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.
I would love to be able to publish my card in magazine! Hope this will come true! 🙂
I need to focus on my scrapbooking and not so much card making. Plus I need to use the “inventory” I have before buying a lot more. Except PTI of course! 😉
I have two – I want to sell cards to make money for charity (aiming for $1000 by the end March). The second resolution is to scrapbook more pages – sadly my 3rd daughter has only one page and she is nearly 10 months old!
My craft resolution is to surf less and craft more. I spend more time looking at blogs than I do actually crafting. Fabulous release as always!
oh yes… mine is to go through all of my supplies and purge some of the things that i will probably never use…i really need to develop a better organizational plan as well! pinterest is giving me lots of fab ideas! xxo
I am hoping to do more scrapbooking this year and to make use of my stamps and dies on my LO’s.
It’s 4:15am on the west coast and my craft resolution is to do something crafty every day. Lenae lenaedaly@gmail.com
I need to get back into scrapbooking and I also started a blog so I want to keep up on that.
No, I have learned over my many years NOT to make resolutions, craft or otherwise…….because usually by mid-February they are thrown to the wind. Guess this puts me in the “do not pick bin”. : (
I would like to reorganise my craft space and make at least one card a week. That is my craft resolution!
I would send cards to magazines until I get publish one of them in magazine! And that I will use all of the stash of paper and so, before buying more… of course dies and stamps are of that list!!
I want to get my crafting space better organized (and keep it that way). Secondly, my goal is at least one card a day.
Send out more cards!
My craft resolution is to get more organized. Out with the old in with the new and use Copic Markers more often. PTI designers are the best!! Look forward to 2012..
I need to get back to scrapbooking! My little one is 20 months & I am so far behind, I think I last scrapped his 10 month pictures. I need to get caught up!
Yes, my crafty resolution is to get my craft room organized and use the wonderful product I have. I would also love to do something crafty everyday.
God bless,
Peggy
I want to make more cards to have on hand when I need them. It seems as though I am always having to make a card the day I need it. I want to have more ready to go.
I would like to find the time to comment on all of the fabulous creations I see!
My craft resolution is to have my cards ready (card made, addressed with postage) a month in advance of when I need them. If I succeed, this may be the first year ever that I manage to pull off sending Christmas cards!
Use more of my stash. I seem to hoard pretty things like buttons, vintage bits and trims. And I hate using them. But what’s the point of having them and not using them?
Yes, my craft resolution is to stock my shelves with cards ready to send. I will be making one sentiment/theme each month.
I’d like to try some new techniques.
On the top of my craft list would have to be to get organised and stay organised. Easier said than done. I think thats been on the top of my to do list for years. Thanks for the chance.
Love me 🙂
My resolution was to go through the crafty stuff that hasn’t seen the light of day in a couple years. I then want to take anything that isn’t my style anymore and offer it up to new crafters. 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!
My resolution is to buy lots more PTI goodies and to enter contests/challenges.
I want to have my Christmas cards done before I leave on vacation in August.
I want to experiment with new techniques this year.
I also want to spend more time sitting by my craft table! 🙂
I’d like to get back to scrapbooking. Lately I’ve only made cards and I need to catch up on my son’s album.
I don’t really have resolutions, but if this is one, it’s one: Completing ProjectLife 2012. 52 weeks scrapped into one album, so I will have a great album after.
My goal this year is to set aside part of a day each week to actually make cards.
My craft resolution this year is to participate in every Make It Monday this year and to premake ALL birthday cards this year so I’m not in a hurry last minute:)
I have a few, but my biggest is to use what I have!
It’s a good life!
Terri E.
My resolution is to craft more and use more of what I’ve been buying.
Would like to make all the make-it mondays…from last year and the ones coming.
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
My craft resolution this year was to clean up, clean out and try more challenges. I’ve tackled the clean up part, still working on the out part…. but i have try to do several new challenges.
My crafty “goal” for this year is to use my store of supplies to make cards and gifts for others – to hopefully give them a “lift” by saying “I’m thinking of you”. Life is hard for many, and my goal has always been to share a “smile” – it makes life so much better! Love the new release…Thanks for the chance to win jjm
My resolution is to make sure I keep cards for myself to send. I sell them all and donate the money to Relay for Life. When I need a card I end up at Hallmark!
My craft resolution is to stamp more. As a new teacher last year, I did not have extra time to do what I really enjoyed doing. This year I am focusing on making cards and donating them to Operation Write Home, as well as some other local places.
My craft resolution is to use the designer paper I hoard and send out more cards.
My resolution is to purge some of my craft supplies so I will be organize for my move to my new house and craft room. And also make more cards for challenges!
To do more crafting with my kids.
It’s not so much a resolutions as just something I want to continue doing this year after starting it last year: send my Mom a card once a week. We live far away from eachother and it’s just another way for her to know I’m thinking of her.
My resolution is to make my cards and invitations well in advance instead of always rushing to meet a deadline. As a result, I know the end product will be much better and I will have a lot more fun in the process.
My resolution is try some new things, instead of gravitating to the same old, same old.
My goal is to blog more regularly and stay organized in the craft room!
My craft resolutions are to try more new techniques and use more of what I have. I still plan to place orders, but I’m more selective in my purchases to “fill in the gaps” of what I don’t have, especially stamp images.
I have so many craft resolutions this year. I want to be able to surf less and create more. I spend a lot of time looking at other’s people blogs. I want to finish at least one photo album of my daughter and finally create my own crafting blog.
My resolution is to come up with a card for every stamp set that I own. I make and give away over 250 cards each year so this should challenge me not to make the same old same old.
I would like to use my old stamps more often. I use them but not nearly enough. There are probably a few more resolutions too, but this one is at the top.
I actually have a few. I want to send b-day and anniversary cards to all my family members (usually start good and then don’t finish). I want to transfer my scrapbook pages into digital pages. And finally, I’m working on a Family History book, that I’d like done by the end of this year.
my resolution is to keep a scrapbook of my new born baby boy born just a month ago, and to use the PTI stamps and dies to make his 1st birthday card and invitations!! xoxo
I will be purging my old craft supplies, over 15 years worth and organizing what I keep. Of course, I am keeping all of my PTI supplies – I am just making room so I can add to my collection!
My resolution is to start my Christmas cards NOW. Then do a few each month to ease my holiday stress.
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.
…to get rid of stamps & tools that have been unused forever……and organize what I do use…so that I can find what I need for quick projects.
My crafty resolution is to keep my craft table a bit more clean. I seem to spend more time cleaning and organizing my table than actual creating. Little piles of stuff seem to accumulate overnight
My resolution is to become better organized in an effort to utilize the supplies I already have, and to cut down on the time it takes to find things! Also, I want to try and mass produce some cards, which will make better use of my card crafting time.
My craft resolution for 2012 was not to buy anything new, to try to create new and beautiful cards and altered items using the stash I have. Sorry to say that your January release will have me blowing that resolution……I want it all!!!
My first goal is to get my scrapbook room cleaned and organized! Then on to replenish my supply of cards for the year!
My craft resolution is to keep on going as last year, ’cause that was awesome! 😀 Continue making cards and having amazing fun with all the sooo talented and sweet crafting ladies! I also want to try new techniques and sort out my craft space to look for stuff I don’t use anymore and make someone else happy with that! This hobby rocks!! Makes me happy!!
Hugs, Wendy
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!!
To keep actually using what I have! Going well so far…
This year, I’d like to have basic stamping essentials like precut cardstock, patterned paper, adhesives and inks in a box kit so that crafting when I have an hour is more crafting and not hunting down basics, or getting bogged down deciding what I want to use!!! Lol
I have plans for a “birthday scrapbook” for my son. One page for each birthday. He turns 4 this year and I haven’t started…..My goal is to complete this project and be ready before his 5th birthday next year!
I have a few craft projects started that I would like to finish and I would like to focus more on scrapbooking!
My resolution is to use the stamp sets that I haven’t used yet or don’t go to as often. To make more cards to give as gifts, to make others happy.
My craft resolution is to get more scrapbooking LO’s done, and to try to incorporate more of the challenges I want to take part in into my LO’s so I don’t get so far behind. I also want to learn more stamping techniques and become more consistent with it. Thank you so very much!
Lisa
My resolution this year is to learn more techniques. So far I have been “winging” it, but get very frustrated. So I’m taking classes and buying better tools!
I have 3 goals to work towards – to purge and give away, to use what I have and like (PTI of course), and to experiment and try new things.
My craft goal is to be more organized, stop cutting into paper when I have a scrap piece …… now that I have organized all my paper on Jan 1 ……… and to be oaky with giving myself time to be in my craft space and not feel like I have to be doing something else for the family.
Love the new release … making my shopping list 🙂 My craft resolution is to do more crafts! I’d like to work on my classes and perhaps start my funshops again.
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! 🙂
My craft resolution is to scrapbook more! Since there are two movings in two years (one is international), my craft room is not organized as i want, which is my excuse not to do much scrapbooking. Finally, we will be moving into the house where we intend to stay for many years to come, i definitely want to organize my space and to start scrapbooking more!
That’s easy, I have to use my stamps more.
I need to stamp more just for the love of it..not get so caught up in projects and deadlines. I really enjoy stamping with no specific goal or card in mind…that’s when I get carried away and create something really special.
Hey Dee- Richard in Boston. Just read your post and wondered if maybe we could do a swap of some of our surplus?
To play every day, enter all the challenges that time and interest permit and to post at least 4 days each week!
Not so much a resolution but I have started a Project Life album this year and hope to be able to keep up with that for the entire year.
My resolution is to organize my craftroon and get rid of things I haven’t used in years. Also to catch up on my scrapbooks.
I want to use my cardmaking to bless others. To send out more cards in the mail. To give others packages of my handcrafted cards as gifts.
My resolution is to use all the awesome tools and stamps that I haven’t gotten around to yet. I also want to take pictures of my favorite “creations” so I don’t have to think so much about a design next time I need to make a card in a hurry.
I have resolved to SIMPLIFY. 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 resolve to use my tools more fully. I have been organizing for two weeks now, and just added my printer to my wireless network to reduce one more cord from the office & crafty space.
My resolution is to catalog all my stamps into a notebook, by set and theme, both images and sentiments. I hope it will make finding exactly what I want to use that much easier!
I resolve to use more of my stamps. Some of them have never even seen a drop of ink! That doesn’t mean I won’t buy more, but I’m going to try to be more selective in my purchases!! 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!
My I have a few Craft resolutions for this year, one is to use up some of my stash, another is to find new ways of using the left overs so I don’t waste as much and the last is to become more confident about my work 🙂
A late happy new year to you all and thanks for this wonderful release!
Lucy
My resolution is to reorganize my supplies, making sure to plan for future storage as my stash of PTI goodies grows. So far so good, I’m on track with my plans…
My goal was to clean up and organize my craft room…which I have done already. Great feeling of accomplishment.
Beyond that by goal is to purge and try to sell some supplies to make room for the NEW (especially Papertrey products)
I’d like to spend less time on the computer and more time actually crafting.
My crafty resolution is to get my craft room completed in the basement. We are working on finishing the basement and a craft room is #1 on the list!
My resolution is to have a card stash that uses items I already have( especially paper)ready to go for an upcoming occasion. I would like to make a card every week,( so far so good!). And I definitely want to start my Christmas cards in October and have them finished,signed and addressed by Dec.1 2012.
I have a few ~ one would be to start a blog (already in the works), two ~ sell and/or give away things I am no longer using, third ~ get organized (this will be the toughest), and last make a scrapbook for my parents of my son.
I have quite a few, but I’ll only share two right now. The first one is to organize and finish setting up my craft room. The second one is to complete some of the projects I started and didn’t have time to finish!
I would really like to get better at stamping. I am primarily a sentiment stamper as I have been too chicken to venture out into the world of stamped images and coloring. 😉
My resolution is to organize all of my crafting supplies and to donate those that I never use.
To keep my craft room tidy!!!
My resolution is to Do more and Look less. I love looking at the projects everyone creates; I need to put that inspiration into action!
I actually have 2: to become better organized so I can better utilize what I have and to send more random cards to brighten the days of the people in my life.
Organize, organize, organize! That’s my biggest NY Resolution. I’m a relatively new stamper and need to come up with better storage solutions for all the stuff I’ve acquired in the past year.
My resolution is to go through all my crafting items and purge and get rid of what I don’t use anymore and I am sure I will find some old stamp sets that I want to start using again!
My resolution is to try new things: not be afraid to mix patterns, use my sewing machine more, try copics, etc.
Another fabulous release – can’t wait to order some of my new faves 🙂
My craft resolution this year is to overcome my hesitancy in creating and posting to my new blog. It’s like the first step seems to be the hardest, I can’t seem to get over the feeling that I don’t know what I’m doing, even though I’m very proficient on a computer. So … to get my blog finally up & running so I can share my love of stamping with the blog world.
My craft resolution is to clean out some of my old craft supplies because I just have too much stuff! I also want to make sure I find the time to create more cards this year. I moved a few months ago and haven’t had alot of time for cards. Then some how some way I’d love to start scrapbooking too! Maybe that’s a little too much, but I can try!
My resolution for 2012 is to take one of my spare bedrooms (which right now is like a storage room), clear it out and make it into MY craft room! Yeah!
I am going through all of my seldom used supplies and donating them to local nursing homes. My other resolution is to get (and STAY!!!) more organized this year!
I haven’t made a formal crafting resolution, but every year I try to be just a little more organized. I also want to “mentor” a few friends who I introduced to card making recently, They have a HUGE desire to learn and I want to make time available to teach them basic stuff as they have never done this before. Plus supporting Operation Write Home as much as I can.
My resolution is to submit some of my creations to a Publication call. I also want to be sure to use some of my older stamp sets that have been neglected–combine them with new sets!
I am purging my craft room to make room for the crafty stuff I do use… like PTI stuff!
After so many years of crafting, there are a ton of things that are obsolete and taking up valuable craft space. The only items I will keep are my PTI goodies!
My resolution is the same as most, to be organized & not hoard the good stuff. Saving supplies I’ve had since I began papercrafting(3 yrs) is just weird.
My crafting resolution for the new year is to use more colored paper. I always reach for white or cream first and I have so much neglected color card stock.
My resolution is to keep my space tidy, gather the cards I’ve made into some order and to find room to store the lovely dies and stamps from the new release!!
This year I will update my inventory.
New sheets with samples of my inks are just finished.
Next is an inventory of the dies.
My crafty resolution is to stop hoarding. I must use it or lose it. I have too many pieces of beautiful paper that I am “saving” for the perfect project and too many stamps that I refuse to sell even though they never see ink. I am just going to use those supplies and hope I love the results.
I need to get better about stamping the INSIDE of my cards. So many of my Christmas and birthday cards were blank inside, so I had a hard time finding a card that I could just grab, sign, address, and mail.
My biggest resolution is just to make the time to craft more. I always put craft time off until everything else is “done”. But with two little kids, nothing will ever be done.
This past fall I rearranged my craft space—my goal is to actually use it more—I am scrapbooking my family life and I want to use my stamps and ink in my layouts.
This year the goal is to blog surf less and create more. I am really behind with scrapbooking and card making and I would like to try being published at least once this year…..
I am using a handmade gratitude journal everyday, along with making cards for everyone this year….no exception!! Trying to get a jump start and stay motivated by sharing in your designer’s ideas. A great place to indulge in!!
JUST DO IT! 1) Take time and do something crafty….anything crafty. 2)Purge and donate crafty stuff to the school 3)Send out more handmade cards…for any reason….especially to make someone smile.
My resolution is to keep ahead of the holidays. I plan to get a stash of cards done before I need them.
To organise all my craft supplies so that I actually know what I have! I spend too much time looking for something when I could be making instead.
I certainly do! Make something every single week and use up all the wonderful supplies I have stockpiled. And try to use a different stamp set every week too! Hopefully will discover some old favorites I’ve forgotten about.
I have a couple of goals for this year…I want to play in more challenges, seems as if at the end of 2011 I was only working on my DT commitments and not playing near enough, hope to change this in 2012 and I would also love to find some time to create some things to submit for publication. Love this months release!!! Just my style of stamps, love the vintage look to so many of these.
I resolve to make time to create something every day and really PRACTICE my craft!
My answer is has multiple parts!!
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! 🙂
~Tori
My resolution is to make more layouts, and not just cards. (and I see I am not the only one lol). I want to use my stamps on my layouts more too.
My resolution should include -stop hoarding all my pretty paper and also use some of the stamp sets that have never seen a spot of ink.
Beautiful projects! My crafty resolution is to try to keep my craft space organized and tidy, currently, I can’t even see the floor! I better get on this resolution.
I really want to get published for the first time (and maybe second 😉
my “craft-olution” is to start a blog this month and post actively. i look forward to participating in PTI blog hops, more challenges, and giveawys of my stash.
My crafting resolution is to try to enjoy what I do more. I often get so caught up in trying to get card done and out on time that I don’t enjoy the process. So my crafting key word for 2012 is savor.
My craft resolution for this year will be to reorganize my craft space. I have many ideas and a new room where I can hopefully realize them.
My resolution/goal for my art is to make sure that whatever I create I share. There are so many times that I don’t take the opportunity to share. I’m not sure why I do that….but will stop this year. =)
My craft resolution for the year is to buy less, use more. Oh, and actually send the cards I make. Thanks for the chance to win!
My resolution is to not wait until the last minute to make cards for special occasions. I send cards for the same birthdays, anniversaries, etc. each year, but I always wait until the last minute to create these special cards. This year I am planning ahead.
I have a couple of resolutions that I am working on so far. First, I FINALLY organized my ribbon into color groups, no more tangled mess! Second, I am selling or donating stamps that need a new home and third, I am resolving to make Christmas cards every month instead of panicking in December!
This year I resolve to do more types of crafting. I want to do more home decor projects, from holiday banners to refinishing furniture. I have lots of “to do” projects in mind!
My craft resolution for the new year is to clean out my craft room, sell all of the stuff I have cleaned out and don’t want, keep it clean all the time, and most importantly make sure to use all of the stamps and other supplies that I currently have in my craft room.
My goal for this year is to submit some cards to magazines and try to be published.
My crafting resolution was to post more on my blog and to buy only the things that I will certainly use. I’d also like to send more cards to family and friends.
My craft resolution is make more time to use all of the wonderful supplies that I have!
To finish my half done projects.
I haven’t made New Year’s resolutions for years but I would like to participate in more challenges, stretching my use of color in particular.
My resolution for 2012 is to try and be better prepared ahead of time for things like birthdays and Christmas. I want to make cards in advance and avoid the last minute stress as much as possible.
I’m resolving to build my card stash so I am not frantically making cards at the last minute all the time. I hope that working in a more relaxed environment will boost my creativity to the next level!
My craft resolution this year is to complete my Master’s Capstone so that I actually have time to craft guilt-free! This should really help my mojo! Thanks for the chance to win such an awesome prize!
My resolution is to scrap my son’s wedding – he’s been married almost 2 years — time to get it done !!!
I want to make more scrapbook pages this year. I did over 80 last year + mini’s and I’d like to do 100 12×12’s this year. Beautiful cards!
I want to keep my craft area clean and organized as I do a project and not wait until I am done with it to clean up! Having a card published would be awesome too!
My resolution is to learn something new…So I’ve been learning how to knit 🙂
Yes! During the week, when I come home from work, I have resolved to exercise BEFORE any craft related activities. This includes blogging, surfing the net for inspiration, and sitting down to create! So far, so good! It is important to me to live a healthy life style so that I may enjoy this passion and others for many, many years to come!!
My craft resolution is to get organized and use what I have. I love all of the new products but it seems that I just buy things and then I don’t use them. I would like to donate the crafting items that I haven’t used in years and organize the stuff that I have!
My New Year’s craft resolution is to be published!
I have a few resolutions, but I think the at the top of my list is to make a scrapbook of and for my daughter – all about her and as a tribute to her. It’s long past due! This is a beautiful release and I cannot wait to get my hands on it!
Can’t wait for this release. Looks like some really good stuff. Have really enjoyed the cards and all the inspiration. Thanks!!!
Organize Organize & Organize some more! And to add one more it would be to use more of what I actually buy. Sounds easy enough, right?
use more of what I have, be better at tracking birthdays, Angel-versaries,Comfort cards, etc. Be more aware of products I’ll use vs stuff I “want”. Try more “out of the box” techniques yet stay in my comfort zone….whatever that means!!! 😉
We have recently moved. So my resolution is to get my stamp space set up and organized then to identify and donate all things I can’t/won’t use to charity.
My resolution is to clean up my craft space and organize it better which would allow me easy access to all my collected “stuff” over the years. Also, to think outside of the box creatively.
My resolution is to USE my supplies. Really USE them. Take classes and watch videos and get really crafty and creative. Can’t wait!!
My resolution is to use the paper and embellishments I have collected over the past ten years of crafting, reduce the size of my stash.
I don’t really do resolutions, but I do make goals or guidelines (to me they are softer, friendlier resolutions lol). First is to finish and post my ginormous light box made of foam core. Next is to make my crafting space more conducive to crafting. It’s a whopper of an omelet, but I think it’ll be worth it. Last year I started a project log (for projects and ideas and what they were for), so I’ll keep on with that.
My resolution…spend more time creating and less time looking at what others create. I love looking at other people’s creativity but I spend so much time doing that, it leaves little time for me to create on my own!
My craft resolution is to get caught up on my kids’ scrapbooks and to have more cards in my stash so I’m not scrambling to make on at the last minute!
My resolution for crafting is always the same. Purge the unloved stuff over to some other deserving home. I need space to see and focus. I have too much jammed in a small space. And thanks to Pinterest I now have a wall mounted punch rack ~ it is awesome but even more messy now. Gotta love a good challenge!
I have a few crafty resolutions. Mail out more cards. Send a card of encouragement to someone “just because”. Expand creatively. Find more ways to combine my love of needle art with my love of paper crafting. Go totally unmounted. Do more with less. Keep it simple and keep it fun!
My craft resolution is to finally finish moving and organizing all my craft supplies into my new crafting space in our basement.
Make my Christmas cards early. I also want to have a “tea” at my home with friends which will include a stamping time.
I hope to sale some cards and to participate to some challenges.
My craft resolution is to use my supplies and buy less. I dont want to turn into a craft hoarder!
My craft resolution is to use every image stamp I own. I made this resolution in 2009, and it took two-and-a-half years to make it through, but I feel the need to do it again. It’s helpful for deciding what stamps to get rid of (hard to work with, not suited to my CAS style, etc.) and where I need to expand my collection!
I have four craft resolutions for 2012. Focus on using up my stash of supplies, concentrate on scrapbooking, make cards at least one month in advance of when they are needed and work in my studio everyday even if it’s only for an hour. So far so good!
Mine is to do more scrapbook pages this year and to actually mail more cards. I tend to make cards as I need them but would love to build up my stash enough that I can mail some out “just because”.
Well, not really a resolution, but more of a challenge. “BUM” = Buy less, Use what I have, Make more. I was doing really well until I saw your release this month…. lol
My craft resolution is to send more cards in for possible publication! My first ever publication just happened this January in CARDS Magazine and I am having two more published in the June issue! Thanks to PTI, whose products never go out of style, I am having the time of my life! This has been a GREAT New Year’s resolution!
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.
I have to make 2 cards with each stamp set I have and do a scrapbook page each week.
My resolution is to weed out the supplies I know I will never use and donate them. My studio is getting out of control! Love your products!
My 2012 resolution is to craft at least 1 hour a day, stamp more not just on cards but also in my scrapbooks. Try to use papers which is in pockets for a long time. Enjoy crafting every day a little more.
My resolution this year is to make 8 different Christmas cards a month so they will all be done and ready to mail in December. Christmas stamps are my weakness and I have so many that have never seen ink.
My resolution is to use all of the unused stamps that I have and give any I don’t like away to a new home. Wish me luck!
My craft resolution is to try and think outside the box when I am working on projects, to try new and different techniques that force me out of my comfort zone. At least that’s what I hope to do!
I’d like to submit a few things for publication and step out of the box a little more often and try some new things.
Organize and purge my supplies and use more stamps and dies on my layouts 🙂
Needless to say, I won’t stop adding to my crafting collection, especially when PTI keeps adding such awesome products to their line up. With that being said, I do hope to give “more love” to the items that are already in my craft room and I have already started doing that. Hopefully I will continue through the year.
My craft resolution is to continue to enjoy this amazing hobby! It is medicine for my soul.
Having a beautiful toddler is the best thing in the world! I’m so blessed! However, he makes it quite difficult to do anything crafty. My resolution is to accept the help my loving husband so often offers and let him take care of our sweet son while I stamp. It’s a really good outlet for me!
I want to be better about giving my immediate family (husband and children)handcrafted goodness. Most of the time they are the ones that get left out because of my procrastination. Actually that is a good resolution too…don’t procrastinate on papercrafted projects!
I want to make more cards and collect less products!! I get caught up in purchasing products and then they sit in my room and never get used.
My resolution would be to craft more. It seems I spend alot of time in my craft room without actually accomplishing anything. I am also doing a month by month scrapbook, so I definitely want to stay on top of that!
Mine is to keep my blog (which is mainly craft stuff) updated regularly.
Thanks for the chance to win!! 🙂
I do have crafting resolutions! I want to use my stamps on more layouts, finish my son’s scrapbook from pre-K and hopefully get published again! I’d also like to use more patterned paper in all of my projects – and that starts by getting and using Simply Jane paper!
Thanks for a wonderful, wonderful week full of inspiration. You and the DT really were amazing!
My resolution is to get more organized so that I have more time to craft rather that spending my time hunting what I want.
My resolution is to do something crafty everyday…even if it’s just for a few minutes. I’m so far behind on my scrapbooking! I’d also like to get ahead on my card making so I’ll have cards to send when they are needed. There’s just something about being crafty…it does the soul good!
My craft resolution this year is to have more cards for guys on hand before I actually need them. I always need some & have to scramble to make them.
My craft resolution is to craft more. I need to find time for myself and it is such a great stress reliever.
yes I have. I want to make more layouts than cards this year. I also want to make a project Life album where I can use all of my beautiful papertrey Ink stamps ;O)
My resolution is to use up what I have and get my scrapbooks current.
My resolution is to make more crafty things: cards, sewing projects, etc! Beautiful release!
My resolution is to send out more cards to the people I love…
My craft resolution is to make more masculine cards….they intimidate me so…and to use my “special pretty paper” more
My craft resolution is to keep my craft area organized and clean up after every project. Plus I challenge myself use at least every stamp set I own at least once this year (I only have 50 so maybe a card a week using each set).
My resolution is to quit hoarding paper. I don’t need to save every little piece, “just in case”. In the past few days, if i cut a die cut out of a sheet of card stock, I have been USING up the rest. Even if it is just to cut some mat stacks or shapes and add the to my little drawer.
It is forcing me to USE, and to be more creative, as usually those extra pieces and shapes inspire the next project!
One of my resolutions is to make holiday cards year round. This will allow me to enjoy all of my holiday stamp sets and dies not just during the couple months before the holidays.
Crafting without deadlines! Craft what I want when I feel like it with no pressure to do anything but enjoy it. I also want to make more personalized items and party decorations/treats.
I need to purge, big-time, and keep only my PTI sets and supplies. Then I can get my house and craft supplies in order and not waste time looking for something I can never find (“oh – but I just know it’s here – somewhere!”). My crafting time has dropped off dramatically simply because of the feeling of being overwhelmed. I adore PTI style so the rest needs to GO!
My craft resolution is to find time to craft again! I’ve barely been able to touch my stamps and ink since last April when my boys were born. So I’m hoping to be able to find time to create at least once a month.
I have two. One is to use some of the paper I already have instead of buying more. The second is to spend only a certain amount of money each month on craft supplies…that’s not going so well
My craft resolution for the year is to get back into blogging more. I went on a little unexpected break at the end of the year so I would like to become more regular in my posts so that means trying to create more projects.
My craft resolution for 2012 is to start using all the products I buy and stop hoarding them
My crafting resolution is to get everything reorganized (a never ending task) so that I can get more scrapbooking done (way behind on all the albums, and organize my card/projects to do list – I also have 2 weddings to get invitations designed and made for 2013!!!
Just love the Simply Jane set – thinking that may be incorporated into an invitation idea for my neice!!
I do have a crafty resolution: to get my design team assignments done ahead of time, instead of saving them to the last minute like I usually do!
I resolve to keep learning, attempting challenges, making submissions, and nudging myself into new design/ color/ technique territory.
I am trying to enter more challenges and publication calls. Who knows what may come of it?
I plan to get all of my stamping stuff better organized so that I can know all that I have and use it in 2012!
My resolution is to find more time to stamp! Just squeeze it somehow! I think it would be okay if the laundry went undone for one day. I just need to convince myself of that, right?
Great release! It’s been a fun week leading up to release day!
I would love to get organized and use more of my stash. I want to get back into scrapbooking and get my favorite memories with my family down on paper! Also would love to send out more cards! Ok, well I guess I have a few resolutions, LOL!! Love your products and the new releases! Just ordered for the first time this month and I’m in big trouble I feel with adding more to my stash!!
Thanks so much for the chance at an awesome giveaway!!
Make and use more lunchbox notes for my kids.
My craft goals and resolutions are: To downsize my craft room enough through decluttering and using my stash that baby girl can have her own room by this summer. To be a little more artsy – all I mean by that is to play with color, composition, different media, and explore more of my own ideas. To learn more embroidery stitches and to learn to knit or crochet. To actually mail the cards I make. To scrapbook and journal. And, last, to only buy things I truly love or need.
I would like to submit for publications this year…something I’ve found very daunting in the past! And to spend more time being creative and enjoying this fun hobby!
2012 is off to an AMAZING start! What a wonderful release! My crafting resolution was to stamp and SEND cards every week. Sometimes I get so busy at work that creating is the last thing on the list. THIS YEAR I will get at least one new card in the mail every week. LOTS of friends and family all across the states…email is wonderful, but sometimes you just want to say, “I thought about you and took the time to create something with you in mind.” Gotta love this craft!
I resolve to buy the ENTIRE Papertrey line this year! Bwahahahahaha – not because I don’t really want to, it’s just that the funding is not quite there. Seriously, I resolve to craft more. I have really missed it as an outlet. My crafting space is in the process of being reorganized and pared down (thank you broken water inlet pipe) and I’ve started to “do” instead of “wishing I could do” again. Besides getting greeting cards done ahead, I’m working on our Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet. Can you say Enchanted Evening, Harvest Gold, and Summer Sunrise?
My craft resolution is to move outside my box and try new things. I have fallen into a rut and need to get out! This would be a great way to start!
Craft more.
My crafty resolution is to share my knowledge and supplies with friends, so they too can have an enjoyable hobby.
I don’t know if I will call this a resolution because I would probably be setting myself up for failure. LOL I would like to be able to keep my scraproom more organized in order to spend more time on projects rather than looking for something. I also want to complete many more cards this year!!
For sure I want to craft more…seems like everyone else’s activities outshadow my “free time”. Crafting for me is very therapeutic, so, like regular exercise, I feel that it is another way for me to stay healthy. I would love to start a blog, but I am not techno-savvy… maybe someday 🙂
My resolution is to volunteer somewhere and offer card making/crafting classes for kids and adults. This hobby is such a fun and creative outlet for me and I would love to be able to share what I have learned with others.
I didn’t have one but I’m making one now because It’s a great idea! I resolve to do some type of crafting every day and use more of a variety of all of the great products I have. I’m going to do this by following Mish’s lead of gathering up a group of products to use when creating, I love how she creates her little baskets of fun stuff to incorporate!
Start making more cards and send them “just because”.
My biggest resolution–stop buying & start creating. I would like to use each set of stamps I have at least once!
My craft resolution was to never “save” favorite papers and embellishments for a “better” time which I do way too often. Use them and then get something new instead is my new motto.
Wonderful release!
My goal is to participate more in challenges, create a blog, and post YouTube videos of my creations. Thanks for the chance to win.
I’ve been making cards for the Meals on Wheels program for the past couple years and each year I vow to make more. This year I hope to exceed 100.
I definitely have a craft resolution–I need to use up old supplies, use stamps that have never touched ink and in the process make more cards for our church card ministry.
I would like to get more organized. I would like to make a little time every day to work on some craft project.
My resolution for this year is to get back to work on creating. I have taken quite a break in any actual work. Of course I have never missed a PTI post, and have lots of inspiration at my fingertips! I need to get back into the Make it Monday challenges, and I need to work on my boys scrapbooks!
I have several !
I NEED to finish the quilts I started before the last bout of ME kicked in – yup, that includes the wedding quilt for my friends who are 2 children and 7 years in !!
I also want to Project Life – late, I know…
I am also going to send more cards, for any reason. I need to use more of my craft stuff and buy less this year – although I expect some PTI goodies might slip that net !!
Great release – thanks for the opportunity !
I hope to get a better start on my holiday cards this year and better organised for my craft space….
I have a couple of craft resolutions. First, I want to make an index of all my sentiment stamps. Second, I want to sort through all my craft/cardmaking supplies and get rid of anything I don’t need or want anymore. Third, I want to get more organized when I move my cardmaking supplies from the dining room to my new craft table in the basement that my husband is making me!
I made several “promises” – first to try a new craft, want to learn how to solder jewelry (of course, I have all the supplies) and try to buy less, use what I have and to use things that I “had to have” and have yet to use.
Too many wishes and too many responsibilities to make a resolution. Dreams of publishing, having my own blog, selling cards, having cards ready for friends and family at a moments notice, being able to walk in my craft room…….. Ha Ha! :)))
My resolution is to craft more & surf less. I tend to look for ideas & not craft enough. I would also like to craft a little most days rather than feeling like I have to have enough time in a sitting to complete a project. Thank you for the wonderful project ideas!!
I do have a craft new years resolution! I have a full drawer of leftover embelishments that (stamped pieces, die cuts, stickers etc.) along with a full filling system of scrap papers. To help me use it more i have started make a card with nothing but the leftover embelishments and scrap papers and posting the card on my blog each Sunday!
My craft resolution is to simply open some of my PTI stamps and use them-Basically, Make the time to create.
My craft resolution is to start a blog and participate in some challenges like Make-a-card Monday or the PTI blog hop. Also to actually send out more of the cards I make.
My craft resolution will to be spend less money as we are wanting to buy a new house this year. PTI makes that really hard, though.
My craft resolution is to make more scrapbook pages. I lost 11 years of pictures last summer when our external hard drive crashed. Now I’m making new memories and want to scrap them. Also make more cards, not for challenges but just for fun! I’m purging my craft room and will start using what I have instead of buying more.
Eveline.
My craft resolution is to use more of what I have and share my cards with others. I want to make more cards throughout the year and give them away as gifts or send them to people! Then I can continue to buy more! My friends and family love to get my cards, so I just need to commit time to create. I love to do it and deserve a few hours of fun each week! Papertrey ink provides such great inspiration, I know I’ll keep my resolution!
My resolution is to give more cards to my friends and family. I love getting fun mail, and I want to give some fun mail to others.
Create more! Which will hopefully mean I use more…so I can justify buying more:)
My craft resolution is to purge and organize. I have a lot of “stuff” that has been accumulating over the years. I plan to purge everything that I don’t absolutely love, and organize it to sell at a local crafting yardsale that is run by our LSS. Life’s too short to spend all of your time looking for stuff, LOL!
no mistake is too big to work with.
My resolutions is to work on Christmas gifts all year round so that at the holidays I can enjoy the hustle and bustle more.
I am (in dog years) old enough not to do resolutions, but I want to use my blog more, do lots of mini-books and try more “new things” (that is a joke) I love trying everything that comes down the road!!!! Thanks for enabling and I can’t wait to get my hands on that flourish die……..and…..you have outdone it with all your previews this am….bravo to the designers!!!!
Sift through supplies and sort out those that haven’t been used in over two years. What’s one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, so I’ll give to a charity or to a school.
My resolution is to get my craft area/room set up and get crafting! I tried setting up an area in our basement, that didn’t work out for several reasons…I’ll spare you the details! 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.
First craft resolution is to get my space more organized… cuz then I’ll be more inspired to craft. Second, to paricipate in more “challenges”. And lastly, to keep up with blogging my craft journey with more posts.
To stop buying so much new stuff, and use what I already have (much of which hasn’t ever seen ink). I was doing OK with this month’s release until I saw all the Jane Austen stuff yesterday. Now – as usual – I am in big trouble!
I have several craft related resolutions. First I would like to get my stamp stash organized and inventoried. Second, I would like to actually spend time creating things. When I actually do make things, my third resolution is to post on my blog more often.
I’ve already accomplished crafty goal 1 for the year . . . that was to clean and organize my craft room/office space. This will support goal 2, which is to craft more and hoard less 🙂 Another good start there, as I’ve spent much of this weekend creating. Yeah!!
Stop dreaming and just do it! I’d like to have cards made on hand before an event or celebration arrives. Too many times I’m putting the last bit of embellishment on a card before I go out the door!
This answer might not win any prizes (lol), but my craft resolution is to use what I have. And I have a lot!
to send out more of the cards that i make.
My crafty resolution is to do more of it! I want/need to look through all my supplies to “re-discover” some old friends and make some new ones. 🙂
Make more beautiful things with the wonderful supplies I have!
My resolutions are to try new styles and use more of my stash rather than just admiring it!
I want to really use my supplies, not just collect them. I am trying to make at least one card a week. Of course getting organized would make both easier!
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!
My resolution is to craft more and ponder less *lol* I have so many ideas that never make it into a project because I didn’t start. I also want to be more tidy in my craft room so I have the space to craft properly. Loving all the new release goodies and can’t wait to get my hands on them!!!
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
I want to send a handmade card for every birthday in my family this year…sisters, brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews, etc… (Sending them on time would be nice!) And, I want to buy and try a few Copics to see if it’s something I want to get into.
To will “learn” the skills of the craft. Focusing on techniques.
My resolution is to get better organized. I need a system to remember birthdays and other events and to work ahead so I’m not scrambling at the last minute. I would also like to get a digital camera so I can share some of my creations.
My craft resolution is to use all my materials collected over the years and make more greeting cards.
I need to start using more of what I already have! It’s hard every time a new release comes out – I want it all!! I have ended up being a stamp “collector” this past year!! Not sure I can resist the new stamps – I love what I saw on the sneak peeks!!
I have 2 resolutions: Buy less, use more. (Yes, I see the hypocrisy of this as I prepare for a PTI new release tonight, but PTI doesn’t count, right? :)) My other resolution is to devote more time to scrapbooking. So many neglected photos!!
Right at the top of my list is to do more creating. I spend more time collecting, organizing and reorganizing, now it’s time for me to put all these wonderful products I have to work. Don’t get me wrong, I will continue to collect and organize but now it’s time for me to put everything to good use.
My craft resolutions are to;
1. Sort my huge drawer full of scraps, and
2. Make cards to sell at a local bookstore and to the others who placed orders last year.
My resolution is to submit more and catch up further on my albums!
I’m still fairly new the world that is papercrafting. I’ve learned a lot in the past year, and I’m hoping to learn more in the coming year. My main craft goal for the new year is to expand my horizons and try new things. I also really want to get my space more organized.
I don’t really consider this a resolution, rather a “need”… to finally finish organizing my craft attic space, to either purge some items or put them to use, and make more cards in time to send. If I get even one of those completed, I’ll be a happy girl.
I would want to make at least 2 different cards per week and a scrapbook layout per week so I can use all my stuff but I know there will be more dies coming monthly from PTI so I will plan on making more spaces to store them that way they are organized with the old ones I already have!
I always go through my crafting supplies one time in the spring to get rid of stuff that I am not using anymore. I put a big “free” sign on it when I go to a yearly stamping event in Buffalo. It’s fun to know that other people will breathe new life into my forgotten treasures. Now, if only I could take “THREE bags full”, instead of the usual one that I bring!!
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.
My girlfriend has one for me, she want to craft more together, sounds good to me, as long as I can teach her to recycle! Waste Not Want Not!
My New Year’s resolution would be to blog more. I make lots of cards and take photos of them, but never get them posted on my blog. I struggle with finding the right words for each post.
I have resolved to budget my craft spending this year. Gasp, I know. Seriously, though, I have decided to purchase based on my projects needs versus buying things I think I must have. Wish me luck.
I’ll keep it simple this year – try to mail cards I make on time for the event. I seem to always have to send “belated” birthday cards!
My resolution is the same every year – not to buy anything until I start using what I have! Hopefully, I can achieve at least 1/4 of that resolution in 2012!
I would like to build up a stash of cards.
I’m always making them at the last minute or
Not at all (Christmas cards).
My craft resolution is to take the time to create. With working full time and spending what little time off I have with my husband,children and grandchildren, I leave very little time to spend crafting. So this year I resolve to spend at least one day a week to making cards. Last year due to financial issues I vowed to slow down on my crafting purchases. Let me tell you PTI made it a very challanging year because I wanted it ALL!!! I am sure it will be the same this year!
My craft resolution is to organize and craft more. I spend more time buying and browsing and less time crafting. Maybe typing it here will encourage me to stick to my resolution. 🙂
Yes, I do have a craft resolution…actually two:
1) In my children’s scrapbooks I am 5 years behind, so I would like to catch up at least two years in 2012.
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.
Thank you!
To spend more time in my craft room for random creative time, not just when I have a card that needs to be mailed the next day.
great release!!! love all the new products. as for crafty resolutions….YES! I started Project Life and I am really excited about “keeping up” with my scrapbooking this year. Plus I get to use all my fave products here and there in my album. This is going to be a great scrapbooking YEAR!
To do more scrapbooking this year and to complete cards inside & out.
My craft resolution is to make all the cards that I send out this year and buy none! I’m a new card maker and have few sets, but I’m adding to them each month.
First off, congrats for starting off the New Year with a Big Bang of a Release! Amazing sets, dies, innovative products … we are lovin it! I have a few crafty goals/resolutions for this new year. I would say my top priority is to USE ALL of my stamps and supplies. I tend to get “hooked” on a select few and/or the new ones and not utilize those I had preciously. I need to USE them all, singly or in combination. 🙂 And what a better place to be inspired to do that, than here at PTI!
Mine is to try to be better organized and make sure that I do not buy any cards this year that I make everyone. That means I have to start a stash.
My resolution is to have the entire year of birthday cards ready to send and actually get them in the mail on time!
To organize my stamp space a bit better – get some CD folders like Nichole showed to store my dies especially!
This year I plan to create more cards and spend less time looking. I also want to spend at least 30 minutes at my craft table everyday. Finally,I need to be more timely; get cards out on time! By the way,I am using the Chinese New Year (Jan 23)as my start date!
My craft resolution is simply to make a point of taking more time to actually craft!
I have several craft resolutions for the new year. Most of all – STAMP MORE! Using the patterned paper I have is another. Going through my craft room and purging some of the things I don’t use anymore (old die cut machines, etc.) to make space for fun, new stuff.
My craft resolution this year is to plan ahead when making cards or gifts sets. I would love to finish my Christmas cards over the summer so I can enjoy the holiday season. Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration you show each day and also the great prize!
My resolution is to keep my craft room more orderly and clean up after each project so my room is ready and inviting the next time I want to create.
Since you asked………..here they are:
1. Organise my craft supplies and my room.
2. Use up all my stamps in every one of my stamp sets at least once this year.
3. Resolve to not buy colored cardstock this year (I have a huge stash that I need to use up first)
4. Update my blog regularly.
5. Try my hand at other paper crafts (other than cards and scrapbooks, that is)
6. Update my childrens scrapbooks.
7. Remember to keep my craft table clean and neat in between projects.
8. Complete all unfinished projects.
My resolution is to get all the birthday cards in the mail on time, to have a few sympathy cards on hand and to make and use an abundance of thank you cards. Oh, and to get back to the scrapbooks I started years ago for my kids.
My resolution is to actually use everything I buy! I have several stamp sets that have never even been used! Time to bust them out and get inky!
My craft resolution is to finish last year’s resolution of a certain number of cards for Operation Write Home.
I am trying to cut back on impulse spending! In 2012, I want to use up more of both my fabric stash and my papercrafting stash. And to clear out that which I won’t use and donate it… I find I create more with less product choices!
My resolution is get back to scrapping. I have been making cards and mini-books. My sister ( a relative newbie to scrapbooking) has inspired me to get scrapping before the memories are lost.
I most certainly do! Its to be more organised and NOT be up all night before a craft fair, birthday, Christmas Day or other celebration finishing everything off….. some hopes!!
My resolution would be one of old – reorgnaize my wonderful craft room. Donate older items that I will not use and create a “go to space” for all my paper products. I want to be able to create on the fly – that seems to be how I generally roll! Perhaps this shoudl be another resolution for me!
I want to scrapbook more and shop less ;). That is why I need to win this contest.
My resolution is to reorganise my stamps and to have a better storage system for them….it’s an ongoing project though!
Penny H
My resolution is to start earlier with the projects so that i don’t have to rush them for every event!
My resolution was to take things easy and not get so caught up in entering/trying to win contests. 🙂
My New Year intention for crafting revolves around time — take time, make time, find time, steal time — however it is done, find the time to create something!
I want to learn new techniques. I am usually so pressed for time that I don’t sit down and give myself time to experiment. This year, I hope to make the time.
My resolution is to get my crafting space much more organised now that I have an electronic die cutter and my crafting supplies have gone up quite drastically. I also resolve to make much more cards this year and it seems to be going to plan! I just cleared out more space today in anticipation of a new iMac… w00t!
I hope I can spend more time in crafting, instead of buying crafting tools !
I am hoping to get published this year. I am also going to send more birthday cards out, oh and I just bought a sewing machine on Friday so the machine and I are going to try to get along and I’ll incorporate some stitching on my cards. (I’ve always hated sewing, but have been thinking about this for a year and finally did it.)
My 2012 Craft Resolution is to make a card per day from the inspiration on Capture the Moment. I am making multiples of my favorites so I have a collection of cards to give when needed.
My resolution is to get my crafting space much more organised now that I have an electronic die cutter and my crafting supplies have gone up quite drastically. I also resolve to make much more cards this year and it seems to be going to plan! I just cleared out more space today in anticipation of a new iMac… w00t!My resolution is to get my crafting space much more organised now that I have an electronic die cutter and my crafting supplies have gone up quite drastically.

