PTI at least once before I put them away and order more, make 10 cards each month and try to get some scrapbooking done. So far, I sadly haven’t worked on any of them – I think it’s Christmas burnout (at least that’s the excuse I’m using today!) I love PTI and am so thankful for all the inspiration you ladies share with us each month – you have made cardmaking sooooo much fun for me!

    I have made a crafting resolution this year and I have already begun (which is more than I can say for many past resolutions). I am gifting items that I don’t use. I have already cleaned out tons of classic ink colors and wood stamp sets that I have collected over the years. My daughters’ girl scout troop, kids’ art teacher, classroom teachers, and sunday school teachers are all enjoying my resolution. It has been exciting to find things that I want to use but are “buried under” the other stuff. And it has been fun to see others so excited by “new” toys.

    I have several craft resolutions for this year. I am having a new baby so my first and foremost goal is to finish up my youngest son’s first year album before the new baby is born! I also am planning to purge/organize my craft stuff before baby comes in May. I want to catch up on putting photos in photo albums. And my ongoing craft goal is to keep documenting those extra special moments and memories (on a monthly basis) so they can be treasured for years to come! I would also love to get up the courage to attempt “A Week in the Life” or “Project Life”. They seem so overwhelming to me but such a great way to document the everyday along with the extra special stuff. Thanks so much for the chance to win some new and fabulous PTI goodies…love the new releases! 🙂

    My craft resolution this year is to not limit myself to one particular craft. It is easy for me to get caught up in one type of crafting and I miss out on other forms that could be just as enjoyable for me. I love to be creative in many different areas but tend to put “blinders” on when I get involved with one particular craft,

    I resolve to join in the Holiday Central group and make a few Christmas cards each month. I had all of my supplies and stamps laid out for Holiday cards when we had a tragic death in our family in early November. Grief prevented me from creating one holiday card this year. So definitely want to get them made well in advance this year so I am prepared before the holidays.

    At the beginning of the month, I posted my resolution on my blog. That way, I feel more accountable to myself and my blogger friends! I decided that I would promise to make more cards for charity to the local cancer treatment hospital that is only minutes away. So far, I have made several for them and have already mailed out more than last month to my list of friends and relatives who I try to stay in touch with. New products would indeed help with these efforts! And this new realease is so perfect for the cards I’m making to donate!

    The last couple of years I have gotten away from creating things that I really want to do or try. I seem to fill my time with making things for school, church or events, (which is enjoyable and certainly worthwhile). I have an “inspiration file” with ideas I would like to use. I would also like to get back to organizing friends over for papercrafting and lunch.

It’s very rewarding to make card and then see someone post online using the same materials and then I get inspired to do itall over again with those materials. Everyone posts newer product and I just love it.