I dont make New Year’s Resolutions and havent’t since I was a kid. But this January I made a committment to a local nursing home to teach scrapbooking twice a month, providing all supplies and my time for free. I have volunteered at this home for two years and realized that they needed something to keep them busy. And this year, that’s me :}
My resolution is to craft more on a regular basis. I tend to be streaky…doing a lot of crafting then none at all. I also want to finish the projects that I have that are “in process”.
My craft resolution is to stop reserving my new craft buys for “best”. A few months down the line, the craft fashion has moved on and I want some new supplies and haven’t used the old ones!
Focus more on scrapbooking. AND clean up after myself. I seem to let things just pile up when I am done using something and then my craft room is out of control.
My ‘craft’ resolution is to use my supplies more & get published in a magazine!
You can never have too many supplies though!
Would be a dream to win this much stash!
My craft resolution is pretty much the same as last year’s resolution. USE MY STUFF! I am satisfied with my progress and I want to keep up the momentum, this time on a more regular basis. I also plan to finish a few projects that have been sitting around too long. My other goal is to actually mail the cards I make to their intended recipients. 😀
My resolution for the new year is to try to have more hand-made cards on hand and to get together with my crafting friends more often to do projects.
My resolution is to make at least 2 Christmas cards per month. Last year I dent have as many cards as I would have liked and my craft time is limited. I also want to use all the sets that are collecting dust. 🙂 and have fun in the process.
Organization is one of my top priorities, but that is ongoing, so I guess my new resolution is to take time to “create”, not just copy. Make my own designs! I’d love to do that!
My crafty resolutions are to make more cards for Operation Write Home than last year and to keep up to date on my Project Life album. Papertrey stamps keep me having fun on both of those projects!
I want to actually send some of the lovely cards I CASE from your design team!! No more missed birthdays! 🙂
Resolutions…
resolutions…
I guess the first one is to resolve to keep my resolutions…
*giggle*
But I want to organize my space…that’s tops! 🙂
Use what I have…donate what I truly won’t use…
and have a stash of cards ready for whatever occasion may arise when it arises instead trying to make time to make a card for said occasion…
now do you see why I need the first one? 🙂
I resolve to make more cards for various organizations that need them, i.e. Operation Write Home. Sometimes it’s hard for me to let go of my creations 😉 So I also resolve to make two or three at a time……hopefully!
I have two craft resolutions for this year: make more time for crafting and use more of what I have.
I didn’t really make any resolutions, but I would like to use my existing supplies more, and buy less… Of course it’s very hard, especially when I see fabulous images and dies such as this month’s release! I also need to blog surf less, and craft more!
I want to scrapbook more. I think I lost focus on what scrapbooking is all about. It’s not about how good or how arty your page is, but its all about about preserving those family moments. 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 goal is to purge my stamp room of a lot of my wooden/rubber stamps and get my photopolymer stamps organized in the newly-reclaimed space!
My resolution is to use my old stamp sets more and try some challenges! I buy lots of stamps and then don’t use them to their fullest. I have a few that I’ve never used. There are so many challenges out there, it would broaden my creativity!
I really want to keep my crafting space picked up and to get new things put away in a timely manner so that the space does not stay cluttered and more difficult to use.
My craft resolution is to actually put ink to the stamps I have bought! I have so many sets that have never been kissed with ink.
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 !
Anne-Laure ( from Paris but living in Bangalore India)
My resolution is easy…..use more of what I buy! LOL
Yes! While I’ve been pretty good about keeping up with stamping and sewing, I have been very negligent with scrapbooking. My son is a junior in high school and I’m determined to put a scrapbook together about his school years. One year a month is my resolution.
My craft resolution is to get an Etsy store up and running. I’m almost there 🙂
I want to have more cards on hand for occasions instead of having to make one on the day I need it..Also I am going to clean out my craft room and have a rummage sale or donate to someone.
My resolution is to really think about my purchases and only buy it if I think I will use it. I would also like to make a few cards a week and purge some older stamps in my room.
I want to get more scrapbooking done this year, and finish up the recipe book I have started.
My craft resolution is to learn how to take better photographs and actually *do* something with them! I am signed up for a photography course at the end of the month. 🙂
My crafty resolution is probably the same as most others, to get organized. I spend too much time looking for the right paper, tool, ink, etc.
My craft resolution is to not buy any dsp until my birthday…in September!!!! YIKES!! It’s been tough, but so far so good. I have stacks and stacks of paper pads and really must use them.
My resolution is to clean out and focus my crafting supplies. I frequently get “crafter’s block” when I have too many choices in my supply stash. I just get overwhelmed! I will most certainly be focusing my collection to mostly PTI items!!!
I am fairly new to card making. I now like the way my cards have evolved. This year I resolve to make my packages looking as good as the cards.
I’m sure that a lot of people will have the same craft resolution as me, craft more. I want to get my craft area organized and sit and make more, more, more!!
This is really embarrassing – but I would like to finally learn how to use (and use!) my sewing machine and Cricut… I would also like to ‘buy less, and use more’, from my stash that is. Thanks for the chance to win!
I want to scrap more layouts and become better in doing so. And I want to become a member of a great Design Team, so I am working on that one, too. But that’s more a dream, not a resolution…
My resolution is to organize the paper I have and to make it more “fun” to work in my craft room. To not worry about other things and just “enjoy” the process.
I need to get my craft space organized and my daughter wants a scrapbook for one of her graduation gifts…hmmm…18 years to get done in 6 mos. Plus I’m a full-time student and single mom…I think I can, I think I can! ;0
I want to try a more varied style instead of falling back on what is easy! I’m picking something out of each designed to try!
My resolution is to just do more. I always find other things that get in the way of my creative time. I want to get more done this year!!
My craft resolution for 2012 is organization! For instance, when I come home from a scrapbook weekend, I will put it all away – that day. I know, right? It’s also important for me to go through and really look at what I have and remember to use the things that I already have. I also hope to be able to craft a few things for myself this year.
I’m determined to utilize stamps to return to my scrapbooking roots. There’s no reason I can’t “build” scrapbook embellishments from stamp images. I love cardmaking, but think my granddaughters would like more pages for their scrapbooks.
—Connie
My resolution is to use up some of the supplies I already have make the time for some crafty projects. I would also like to really get organized – and then try to keep things that way!
This year I want to catch up on my scrapbooking and make my new blog http://beachorado.blogspot.com that i started the first of the year shine!
My craft resolution is to learn how to sew. Currently, I can only work with a needle and thread in a very limited sense, and I have to ask my mom to make simple projects like bookmarks, etc. I am also resolving to buy more stamps/dies this year. I have enough paper to last a while.
Use what supplies I have; finish UFOs; give away the surplus without feeling guilty about having bought it in the first place.
I have a couple this year. One is to actual send *all* the cards I make and stop saving the “special” ones. And two is to keep learning new techniques. So thanks to the PTI team for all the inspiration!
Organize, purge, make a supply of cards for different occasions, and share the craft.
I’d like to send out (and donate) more cards this year. 🙂
My craft resolution this year is to post a minimum of once a week on my blog, more if possible.
I have all the supplies I have yet to try in 3 boxes-I will reach for those first.
Yes, my resolution this year is to do a better job of actually using my purchases rather than just being a collector! Thanks for another great release!!
My resolution is to stop saving supplies for a special project! Every project is special and every supply can be replaced-usually with something even better!
My main craft resolution is to not buy any more stamping supplies with the exception of paper as I run low, but to use most of the many sets and embellishments I already own. I pray my willpower will be stronger than it normally is. Especially with all your new and fabulous products. 🙂
I have two craft resolutions for this year. The first is to make as many projects as I can with the products I already have (ok, beyond a ‘few’ new PTI stamp sets lol).
The second is to craft on a more regular basis. I sometimes have trouble getting motivated, but perhaps it’s a chicken and egg thing and I’ll get more motivated by doing more, not vice-versa.
I would like to work on being more creative and try new things with my paper crafting.
I definitely will be trying to use all the ‘new’ supplies I have that have never seen the light of day. Thanks for the chance to win.
I like to define my year in a word and this year my word is to CREATE. I am looking to be more creative in many different ways…New business..new me…and of course I will be creative in the craft department. Want to sell my creations.
Orginaze,and stay orginized ! Clean up after each card! ……no that will never happen . Make more cards to send just because! …..
My resolution has always been to actually use all the supplies – stamps, papers, tools, etc. – that I have purchased. I have (somewhat) organized my stash and realize that I have so much. Of course my other resolution is to win the lottery so I don’t have to work and will have all sorts of extra time to accomplish my first resolution!
Resolution…welllllll…have made myself a worthy hobby space and now I need to get in there and put all of my purchases to use. Have so much inspiration…need to get going on getting all the ideas “down on paper”…or maybe it’s “into paper”! HA!!!
Yes, I do…I am a “newbie” crafter, and started our crafting collection with Cricuts, etc. for a hobby that my 7 year old and I could build together. I homeschool her, so we have a lot of time for fun things, and as she says “I live to craft!” 😉 So my crafty resolution is to get really get started learning everything about this that I can, teach her as much as I can, and just have fun!
My resolution is to buy products I love and resist the urge to get the latest and greatest…just because.
I have many crafting goals – try new techniques, get my supplies organized, make more cards, send more cards… But I think the biggest one for me is to start using some of the unopened or unused supplies from my stash, rather than just stick to my favorites. I have lots of supplies that need so serious love!! Thanks so much for such a fun release. Looking forward to playing with THESE new supplies! 😉
I have to use every stamp set that I have this year and make sure that all those sets that haven’t seen any love in 2011 get a bit of attention!
My resolution this year is to be not afraid that I’ll wreck the paper, and create more. I have a great collection of supplies.
My resolution is to use my stash and give away what I don’t use. I’m hoping to de-clutter my home and craft room.
1. Get rid of things I’m storing and not using
2. Learn how to use my camera in manual mode
3. More scrapbooking!
We had recently moved to another state and my resolution was to get my craft room in order and working condition. I’ve made great headway on that, purging unused to sell, pass on and give away. I’ve gotten to stamp and scrap and love the clean area to work in now!
Wow! Looking at all the resolutions, so many sound like ones I should make, but will not follow through with.
So, instead, I will resolve to just enjoy my hobby, including all the addictions and compulsions that go along with it.
Yes, my crafty ‘resolution’ (I’d like to call it a ‘commitment’, because I am committed to getting it done!) is to organize my new craft area/desk and to keep current with Project Life this year. I also want to make handmade cards for all my families birthdays this year – no more store bought cards for me! =o) Happy 2012 everyone!
I only made one resolution this year and it was to fill my home with beautiful things I made myself! (So far I’ve made a set of curtains.)
I didn’t think of it at the time, but I should have added “to give beautiful homemade gifts to those I love” because I have already started on plans to make stamped sets of Christmas cards, thank you notes, and individual birthday cards. In fact, I am appending that to my resolution as of today! =)=)
My resolution is to use up more of my supply stash or pass it on for others to use. This will free up space for new stamps and help me build up a supply of cards ready when i need them. Maybe I’ll also be able to organize my stash at the same time. Thanks for the chance to win some new PTI goodies!
My craft resolution is to use it MORE. I am very far behind on my scrapbooks, and I really want to catch up. I also don’t want to be making cards and projects the night before I want to give them!
My craft resolutions for 2012 include no longer purchasing as much designer papers; playing along with & entering more card challenges and magazine design calls; and the big one – **hopefully** getting a card published!
MY resolution for this year is to make cards ahead of time so that I have them on hand. I would also like to try some new techniques.
I want to be able to finish my 2012 photo a day album that I started. Wish me luck!
My craft resolution is to create more scrapbook layouts of my family and incorporate all the wonderful stamps and other PTI products I own and to be sure I have birthday cards on hand to give out on time to friends and family.
My New Years resolution is to use what I love and get rid of what I don’t.
YES! My resolution is to make at least one Christmas card /tag a week and one other card (birthday, get well, thinking of you) a week and build up a stash rather than waiting until I need one to make it! Of course, I will be using PTI stamps….LOVE them!!! 🙂
My resolution is to get into my craft room and start creating! I have lots of PTI stamps that need to be inked up! (And my stash keeps growing!)
My resolution is to go through my stuff and see what I have and actually use it before buying any new stuff. And if I buy something new, to make sure it coordinates with what I already have. I have a habit of seeing something and just buying it without seeing if I already have it or if it even goes with what I have.
This year I am learning to sew.
I want to make more Scrapbook pages that incorporate Stamping in them.
This year I intend to remember EVERY birthday with a handmade card. In previous years I made it through a few months of keeping this resolution, then ended up slacking off. I also want to create a bit more fearlessly, instead of always worrying whether something looks “just right” to the point where I don’t end up finishing what I started.
To get organized! I am on my way but still have a lot of work ahead of me.
I have to finish the scrapbooks I have for my three kids and I have to use what I already have instead of always buying new things all the time.
My resolution is simple, if I get it out, put it away when I’m finished. Less Mess!
I have two resolutions this year: one is to keep my studio relatively neat and the other is to post to my blog at least once a week. Two weeks into the new year my studio is still tidy and I’ve posted on my blog three times. 2012 is looking pretty good from where I’m standing!
1. To send out more cards. 2. To watch my budget. Of course, PTI always makes that last one hard. 🙂
My craft resolution is to use the products that I have (I have many) for my projects. I seem to keep buying products with the intent that one day I will use it. I will “shop” in my craft room.
Organize, organize & organize! That is my goal for this year & I’m determined to get it done! I LOVE your NEW release for this month….AWESOME!!! Oh, how I would LOVE to win this, thanks so much for the chance!
My craft resolution for 2012 is to get all those stamps out and use them! I have my “go-to” stamps that I reuse over and over, but I also have some sets that I have only used once or twice. I want to put those to good use this year. It helps when I see the DT or other members use stamps that I own. I always get inspired to dig those stamp sets out. Here’s to lots of great stamping this year!
My resolution this year is to stop buying stuff that I already have…like more flower stamps. I have a million different flower stamps. I don’t really need any more. So, I am going to try my hardest NOT to put the new ff set in my cart this month even though it is only $5!! 😉 I just need to love the stuff I have already. PTI will test me every month with all of their wonderful new sets, but I will try to have control! lol
My resolution is to clean-up my craft room and KEEP it clean. I was so busy making things before the holidays I have yet to have quality time in my space. That needs to stop! I need to NOT allow that to happen in the future.

I want to build up an inventory of cards so they are ready to go when I need them. Too often I get caught with a timeline so tight I simply give up trying to create my own cards, which is senseless given the amount of products and ideas at my disposal.
My “craft” resolution would be to be more organized! I need to organize my supplies and get my creative juices flowing!
I would have to say that I am going to try to use my craft supplies that have gone by the wayside, or been buried under new purchases…it’s pretty bad when you don’t actually know what you have!!
I have a few crafty resolutions, but the biggest are:
– Buy less use more
– Submit to more publication calls
My biggest priority is getting organized and then just getting things done…I want to be able to put a dent in my supplies this year. I want to donate to local organizations to help them with their fundraising…Sounds doable …lets hope I can stick to it…Happy New Year!!!
My resolution this year is to try to do more than last year 🙂 I really want to add more pages to my daughters album as well as create more cards.
I really want to try more techniques and this year I´m going to focus a little bit on hybrid scrapbooking as well.
Ohhh and I just have to buy some more goodies, especially stamps and dies 😉
it’s not exactly a resolution, but after rushing to make 5 nov. & dec. birthday cards i vowed to make my cards in advance so i’m not rushing during the holiday season. also, i plan to make some Christmas cards this year. thanks.
Get organized and re do my craft space!
I had several resolutions…first was to make 1 Christmas card a week so I’m not scrambling come December to do them all at once. Next, was to ink up those stamps that have been neglected and basically start using more of my stash instead of hording it. And lastly to make more gift sets to give away.
My craft resolution is to try to use most of the supplies I have (paper mainly) so I can make room for new stuff. I also would like to make a card with every one of my PTI sets, an interesting challenge as I have quite a few. 🙂
I want to be smarter about what I buy! I also want to focus more on masculine stamp sets as well as continuing giving away sets I no longer use.
I am taking the lead from another forum member, and *attempting* to use a different stamp set each week to make some cards. This way – some “forgotten” stamps will see some ink 🙂 Its a great way to jump start my mojo! Thank you for another wonderful release!
Amazing release!!
I do have a crafty goal for the year and it’s to create at least one new layout each week. I tried last year, and although I did create over 52 layouts, it wasn’t each week so it didn’t really meet my goal. The point of it all is to make sure I’m getting crafty all year long! 😉
Thanks for the chance to win!!

My “one word” for this year is MODERATION. Everything in moderation. My craft shopping, cards, layouts etc. I need to shop wisely and use the things that I buy.
My crafting resolution is to get organized, pare down the things I no longer use or really love, and only buy those things that I really KNOW will get used in my craft room!
My resolution was to do more stamping… find the time and make it happen. We’ll see how it goes 🙂
My resolution is to have a prettier, and much more organized, crafting space. This would require a good amount of purging, donating, etc. and would facilitate more efficient crafting! Maybe next time I lose that tiny “m” Block Alphabet die I’ll be able to find it in less time!
My original craft-related resolution was to not buy more than a set $ amount per month…..but I can see I’m breaking that here tonight!
I told myself come the New Year that I was going to make sure and ink up all those stamps sets that have yet to be taken from their packaging. I can’t resist buying them so I better start using them.
I’ve had a really hard 2011 so my 2012 resolution is to craft more and blog more about what I have crafted. I started last week, and i’m loving it 🙂
I would love to say I’ll be a neater crafer and clean up in a more timely manner, but that’s not a very realistic goal. It would be great to use all the stuff I have too… But, on a whole, no, I don’t have a crafty resolution.
My craft resolution for 2012 is to concentrate on putting all of my beautiful stamps and papers to good use by scrapbooking some more layouts!
My goal is to make and send more “Thinking about you” cards.
This year I want to explore more ways to use my stamps for art journaling and other projects that challenge me to try new techniques and styles.
My aim is to keep the projects I am working on separated (each in its own large envelope) so that I do not waste time repeatedly sorting them out. I started doing this prior to the New Year, and, so far, it’s working.
My craft resolution for 2012 is to clean out the old papers/ embellishments etc. and donate them to the school I work at. The 6th graders LOVE to use these on special books and projects to take home.
My goal is to have more cards on hand for when I need them. I have missed a few birthdays this year because I forgot about them until the last minute and didn’t have any cards on hand. I have even made a perpetual birthday calendar this year that is displayed in my office so whenever I have free time, I can make cards specifically for the birthdays coming up!
This past year I made so many Christmas cards for the church and for customers that I didn’t get any of my own out! So this year my crafting resolution is to make 1 Christmas card a week for a year to build up a stash. Here’s hoping I can stick to it!
My crafting resolution is to enjoy the process of creating. I don’t want to worry about deadlines, or finishing a specific number of projects. However, having said that my other goal for this year is to finish my Dad’s quilt for his birthday in July. I hand quilt so I may not have as much time to finish this as you think! 😉
My resolution is to buy less and user more of wat i have!
Mine is more of a list of goals than resolutions. I want to blog more, get my crafty to do list finished off (mostly handmade gifts), make some cards for my stash, enter some craft shows, submit some projects for publication and actually mail cards for church members who are sick or grieving. Big list huh?
To use what I buy! Starting to think “collecting” is my favourite part of the hobby! :o)
My resolution, aka..goal, is to have an index book of all my sentiments. I have a slight sentiment addiction and thus have no idea how many or even what I actually have. That is not to say I don’t forsee more in my future, of course!
My resolution is the same as last year and hopefully this is the year I can make it happen. I want to start a crafty blog, so that I can make some new crafty friends and participate in blog hops. Also, to weed out some of the old to make room for the new.
My resolution is to make an inventory binder of all the stamp sets that I have by category.
This year I want to make more scrapbook pages and less cards. I also want to focus on my DTs projects more, use all the paper that I have, and -time permitting- participate in more challenges… That’s a lot of resolutions but the main one is really taking the time to develop my pics and scrapbook those memories away! 😀
Wonderful release once again! Thank you for this opportunity to win… 😀
My crafty resolution for this year is to send out more cards, make em’ and mail em’!
My craft resolution is to use what I have and limit what I add this year! ;o)
Oh definitely! Mine is to get my blog up and running so that I can post projects and enter challenges more easily. I have put it off for far to long!!
My resolution is to get and stay organized. I tend to create “in a mess” which is OK because it works for me, but makes it harder to start something new. I resolve to clean my work table when I finish each project.
Yes, I used to do the PTI Blog Hop all the time. I have not done it for a while. My goal this year is to join the blog hop again.
I want to update and organize my craft room — have been looking at paint colors and storage options. It’s hard, though, because I’d rather be making cards! LOL!
I resolve to use more of my supplies that I have hoarded. Sometimes I don’t like using up supplies! Now I have excess! That’s why I love stamps and dies because they have endless possibilities!
My resolution is to use use use and enjoy instead of admire and touch and treasure my stuff. This is going to involve bringing my craft area upstairs from the basement, and buying stamps to send my creations (which I am sure will be wonderful) to the ones I love. I do have Facebook now to give me a week’s notice of birthdays, so I can get those cards made and sent!!!!
I haven’t bothered by resolutions in a long time! However, I have seen where folks try to use every stamp in their stash – I really like that idea and will probably give that a try!
I need to organize my craft room and really go through it all and get rid of all the old stuff. I love paper and can’t seem to give it away, I might use it someday! I need to make more time to spend there, I really enjoy it.
I would like to organize my craft space and try to keep it clean and organized. I would also like to make more time to making cards and creating a stock pile of assorted cards to use and or give away. thanks for the chance to win
I want to use every set that has not been used in the last year, at least once. If it no longer thrills me, LOL, it will go up for sale. I am also going to make a good dent in all the designer paper I have.
My commitment for this year is to open immediately and put to use immediately whatever new item I purchase. That means I can’t purchase anything without planning a significant block of time to go home and put it right to use. Coincidentally that means that even gathering the mail may require me to open my purchase from Papertrey and
so totally get right down to the task of creating something absolutely delightful!
I learned a huge lesson from last year. Although I made a huge pile of cards last year, I was in such a rush to photograph them and share them on my blog that I did not finish the inside. I know, I have most of the Inside/Out PTI series so I should have been able to make fabulous insides, but I just didn’t. This year, I am going to make it a priority!
YES! Mine is to finish a vacation album that I have been putting off for way to long:)
I want to sell more cards to fund my crafting purchases and make at least one card or project a week. I love using PTI – it makes my projects look so professional!
My 2012 crafty goal is to use what I love instead of hoarding it for something “special”. Every occasion is special, so have decided to use what I love to make it even more special. And, like many others, to re-home the “extra” supplies and old “not-my-style-anymore” supplies.
My crafty resolution is to eBay about 80% of my craft room that’s already well underway. I don’t need to have everything out there anymore and know what I like and will use.
To actually use some of things I have in my room and keep up with not buying all the time.
I’m new to the world of card making (and crafts in general) and i don’t have a resolution… but i would love to learn how to find more uses of the tools that i have purchased for this hobby and and find the best way to organize everything in the small space that i have. Thanks for the chance!
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 hope to publish my first knitted sweater pattern this year…fingers crossed!
I want to use more stamps on my scrapbooking pages. There are so many stamps that would make great backgrounds, borders, and titles. I need to get going!
I have had craft resolutions in the past about creating everyday and getting my craft room organized. I don’t have a craft resolution this year, but I am working with the “reduce” for my whole life this year as a resolution. I have much clutter and I feel better when things are a bit more organized. So, I will also apply reduce to my craft room too.
My craft resolution is to well..craft. I went back to work full time this year and I have not yet found the balance for keeping everyone happy and finding time to craft. I am working on it. 🙂
My goal this year is to USE the stuff I have and to build up a supply of “go to” cards for those situations that seemingly pop up out of nowhere. It would be nice to be ahead of the game instead of always scrambling to get something together!
My craft resolution is to finally create a craft room out of a bedroom when my daughter goes to college in August! Just let her try to talk me out of it!
My craft resolution this year is to try to get published in a magazine. I’ve only tried once several years ago and I know it will not happen unless I keep trying!
My craft resolution is to make all my personal cards three months in advance.
Also purchase items that I really love and need not just want !!
I usually don’t make any resolutions cuz I always break them within a day or two, but if I did it would definitely be to send out more cards! This year I am also going to take blank cards to the hospital and personal care homes so that they can be used for the patients.
To make at least 2 cards with every PTI set I own!!!!!!!
My resolution this year to to stay caught up on my scrapbooking, and to ACTUALLY MAIL most of the cards I’ve been making out to people!
I should probably be going through the piles of supplies as well, but we’ll leave that for next year haha!
My resolution is to spend more time in my craft room using my PTI goodies. I don’t get to send much time these days playing in my craft room and I miss it. Crafting is such a great stress reliever.
Love the question. I actually put my craft resolutions down on paper a few weeks ago. My first resolutions is to scrapbook more. My goal is a two page layout a week. I also plan to submit some of my cards for publication, and finally to blog more!
Oh boy do I! I am in the process of redoing and majorly organizing my craft room. I want my time in there to be as fun and productive as possible. Getting it in tip-top shape will help me with that goal! Thanks for all the wonderful products and inspiration this month!

Love the new release review! It was so nice to see so many beautiful projects as I scrolled down to the comment box!
I definitely have a craft resolution for this year! It began last week with a clean and purge in my craft room. I hold on to ‘stuff’ for too long, even when I know I am not going to use it!! I had so many old ‘things’ from when I first started scrapbooking and I just needed to get rid of them to have a fresh crafting start. I also plan to keep more up-to-date with my crafty endeavours…I am getting so far behind, and with a new baby on the way we all know that is only going to get worse!! haha … MUST KEEP ON TOP OF THINGS!!!
Yes, it is to make a card and a layout per week. Plus keep up with my Project Life ‘week at a glance’ project!
Stop hoarding! Use what I have, especially patterned paper. I can always buy more.
My resolution is to craft more. Life is so busy…I need to make time for what I enjoy.
Of course! I resolve to get more organized and stay that way! My desk is always a mess and I have to clean it before I can start a new project. I am trying to make myself take the time to clean when done so when an idea hits, I don’t have to take the time to clean first!
Love ALL the projects made this month! Can’t wait to order the Mat Stack 5 collection!
I want to get my space better organized so I know what I have and things are better labeled. Getting new floors now and a new work space is being created…so I’m on my way!
I don’t normally make resolutions, but I would like to make and send more cards this year!
My goal is to make twice as many projects with my stash as with new goodies. Time to use all that stuff I love!
Oh yes, I have several…but first and foremost is to get organized…or to keep it organized…I am a messy crafter….and then to keep getting new goodies…it helps to motivate me!! Wonderful projects from the DT as always…I have so many new ideas…thank you!!
My craft resolution this year is to use what I have! Also, to create a few holiday cards a month, so I won’t be such a crazy person in December!
Oh, the list is endless, but here are some–use the things I already own more, clear out and give away the stuff I know I won’t use, make and donate cards for the troops.
Yes I do! I want to complete one quilt a month this year, get up to date with my scrapbooking (including my wedding album!) and stamp 12 cards a month, all while keeping my craft room organized! Thanks for a chance to win it all!
To carve out a little more time for crafting in my busy schedule.
My resolution is to make more time for paper crafting & to make more time for myself. I am going to try to chill out & relax. I’m going to try to quit being so obsessive about my house & spend more time crafting to relax. Paper crafting has to be cheaper than therapy & I’m going to need therapy is I don’t learn how to stay a little more low key!!!!!!
I have SO many! I want to use up all of my supplies in my stash, get my projects done early so I’m not up all night before the holidays rushing, get published in a magazine, start designing my own digital stamps and templates, master the art of using my Gypsy, and the list goes on and on…….
Thank you for the chance to win!
Ooooh, good question! My craft resolution would have to be to stamp more and clean out what hasn’t been used in a long time!
I want to challenge myself by using different styles & colors than I usually do – go outside my comfort zone and mix things up!
Yes, I resolve to have all of my Christmas cards made by the end of October this year. I would also like to build up my supply of cards for all occasions.
My crafty resolution is to use each and every stamps & dies I buy.Also to use more stamps for background and buy less designer papers!
I do have a craft resolution for the new year and that is to get organized. Since my introduction to the world of cardmaking (which has only been about four years now)I have acquired a lot of supplies and I need to make some sense of it all. Right now it is scattered here and there. I’ll know I have something and end up spending over half my crafting time looking for it.
My crafty resolution is to use the things I’ve got. Having said this, I’m still planning to do a little shopping tonight because there are a few things I just have to add to my PTI collection. Thanks for the fantastically varied projects this month!
My craft resolution for 2012 is to complete more scrapbook layouts. I need to catch up on my scrapbook that this past couple years been left behind.
My goal for this year is to get caught up on my scrapbooking and plan ahead better on my cardmaking for special occassions. Last year, I had waited until the last minute too many times to make a card and I felt that hindered my creativity. I resolve to do better in 2012!
I am resolving to try at least one new technique or style every week. I’m always so inspired by other crafters and think ‘oh, what a great idea!’ and file it away somewhere, only never to be looked at again. I’d love to mix it up a little and see where my creativity takes me!
Oh, I always have a craft resolution and it always the same one. To get more scrapbooking done! I don’t get to spend much time crafting, so I need to be more organized. I need to spend less time looking and more time doing!
My craft resolution is to organize! I really need to go through my supplies and get rid of the things I do not use. This will help me see what I have and have forgotten about – all the things I just “had to have”! Hopefully this will lead to organizing my time a bit better also, and not have me rushing to do last minute cards (hate that!).
I have a few projects & techniques I want to try in the new year for all the different crafts I do…stamping, scrapping, sewing, crocheting, loom knitting & embroidery! But mostly just seeing projects thru to completion!
My craft resolution is to purge and organize my stuff, do more scrapbooking with the supplies that I have, and to do a better job of sticking to my crafting budget (the last part is going to be really hard!).
My craft resolution for the new year is to try and use more of what I currently have and do less impulsive shopping.
To devote more time to crafting and try to involve some friends to spread my love of crafting.
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!
My craft resolution is to get some photo albums and scrapbook the many wonderful photos of my 6-yr old granddaughter.
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.
Actually SEND more cards!
This year I want to make more time for me to create. I want to be prepared with hand made birthday cards and send them out on time. And I want to create more scrapbook pages using all of the wonderful products I have purchased and organized.
Yes, my craft resolutions are to create more, comment more and play more. Thank you so much for the chance to win!
Use that Stash! Ya know, like move that bus! LOL! I have been doing good so far evenn if it’s only the 14th of January 😉
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! 🙂
While I’m mainly a scrapbooker I really want to start making all of the cards I give. I’m going to try and make tons of thank you and get well cards so that I can send one when needed. Thanks for the chance to win some of your beautiful stamps.
My craft resolution is to use my stash! I need to organize my stash and use it.
Where to begin … I need to use my stash of supplies more often. I love PTI stamps and have many of them. It’s time to use some of the older sets I own whether for scrapbook layouts or cards. The stamps are all so versatile. I just have to pull out those older sets and get to work!
I would like to resolve to make the cards I need way in advance of needing them…but this never happens! There is something about having a deadline that spurs my creativity!
My resolution is two-fold: 1. Make better use of my paper stash and 2. Push my creativity to a higher level by leveraging the ideas the surround me everywhere!
I have a resolution to use the things in my stash, and to make at least one Xmas card a month. The holidays are so stressful and busy that I like to be prepared!
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,
Haha- use more of the things I buy! Inc, PTI- I seem to have not near enuf time to stamp just for fun, with the deadlines I have, so that is another resolution- carve out some time each week ‘just for fun’ stamping. I am also going to *try* to get published- meet the deadlines for submissions….go tru my inventory and donate unused things to my son’s school’s scrapbooking club:)
My resolution is to use all the wonderful PTI stamp sets that I bought last year. Some of them have never seen ink and I want to make sure I use and enjoy every one of them!
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!
Having also been remodeling through 2010 and 2011, I am hoping to start a blog this year to record my projects and share them. I keep busy with work and two young kids, but I think it would be a neat learning experience and I always love seeing other people’s blogs. Thanks for the opportunity, there have been some amazing things released in January!
I am resolving to craft 5 days/week, even if it is just a little something small.
My resolution is to get back into my scrapbooking. I was focussed on cards last year & ths year I want to do more of both.
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.
My crafty resolution is to create at least two cards a week…with one of them being a Christmas card. That way in December I’ll have a big stack of beautiful cards to send to special people and won’t have to send out Costco photo cards to the people I love 🙂
I have a drawerful of wonderful stamps that I have never used. My resolution is to use those stamps!
My resolution is to use this year to get caught up on a few projects I have really wanting to finish. Need to check some things off my list.
My resolution is to learn new techniques and incorporate them into my card making this year.
My resolution is to get my collection of PTI inks and coordinating products!
To keep increasing my collection of stamps and dies! I have plenty, but constantly love the feeling of mixing old faces with new product. 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.
My craft resolution is to finish up every project that is patiently awaiting my attention. So many ideas … so little time!
My resolution is to “get organized.” That could be a full-time job!!
I’d like to build up a supply of cards to have on hand instead of making a card for a specific occasion.
My craft resolution this year is to create at least one scrapbook page for my Disney scrapbook each month. And of course, try to get my cards made up ahead of time instead of having to scramble the day of an event 🙂
My craft resolution is to go through my stash of stuff and decide what things I can donate to our schools and then actually use what is left before buying more of it (like patterned paper).
Crikey!!! I am such a procrastinator…. but I would like to craft more and use the immense hoard of supplies I have accrued. I get overwhelmed by all the incredible inspiration I look at and it puts me off (well that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it – LOL.
Thank you for another wonderful release – I always think “what else could you design, that I could possible need (aka desire) but so many things are shouting my name…loudly :o)
I want to be more consistent in my crafting. I craft like a crazy woman and then I have to take a break…currently I am in once of those breaks and I need to get back into the swing of things.
My goal is to FINALLY get my craft room organized for maximum efficiency. I’ve had a cabinet made to help with this purpose and aim to put it to full use!
my resolution is to submit cards for publication consideration at least 12 times this year.
I don’t really have a Craft New Years resolution. But I would like to be more prepared this year in making my cards. I would also love to win one of the Blog opportunities this year for New Releases.
My resolution is to go through my stuff and donate papers, embellies that I know I won’t use to our school. Then I will use what I have before buying new (such as patterned papers).
Use paper & embellishments that I’ve hoarded because they’ve been “too pretty to use”.
My biggest goal for this year is to finish an ABC scrapbook for my 17 year old son who will be going off to university soon. I have the page layouts done so now I need to get all the photos together, crop them and do the journalling. I also need to do some purging and reorganizing in my craft room.
I have a couple resolutions for crafting this year – get organized and clean up my craft space and spend more time actually crafting! Lol. Pretty simple and I am sure a lot of people have the same goals. 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win and the continued amazing products and inspiration!
I have a couple of resolutions. I need to use more of my older sets. I find myself focusing so much on my newer sets. My second reseolution is to give more cards. I always do the holidays and birthdays but never a just because of thinking of you.
My resolution is to use up more of my supplies, and ink up stamps that have not yet seen an ink pad!! I need to “shop” right here in my own craft room. Love “Everything” in your January release..
My New Year Resolution is to use my Pattern Paper Supplies and Stop Hoarding them ….SO that I can buy new Ones!!!!
I have a resolution to spend at least 2 hours every week crafting.
1. Buy less. Make more. 2. No more patterned paper. Unfortunately, I’m already breaking my resolutions with this release!
No resolutions per say but this time of year does remind me to try to stay organized, use or lose my supplies and to try to find time everyday to be creative.
My craft resolution is to make better use of the tools I have in hand and to spend at least 3 hours a week crafting because I had a REALLY pathetic second half of 2011 when it came to crafting!
My crafting goals for 2012 are to get my blog started and to submit my work to try and get published.
My resolution is to make up more cards in advance to have in my stash. I often spend a couple of hours making one card from planning to production, so I can’t wait until the moment I need it.
I have two crafty resolutions for this year. 1) I would love to be in a design team. I have submitted to a few but have yet to be accepted, so I will keep trying. 2) I would also love to be published. I have never submitted to a magazine, self doubt has kept me from this dream. But 2012 is the year that I stop second guessing myself and just go for it. Great release, all the cards and projects created have been amazing.
My craft resolution is to use what I have! I horde all my embellishments and designer paper and this must STOP! And I also want to make my Christmas ornaments using the wonderful material I have stored so neatly away. Lots to do and we shall see how I keep this goal/s by November.
My resolution is to use more of the wonderful products from Paper Trey. I tend to stock pile them and just look at them. 🙂
I want to make a big dent in the transformation of my “junk” room into a CRAFT ROOM! I’m not saying it will be done by the end of the year, but I want to see some progress anyway!
I actually don’t have a craft resolution. But if I had to have one, I would say that I need to try different techniques and do a little more thinking outside the box. Just like we have seen the oh so fabulous designers here do. Like taking the front & center die and using it as a card, instead of a cute bag.:)
My crafty resolution is to make something crafty every week. So far it’s been great especially since PTI and its designers have so much creative inspiration!
I haven’t made a formal resolution, but my plan is to transform my spare bedroom into my craft room. Hopefully then I will actually be able to use my supplies instead of just store them. Time to get busy!
My resolution is to better organize my craft materials. This would save me so much time!
My craft resolutions are to try different techniques, and to finish my 2011 scrapbooking…
Yes, it is not to place any orders to PTI despite how much I like the new releases UNTIL my die is mailed to me that I ordered on NOV. 15. The last response that I got from your company was that you would get to it when you can. Kind of sounds like a brush off to me
Mine is to scrapbook more and incorporate my stamps into my layouts.
My New Year’s resolution has already been broken – I told myself I wasn’t going to buy any designer papers that come in pads as I use less than half of the papers that are in the set. But of course, I went and bought a pad as I loved every one of the papers and they were half off (like that really justifies the purchase!). Part two of my resolution is to use up my already large collection of DP – I find I’m using it less and less as I like the more simple backgrounds and I’ve started stamping more to make my own DP!
My resolution is to submit more cards for publication, even if it means not entering as many on-line challenges.
PS–love how easy you make it for us to find the new products & projects!
My resolution is to use some of my older “must have”
set more. I plan on having some of these sets sitting
on my stamping table so they will be right in front of
me, but next to my new “must have” sets. Our scrapbooking store takes donations of crafting items
for a local charity that does crafting with children.
I plan on going through my stash of papers and embellisments and donating what I’m not using.
I don’t really do resolutions but I really want to do a big purge and clean out of my craft room this year so that I can feel more organized in there.
Love this new release, thanks for the chance to win! 🙂
my resolution for 2012, not to buy so many designer papers as the last year ;)). and for all I will make one card for christmas each month to be more relaxed for christmastime.
hugs and smiles conny
Organize my dies and purge my craft room!
My craft resolution is to participate in craft challenges. It’s a great way to learn a new technique and to keep those creative juices flowing. What a great release this month!
To get published this year! I also want to stay on top of getting birthday cards out to my extended family.
Absolutely! I have several crafting resolutions: do more scrapbooking, update my blog more often, pare down my crafting supplies and tools to what I really use, start my holiday crafting earlier in the year and participate in more challenges. Whew!
Focus more on scrapbooking and less on card making. My albums haven’t had many pages added to them in the past year. I need to remedy that!
My resolution is to use more of my stash. Great release!
My reslution is to make more cards and get more crafty with my kids….it’s so therapeutic for them and myself.
I have resolved to “Use It or Lose It” to thin out my stash. I cannot buy something new until I have used something old – or found it a new home. So I am guessing that gives me about 12 hours to get busy since I have quite a bit on my wish list for this release tonight!
I’m really going to be much more selective in what I buy and buy less. I have so many stamps and papers that need to be used before I buy any more. We’ll see how long I can stick to this resolution!
I hope to put together packets of cards from my stash so that I have gifts ready when I need them. In order to do this, I will have to start producing more cards! Some of my earlier creations seem pretty primitive to me now so I hope to do some new designs that make me proud!!! Your ideas inspire me…
Mine would be to get more organized, so that I can easily find things. The disorganization stifles my creativity.
My craft wish for this year is to scrapbook more. I want to do my own version of Project Life – review and record each week of my life in 2012. With four gorgeous grandsons, I have plenty of inspiration!
i only have one this year. the economy has placed unbelievable financial strains on our schools/children.
my goal is selling all the cards i create and donating 100% of the sales to our local high school, middle and elementary schools through Boosters organizations and ASB transportation funds that have been established. transportation in california has been cut (no busses for the kids to and from school or for extracurricular activities spelling bee, field trips, math counts, any/all sports trips) we are trying to raise money to run the school Excursions for sports trips and all extracurricular activities for the kids. while it’s not a personal goal, i have never loved creating more and feel blessed to be able to help all these kids.
YES I do.. Thank You for asking! 🙂 My biggest one is going to be clean and organize my craft room.. I want to be able to USE the treasures I buy!! 🙂 And to just ENJOY the creating process without over thinking my creative process! 🙂 Happy New Year PTI gang!!!
To remember why I craft. To always find joy in my hobby.
my resolution for this year is simply to craft more…so many projects…so little time….I need to organize my day better.
I love making things for holidays, especially Christmas, Halloween, and Valentine’s, so I am always crafting like crazy in the months adding up to the holidays. My craft resolution this year was to craft more without the inspiration of the holidays. I really need to focus on my scrapbooking and year-round cards.
Make a card a day, that’s my craft resolution. So far it isn’t working so well !
My resolution is to start using all the fabulous stuff I have bought over the last couple of years. I will spend one weekend a month making cards or scrap booking. I have some awesome Papertrey stamps and dies that have yet to be used.
I need to start making more cards instead of just looking at blogs. I would also love to start scrapbooking. I would also like to have cards on hand as I always seem to rush at the last minute to produce a nice card. If I could start them sooner maybe I could be a little more creative! Love this release! Thanks PTI for the inspiration! Truly Amazing!
My craft resolution is to make time to be creative. I’ve been putting crafting on the back burner so much that I had forgotten how much joy it brings to me and to those that I give the cards/gifts to. When I made a card recently it was such a pleasure to create and give.
My goal this year is to get published in a magazine by the end of 2012. I’ve submitted cards before, but not often enough to be chosen……..so, maybe this year will be the year!
My resolution is probably a common one, but it is to resist the urge to hoard more patterned paper and to actually use all the cute, brand new stuff I have. I’m not sure I have the will-power though–I would probably have to resist going into stores and visiting my favorite blogs which I don’t see happening. 🙂
I would like to find more time to spend in my craft room. Last August I returned to school to obtain my Masters in Nursing Administration. I don’t have much free time, but my resolution is to spend it crafting.
I have several resolutions but right now the biggest on my plate is figuring out what to do with all my scraps, I have two boxes full. I just hate throwing away anything I might be able to use, but after a while I dont even remember what paper it was and that makes it harder to include in my blog which then makes me use more new stuff, aaahhh what a vicious circle!

I have several craft resolutions: clean up my craft space and purge, purge, purge and cut back on buying new products. Note I said “cut back” not cut out!
My resolution was to clean my craft room, every drawer, bin, shelf, desk, everything! And donote the things I have not used in years. It took me an entire week but I did it and have to say it is such a nice feeling to one, have clean and organized room and two, give supplies away to others who will show them some love.
i don’t generally make new years resolutions.. however, i did decide to get myself more organized in the limited space i have and i already accomplished that goal!
My resolution is to clean up my craft room. Get more organized and use more of what I have. I too need to never buy another sheet of paper, probably for the rest of my life. But Dearest Jane is calling my name. Thanks for another wonderful month.
My craft resolution is to use my supplies more. I have been real busy with organizing (probably because I am comfortable with that) but I need to get out of my comfort zone and experiment and play around more.
I am making an album for some friends whose daughter was hit by an SUV in May ’10, my goal is to finish the album of her incredible story by July.
I would like to join the all the MIM challenges and try to make the blog hops.
My resolution is to use a piece of designer paper on every card I make. I have way too much patterned paper and need to start using it!
my crafty goal for the year is to start selling crafty stuff full time- aka. etsy and craft shows! 🙂 oh yea, and actually finish the myriad of scrapbooks & mini-albums I have started!!
My resolution is to finish my craft room by organizing all my stamps and stamp sets. I recently redid my craft room and it looks great so far. I just have to finish up the rest to make it as functional as possible.
I would love to become more organized both in my supplies and my creative ability. My mind tends to be very disorganized and I get a little overwhelmed at times. I also plan on building up my pti collection!
I am excited about this release! One of my new year craft resolution is to clean my craft room and put things away immediately after I use them! At least to have half of my craft table showing up all the time! Now… It is still completely covered…. 😉
I have a couple 🙂 Submit for publication…requires confidence and courage and dedicated/scheduled “me time” to play. 🙂 Thanks as always for the wonderful inspiration and beautiful ideas.
My crafty resolution is definately to use more of what I’ve already got – better for my purse and the environment!
My resolution is to push myself to try new things this year – to get outside my comfort zone. As part of this, I plan to participate in more challenges. Lots of fun in store!
My resolution is to spend time at least four times a week in my craft room…whether it’s to stamp, organize, plan projects, whatever…and for several good reasons. I am so fortunate to have an amazing collection of supplies – some that have never been used, and I’m intent on using them this year! Also, it’s a great stress reliever…and I’m much happier when I’m creating something. I also want to get way ahead of the holidays this year and create my projects all throughout the year, so it’s less hectic when the holidays do arrive. I also want to purge some supplies that aren’t being used and find a good home for them. Happy New Year!!
My crafty resolution is to be more proactive about submitting for publication. I’ve been so lazy!
My New Year’s “resolution” is rather contradictory, I want to use up the hobby supplies I have AND I want to start a few new hobbies. So, needless to say, I won’t be saving any money this year.
After getting my new supplies organized (hooray for Christmas), my resolution is to design and make a new card every Friday.
I have several: Become more organized; purge things I am not using; find time to make more cards and have them available when I need them instead of making them in a panic at the last minute.
I have given myself a new resolution for the year and that is to not to put off getting the birthday and Anniversary cards done that I know I need to have made. As well as trying to keep up with my blog.
My craft resolution is to actually finish my works in progress. I would also like to make an inventory binder of all my craft supplies :).
My resolutionn would be to give away the supplies I no longer use and use the supplies that I have before buying more and more stuff.
Therefore, if you would like to help me start the new year with my resolution, you could pick me and then it’s a win-win 🙂
My resolution is to make cards ahead of time so I am not making birthday cards, etc. at the last minute. I would love to be able to make about 10 cards a week. I also would like to take a sewing class.
To document more of the everday happenings, not just birthdays, holidays, etc.
My craft resolution is to make it on a design team and have more cards ready on time!
Oh my! I have several, but one is to make cards to have on hand.
I have several goals and these sort of tie together.
First, is to organize. Review what I have. Things I don’t or will never use, donate to a school. Put things in their place so that I do know where I can reach for say that die, stamp or paper! i made a start in 2011, but I need to complete and maintain in 2012.
Second, use what I have once I can find it, I can use it. Of course PTI is an exception, because each release brings something I must have.
Third, particapte in more challenges
I need to use the stuff I have, and stop buying stuff I really don’t need! 😉
My resolution this year is to schedule craft time every day. I have been interested in mixed media and hope to use my stamps and dies to create a daily art journal. My goal is to use every stamp in my collection this year.
My craft resolution tis year is to scrapbook at least 2 layouts per month! I have a lot of catching up to do, plus I started Project Life!
My resolution is to get all my cards made ahead of time, BEFORE I need them! Especially my Christmas cards!
Wish me luck! Corrine Ann
My goal is to get my craft room organized! I am in the process of going thru everything and purging!! My other goal is to send out more cards. I make alot of cards and forget to send them!! Thanks for the chance!!
My craft resolution is to HAVE FUN! If I don’t have fun, it shows.
My crafting resolution for the year is to use all the crafting stuff I got for and around Christmas (a die cutting machine, some punches and a light table). I also need to use the older stuff I have that I haven’t crafted enough with.
My craft resolution for 2012 is to try and submit a project each Monday for Make It Monday and to finish up a few scrapbooking projects I have hidden away.(Out of sight, I can do other things–buy new stamps)
My craft resolution is to new things…especially things that are out of my comfort zone. Use up more of my paper stash, and to play with my stamps daily!
I would like to be more organized and have extra cards on hand when I need them and to use up some of my stash!!
Beautiful projects!!! My craft resolution is to start using my unused stamps, dies, embossing folders, ribbons, etc. Also be more productive too. It usually takes me to long to make a card. Thanks for the chance to win.
My resolution is to get more crafting done. I want to have a lot to show for 2012, unlike 2011. My goal is to work at card making, scrapping or quilting at least three times a week.

I would like to spend a day a week creating cards so I have an available supply when the need arises. I would also like to get my pictures under control!
I have resolved to clean out my crafting cupboard, of course to make room for new stuff! 🙂 But seriously, I am thinking of teaching a class on cardmaking to some middle school and high school students, so my resolution is to work diligently on making two accessible cards a month for that endeavor. It will be the most fun lesson planning I have ever done. 🙂
My New Year resolution is to use those “never inked” stamps and to organize my supplies. I am constantly buying crafts that I already own :o)
The January release is very exciting and the gorgeous projects by the DT are so inspiring. Thank you so very much for the chance to win this amazing prize package, PTI!
Yes. My craft resolution is to FOCUS. I have lots of stuff I have never used, technigues I have yet to try, you know how it goes. The www offers so many wonderful ideas and inspirations, it can be overwhelming, so I want to focus on one technique or one stamp at a time and remember this is supposed to be FUN!
I’ve spent the better part of 2011 focusing on health and getting back in shape. Crafting took a bit of a break in my list of things to do. 2012 crafting is a big resolution of mine. Determined to do at least one page/card per month :). Determined to succeed!!!!
As a craft hoarder, I resolve to use everything I have in my stash. I love them all and bought them for a reason. Now I’m not going to be afraid to use it all and share!
Cheers~
Q!
Reorganize my stamping area is always at the top of the list, but other than buying new stamp sets and dies, I am going to try and use all of my other supplies (and I’ve got a lot!) before getting anything new. Purge and repurpose is my New Year’s theme.
My resolution? To finish some of the many projects I have on the go!
No formal resolution, just a desire to spend more time in my craft room actually crafting. It would be nice to make lots of cards and have a supply of them ready, so I am not making something quickly at the last minute.
My resolution was to use what I have and resist ordering so many new things–after I ordered new stamp sets and dies and paper in December. Then I ordered 3 stamp sets in January. With this release, I am afraid I’ll have to try again in 2013…and enjoy every second of giving in so early.
I just want to create more this year. I’ve started Project Life and am also on a Creative Team so they both will help keep me on track with my goal.
My resolution is to clean up my craft area & create!! I want to create cards (my first love), create a smashbook of sorts and also try for a project life album. I just got a new camera so part of my resolution is to take more pictures & get crafty with them!
My craft goal this year is to improve my coloring skills and to create a larger stash of cards for myself. I think I want to leave off the sentiments so that I can have more options when choosing from my stash and then stamp the sentiments as needed. And finally, I want to get some scrapbook projects completed.
My crafty goal is to make time to craft. I have a six month old daughter and I hope she will settle into a nap routine sonner rather than later, to give me some time to myself. I have planned out so many cards in my head but haven’t had much time to craft lately 🙁
My resolution is to pare down my craft supply and keep only the things I know I will use.
I made just a few cards last year because I wanted to focus more on tutorials and learning. I hope I can apply what I have learned this year and send out more cards. I have been told by my family that they are happy when they receive one of my card’s. I would also like to organize my craft supplies for easier access. I am in awe of these absolutely stunning stamps that are being released. Thanks for the opportunity!!!!
my craft resolution is to start scrapbooking, also continue making cards.
I need to set aside more time to “play” and use some items that sit and collect dust. Too often I create projects on a deadline and go to my old standbys!
My craft resolution is to get caught up on my daughters scrapbook. She is 16 months old now and I only have a few pages finished. Here’s to a productive year.
my resolution is to start scrapbooking, also conitue making cards.
My resolution is to purge and organize. I have too much stuff that I will never use and would like to downsize my stash with items I WILL see and use.
My New Years crafting resolution is to make time each month to craft. I’m a;ways telling myself that I want to do this or that but it never happens. To make it happen, 3 friends of mine have scheduled two days out of each month to get together to craft and learn new crafting skills. We have even created a blog to post what we are doing and how everyone else can join in on our crafting fun. I’m expecting a really good year!
My resolution didn’t last that long. I had resolved to try and make more use of what I already have, but that was before I saw some of the January sets, including ‘Simply Jane’. I’m such an Austen fan that I just can’t resist it. Oh well, there’s always next year 🙂
My resolution is to make room for new supplies. Now I can either use them myself, gift them to my daughter or both.
Plan to incorporate more of my patterned papers in my cardmaking. Also to get a stash made in advance vs. always rushing around to get an appropriate card made for the occasion. Unfortunately I can’t seem to keep up with sympathy cards lately. PTI started off the New Year with a bang with this release!
My craft resolution is to use stamps that I already own but haven’t used yet on a project. My goal is to make one card a week with one of these “new” stamps.
I just completed my resolution yesterday: to clean my craft room. My goal is to keep it clean at all times. Also I’ll try to make a scrapbook for my daughter since she has been waiting for the past 16 years for one.
My crafty resolution is to send out more of the cards that I make each year! I want to get better at sending out thank you’s to people who bless me, sympathy for people who just need a kind word in a hard situation, and birthdays too! I am good about email and such, but horrible about actually sending anything. I want to be so much better about that…I want people I love to know that I appreciate them, and think about them.
Definitely need to start keeping my craft room tidy. I’m ashamed of it at the moment lol.
I resolve to DO MORE!!!!!
No. I don’t, but I think going through and organizing and purging would be a good plan!
My crafting resolution is to try to use more of my stamp sets more creatively. I want to stretch myself creatively, develop more skills, figure out if some of my older sets still work for my developing style. Some things I bought 5 years ago really aren’t me. Those things need to go away so that I don’t get buried in stuff but have room to be creative, both physically and mentally.
My craft resolution is to organize all my supplies so its easier to quickly find all the items I need for a project.
I have just reorganized my crafty space for the millionth time. Now, I want to keep it that way, so that I can craft more each day.
Organization is at the top of my list this year. I’m off to a good atart but I need to keep the momentum going. Second, I just want to spend more time working on cards, finishing them and actually getting them in the mail. A cardmaker who is always running low on cards to send, how sad!
I resolve to use more of the things I have now before buying new. However that is hard to do when I see all the lovely cards that you ladies make because then I want to buy the dies and the stamps and the paper and all that goes along with each card. But then again, I am not very good at keeping resolutions! Love the inspiration I get from all of you. Thank you for sharing.
I am going to use more of what I have. I want to grab one random thing from my stash and build cards around that item.
My resolution is to get all my cards made BEFORE I need them! Especially my Christmas cards! Wish me luck!
Corrine Ann
My craft resolution is make time to craft more!. I have resolved to do a card-a-day challenge for 30 days at least once this year and to enter at least one design challenge per month!
My craft resolution is to make scheduled time to stamp each week as well as ink up all the stamps that I have bought and haven’t even used once yet. Also to stockpile some cards to have on hand. So many goodies, so little time.
Craft more!!! =)
My goal is to spend at least 3 hours in my craft room each week. And to have Christmas cards ready for next year!!
My craft resolution is to reorganize my craftroom. And to finish a scrapbook from our 2006 (!) vacation :-).
My craft resolution is to really try to use what I have instead of purchasing new supplies. I know that sounds like something that we always say, but I am stressing the “really”… Without a scrapbook store nearby, I think this year it’ll be easier to do.
My resolution is to stop being a hoarder of my supplies!! I need to use what I am spending my money on.
Thanks
Takisha
My craft resolution is to use stuff I’ve been hoarding for years … Or just get rid of it. Also, I am seriously considering getting rid of some rubber stamps. After 20 years of doing this, I have a great collection, used and loved, and ignored now because of PTI.
Any of my fellow scrapbookers will tell you that I am a paper addict, keeping that in mind, my resolution is to use up what I have before I buy more. Do I think I can keep it? Not after this week and all the CHA sneak peeks. Yikes. I will make a different crafty resolution next year.
I am probably not unique in my craft resolution. My goal is to stop hoarding my supplies & start using them. I procrastinate too much about what to do instead of doing it.My head is full of ideas which don’t always make it to paper! Maybe winning would be a great jump-start!
My resolution is to use the products I have …. no hoarding! Goodness, I’m running out of space!
As a wife and a mommy of 4 year old twins, I typically place myself last. So, I’d like some more “me” time that would involve making some cards, not for a deadline (the birthday party the next day), but just time to create!
My crafty resolution is to get organized, weed out the items I don’t want anymore, and USE the items I’m keeping
I’ll be organizing my new craft space, and hopefully get inspired to make more cards this year.
Mine are more goals than resolutions. Resolutions are here today, gone tomorrow:) I want to play more with my stamps and dies this year rather than just make cards for certain occasions. I also hope to do more challenges this year!
My resolution is to mail more of my handmade cards to my friends and family. I know how much it means to me when I get something fun in the mail and I want to make my loved ones feel that way more often.
my resolution is to get published in a paper (not digital) magazine or book!
My resolution is just to craft more. I never make the time to play with all of my fabulous supplies. After putting away a few more fun things I received for Christmas I realized it was time to use them! My plan is to make 6 identical cards at a shot. Use one for myself and package up the 5 others to have on hand for gift giving. I should be able to make a dent in my supplies and feel good about the investment in my tools by doing this. I’m on a roll so far!
To actually put my crafting out there more. Like updating my blog, create an Etsy store, and having the courage to submit my cards to be published. I want to take a leap of faith in my craft and stop being my worst critic. New Motto: Just Create, Let Go, and Have Fun.
My craft resolution for the year is to go through all my craft supplies and purge the things I won’t use.
My craft resolution is to “catch up”! I have almost completely transitioned from a scrapbooker to a card maker now, but I hate to leave projects uncompleted. I’m so far behind on scrapbooking both books in progress and digital, and need to slow down and get caught up! Hope it is a resolution I can obtain in 2012. Hugs
Thanks for a chance to win.
My resolution is to use the products I have …. no hoarding! Goodness, I’m running out of space!
This year I’m going to quit hoarding my wonderful embellishments! I also want have more cards made ahead of time, instead of staying up the night before for all hours, to get some done!
My paper crafting “resolution” this year is make a more concerted effort to clean my space between projects. I think it will save some serious money as I will stop purchasing a second time things I have “lost.”
I have a couple of crafty resolutions for 2012. One is to reorganize my craft space and try to do a better job of keeping it tidy!!! The second is to submit more cards for magazine publication calls! Can’t get published if you don’t submit, right?!?! Thanks for the chance to win!
My resolution is to get more photos printed and put in books… even if it’s simple. And to spend more time creating instead of looking at other creations online!
Love Papertrey Products!!
My resolution would be to reorganize my craft space and make it more functional. I would love to start a blog and possibly have something published:-). My biggest problem is all the clutter I make while crafting, I need to clean as I go!
My resolution this year is to purge, organize and buy only those items I will actually use. Use it all is my motto this year.
My resolution is to go through my supplies and get rid of the items I don’t use and then to actually scrapbook my daughter’s photos!
My resolution is to find more time to spend creating and making all kinds of projects using Papertrey products and paper! I am totally inspired by all of the designers work and follow each of their blogs on a weekly basis. Thanks for all the great work and the wonderful products!
My resolution is to go through my stamp inventory, get rid the ones I don’t want or use anymore. Out with the old and in with the new!
My resolution is to keep my craft area free of cluter. I organized it AGAIN (lol) a few weeks ago, but it’s hard to be creative when the table is used to drop every thing on. It’s hard to feel creative when it take precious time to clear a spot to work. Reapeat after me: put that where it belongs Put that where it belongs put that where it belongs!
My resolution is to scrapbook photos more and Create more!
Love Papertrey’s inspiration and products!
My resolution would have to be to quit hoarding. My daughter refers to my craft room as a store! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
My craft resolution is try and keep up with all of my family and friends with a card. Second to try and use sets I’ve neglected, third – clean my stamp area so it’s ready to being again.
My husband and I have a resolution is to find solutions for our problem areas in our home. First up to my pleasure is my craft room! Lots of organizing, sorting, cataloging, and color coding going on currently. It will help with my personal resolution to craft more this year. 🙂
My need/resolution is to get organized with my supplies. This could be very helpful to me and also others will benefit from the effort! Thanks for the chance.
My goal is to get my craft business “CreativeJeaux” off the ground!! DBA filed, blog started (ish)and facebook fan page done.. now I just need to craft! lol
To not get behind on my scrapbooking anymore. My other resolution was to de-clutter my supplies, and I’m happy to say that’s done!
My resolution for 2012 would be to get 2 scrap book pages done every month of the year. Thanks for the chance at winning.
Of course it is soooo hard when so many new things come out. My resolution is to use what I have before I buy more…..I tend to buy and not use it!
Stop, Stop, Stop
I would like to finish the purging and organizing that I started in October. I have been able to give things I no longer use to several groups that do crafting, and some to charity. My biggest project is to purge through my huge supply of magazines. I have cut back at least 90% on what I purchase, now I just need to decide what I really want to keep.
I plan to enter more challenges and also to purge my supplies – have way too much “stuff” that isn’t used and probably won’t ever be.
My resolution or goal this year is to print my pictures from the past years (starting with last year) and put them into a page protectors/albums. I really want to get them off the computer and into albums – then my family and I can enjoy them!
My craft resolutions are the following: to use more of the gorgeous items in my stash and to make more items that are specific to the recipient. What is the point in having all the different papers, ribbons, and stamps if I don’t personalize more things?
I have 2; one is to create at least a layout a week to catch up on my sadly neglected scrapbooks, and the other is to randomly choose one stamp set a week, and use only that set to create a handful of cards… I want to make sure I am using all of my sets to their full potential!
I really want to finish scrapbooking last years vacation. Also, start making cards on a regular basis. It’s not that I don’t have the time….I’m retired for more than a year now. You’d think retirement would have made it easier. I’ve been very undisciplined about everything. I guess that’s part of retirement—do what you feel like when you feel like it 🙂
My resolution is to reorganize my craft area and challenge myself with new techniques more often. Thanks for a beautiful release and the chance to win.
I need to finish the projects I started before Christmas and actually use more of the wonderful Papertry items I have purchased!
My resolution is to take one of our spare bedrooms and make it my craft room. To finally be able to see all of the wonderful products I have would be fabulous!!!
This year I’m going to use (create) more than I buy! Or at least use most of what I purchase…yeah, that’s more realistic. 🙂
I want to work on Christmas cards throughout the year, completing at least 3-5 per month, and maybe a few tags too. I said the same thing last year and didn’t do a great job keeping up, so I’ll try again! 🙂
My resolution is to send more thinking of you cards to my friends and family!!
LOL, it was going to be not to buy so much patterned paper, but I can’t help it!! How about stay organized!! Everything in it’s place 🙂 I have a new studio at our new house and can’t wait for the new cupboards and counters…then I’ll be organized for good!! 😉
I want to get more organized (I have actually started). I am wanting to go through and keep what I know and will use and then purge the things that I know I won’t be using.
This year I want to make a birthday card for everyone in my family. This includes all of my brothers and sisters as well as grandparents. I usually make one for my parents and inlaws but I don’t make time to make a card for my siblings and siblings in law.
I want to create layouts this year using stamps and mists on basic cardstock. I have not had time nor the right stamps to proceed but at least I have this goal. This should be a key motivator this year for me to finish the album I am working on. Thanks so much.
I will do more mass producing and not spend so much time trying to come up with an original layout for each card.
My craft resolution is to re-do my girls baby books, they were done over 20 years ago before scrapbooking was “scrapbooking”.
I guess I would have to say that I need to start using my PTI stamps and dies and paper that I have purchased, catagorized, organized and arranged. They look pretty in their drawers and shelves I have them in now, but I need to get them inky, cut, and broke in as well.
gettin’ inky…
I was able to buy a sewing machine with some Christmas money and plan to add sewing to my cardmaking. I also want to try new techniques I’ve been filing away for years.
To regain my mojo and creat some beautiful pieces using your wonderful stamps 😉 Simples!
xoxo Sioux
Mine was to be published, and it already happened! So fun!
One of my resolutions is to actually get crafty! It’s been months since I’ve inked up a stamp and I have a list of projects I want to do. I wanna get out of this creative rut. There was so much inspiration from Nichole & the DT showcasing this release that it just might be the push I needed. I am in love with the new sets and dies.
My resolution is to get published. I spend so much time admiring all the gorgeous projects in crafting magazines and on blogs; it would mean the world to me to be able to get my name out there. My secondary resolution is to donate more cards; my first project is sending in Valentine’s cards for the St. Jude’s kids.
After getting a new shelving unit for my craft room, which necessitated a complete “hoeing out” of supplies, I have a perpetual resolution: only buy what I’m sure I’ll use and make better use of what I have.
No craft resolutions for me… That would take the fun out of it 🙂
My craft resolution is to not spend too much on craft items (except for PTI 🙂 ) and use what I have. PTI doesn’t overwhelm my craft space, but the other items I have collected throughout the years do. I love how compact PTI stamp sets are!
The goal I have in mind (though I’m already FAR behind!) is to get ahead of the game and not do projects last minute — maybe the key to accomplishing that is to be better organized, so that’s a ‘dual resolution’ for me in 2012!!!
My resolution is to craft more! I spend a lot of time buying but not using what I’ve bought. 🙂
My craft resolution is to use my supplies with my four teenage daughters to see how we can bless others with cards, tags, and encouraging words. Our plan is to put aside two evenings a month and craft with a purpose. We’ve been stamping just over a year and are loving it!
My resolution is to actually craft MORE. I spend a lot of time buying, hoarding, thinking about and planning a lot of craft projects…this year…I want to do less of all of that and more of the actual Doing!!
My craft resolution this year would have to be organizing my little stamping area. I need to get rid of stamps, old ink pads, markers, etc.
I have so much stuff I don’t use because I forget that it’s there.
I also need to stop hoarding embellishments and start using them on my cards. And making cards to send out just because…..
Make a date to clean up my craft room ! Time for the old to get donated to someone who will use it and time for me to make time for myself to craft regularily !
For me my craft resolution would be to take a couple of classes to learn new techniques. I have been in a mojoless period for a couple of months and really miss getting inky. Its time to start getting create again.
My crafty resolution is to follow my heart and my passions more in my crafting instead of being caught up in trends and shiny new things.
I sometimes lack focus and then my projects ends up looking like a miss-mash of other peoples.
My crafty resolution is to make more cards and actually send them to people. Lesley
To make enough cards to be able to have a card on hand when I need to send one and to go through my craft supplies and give what I don’t use to someone who could use it. Hugs, Nellie.
I do not have a resolution at all! I just want to enjoy making cards and scrapbook pages!
Be more productive in my card making and scrapping, and to re-claim my craft room; I’ve already almost completed the latter (yipeee). Cleared everything out, repainted entire space, purchased a gorgeous new (old) storage piece and in process of *editing* all items returning to the room. Then I can move on to bringing the first part to fruition.
I want to use stamps that have never been used before… and believe me I have alot of them.. which should keep me busy this year! Sorry… some of PTI!
Aahhh, that’s a big question for me. I have a couple and one is to get the blog I’m working on finalized and up and running. The 2nd thing I need to do is to two fold. First I need to take the leap and post pictures of my work. That means from the gallery here to on a blog to other sites. I always think that my cards/crafts aren’t up to the standard of all the ones I see. Also, I’m afraid if I scrap lift an idea that I shouldn’t post it because it was someone else’s ideas. But, no matter my mental road blocks, I’m going to post pictures of my work. The 2nd part to that is to submit my work to blog’s/websites/magazines. Just submit, submit, submit. The more I do, the better I’ll get. Everyone loves what I give to people so I don’t know why I have such a fear so I need to over come that fear by taking the plunge. Oh, and I have to find a better way to organize my dies and non-PTI stamps. It’s driving me crazy!!!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
My stamping resolution is to use every single stamp set that I own. I have a few that I have bought and never even used! Shame on me! I always seem to reach for the new ones when I have time to create. This year I will mix new with old!
I intend to make more cars and send them to people this year. Lesley
I do not have a specific goal for the new year. I really just want to spend time doing what I love to do
Most definitely!! I want to get back into scrapbooking. I really put it on the back burner when I discovered cards :), but so many of the stamps would be FABulous in layouts! I really have no excuse not to do both 🙂
My resolution is twofold. First, I must finally organize my craftroom so that I can actually craft and not just “collect.” And second, I resolve to actually craft something at least weekly, if not daily!
I’m starting out by saying that I have already broken my craft resolution! It is always to use the product that I already have instead of buying new. The problem is the great new releases that come like this one! Perhaps I need to make a new resolution! LOL!
Oh, Yes…..I plan to work on catching up on my scrapbooks…..then spend some “fun time” making and sending cards to family & friends.
My resolution is to craft a little every day, use more of the stuff that I have (not just stash it away for a special occasion…) and scrapbook a lot more! Oh, and it would be nice to get my craft area organised, tidy and then keep it that way! 🙂
Beautiful release!!
I have two: blog hop less and scrap more AND try to use what I have, I ususally buy a lot and don’t use. 🙁
Oh, sell my cards it would be a plus! 🙂
(don’t think the first post entered so I’m doing it again. I hope this doesn’t disqualify me) Aahhh, that’s a big question for me. I have a couple and one is to get the blog I’m working on finalized and up and running. The 2nd thing I need to do is to two fold. First I need to take the leap and post pictures of my work.

Oh, and I have to find a better way to organize my dies and non-PTI stamps. It’s driving me crazy!!!! Thanks for the chance to win!
My resolution is to organize my craft room so I can crafy smarter.
My resolution is to clean and organize my craft room and to craft more.
I want to ‘craft’ more!! I hope to participate in a craft show.
I am trying to mail at least one card every week. I’m also spending time every day in my craft room. It has really helped to keep the creative process rolling, and it’s fun!
I don’t really have a craft resolution this year…but crafts can be used to fulfil some of my other resolutions. I want to focus more on the things that are important to me. I want a closer walk with God and I want to strengthen my family ties and spend more time with my friends. I also wanted to do more volunteer work. I think card making (and sending those cards out) will work with these resolutions. Who doesn’t like to get a card in the mail saying that someone is thinking of them. Creating littile gifts and packaging them can bring a smile to anyone’s face. Plus sending cards to the troops and the sick in the church would be a help in my volunteer resolution.
I have a Phd in crafts. Projects half done!!!!! My resolution is to try to complete more projects. I have no intention of stop buying stuff (that is too cruel) but I should finish my crafts!!!

My resolution is to make more cards for more people and actually finish them in time for the occasion! 😛
I want to get more organized, I want everything within reach without moving something to get to something else. I want to not buy 12 x 12 DP paper…takes up way too much space, and I have to use up what I already have.
I have committed to buying products (like stamp sets and dies) instead of replicating the look myself. It’s quicker and easier and the quality and versatility of Papertrey stamps makes it a great investment.
USE my supplies! Sometimes I get so caught up in buying new things I forgot to use the ones I have. I’d like to make use of all I already have.
My resolution is to use at least one stamp I buy a month and create something new
I have three crafting resolutions…
1) use my lovely PTI stamps in my scrapbooks. I’ve never really combined stamping and scrapbooking.
2) create cards ahead of time so I’m not scrambling at the last minute.
3) reduce my crafting budget so I use what I have. (this does not apply to PTI though!)
My New Years Resolution is to TRY not to buy patterned paper. I have tons of it and really should be trying to use it.
I don’t think I have one. Maybe I should, but I don’t. I’ll have to read through some of the others to see if I need to adopt one!
I am always so inspired by each new release but in ‘cleaning/organizing’ my craft room I am resolved to use some of the ‘old’ goodies in new ways and incorporate them into projects with the new stuff I get. Thanks for all the inspiration and great projects you put our there each month.
My craft resolution is to be prepared ahead of time! Very often I feel rushed to get a birthday card done and when I’m finished I feel like it’s not my best. I want to have cards done ahead of time, so that I can be creative and crafty, without the clock ticking. 🙂
My resolution is to finally finish my kids’ scrapbooks – it’s been years!
catch up on my scrapbooking – i don’t spend much time on it and am now a full year and 1/2 behind!
SERIOUS computer slowness today, can’t find my post and I think it didn’t go thru!!! Sorry if this is the 2nd one!!!(but honestly, searched through over 600 of them and it’s not there!)
Anyway, studio organization is at the top of the list, followed by getting more creative (instead of just CASING – but boy that will be hard!) and getting those cards into our little Gallery for SALE! Starting with Valentines now!
I really don’t have a craft resolution; I don’t make resolutions. But, that being said,I do try and start off the new year on a positive note by keeping my craft room clean:)

My resolution has been to re-organize my space. Just about done !! YAY !! And to actually use my stuff; tired of hoarding items cause they are so cute or pretty. Time to let others enjoy my stuff as well !
I wouldn’t say I have a resolution but I do have a goal. I need to organize and purge my supplies. I also need to put things back in the proper place when I finish with a project. Great January Release….now to make room for more…..lol
I aim to make more cards and better my sewing skills. Making actual clothing for my niece and nephews as well as items for my home. Wonderful new images and dies this release.
My resolution is to reorganise my crafting space after moving into our house and do a lot more mini albums like Heather’s enveloppe – albums and all sort of those things. Love all the ideas. And I really need to restock cards that are ready to send. Well, we will see 🙂
I am determined to organize my craft supplies this year. I have a hard time finding things when I’m in the middle of a project and I always make such a mess that I don’t accomplish much.
I want to get more comfortable using distress inks and copics. I also want to take some old techniques that I learned when I first started to stamp and make them new again.
I have a very simple new year’s craft resolution: less scrap-shopping and more scrap-booking.
Hello! My craft resolution is to buy less and use what I have. I need to pull out the sets I have and experiment with them more. Obviously, with all the goodies being released tonight, along with next month’s anniversary, I will start working on this in March! haha!
My resolution(s) are to keep up on scrapbooking, catch up on scrapbooking and to try to use what I have.
Trying to finish off all of the mini albums about my son that I have started before baby number 2 comes around…
I have this simple one: less scrap-shopping but more scrap-booking.
Trying to finish off all of the mini albums about my son that I have started before baby number 2 comes around.
My resolution is to buy less and use more. I have many stamps that have not seen ink. And that is simply a crime. I have ink, therefore I MUST INK THEM UP!

My resolution is to use the products I’ve bought in the past year that haven’t even been opened yet. In addition to this, I want to get ahead of the cards I need instead of always making them in the 11th hour. Be more planful.
my stamp room is mass chaos and I have turned into a Papertrey Hoarder. I need to re organize, clean and share the things that I am not using to make room for the next release. baha!
I want to actually USE all the fabulous supplies I can’t resist buying!
My resolution is ‘Time’.
I spend so much time at work, then doing chores at home that I have very little time for myself and so very little time to craft.
I plan to re-organize my life so every week there will be some ‘me’ time.

Mine is to just enjoy the process, use a lot of what I have on hand and try new things. Think outside the box!
I have lots of stuff not being used and I plan to do projects with the kids after school who don’t have someone at home or in the neighborhood. I started this last year and want to do it more.
I’ve resolved to use the things I have and to give away or get rid of things that I will not use. I want to get rid of the mental clutter that having clutter in my workspace creates! One of the nice things that I notice is that my PTI stamps and supplies are on the “much used” list 🙂
Happy 2012!
Yes, I’m streamlining my supplies, getting back to basics that I can truely be creative with and trying to get some older unscrapped photos onto pages!
I’m going to start using my supplies instead of just hoarding them. This month’s release is just mouth watering good.
I have a few crafty resolutions! I want to be published a lot more this year – mostly using PTI of course! Also want to update my blog a lot more this year – post my work more frequently! The main one though is to craft a *lot* more than I did last year. What with one thing and another I didn’t create anywhere near enough and that has to change this year!!
My resolution is to craft more this year and to give my creations to friends and not just sit on my desk 🙂
I have two craft resolutions. First is to get my crafting area better organized; and, second take the time to make my grandson more special cards.
my resolution is to use the beautiful PTI products that I buy!
My top goal is to actually MAIL most of my cards I make! I am sooo bad about not mailing out that I feel so terrible! And also, to get published as lots have said! 😀
yes…USE IT UP!
Craft more, blog more!!
My “craft” resolution is to get in my craft room more often. The design team is such an inspiration. I need to take that inspiration and go with it. I enjoy making cards and I need to spread that joy by giving my creations to others. What a great way for both of us to be happy. 🙂
My resolution is to get published in a card magazine this year! Hope it happens!
My resolution is to give myself permission to experiment more and let my personal style develop into something that’s uniquely me.
My craft resolutions are to get my Christmas cards made before December and to keep submitting my work for publication. I also want to do better at using up before buying more of things like paper and stamps.
I lost my post, so hope this isn’t a repeat. Anyway, I am waaaay behind on my scrapbooking, since I discoved your site and fell in love with card making. I will catch up this yr, but incorporate my stamping in my albums. You have the best site for me..ideas are fab! thanks so much!
My craft resolution is to get published in a card magazine this year! Hope it happens!
Give away/purge items I cannot use and get my craft room more organized!
My crafting resolution this year is to be more consistent in both scrap booking and card making.
To get more organized, donate extra supplies that I have and actually use some of the pretty little trinkets that I have but think I can’t part with. It would also be nice to have some extra cards made up ahead of time.
I would love to use more of my scraps so they don’t just go to waste. Also I would love to be more organized and maybe even get a crafting corner of my own! 🙂
I made two craft resolutions this year. First and foremost, to get back to scrapbooking our everyday life, but to make it simpler so that it’s doable. And second, to participate in as many PTI challenges & contests so that I can win a stamp set! Wish me luck!
I want to try several new techniques that I haven’t done before. (i.e., making my own patterned paper, using marker to color etc…) I have been stuck in the same rut for a while and I must break out!
I need to learn to spend more time looking at the stamps I have and thinking about different ways to use them. I want to make at least 1 card every day.
My CRAFT RESOLUTION is to spend less time on the computer browsing, stalking, pinning, and shopping AND more time CREATING!! When I do spend time creating I am so happy….I need to do more of that!
It would have to be to reorganize …… everything in my cupboard is a in a mess!! I need to dispose of the old things that are just not fun to use anymore, then I can fit in more of what I really want to play with!!
I would like to reorganize my crafting space and to sell what I am not using and donate some to a local high school that has scrapbooking enrichment noncredit classes. I would also like to make a commitment to making something new with what I have at least once a week.
My craft resolution is to maximize the stash I have for crafting. Use the ones I already have and ensure all new ones are used well in projects.
I don’t do resolutions, but I am doing Project Life this year. I always thought it wasn’t for me, since I don’t have children. Then I decided that I still had a life, and that qualifies me for Project Life!
My resolution is “spend less create more” however I think I’ll start in February as this month’s release is too hard to pass up!!!lol!
Yes! This year I plan to particiapte more in Make It Mondays and Blog Hops! I also plan to update my blog more, and maybe get enough courage to submit my cards for publication!
I really need to purge some items in my craft room and give to needy crafters, as well as use what I have and love. I seem to be more of a “collector” thank crafter sometimes!! Thanks so much for the chance to win!! 🙂
To try new techniques and use all/most of the products I buy.
I had never linked to a card challenge, so my resolution for the new year was to do the Make It Monday Challenge each week and put it on my blog and link it. So far, I’m 2 for 2 even though my Mom has been in the hospital.
My resolution is to make more use of all the “stuff” I already have!
No, I don’t make resolutions. I do know, however, that I want to spend more time experimenting with different mediums.
I want to start scrapbooking. I have tons of supplies but only manage to make cards. Another one is to make more cards throughout the year so that when the craft shows start, I won’t have to pull any all-nighters to get enough stuff to sell!
I don’t really make new year resolutions but my ongoing craft goal is to use up my stash (particularly patterned paper & buttons) before buying more stuff. If only everyone didn’t keep putting out more pretty things!
It’s the same one as last year:) To use up what I have and to make more time for crafting. Both easier said than done.
I am on a 3D kick……boxes, packaging, gifty things! I want to create a lot more of them through the coming year for all my friends and family. So much fun!
My crafty goal is to make birthday cards for all of my immediate family members this year. In fact, I need to make the first three today!
To enjoy the process, don’t get overwhelmed with a project and just have fun!
I have so many, but mainly I would like to start scrapbooking. I have so many supplies but only manage to make cards. Also I want to clean out my stash and donate some to a women’s shelter. I have so much, esp. designer paper, I get overwhelmed when I try to design something.
My resolution is to get my craft room more organized! What a lofty goal! ha!
Thanks for all the inspiration!
Show all my stamps some love 🙂 in other words, the ones that haven’t seen ink in a while – get them out and use them. And if I’m not using them I want to clear them out to make way for the new ones I’m purchasing today! I further resolve to get more cardmaking AND scrapbooking done throughout 2012.
Recently moved, still trying to get settledin the new space, so definitely need to keep organizing!
I want to focus on creating more heartfelt, just because, handmade gifts to give throughout the year. I’m always creating for birthdays or holidays, but I’d like to have some fun creating to simply make someone smile and know they’re appreciated at unexpected times. It’s a great way to slow down and be mindful of the amazing people in my life.
I just finished a scrapbook for my granddaughter that I had been working on for over a year – so my scrap resolution is to scrapbook more. I already send off hundreds of cards to family and friends each year.
I have so many, but mainly I would like to start scrapbooking. I have so many supplies but only manage to make cards. Also I want to clean out my stash and donate some to a women’s shelter. I have so much, esp. designer paper, I get overwhelmed when I try to design something.
I really want to finish several of my unfinished projects and finish all of the online classes I’ve taken through the years. And I want to finish cleaning out all of my old craft stuff that needs a new home.
I plan to start projects earlier – no procrastinating!!!
Well mostly it is to start doing more, and I’d like to start making felt flowers & such.
My resolution or goal is to make more things in advance of needing them instead of waiting until the last minute. I also want to make a few holiday things throughout the year to be prepared for Christmas craft fairs. I did one in December and it was very successful but I didn’t have a lot to sell.
Hello, my name is Sally and I’m a crafting hoarder! I resolve to “just use it”. There will always be more wonderful things to purchase and EVERYONE needs to get real mail in their mailbox, so I want to make more cards and send them out.
I would love to craft every day, but it’s more realistic for me to plan on 1-2 times per week. I think I am going to schedule craft time on my calendar/ to-do list so it actually happens! And I want to finish up the recent organizing that I have been doing- I am loving having most of my things right at hand so I can concentrate on crafting, not searching!
definately use up my stash of patterned paper!
YES!!! I do!!! I want to create MORE!!! get messy – get all those supplies out that I only use once in a blue moon and get them out often!!! TO make from the heart handmade gifts for all the special people in my life!
I’m going to do my best not to buy any patterned paper until I get my stash down…..
My resolution this year is to have things made way in advance of needing them instead of waiting until the last minute. I would like to start preparing now also for holiday craft fairs.
I have so many, but mainly I would like to start scrapbooking. I have so many supplies but only manage to make cards. Also I want to clean out my stash and donate some to a women’s shelter. I have so much, esp. designer paper, I get overwhelmed when I try to design something.
To think harder about buying new stuff – do I really ‘need’ it? And to make what I do buy work harder for me. To put by some craft time each week, and to blog a little more frequently. But not sure these are resolutions, just stuff I kinda want to do – I guess it mostly comes down to being more organised.
My resolution is to have each months cards done 2 months in advance so I can take my time and don’t have to hurry. And that way if an unexpect has to be done, than I can get that done.ed card, like a sympathy card,
My resolution is to clean up as I go that way I don’t make too much of a creative mess!
My only resolution is to take lots of photos while spending memorable time with those that mean most to me.
I have two resolutions for 2012! The first one is to start a “Ladies Card Night” crop session once a month (for a little stress relief!!) and the second is to get more family scrapbooking pages done!! Great releases this month! Thanks for a chance to win!
I received a Big Shot for Christmas…so my resolution is to buy a lot of Papertrey dies!!!
My resolution is to use a different stamp set and make something out of it when I just want to stamp without a special occasion in mind. I will have a stash built up when I do need a card.
I need to work on scrapbooking more not just making cards. And keep my room more organized. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Right? = )
What a fabulous release– so much goodness!
My crafty resolution was to scrapbook more.
My resolution is to organize my craft space so when I do stamp I can enjoy my time even more.
After our basement flooded in May 2011, my craft space has been topsy turvy. I want to reclaim that space, get it organized and purge things I don’t need/use. I want to make that a happy space again. I know I can do it!
My resolution is to make at least one project every week, whether that be a scrapbook page, card, etc…
I would like to streamline my supplies and only buy the things I will truly use. Also, I need to just make stuff.. it’s too easy to get caught up in chain surfing, there are so many great blogs out there.
My resolution is to use stamps, paper, dies and etc. that I already have on hand. AND THEN buy more toys!! Sounds like a plan!
My card resolution is to get published!
My craft resolution is to get back to my stamping roots and spend more time using all the beautiful sets I have, rather than just thinking about using them more! 🙂
I have been more of a collector of supplies & they sit in boxes.. so this year my resolution is to attempt to organize my inks, markers, stamps, dies etc into a more useable and findable location and actually learn how to USE the products and become creative.
My crafty resolution is to create with enthusiasm. Somehow over the last year I stopped crafting for fun and started crafting because people expected birthday cards and Christmas cards. I want to get back to what originally drew me into crafting and that is to express my creativity!
Create each day for no less than 3 hours.
I have taken on the Project Life project. First week is successfully complete!
Yes! To use more of what I already have rather than buying new. Also to catch up on my scrapbooking.
my craft resolution is to use up my beautiful papers that I hoard. You know, the ones that are “too pretty” to use. Why buy them if I don’t use them, lol.
I would like to learn paper piecing sewing machine quilting. Before I start, I plan to clean and organize my craft area. I also want to start donating cards to churches and the hospital in my area.
Yes! To use more of what I already have rather than buying new. Also to catch up on scrapbooking.
My craft resolution is to purge the unused or extra items I have and give them to our church ministry that helps underprivileged children learn crafts and other skills to help enhance their life as well as lead them to Christ.
my new year’s crafty resolution is to craft more 🙂
To use the supplies I have and learn new techniques.
I really need to organize and clean up my craft area. It’s so bad I end up
Working at the kitchen tablw
I wonder what you have that could interest me, because I am a new crafter…
My craft resolution for 2012 is to get my craft blog “going” so I can share my love of craftiness with the world! I’m looking forward to participating in PTI’s Make It Mondays, Blog Hops and other challenges throughout the year! 🙂
Crafting goals include organizing so I can add my new die cut machine and supplies (finally!) to the mix of the creative process. Being on time with Birthday cards could be one, but I already missed out on that one!
My only resolution for crafting this year, is to try to be more organized. Sometimes I spend more time looking for something to add to a card, than making the card! To help with that, my husband is going to put some shelving up above my craft table, hopefully soon!
My craft resolution is to use what I have, start making Christmas cards now, and to actually send out the cards I make.
My crafty resolution is to try new techniques and also try to be more organised so I don’t have to make last minute rush cards!
My daughter is getting married in August so my goal is to make all of the invitations, favors and decorations.
My crafty resolution is to create a stockpile of cards so I don’t go and buy one, because of lack in planning.
My resolution is to actually make something… Not to worry about how it looks, but just enjoying the process, not the results…
No matter how tired I am, my hands love to keep busy!
My resolution is to give some of my older sets some much needed love!! Although so hard when seeing all this new craft goodness… What’s a girl to do ?
My craft resolution is to expand my online shop , purchase only what is strictly necessary in my craft world: PTI is on the top of the list. More organization and work on my time schedule to fit everthing smoothly on it.
One thing I will try to do better: keeping a clear space on my craft table. I get inspired, often online, then hurry to try out the idea, but there isn’t room to work. So frustrating!
My resolution is to actually make something.
Not to worry about the result, but to enjoy the process…
I’d love to post to my blog weekly, and submit for publication(and hopefully GET published!!)
My resolution is to actually make and send cards ahead of time! I’m doing well so far! And I did a big purge of old stuff when I went through a bunch of supplies and gave them to my sister-in-law. She was wanting to get into scrapbooking. Of course, I couldn’t get rid of any PTI stuff!
I would say to use up some of my stash . . and try not to collect as much as I use! I have some great things that I’ve been hoarding and I’m not sure what I’m saving them for so I’m going to start using up my stuff! That doesn’t mean I won’t still shop . . I’ll just try to use more than I buy this year! (I can always hope!)
My resolution is to just use my stamps i seem to be just collecting,I NEED to use them
Oh yes two in fact! Firstly to scrapbook more, well scrapbook at all actually;) And secondly to do more fabric related crafting -in other words learn how to sew properly! I love how my paper rafting is leading me to explore other crafts!
Kim
My craft resolution is to keep my craft room cleaner, so that I can create cards and layouts more efficiently, instead of searching under piles for what “I know was right there, a couple of minutes ago!” Of course, I’ve made this resolution before.
My goal is to send more cards this year. Also, I hope to fight my fear of scrap booking and jump in with both feet 🙂
My craft resolution is to actually DO something! I need to make time to do things I enjoy instead of simply concentrating on things I have to do. I can always find something else to do, but I enjoy stamping and I need to find ME TIME and actually do it. So I will. I have some lovely inspiration with this month’s release!
My craft resolution is to purge and reorganize! It’s a mess and needs some serious time to reorganize it.
My craft resolutions for the year 2012 are: to use NOT hoard all my beautiful patterned paper and to send out more of the cards I make with heartfelt handwritten notes as a better way of staying in touch than email.
Two resolutions…post more frequently and submit for publication. Sounds simple enough, huh? 🙂
I need to buy proper and matching storage and work pieces, so that my craft space is pretty and functional, instead of the hodge podge of storage items I have now.
My resolution is you just USE my stamps I seem to ber just collecting, I have a pretty nice and neat room now is the time to get in there and get inky
I have a couple! First, is to be more organized. I want to be able find the perfect stamp or sentiment quickly, when I need it. Also, to find more time to actually use all of my things. I am making progress!!
. My craft resolution is to use all my craft supplies in different types of crafts such as card making, scrapbooking, home decor, etc…
I don’t really make resolutions, but I’ve been trying to send out/give away more of my creations. And oh, I have to stop buying so much paper!! Lol 🙂
My resolution is to scrapbook my son’s life. He died at the age of 23, amost 6 years ago and I think I am ready.
My craft resolution is to purge and then to reorganize everything.
In addition to getting more organized (since I add to my stamp sets monthly after discovering PTI at the CHA show in July of 2010), my resolution for this year is to send more cards after I make them. It doesn’t help to spend time being creative and then to have the cards sit in a box!
Spend more time making cards, not just thinking about how to make the next one.
My goal is to scrap more of my husband and myself! Every page I do is about one of my boys!
Do MORE with what I have!
I really want to actually sit down everyday and work on my to do list 🙂
I have been doing good so far and now I keep it up!!!
My craft resolution is to use all my supplies in as many different typesbofncrafts as possible including card making, scrapbooking, gifts and home decor.
I’ve already started on my resolution…clean out my craft room of tools, paper, stamps, and all kinds of goodies that I’m realistically never going to use and sell it off, if possible…then work on making a concerted effort to USE WHAT I ALREADY HAVE (like so many others, I have tons of things I’ve bought and NEVER touched…YET!!) in order to determine what my favoriter “keepers” are, and what impulse purchases are no longer my thing and could also be sold…gotta keep from doing too much “hoarding”!
I resolution this year is to use all of my supplies that are in my bottom drawer!!!
My resolution is to get crafting again!!! I’ve been so busy with work and kids there is little time to do anything just for me. I miss the relaxing creative outlet cardmaking has been for me in the past. PTI always provides such great inspiration!!! thanks and happy new year!
I really have to keep up on my to do list 🙂
I am hoping to keep doing something, even if it is a small amount, everyday!!!
My resolution is to get back to me and my creative side. The past two years have been full of changes and some hard times and loss…I lost my spirit and need to reenergize myself. I am so happy when I create…so I must make the time for myself to find that creative happiness this year!! I am looking forward to using new supplies and trying to things…not just cards.
Thanks for the chance, and once again – amazing release!
Yes, 2 resolutions this year:
First, to make birthday cards for my co-workers. There are 48 of us, and I’ve gotten a good start: cards are done through February.
Second, to work on Christmas cards during the year so I will have enough to send to ALL my family. I am usually scrambling at the last minute to make ones for my immediate family. I’ve made this resolution before, and haven’t started yet this year, so we’ll have to see how this one goes!
My craft resolution is to use all my craft supplies in as many forms of crafting as possible such as card making, scrapbooking, gifts, and home decor.
I have 2 craft resolutions for myself this year. First is to definitely get more organized! That is the top priority. Second, I need to try and find more time to actually work on my crafts. I seem to be always running around without enough time to sit and make cards. I need to organize my time better.
To not wait until the last minute to do my projects… No more staying up until 2:00 am to get the treats done for the class !
This year I will send more cards, think of creative ways to use up my paper scraps, and learn to use copics!
Must use my paper and felt and ribbon scraps!
My resolution would be to use rather than hoard, realizing that if I keep supplies waiting for the perfect project, I’ll eventually forget they exist. Equally important would be to clean up my space regularly so that it doesn’t look like a craft explosion rather than a craft room. Thanks for another great month of releases, and for the chance to win!
I really did not make a resolution, but to answer this question, I would say that I want to make 52 Christmas cards this year…one each week. I’m already two weeks behind! I better get to crafting. Thanks for all the great products and to the design team for all the inspiration.
As much fun as it is to amass an incredible collection of unused supplies, this year I resolve to actually USE my stash! I’m a bit ashamed (but also a bit proud) of my collection of stamps which have yet to see an ink pad. This year I’m going to spend less time shopping and collecting and more time getting inky. (After I place an order from this release, that is!)
Get more fabulous PTI colors and actually use them instead of hoarding!
Wow! A crafty resolution! To finish all unfinished projects. Develop a blog and open an Etsy account. Teach what I learn.
My craft resolution this year is to try to br more “trendy” with my cards by being more in tune with what’s new in card making. I would also like to break out of my little box and try new styles without fear!
Get more of the fabulous PTI colors and actually use them instead of just hoarding!
To organize my craft room. 🙂 🙂 :O
One is to start properly sketching my cards out again in my brand new and gorgeous sketchbook I bought with some Christmas money 🙂 Second, is to use up what I have and anything that is left (ie the stuff I don’t like enough to use but feel the need to hold onto anyway) to recyle or sell!
To organize my craft room. 🙂 🙂 :O
I want to do more scrapbooking. I will still make cards, just spend a little more time creating scrapbook pages.
Ang
Wow! A crafty resolution! Finish all of my unfinished projects. Learn new crafts. Start a blog and open an Etsy account. Teach what I learn.
I am going to make a permanent space to craft in. It will probably be small, but that’s ok!
Simply to be more myself in my creations, to combine inspiration from all around me with my own basis of creativity and to focus on he basic reason I create–to enjoy!
My craft resolution is to actually make more cards this year, and don’t put them off till I’m under the gun. I really enjoy stamping, and need to much more of it in 2012. Thank you for all the inspiration.
My craft resolution this year (shy to say), clean up my messy craft room, I want a nice and clean room when I craft!!!!!
I want to commit to send cards to those important people in my life to show them they are important to me!
My craft resolution for 2012 is to design one of our extra room in the house and make it into my own craftroom since I don’t really have one that I can call my own yet. Thank you for this chance. 🙂
Happy New Year to all! This year I’m planning on reworking my craft space to make it more efficient, functional and inspirational. I’m hoping this will spark my creativity and increase my productivity.
My resolution for this year is to make more cards. I need to not wait until the last minute when I’m under the gun.. Thanks for all the inspiration you have provided with your team and awesome materials
I have a couple of crafting goals…first would be to get my scrapbooks complete and up to date. The other goal would be to only buy stamps and paper that I have three things planned out to use it for. Thanks for the chance to win!!
I think I’m in a big group of crafters wanting to scrapbook more because I always find the time to make cards! I also want to put my craft time in my schedule with more structure so I actually sit and do it when the time comes as opposed to my household duties.
My resolution is to “use it up” so to speak. We are getting ready to move and when I packed up the nonessentials in my craft room I realized just how much I had. Now every time I cut into a sheet of patterned paper or open a pack of chipboard stickers I don’t stop until I’ve used it all up.
Do I have a craft resolution? YES–to do as much crafting as possible! (tee hee!!) But seriously, my goal is to shop my stash more and resist the temptation to buy new products. And failing that, be ultra productive so that I use up more of what I have so that I CAN buy more new!!
My craft resolution is to get my craft room cleaned up and keep it cleaned up. Unfortunately, I’ve made this resolution before…
I made a resolution to get more Papertrey and make more cards.
I have a long to do list of things I want to make for me and family. I am really hoping I can start working on them and actually complete projects 🙂
My resolution for 2012you is to scrapbook more. I mostly make cards, but really want to get into scrapbooking this year!
My resolution is to try and get my tiny craft room organized and neat! Then I can buy more stuff because I can find it! Happy New Year to all and thanks for the chance to win!
My resolution is to spend my time creating rather than surfing the internet!!!! I get so many ideas and I end up not having enough time to create!!!
Yes! First to use the patterned paper I already have before I purchase any additional! Second to concentrate on scrapbooking the last 10 years of pictures that have been neglected!
Oh yes, I would like to organize my craft room and start submitting cards for publication.
I usually craft for others (gifts and favors) so it would have to be to get scrapbook pages done for my babies. Which is what got me into this in the first place.
My resolution is to find more time for my crafting which has always (until now :)), taken a backseat to the urgencies of a busy working and family life. I turn 60 in March, this is the year I spend with ME!
I want to focus on using my inventory. I will still purchase new things, (that’s inpiring and so much fun!), but I will be careful to use what I already own or give it away to someone who will use it. I want to make room for more papertrey supplies. 🙂
To use some of my purchases from the past first.
My resolution is to find more time for my crafting which has always (until now :)), taken a backseat to the urgencies of a busy working and family life. I turn 60 in March, this is the year I spend with ME!
Think my main resolution for this year is to organise my crafting space and keep it that way!! It’s really hard for me to put back the supplies I’ve used each time, so I end up with a clustered place where I can’t find anything!!!
My craft resolution is to clean and organize my craft space and to donate any items that I don’t use anymore. I’ve started the process and it has already inspired me to make a few things this year!
My craft resolution is to put things away the day I get them instead of letting things pile up! I was in major organization mode last week. I had several stamp sets and dies just sitting in a pile. Now everything is in it’s place and labeled. It’s hard to know what you have if you are not organized. My craft room is now super clean and organized and ready for my January Papertrey Release order goodies to find their new home:)
Be a more responsible crafter. Use more of what I have on hand (quit hoarding paper) Buy more responsibly and not on impulse. Don’t wait until the last minute to make cards for an occasion. Try to scrapbook once a month.
I want to be more organized and to make more time for crafting.

My resolution this year is to do something creative everyday, whether it is a five minute card or a larger project. Just so I do something everyday to let the creative juices flow.
My resolution is to craft more, and spend less time on the computer looking at other people’s beautiful crafting! So far, it’s working. I’ve made more this year than I did in the last six months – so am a happy girl!
I have 2, the first is to spend 1/2 my crafting time card making and the other half scrapbooking. Seems like I have neglected scrapbooking for the more immediate gratification that I get from card making -I am a more fussy scrapper. The second is to put away any new purchases in their proper place (that is a joke–I will be happy if they come of their bag/box/envelope) before I start crafting. Seems I accumulate a of new stuff and then when I go look for something I cannot find it – often leads to multiple purchases…wish me luck!
I resolve to get more scrapbooking done this year, and to try and keep a stash of cards always on hand, instead of having to make them at the last minute.
Be a more responsible crafter. Use more of what I have on hand, quite hoarding paper, don’t buy on impulse, don’t wait until the last minute to make a card for an occasion. Try to scrapbook once a month.
My resolution is to use what I have and only buy things of quality. I am switching to using only PTI paper because it is the best!
Yes, I have a resolution of sorts to make more cards and mini books to share with friends and to send to our granddaughters to get them interested in stamping and creating. It is the best way to spend a nice chunk of time.
To finally try and scrap my childhood photos. I would love to say to try and use up some of my supplies but the addiction to keep adding is too strong!!!
Yes, make more cards, use more from the stash and venture outside my comfort zone to try new techniques.
To try to get caught up on scrapbooking and to use the products I have instead of just looking at them!
My craft resolution for this year is to make more cards by participating in more challenges. I’d love to finish organizing my studio too that we remodeled last year.
Yes, I want to make more cards, send out more cards, give away more cards and try new techniques that forces me to go outside my comfort zone.
My new year craft resolution would have to be to use more of the craft supplies that I already have !! lol but I’m sure I will still be tempted by all the new Papertrey goodies each month 😉
I’m also going to try and scrapbook a page each day this year 🙂
My resolution is to spend less time reading about craft and actually doing it, like scrapbook or make cards or sew or something!
My craft resolution is to use up my older designer papers that I have been hoarding and by doing so put together a box of cards for a charitable organization such as our military, sick children or the elderly. I really do have a lot!
My craft resolution is to finish a project before going on to something else. Also would like to get better organized.
My craft resolution this year is to send more cards to my friends, just because. I have many friends that have suffered a lot of loss in the last year or two and friends that are sick. I think that a card just saying hello or I am thinking about you, could brighten their day. My second craft resolution is to “spend out” my craft supplies. No more saving that great paper, ribbon, or vintage buttons for something special. Something special is today!!!! Thanks for asking!
I need to use what I have (especially designer paper!) and purge what I know I won’t be using! Fabulous release!!
I don’t usually set craft resolutions but I do set goals each year when it comes to scrapbooking. Mostly, I concentrate on how many pages I want to create each month, what my priorities are, etc. Thanks for the great question and chance to win the awesome products coming out this month!
My resolution is to go through all of my craft supplies and purge and organize what’s left. I can’t even find anything anymore in my stash! I also want to turn one of our bedrooms into my craft room and get it all set up sometime in 2012. Thanks for the chance to win some of your awesome products!
My craft resolution this year is to make more specific cards for specific people and circumstances… I often make cards to go in my ‘stash’ but there’s something about responding to a need with something personal. I started by making one for my boss who is going through some tough stuff at work and it really encouraged him so I’m determined to keep going!
I made two resolutions. One was to reorganize my supplies and update my inventory binder and I’ve just finished. The other is to participate in at least one challenge per week and post it on my blog. Thank you to Nichole, the PTI design team and all the other PTI stampers who give me so much inspiration!
My craft resolution fits into my word of the year, resume. For crafts, I plan to resume my art journaling, blog and playing with different techniques and products. Wish me luck!
I did–My goal was to creative everyday but I’ve already missed days!!!
To get organized! I can get so much more done if I can find what I am looking for!
My new year craft resolution would have to be to try and use the craft supplies , papers etc that I already have …. But that doesn’t mean that I won’t be tempted to buy more Papertrey goodies , that I love 😉 Here in the Uk I always look forward eagerly to my parcels arriving !!!
I’m also going to try and make a scrapbook page every day this year 🙂
Aloha!
I try not to have a New Year resolution, but I seem to repeat this mantra: I promise to craft everyday this new year! I also hear this thing in my head telling me to “use what you have, what are you saving it for”.
So, I guess that’s my new year’s craft resolution.
Thanks for a chance to enter your contest.
Hugs!
I have several crafty resolutions this year. I want to improve my card-making. I want to really embrace my clean and simple style. And I want to send more cards “just because”. 🙂
My crafting resolution: Get these cards out of my room – either by mailing them to deserving friends and family or by selling on my Etsy shop. My finished products are requiring more and more space….I can use that space for something else – like more stamps!!!
My Craft resolution is to get better organized and do more scrapbooking this year.

Last year I spent some time and money getting better organized. This year I want to focus on devoting some time to some uninked stamp sets and churn out cards for more occasions so I’m not making them at the last minute. I’d also like to work on more challenges – at least once a month!
I wouldn’t say that I have a resolution, but I have hopes just getting more crafting done in general. I’d like to take one or two nights a month to sit down and make cards so I always have some on hand.
To organize my craft room and keep it that way. To make more time for crafting, which will be easier with all of that organization.
My crafty resolution is to schedule a Craft Day one Saturday a month – even “escaping” away from home with my paper crafting goodies if that’s what it takes to get it done.
My resolution was to try and use what I have, but the incredibly talented PTI team have tempted me again and I broke my resolution!!!!!!!!
My craft resolution is to get more organized. I don’t have an actual craftroom and all my craft stuff is everywhere. I have stuff on the floor in one corner of the room and then in the other corner of the room. I even have stuff in the middle of the room. It is just a big mess. The hardest part about organizing my crafting area is that there isn’t much I can get rid of or move since my crafting area doubles as a second living room. I’ve been looking into a bigger and better cabinet and hopefully that solves 50% of my organization issues. 🙂
Aloha!
I don’t usually make New Year resolutions. But lately I find myself repeating this mantra: I promise to craft everyday. And I hear this in my head: Use what you have, what are you saving it for.
So I guess that’s my new year resolutions! LOL
Thanks for a chance to enter your contest.

My Craft Resolution for 2012 is to get more organized and do more scrapbooking.
I am working on reorganizing my room. Hoping that will help me be more productive. I have been watching a lot of video on making mini albums from scratch. I hope I will get good enough to crank them out for fast gifts.
Hadn’t really thought about this . . . maybe it should be to get my December 2011 mini-album done in the first quarter of the year. Heh!
The top of my list for this year is to get my craft space organized so I can use all the treasures I already have. Once the space is again ready for crafting, my goal this year is to craft everyday–even if it’s just for a few moments.
I raise exotic birds, but it’s so time consuming!! And I’m very good at it and I dearly love the interaction with them and they are so smart. My resolution is to down size my aviary, so I have more time for paper crafting. I have to do both, so I’m either staying up late to craft or feed birds and I would like to have more free time. Paper crafting and making goodies for others makes my heart sing!
Not really a resolution per se because I don’t make them. Prefer to be committed or inspired without a New Year’s resolution to get me there.
Anyway.. what I committed to do was actually USE product versus saving it because I didn’t want to ‘mess it up’.
Craft more often!!! I get so busy sometimes with the craziness of life that I don’t make time to create. I love the process and the feeling of making something myself, and so this year, I hope to be intentional about setting time aside to craft/create….for my sanity if nothing else!! :o)
Make more paper craft for all holidays, and reorganize my scraproom.
Where do I start with the ‘crafty resolutions’? Use the stamps that haven’t seen ink yet? Not hoard designer paper, keep my crafy space tidy…. Best one, craft before housework!!!! Looove the January release.
Hugs, Jenny
I would love to clean and organize my craft room. A clean organized space makes crafting and creating easier to do and so much more pleasant.
My craft resolution is to use the craft supplies I already have before purchasing more. I have drawers full of paper that I really want to use up before I buy more.
First, I hope to get all of my stamps into CD cases with labels on the spine so that I can find them easily. Next, I hope to actually use more of stamp sets and supplies that I buy. Thanks for the chance to win!
My craft resolution for 2012 would be to keep my craft room organized now that I have a new craft room, start working on my Christmas cards in July, instead of at the last minute, and learn some new techniques and master them.
I guess my ‘craft’ resolution for the year would be to purge some of my older supplies. I tend to ‘collect’ things that I ‘might’ use someday and some of those things are at least 10 years old and ‘someday’ hasn’t come yet!!!!!!
I have a couple.. One is to actually mail the cards I make (lol) I have more in my stash than I get sent out. Also, I have neglected my scrapbooking (which is how I got into stamping in the first place) and want to get back to completing those pages!!
I would like to make more cards & paper projects instead of getting lost online looking at what other people have created!
My craft resolution would be to make more all occasion cards and start a scrap journal with my daughter. I LOVE ALL THE JANUARY RELEASE stamps.
My craft resolution is to spend more time creating and less time collecting!
My resolution is to use more than I buy. Also, to craft some everyday. I have a craft room now, so I am hoping to spend at least some time every day creating.
My ‘craft resolution’ is to find a craft or two (card making & crochet) and combine them into 1 totally fabulous, amazing look! Oh, and make room for more supplies. 😉
I would love to make cards a month ahead… that way, when someone’s b-day comes along, I’m ready!
This year I would like to at least submit something to one of the publications, I never have and think it would be fun. That, and, I need to resist purchasing any more patterned paper until I’ve used most of the stuff I already own.
I am going to get a bit more organized and keep putting items in labeled containers.
Hoping to get published, however “you gotta’ be in it to win it”…better start submitting!
I have resolved to stay on top of my project life album this year so I am not scrambling at the end of the year.
My craft resolution for 2012 is to be more free, to feel less constraint and to make the most of all the supplies I’ve got. I also would like, once the kids have gone back to school to do something crafty everyday, however small it would be.
I would love to waste less time at the computer reading about craft and actually do some, such as scrapbooking, card making, sewing or something!
My crafty resolution is to “Go with my first thought, and not doubt myself!” Being willing to stretch out of my comfort zone and try new things!
I need to make a New Year’s resolution with regards to my crafting, most importantly, I must make better use of the stamp sets I already have, maybe challenge myself to use a stamp/set in three ways each time, and to use every set at least once! I also seriously need to scrapbook life for my daughter!
I want to find more time to be able to do crafty things. It always makes me happy when I do get to spend time in my craft room.
Well, I actually have 2! 1 is already almost completed and that was to get my craft room organized! And the 2nd one is to do more scrapbooking! I am always making cards and altered projects but haven’t scrapped a page in 2 years!!
Thanks for all the great products and fabulous inspiration!! ♥
To make more of my own background paper instead of buying designer paper.
My new year’s craft resolution is to go through my stuff and organize it!!! Lol!
One of mine would be to start selling some of my cards.
My new year’s crafting resolution is to remember to make cards for every family members birthday. The key word is remember and hopefully remember and make the card before the birthday has come and gone.
Mine would be to get more scrapbooking done. So much to do!
My craft resolution is to maybe try and get published. I am crazy over this craft and for the last year and some have been head over heels! I found PTI and great blogs and I am looking for any spare moment to be in my craft room!
Now that I’ve “discovered” Papertrey Ink, my craft resolution is to improve my stamping skills to be worthy of their wonderful quality stamps!
I submitted my first card to be published a few months ago and was shocked when it was chosen to be published. My craft resolution is to submit more of my work for publication. I am also resolving to get my supplies even more organized, to update my blog more regularly, and to possibly join a design team.
My crafting resolution is to get organized and stay organized, but more so it is to craft daily for doing what makes you happy and makes the world a happier place.
TO actually use more of my supplies and quit “saving” them!!
I want to create more projects this year. I also want to make sure I have my Christmas cards completed before I need them this year.
My new years crafting resolution is to make and send birthday cards before the persons birthday has come and gone.
Would love to have more time to actually craft and finish things I start!
My Craft Resolution for 2012 is to start crafting for Christmas early by starting my Christmas cards in January (yes, January!). The Mission: Make 4 Christmas cards each month (2 designs x 2 cards each) to give me a good stash by October. The cards will be done and the pressure off!
This year I resolve to put inspiration to use. I have an iPad filled with bookmarked card and page ideas, yet I rarely create anything. I resolve to create at least one project inspired by each of these ideas before the end of the year. Wish me luck!
My craft resolution this year is to have all the cards I need done well in advance of needing them. My family and friends have told me how much they appreciate my hand made cards and look forward to recieving them. I even bought cards this year when my mojo failed me ( I know shame on me). I plan to do better this year.
Crafting reVolution this year? Craft more, buy less. Use what I have. Quit making lists of what I’m going to make, and get to the business of creating!
This sums up my whole outlook on the year.. quit resolving to get stuff done, just do it already! 🙂
Thanks as always for the chance to win some fun goodies!
My craft resolution is to stop procrastinating and create more cards. Thanks for the chance to win such an awesome prize.
My craft resolution is to get organized and to get an earlier start on my holiday cards.
Yes, In this new year I want to use what I buy. I love all my papertrey stamps and dies and will continue to collect them.They are always a wonderful addition to my collect. But sometimes I don’t use them enough. So this year I vow to use them daily. Thanks for the chance to win all the wonderful sets this month
My crafty resolution is to use up some of the wonderful things I have in my stash, to get my children’s school albums completed before they go to university and to play with my crafty toys more often–daily if I can.
My craft resolution is to use more of what I already have and to become more organized with it. I also want to start using pinterest, because that seems to be the “hot” thing.
Mine is to actually pick a name for my craft blog! It’s been in the works for a while and I just need to cover my eyes and throw a dart!!
My goal for 2012 is to enjoy the process. Card making and scrap-booking are a huge joy for me, so I have decided to take out the stress of “being behind” or making things perfect – and just enjoy the art! Aaaahh…
This year I need to organise my craft space better so that I can fit more goodies in the cupboards 🙂
My crafting resolution is to start and finish my scrapbook album(s).
My husband says I should resolve not to buy any more paper or ribbon until I use up what I have, but we both know that’s not going to happen! My resolution is to try to document our everyday life (Thanks, Michelle!) and to try to not to stress out so much trying to create the “perfect” page or card. Thanks for a chance to win!!
My resolution is to do more crafting and to try and organize my craft space!! And to get more Papertrey stamps, dies, paper, etc.!!! : )
my goal this year is to actually make a scrapbook – not just buy supplies for one!
My resoulution is to organise my craft room and give my extra supplies to my nieces, some dear friends and local schools. I have all ready started their bags and I am looking forward to filling them up.
My resolution this year is to make all the cards that I need and not break down and buy any.
My resolution is to be more resourceful with the supplies I already have. Have already been getting back to making seasonal favors for the office people using alot of paper and twine I’ve been stashing. Feels great!
My goal for the year is to take one night a month to scrapbook and make cards with my friends. Not only will I get to make things (which I LOVE), but I will also get the girl time I need on a regular basis.
My crafting goals are… 1. use some of the product I have been hoarding. 2. Build up my card stash. I always wait until the last minute, so I run out of time and buy a card instead of making one. 3. I would love to take a day and spend it just making cards with scraps only.
My husband thinks I should resolve to not buy any more paper or ribbon until I use up what I have, but we both know that isn’t going to happen!! My resolution is to document our everyday life (thanks, Michelle) and to try to make simpler layouts for my multitude of old photos! Thanks for a chance to win!
My ‘craft resolution’ is to use what I’ve been hoarding! Then, I can justify buying more…. I’m not sure just how long this will last… I think I bought something last week! Maybe I can do both.
Oh my yes…I would like to clean up my craft room! Right now it looks like a hurricane has struck! I would also like to get some cards done ahead of time so I don’t have to make them last minute.
To use more of my left over die cuts and embellishments
Yesssss I want to get the Fresh Snow ink!!! This year, I’m planning to reorganize my craft room especially after an awesome shelf that my parents got for me. Then hopefully, I will blog my cards more often and hopefully sell a few more this year!
To finish some of the many quilts and other projects I have started and have yet to complete.
My resolution is go just do more crafting. And to let my kids touch my stuff more 🙂
I’m another one who has resolved to clean out my stash and pass on what I don’t think I’ll ever use to someone else.
To use more of my left overs and stash
I have wanted to spend the time to do a large project, like a small book or a wall hanging. I do lots of cards as they are pretty quick to finish.
My resolution is two-fold: 1) Purge those things that I know I will never use (or get rid of duplicates because I bought a second one since I couldn’t find the item that I knew I had purchased); 2) Use the items that I have purchased to bring joy to the lives of family and friends!
My resolutions are to work on cards as well as layouts, to scrap moments as well as events, and to use my stash of supplies so that I can have room for new crafty supplies too!
I seem to have many ‘resolutions’ 🙂
My main one is to make several cards per stamp set. In other words, I want to take a stamp set and make several card designs from that set. I have many PTI sets that have have been under utilized. I need to change that.
My resolution is to just do more crafting, I don’t get to do it as often as I like. And to let my kids enjoy it with me more often…
I sooo need to do more crafting this year. But I really need to make some “stock” items that I can just grab and send in an emergency.
I have many, many craft resolutions this year. I hope to be more organized, to use what I have, to organize my blog better, to sale my creations on etsy, to get published and to design for some of my dream teams. That’s not a lot right??
My crafty resolution is to organize my crafting supplies so that I can “get my craft on” more often! I’ll also be purging my supplies – keeping some for when my nieces & nephew visit, giving some to them to take home for crafty fun, & donating some to the local elementary school.
My craft resolution is to clean up my work area! I moved everything downstairs over a year ago and I still don’t have it organized! Everytime I think I should start to work on it, I sit down and make cards! Ugh! Maybe someday!
My resolution is to just “do it”. I have so many ideas in my head but I agonize over beginning a new project. I am always afraid it won’t turn out how I expect it to or that I will make a mistake. I know there are no mistakes in crafting so I will just have to get busy!
My resolution is to quit saying I don’t have the time and FIND the time to craft as often as I can. This past year I let other things get in my way of crafting and I missed the pleasure and joy it brings to me. As well as stress relief!
My resolution is to make more time for my crafts. It may not feed my pocketbook like work, but it feeds my soul, and I need more of that this year!
I’ve already started the New Year by parting with some things in my craft room. I donated many past issues of scrapbooking and card making magazines to a local nursing center. They seemed thrilled to have them, so I will be moving more “stuff” out their way to make room for more Papertrey goodness!
I don’t make resolutions on new years. I do them on my birthday, I feel they mean more and are more personal. 🙂
I am going to start to “think out of the box” by trying new design layouts and color combinations.
Thanks for this opportunity. I love all the new stamp sets.
My craft resolution is to get more organized, organize my blog better, to use more of what I have, to get published and to design for some of my dream teams!
My resolution for this year is to be more tidy in my studio…to put things away right after I have finished using them.
Good luck to me!!!!!
Participate more, use my stash more, create outside my comfort zone more, experiment more, share more – CRAFT more! Yay!
My resolution is to make more time to be with my crafty friends and use the supplies I have and to laugh and enjoy this time together !
My craft resolution is to organize!! I’ve started several organization projects over the years and never completed them. That will stop this year! The plus side is that whatever I’m not keeping will be donated so everyone will be happy when I’m done
My crafty resolution is to get more organized, use what I have and to hopefully get published this year!
My craft resolution is to make at least 5 things with every stamp set I own and also every cricut cartridge. I want to actually USE all the wonderful things I own. Also, set aside a couple hours of crafting time every week and use it. I have a lot of young children so there are so many other things I could be doing but one day for two hours crafting in on my to do list!
My craft resolution is to organize!! I’ve started several organization projects over the years and never completed them. That will stop this year! The plus side is that whatever I’m not keeping will be donated so everyone will be happy when I’m done
My resolution is to create a craft room. No more crafting from a card table 🙂
Right before Christmas, I gave birth to my first child. I am creating a baby scrapbook for her, and my resolution/goal is to keep current on the pages and not get behind… My main craft has been card making over the last few years, and it’s been sooo long since I’ve scrapbooked. So, I’m really excited about this project. I’ll be using lots of PTI & hope that someday soon 12×12 cardstock will be available 😉
My craft resolution is to organize!! I’ve started several organization projects over the years and never completed them. That will stop this year! The plus side is that whatever I’m not keeping will be donated so everyone will be happy when I’m done!
My resolution is strange. I LOVE making cards. I have very dear friends. I will be sending these cards to friends and not holding on to them!
I am mainly a scrapper, but have recently dabbled in some card making. My resolution is to find more time to craft with friends. I love spending time, sharing ideas and resources with my scrapping peeps.
My resolution is to use the Cool Tools booklet to become more comfortable with the various techniques (I’m new to all of this). And also to schedule a regular time for card making into my daily life.
My craft goal this year is to stamp more for me, for FUN!!!!
My craft resolution is to organize!! I’ve started several organization projects over the years and never completed them. That will stop this year! The plus side is that whatever I’m not keeping will be donated so everyone will be happy when I’m done!
My resolution is to craft more with my daughter. She likes to make cards and I want to encourage to keep up with it.
I want to USE my DSP instead of just looking at it!! I love to hoard it because it is just too pretty to cut!!! I also want to send more cards – even “just because” cards. Thanks for the generous chance to win!!!
Making myself use my stash that I have and sharing the things I won’t use with my fellow crafters. Also with my card girls do a swap of products so that we can recycle to each other what we don’t use anymore. Cheers xx
My resolution is to make at least one card a day. I love everything Papertrey Ink has!
My crafting resolution is to create something each day. I also want to make my daughtet some pretty headbands.
My resolution is to start actually making more cards with all of the stuff I order. I need to pull myself away from looking at the design teams wonderful projects and actually doing some myself. Thanks for all of the great ideas and products.
To plan ahead! I want to have a stack of cards for birthday, anniversary, wedding etc. made up ahead of when I need them. I have a bad habit of waiting until the day I need something and then the creating is stressful instead of fun.
Each and every project is amazing… Wow! It would be a DREAM to win!
I do have a scrapbooking goal this year — I hope to complete a Project 12 (monthly pages). Fingers crossed!
I plan on making cards on have on hand as I need them. Thanks for all your great ideas.
My craft resolution is to make AT LEAST 2 cards per week! I know this might sound weird to all you avid paper crafter, but the thing is I’m always reading blogs and looking at some many amazing projects in the web, that when is the time for me to act, I’m intimidated and don’t know how to start. I know if I can follow this resolution to the end, I will have at least a stack of 104 cards … enough to all the events I have to celebrate throughtout the year!
Mine is to use my precious time more wisely.
My craft resolution is to craft more than I did last year… I’ve definitely collected a good collection and will continue to add to it, but I still have some things I haven’t really cracked into yet… hopefully I’ll be whipping up a lot more cards very soon!
I need to organize my supplies this year (though that doesn’t stop me from hoping to win!!). 🙂 Looks like a great release!
Find more time to create.
I love the process of “acquiring” but I vow to actively pull out older items & either create or donate. I would also like to start making card sets & gifting them. I need to get back on track with scrapbooking also.
My crafting resolution is to use what I have. I, like many stampers, tend to hoard paper, afraid that if I use it I will never find it again. I’d like to work through my ‘stash’!
This year I would like to reorganise my craft space to make it more user friendly!
My crafty resolution is like what many others have said. I want to purge my supply ans use what I already have in terms of patterned paper. I would also like to make MORE CARDS!
My resolution is simple…to be a better steward of my tools and supplies. I would like to take better care of them, use them more often and appreciate the “therapy” I get from them.
My Resolution is to use what I have and not buy anymore paper till I make a dent in the old stuff…but who are we kidding, most likely I will be buying more : )
My resolution is simple…to be a better steward of the supplies and tools I have. To take care of them better, to use them more often and to appreciate the “therapy” I get from them.
I am planning on setting up a business to sell my work. I have been selling on a small scale for the past couple of years and now it’s time to enlarge and see what happens.
I vow in the new year to better organize my craft studio. That way, I’ll have more time to stamp than search for what I need to complete my project!
My resolution is to have cards ready in advance of when I need them! It isn’t working out to well yet because I need on tomorrow! ;0)
DO!!! I really need to stop admiring all my beautiful PTI supplies and use them more, it’s just that are sooo pretty! That is my resolution, try to create some more cards and mini books for my children and actually send them!
My resolution is to dig out from under the piles that are my craft room and enable myself to do something with my supplies. Right now I can’t find the supply I want when I need it. 🙁
I would like to make 10-15 cards per month to build up my stash and make my Christmas cards before Thanksgiving! In addition, I would like to.grow my stamp collection by leaps and bounds!
My craft resolution is to make AT LEAST 2 cards everyweek. I know this might sound weird to all you avid paper crafter but the thing is I’m always reading blogs and looking at so many amazing projects that when is time for me to act, I feel intimidated! I know if I stay tune to this resolution, I will end up the years with enough cards to celebrate the different events for my family co-workers and friends, without the need to run and purchase cards at the last moment because I was not able to do them … that will make me very happy!!!
My resolution is to purge what I don’t use…I have 15 years worth of scrapping and stamping stuff in my craft room, so I am way overdue for a major purge!
My resolution is not really a resolution, but an intention. I intend to do Project Life this year, and scrapbook the small daily moments of life. I also intend to use my PTI supplies more in making cards ahead of time to have on hand when the occasion arises!!
My resolution is to do a major purge this year! I have 15 years of scrapping and stamping items in my craft room, so I am way overdue!
My resolution is to try to do more of my own original work and less copying of others so that I can truly find my own style! Love the new stamps!
I have several! Updating my blog more often. Using what I have. Selling my cards and invitations.
Last year I resolved to send cards for birthdays ON TIME and I did really well. I’d like to keep that going as well.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
my resolution is to get my new craft room in order & to get busy using my supplies.
My crafty resolution is to submit to a magazine and get published 🙂 Thanks so much for the chance to win!
My resolution would be to make and send more cards to family and friends. I know how much it improves my day to get mail, and I want to pass that good feeling along to others more often.
My craft resolution is to start submitting to magazines and get published! I’d love to make time to create cards specifically for some of the calls this year!
to purge and clean so i can have new spaces for more papertrey goodies 😉
My “craft” resolution is to get all of my crafting supplies organized, so I can find what I need quickly and easily! The process has begun, but there is a long way to go! Your release has been great fun to watch! Thankyou!
My craft resolution is I must use at least one older craft item be it paper or embellishment that I had bought and use it with something new…afterall I bought it for a reason =)
to purge and get ready for more of your goodies
I have a number of craft hobbies, and never seem to have enough time for them. So my resolution this year is to do something crafty at least 5 days a week. Even if it is only for 15 minutes.
My craft resolutions are to post on my blog more often, only buy what I am really going to use, and to purchase stamps from a variety companies not just one.
My resolution is to use up what craft supplies I have on hand. I have several stamp sets which are still uninked.
My resolution is to just take 30 minutes each day and do something crafty for me. I want this year to be the year where I craft because of my love for it and not to worry that I’m not as good as my online friends or worry that it’s not perfect. Thanks for the chance and thanks for all the fabulous inspiration!
My crafting goal for this year is to submit some of my work to magazines- with the obvious hope of actually getting something published. Thanks for the chance to win such awesome new products!
I plan to make a large stash of cards to have on hand and I am going to scrapbook my daughter’s pics with paper I already have. I am going to purge my hoard and mail it to a friend who has 5 children so they can enjoy it!
My crafting resolution is to sell or giveaway papers and stamps that I don’t use anymore. I truly have more supplies than I will ever be able to use. Thank you for so much beautiful inspiration this week!
My resolution is to try to be more creative in using my supplies. I love the cards that mix elements from different sets and my goal is to experiment with images and color combos. Kudos to you all at PTI. Marvelous product and inspiration!
Wow a resolution for crafting…that’s a list
1. Start crafting and stop procrastinating.
2. Get rid of unused or old crafting items.
3. Get back to scrapbooking.
4. Have more girl’s night for crafting.
5. Be original.
So many great resolutions! I can identify with every one I read. I need to make more cards for our city library as the card club that used to make them disbanded 🙁 Also to scrapbook more and ‘tell the story’ more than audition decorative elements. Hopefully that will free-up time to compose. Thank you for a wonderful month of stamps and dies. Stellar!

My crafty resolutions include making an inventory of PTI stamps with Evernote, buying less patterned paper, finishing Christmas cards and tags before December 1, and participating in more challenges.
I am sure this has been repeated by several, but my resoltuion is to use all the cute things I have purchased over the last few years! So many packs of special paper that I have been saving for just the right pictures/layout! Time to start using and enjoy!
Thans for all your designs and inspiration!
I hope to participate in more sketches. I love seeing what others do with a sketch, and I’d like to see what I come up with before I peek at theirs.
My resolution is to try to experiment with my purchased stamps and dies and use them in multiple ways. I also want to experiment with backgrounds using different art medias with stamps and dies.
I turn 60 this year in March and so my resolution is to find more time for the fun and creativity associated with my crafting and not to be distracted by the urgency of work and family agendas 🙂
Make more stuff instead of just buying it and looking at it!
I plan to try to make more cards so that I have something ready when I need it. I also want to try to work on my Christmas cards all year long so I am not stressing at the last minute trying to get enough done for everyone. But before I can do either of these I need to get my office/craft space cleaned and organized. I plan to try to get that done this weekend.
To get organized!!!! And I will be giving away all my old products to the local schools
My resolution is to organize, categorize and document all my PTI stamps and dies, so I know what I have and can make better use of all my supplies. Thanks for the chance to win.
To incorporate all of my “goodies” and only purchase the items I really need and not just want. That way I will be utilizing everything I have and not let anything go to waste.
i had 3: to clean/purge/reorganize my craft space (completed), to learn to sketch (taking classes) and to work on art journaling (joined a journaling group).
My resolution is to start stamping and crafting more instead of hoarding my stuff. Right now I am in the process of reorganizing all my craft supplies. Hopefully I will get more creative once I can find stuff easier.
My crafting resolution is to use more of my cards. This includes sending them, giving them to others as gifts, and donating them. I donated a lot of cards last year, and want to do more of that this year. Unfortunately for my wallet, I do not have any resolutions about buying less, because I don’t want to make any resolutions that I know I will break in a flash.
My resolution for 2012 is to use the items in my”stash” that I haven’t even opened or inked up yet. It will be fun to create with some of the awesome items I already have.
I love the Austen inspired releases this month!
Peggy N
To get my Holiday cards done before Thanksgiving, so they can be mailed the Friday after.
My craft resolutions are to get some scrapbook pages published this year and also to have one of my projects get on the cover of a magazine. I want to push myself to really define my style and figure out more of who I really am as a crafter. Oh, and I want to also get my Etsy shop filled up again and sell more of my work.
I resolve to use my stock of paper crafting supplies to their full potential and make loads and loads of cards
(I tried to post earlier, but I don’t think it posted). I want to make MORE cards! PS: I love, love, love your products!
Yes! it is to use more of my stash and purchase very little new… except for PTI of course haha! Also to organize what i have and if i dont love it to give it away.
My resolution is to turn to my stash FIRST before buying any new products. And tied in with this, I am identifying papers, embellies, tools, etc. that for whatever reason I haven’t used; I’ll be sending them to a friend who has just started out in cardmaking and scrapbooking.
I’d like to spend more time designing cards “fresh”, without checking Pinterest and blogs for ideas to CASE first.
My resolution is to continue to grow my Etsy shop that I opened in November! I love creating cards and other paper related crafts and PTI has a great product that enables me to offer a high quality product!
Thanks for the chance to win!

Think less and craft more.
Yes, I do! Use the supplies that I have on hand (stamps don’t count!), craft more, make the MFT design team and have fun! I really need to stop stressing about what everyone else is looking for and just do my thing!
My resolution is to try to find more time to craft – it seems that with my busy schedule I never have a free moment, and then when I do I end up using the time to put away the stuff I have bought. I need to use the stuff I have so that I have more time to actually make things!
My resolution is to complete the projects I have started. I have finally cleaned out all the supplies I do not use and donated them to 5 charities. Now onto finsihing up projects and making room for new and exciting things to come my way.
My crafty resolution is to GET ORGANIZED, CREATE MORE, and get PUBLISHED. I would also like to donate my unused stuff to the kids hospital by my home.
I want to purge things I don’t use buy more I will. I also want to master my copic markers!
My craft resolution would be “Do something creative every day!” I feel so much better when I get a little crafty time in!
To use old unopened supplies before buying more!
My resolution is to remember all of my friend’s birthdays with a handmade card. I am going to try to mail them. I had such a good time receiving all my beautiful Christmas cards this year, it reminded me how much fun it is to get something personal in the mail.
I’ve got a few-I’d still like to have a publication featured on the cover of magazine. I also would love to be on a design team again. I scaled way back in the last few years, team wise, but I miss the thrill of being part of all the fun. And finally, I really need to update my original stamping blog more.
I’ve made some fitness resolutions for this year but no craft resolutions. But maybe I should! I haven’t printed any pictures for the last four years. *gasp!* I want to get those printed and scrapbooked so they can be enjoyed. And I want to not stress about it – what I get done is better than what I have done now (which is nothing.) I think Project Life is going to fit the bill for me. And my stamps are going to help add some creativeness to the project.
I would like to offer card making classes to women who would like to do it but can’t afford to buy scrapbooking stuff. I would not sell anything,they would not have to bring anything,and for a small amount they could make some models and learn new techniques. I would reinvest the profits in new scrapbooking tools.
Johanne L.
My crafting resolution is to organize my crafting space. I want to be able to easily see what stamps I have and my goal is to have them all pictured in a binder so I know exactly what I have. I plan to number them so storing isnt too complicated.
Happy New Year ALL!
My resolution is get more cards made this year, and to get them made before I need them.
Yes, I have been wanting to for ages and just never organised it, but want to create a craft group with my friends where we catch up at least once a month. Otherwise it just never happens. So I am setting a day and emailing everyone. Inspiration here I come.
My resolution is to craft more and toremember to mail a card out once a week.
My craft resolution is to dig out product that is not used very often and “use it” and to create something out of my comfort zone using any one of the many techniques I’ve seen on your site.
My resolution is to get organized and start selling my cards!
My resolution for this year is to craft every day and send out those cards that I have made for the intended. So far, so good:)
My resolution is to use more adventurous color combinations. I want to branch out from my typical color schemes and try new combinations from all of the color families!
I would like to organize card making classes for women who would like to do it but can’t afford to buy scrapbooking stuff. I would not sell anything, they would not have to bring anything, and for a small amount they could make some projects and learn new techniques. I would reinvest the profits in new scrapbooking tools.
My resolution is to use my stash! Dig out the wonderful stamps that I own and use them!!!! And enter more challenges! But this resolution lasts about 5 minutes because I see what you are releasing !!! Wow, all On my wish list!
Organize, Organize, Organize! We are getting ready to downsize so this will be a must this year! Next would be to try my hand at knitting or crochet! I have always wanted to learn and I figure now is better then ever! lol! 🙂
My craft resolution is to send at least one handmade card each week. So often, I think of someone who might need an envelope of love and good wishes but don’t actually get the card sent. This year I want to do more than just have the good thought. This means making more cards which is always a good thing. I am thankful for all the great inpiration here from the designers. Thanks for offering the great prize!
My resolution is to organize the rest of my craft room as well as my PTI things are organized, lol!! To make better use of my room and be serious about getting rid of things that I have not used in over a year!:)
My resolution is to start using some of my stamps that havent seen ink yet and to use what I have and only buy what I need, tall order considering I love shopping for my crafty stuff.
To be more organized. I’ve been browsing around for frugal organization ideas. And, to get back on track making at least one card a week.
To sort out my craft room and “rehome” any unloved items (not PTI of course!)
Using more of my supplies or giving them away! I have so many things that just aren’t getting the love they deserve!!
My resolution is to organize all my supplies as well as my PTI supplies and get rid of the things that I have not used in over a year.
“Begin to delve in twenty twelve!” I have been thinking too much and not doing enough. That has got to stop. I have been cleaning and re-organizing in the first couple of weeks now I am ready to start putting those supplies back to use!
My craft resolution for 2012, is to learn new ways to use my stash and then clean out my lovely collection… and donate to others the things I know I will never use, so someone else might enjoy these lovely treasures!!! so this will make room for some new goodies that might be on my wish list…( hint, hint Papertrey ink!!!) because my wish list is getting pretty long. with each new release!!!
My resolution is to purge all the older product i have been hoarding and to re organize my space. I have a few places i can donate my supplies to and the schools often need the papers and other items for art classes. Thank you for a great release week!
I have a couple craft resolutions; first ORGANIZE!! Then more scrapbooking, and donating cards to the Cancer Center.
My resolution is to buy no pattern scrapbook paper this year. I have so much pattern paper and I don’t use it. I have given away about half of what I own. I also want to incorporate more pattern paper in my card making and scrap booking layouts. I will continue to purchase stamps and dies though.
I don’t have a craft resolution. I would like to be able to get back to stamping again and using my die cutting tools.
I would like to learn to photograph my cards better and I would like to learn how to use photoshop.
My craft related resolution for 2012 is to use more of what I have and quit hoarding supplies. Styles change and there’s always something new I “need”, so must make room!
My crafty resolution is to clean out my stuff. I got a good start last year and I’m trying to give away anything that I don’t use before I can get any new.
My “craft” resolution is to reorganize my stuff and use my supplies more. And have cards ready to mail for all the coming birthdays.
My craft resolution would be to give more. Card making is fun to me, and giving someone a card feels even better. I would like to donate cards monthly to nursing homes and children’s hospitals. I would also like my children to be involved!
My craft resolution this year is to reduce my spending and increase my time spent crafting with what I have!!
My crafting resolution is just to craft as much as possible, and keep my blog updated. I owe the online crafting community everything; inspiration, enabling (lol!), and friendship. If it weren’t for this community, I wouldn’t have become involved in such an amazing hobby. =)
For me it would have to be to clean up my work space after each project… so far I haven’t done so well and it is only 1/2 way through January… need to step it up!
My craft resolution this year would be to try and participate in more challenges, make cards ahead of time for friend’s & relatives occasions, and to use all of the wonderful stamps, dies & tools I purchase. It’s a shame some of them sit there just waiting to be used. I think if I enter more challenges I’ll be more apt to try to stamp sets too.
My craft resolution this year is to spend more crafty time with my girls (age 4 and 7). I know that they will enjoy card making and crafting as much as I do and it will be a fabulous way to spend more time with them on something we all can enjoy!
My resolution is two-fold. I’d like to make more cards outside my comfort zone and I’m in the process of cleaning my craft room and I plan to donate my (mucho!) excess stuff to a woman I know that holds craft crops.
My crafty resolution this year is to mail out at least one card a week to someone! I have lots of family -1,000 miles away, along with lots of old friends made while my husband was in the military for 20 years; I’m hoping to keep in touch with them all better this year via “snail mail” with lots of homemade cards.
Thanks for the chance to win this awesome and most generous prize!!
My main craft resolution is to be more organized in my crafting . My second resolve is to be more open to new techniques and to really try them . You offer so many beautuful new options to try in my card designs.
To make cards in advance and have them on hand for different occasions. I am usually making things at the last minute and don’t always enjoy crafting as much as I would if there was no stress and time limitations involved.
My craft resolution for 2012 is to make time to create.
My craft resolution for 2012 is to get back into scrapbooking AND to comment on people’s blogs more. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to get around to see everything 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
Yes, I really want to be much more creative with making my own background papers with stamping and inking and using my stamps more imaginatively. 🙂
My crafty resolution this year is to do a 2 Layouts a week. I started paper crafting doing scrapbooks and somehow ended up doing cards and anything else that wasn’t a layout, now I’m behind again. Thanks for an opportunity to win these AWESOME stamps!!
My craft resolution for 2012 is to make more of an effort to USE all my wonderful supplies instead of simply “collecting” them!!! I am so incredibly blessed to be able to acquire all these beautiful stamps, dies and accessories… now I need to bless others more often than I already do.
My craft resolution is to use my supplies in as many ways possible in card making, scrapbooking, gifts and home decor
I am trying to organize my Craft room I want to be able to FIND hidden treasures! I need to purge old, unused, or no longer wanted items.
I resolve to stop hoarding my embellishments and using them!
I have several. I need to purge my craft supplies (so I can buy more) and then I need to actually use what I have.
My resolution is to enjoy the process more and not worry about things being perfect.
Definitely….my resolution is to spend more time creating things I love and things that will be a blessing to others! I want to use my paper crafting skills to make things for the people I love….things that will leave a legacy of who I am.
My resolution is to use the Cool Tools booklet to become more comfortable with the various techniques (I’m new to all of this). And also to schedule a regular time for card making into my daily life.
My news year resolution for crafting is to get back into scrap booking. I have neglected that area the past couple of years. My children were recently enjoying the ones I had completed. Seeing the interest and joy on their faces looking through them made me realize that it was not a waste of time, but rather a gift to each of them.
I do not make any resolutions, but I do make goals of things that I want to accomplish or improve throughout the year. This year it is to maintain my blog, and finish up some long standing projects so that I may start new ones. Beautiful release!
My craft solution is to use more of what I have. I am good about sending cards but only if I have them made already. Cardmaking on a deadline is stressful! Not only do I want to make more cards, but I want to participate in more monthly PTI blog hops and start participating in the MIM challenges. I had made only two cards for challenges last year.
Thanks for such a generous giveaway!
My craft resolution for this year is to get my craft room cleaned out and organized, and get rid of the stuff I’m not using. I need a more functional space so that I don’t get so overwhelmed that I don’t want to do anything. I think it will help me get more inspired to work on more projects this year.
I have several resolutions:
1. USE MY STASH
2. Make room for new stash 🙂
3. Try new techniques
4. Reorganize!
Love PTI and thanks for the chance to win!
Susan
My craft resolution for this year is to finish a lot of promised crafts to family. I have to make at least one quilt, one blanket, finish another quilt, make a t-shirt for my niece’s 1st birthday…so I would love to just finish all the ideas in my head!
To actually organize my scrap/sewing room! Its a disaster!
I do have a craft resolution this year. I am going to make my craft space a functional, organized and inpiration-supporting workspace. That doesn’t mean it will be pretty, or fancy, or that it will even look neat to anyone else, but to me…it will be the place that lets me organize, store, find and create my art when the inspiration strikes. right now, my space is such a disorganized space that i can’t find the things that i KNOW i have…somewhere…in there…i will make it happen. this passion is too important to me for it not to. thanks for the chance to win. your designs and innovations continually blow my papercrafting mind. xx
My craft resolution is to use all my supplies in as many way as possible. I’d like to use all of them in card making, scrap booking, gifts and home decor. No more hoarding them!
My craft resolution for this year is to get organized in my craft room–know what I have, and how to find it when I need it!!
My resolution is to make some progress on my scrapbooks. I spent most of last year making cards, and more poor scrapbooks have been neglected. I also need to use my stash!
My craft resolution is to ensure that I use what I buy!!! LOL!
My craft resolution is to use all my supplies in every way possible. I’d like to use them all in card making, scrap booking, gifts and home decor. I will not hoard!
Use up or clear out and try, try, try to keep the studio cleaned up.
Yes, I do have a craft resolution. I want to use my stamps to make gifts this year, not just for Christmas but for birthdays, new baby, etc. I’ve always made cards but would like to make other crafty things on a more personal level like labels for jars of homemade goodies, or carriers for bottles of bath salts, etc., tailor-made for the special people in my life.
One of my crafting resolutions is to actually send some of the cards I make! At the end of the I have literally hundreds that I donate. I guess that’s like sending them huh? Just all at once!
My plan is to get the old decrepit closet in our basement bedroom and make it into a craft closet. I’d like to have all of my stamps and papers and embellishments within arms reach and out where I can see it. A comfy chair will be a must along with a good internet connection so I can listen to pandora (quietly) and craft while my family sleeps. The only time I can seem to get anything done around here!! That’s my resolution!
My resolution is to make time for craft one day a month for the whole year. Last year I had one day for scrapbooking, and managed to squeeze in cardmaking whenever I could. I know I’m a happier person when I have time to craft so that’s my resolution for the year.
My goal is to utilize my small space more efficiently and organize better so that I actually have room to stamp! 🙂
I resolve to give away more of what I make! Selling some would be good too!
I would like to use every single product I buy. I am such a supply hoarder! Actually, I am pretty good about using all my stamps, but there is nothing sadder than a set that has never seen ink!
I would also like to be generous and give the products that don’t get any love away to others who would be blessed by them.
My resolution is to get my craft supplies more organized. I also need to spend less time working and more time crafting 🙂
I don’t make resolutions–much too easy to break!–but I definitely want to be more organized. So my goal is to better use all the wonderful supplies I have and get cards made before that ‘last minute rush’! I want to create more and buy less! It is just so tempting with all the fabulous new stuff being released but I’ll try!!
My goal is to find better storage and organization solutions so that I actually have room to stamp in my tiny space. I’d also like to make at least one card per week. 🙂
My resolution for the new year is to make more cards and to finish organizing my craft room!
I haven’t got a crafty resolution as such, but hope to make pretty much all the cards I send to people (i.e. not buy any) this year as I did last year. Great release once again!
My resolution is to really clean out all that is in my craft room. I was in a fierce “collectors” mode for so long that I have some stamps and supplies that haven’t made it into completed projects.
Mine is simply to take the time to make more things! Easier said than done… 😉
I have a couple-make 8 or more Christmas cards each month so they are all finished before Thanksgiving and to use all those chipboard letter sets I have leftover from kits I’ve purchased over the years. I need to make room for more stamps and dies!
My resolution is to try to put myself and my crafting higher on the list every day this year. I always put myself last at the expense of myself for the good of others and therefore never have anytime to refresh my own spirit. This is a very hard concept for me.
That is my New Years Resolution!
My resolution is to use what I have, buy only what I will use. If there is something I will not use, then I will find someone who will. I Have already shipped 4 boxes of stuff to friends. I volunteer at the Youth Center in town and bring lots of stuff for the kids to use. We are going to do altered notebooks soon.
[I’m not sure my comment went through – the verification code didn’t come up.]
I will purge, share, donate, discard, and organize!
My craft resolution this year is to submit for publication more. It is so fun to read the different calls & come up with creative ways to use my supplies.
To try and stay more organized. Good luck !!!!!!!
My crafting resolution is to create with confidence. I always worry that my cards don’t look as good as others, or that I am not as good as some people. This year, I plan to just have confidence in my creations and just do what I do!
My craft resolution is to have my Christmas cards done by Thanksgiving!! Also to get out of my comfort zone and try some new techniques.
Send out more cards to brighten somebody’s day and to be an encouragement to them! Thus using more of my “stuff”!
My resolution is definitely to make more cards, blog more cards, and get published!!
I am doing an art journal for the first time this year. My goal is to make an entry every day, be it journaling or playing.
My crafty resolution this year is to just not give up! I used to get in a craft-funk and set it aside for a while — this year I plan to stay focused and search for inspiration wherever I can find it. PapertreyInk never lets me down! 🙂
I want to clean my craft room and resolve to put things up when I finish a project. I would be organized, if I would just put things up when I finish. I would then be able to find things when I need them on the next project. What a wonderful release.
My craft resolution is to organize my craft room better so I know what products I already own, so I do not end up with similar items…oh yes, and of course to spend more time crafting!
My craft resolution is to stay caught up in my Project Life book and to use my stamps & pretty paper in it more (so I can justify buying more!). Ü
I do have one – start scrapbooking. That was the reason I started paper crafting and have not made a single page yet.
Maybe not so much of a resolution (that word puts too much pressure on me), but to challenge myself to enter more contests. I really believe I could compete but need a little more confidence to at least try. Thanks for the chance to get more PTI goodness.
As in other years, to organize my craft room. This year it also includes purging…..that is the only way to get my important things organized. We moved last year and so many things are still boxed up….I probably don’t need any of those things. Here’s to 2012!!!
My resolution is to work on 10 Christmas cards each month so I am ready for Christmas 2012!
My resolution for this year is to make sure I use all the stamps that haven’t seen ink yet. Hopefully I will be able to do this before the year ends. LOL
My resolution is to give away some products I dont use and clean my scraproom!
I resolve to take a few hours each week to create. Even when things are busy, I will make the time. I need it to recharge, and it makes me so happy. And that means I will give more handmade gifts to friends and family and make them happy… it’s a win/win 🙂
I am just like that 🙂
In 2011, I made several homemade Christmas cards and sent them to special friends and family. This year, my craft resolution is to start making my cards earlier and send more of my creations to people I love.
My resolution is to SEND cards, lots of cards to friends. To lay off creating magazine-perfect creations and just make cards that the people I love will really enjoy. Then to get inky and create with all my heart.
I resolve to make 10 Christmas cards each month so I am ready for christmas 2012
My craft resolution is to do more layouts, and to be more selective in what I purchase.
To do something creative every day. Thanks for the chance to win!
My craft new years resolution is to get rid of things I am no longer using. I want to organize my space so that I actually know where everything is!
My resolution would be to continue with doing what I love and hopefully get published at some stage! 🙂
I saw some youtube videos of people doing papercrafts during the Christmas holidays. I was inspired to start collecting and already have some project ideas. My New Years Crafting Resolution is to make time for papercrafting because so far (the two weeks I’ve been doing it) I find it a very good time to forget about everyday stuff.
Thanks for the inspiration.
My resolution is to combine past stamp sets with newer stamp sets. I want to really push myself creatively by incorporating different stamp and die sets together.
Make more cards, stay up on project life, organize scraproom, and keep telling my families stories!
My resolution is to use my collection of supplies in new ways. I am going to try to incorporate them in more home decor projects this year. I want to get back into crafting like I used too.
My resolution is to combine past stamp and die sets with current ones. I want to push myself creatively to incorporate all that I have together.
My resolution is to organize!! Find a place for everything and put everything in it’s place. This way more time is spent creating and less time searching!
To enjoy the process of creating, minus the stress.
To make a card every 5 days or so with my family, just to keep my creativity juices all fresh, because you don’t always have to keep all the fun with yourself.
To enjoy the process of creating, minus the stress.
My craft resolution is to sort through, organize, and give away any supplies I’m not using. Hopefully, with everything organized, it will make crafting much more enjoyable.
I really want to get back in the creative groove this year, I have so mch stuff it would be great to use it all again.
My resolution is to use more of my supplies and to make more cards.
To start using all new techniques I’ve learned this last year, to make other people see that crafting isn’t just a “girly stuff” but a creative way to keep ourselves entertained
My resolution is to spend less time on the net & more time in my craft room creating.
To try some new crafting techniques and styles such as distressing
My resolution is to organize the sentiments in my studio. I spend way too much time now looking through my sets for the perfect message. PTI has created so many wonderful sentiments. Maybe PTI could create a list? Bet it would be a good seller! Thanks for another great release!
My resolution this year is to get my Christmas cards all made BEFORE December arrives. I don’t want to be stressed about cards during the allready busy season. I would also like to use some of my older (forgotten) stamps and perhaps pass on some that I don’t use anymore. Thanks for are the inspiration this week.
My resolution is to either start using stuff I already have or get rid of it. In the same spirit, if I purchase something new and don’t use it in the first year, it needs to go. I don’t want to be a collector. I want to be a doer.
MY resolution is to continue to craft and experience the great pleasure and joy that I get from it. I wish to craft like no one else is watching. If not…I’ll just dance. 😉
My craft resolution is to do more tidying up between projects. I often get down to about 12 square inches of working space on my table, with stuff piled up around me, and I think it’s been cramping my creativity.
Thanks so much for the chance to win the fantastic January Release!!!
My resolution is to organize my studio. I have a lot of craft goodies that never get used because I can’t find them when I want. Thanks to all the wonderful crafters who post organizational ideas, I know what to do – it’s just a matter of rolling up my sleeves and diving in!
My crafting resolution is to start using my design paper I have been hoarding and become more organized. I think I also need to give away what I don’t use. Thanks for a chance to win!!!!
My resolution for 2012 is to get better organized with my work room. I’ll no doubt have a ton more supplies than I thought I did beings I’ll be able to access it all! Here’s hoping!!
Thanks for the chance and here’s to a great year for all of us!!!
I have two craft resolutions.
Craft more!
Get published in a magazine!
My resolution is to use all my beautiful supplies to wrap gifts and make gift tags, not just cards! There are so many ideas out there, and products like the new front and center dies and the mat stack collection make it easy!
My resolution is to make a card a month. Now that my boy is about to be a year old I have managed to find more time. Thanks to the PTI make it Monday challenge I am already right on schedule!
I’d like to make and send more cards.
My goals include making at least one layout a month and to keep up with making birthday cards for my immediate and extended family, despite being a full-time mom and student.
My craft resolution is to get out of my box and try new things, like one stamp set 3 ways. I also want to use supplies up to make room for the new stuff!
My resolution is to use my design paper I have been hoarding and become more organized. I think I also need to give away what I don’t use. Thanks for a chance to win!!!!
My resoultion is to organize and stay organized. And, always take time to create. Love Papertrey and all the wonderful designers.
My resolution is to organize all of my crafting supplies once and for all and to complete all the projects that I have started.
My resolution is to keep all my Papertrey well organized so I can find anything I need quickly. This way I can make the most of my crafting time, since I seem to reach for my Papertrey first when I start a new project 🙂
For some reason my comment is showing up so I’m trying again.
The resolution question is a great one since I just made a promise to myself to have a stockpile of cards on hand this year and not wait until the last minute before needing them. I’m going to start on Birthday and Sympathy since those always seem to be the most needed.
I am going to be moving this year, and going from a craft room to a craft carry bag. So my resolution this year is to not let the lack of convince and space, stop me from card making. Thanks PTI for the chance to win, I really hope it’s me.
My resolution has been to stay organized and take inventory of what I have. So far so good but I have to keep it up! 🙂 Thanks for yet another wonderful release – so many gorgeous creations and so much beautiful inspiration.
My craft resolution is to just do more of it! 🙂 I also hope to do more scrapbooking and I want to be able to play with new techniques/ideas without being too critical of myself.
I would like to send more friendship cards rather than just birthday or get well cards. I would also like to have a ready supply of children’s cards which are always a challenge for me.
My resolution is to get rid of the crafty stuff that I haven’t used in a long time and maybe donate them where they can be more useful. 🙂
I resolve to organize & inventory what I have so I stop buying duplicates!
I also am going to try my best to actually “make Cards & SB pages” instead of just surfing the web learning how too!!! LOL!
I tend to play more than I produce. My goal is to produce “giveable” cards.
I want to make cards every week (at least one every week)… I find there are times when I go through droughts of crafting time, and it’s always harder to get my mojo back…. I hope that keeping up with my cardmaking will keep me dialed into my own creativity.
My crafty resolution is to go through all my crafty goodies and start showing some love to my oldie but goodies! Plus, to be ahead on all my DT commitments! 🙂
To finish up all my knitting and crocheting projects. And, no new yarn until all projects are complete!!
My craft resolution would be several things : 1) Make time to scrapbook and make cards 2)Organize my scrappy stuff 3)Kind of have a side business with the stuff I make…..need I go on?
Every Year my resolution is the same. Get organized! and every year I fail. Maybe this year will be better.
My craft resolution would be to do less looking on the internet and do more creating! I always “oooh and ahhhh” over all these creations I see, but never make any of my own!
Most definately to ink up all the stamp sets I have yet to open…and, of course…to buy more stamps sets! Seriously though, I have so many sets that I fell in love with when I saw them, but haven’t found the time use them. I would like to try to find some more “me” time in my days to allow me to do more of what I love!
My goal is to purge and organize my supplies do that I can be more productive!!
My resolution is to get in my room and actually MAKE some projects, and not keep buying and looking online!! I have MUCH to scrapbook and need to get busy!!
I need to reorganize and purge my stuff. Also use what I already have!
I would like to set up an actaul craft space. Right now I use the ding room table and up with stuff everywhere! I would also like to try and do crafty stuff more often. I’m a CPA and usually get really busy the first few months of the year and don’t have time and then have so much other stuff to do that I don’t really get going on the craft stuff again until the holidays.
I have at least 3 “craft” related resolutions…surf less, create more. Continue to create and sell cards and handmade items to benefit cancer research. And to buy less and shop my stash!
My goal this year is to keep my craft area organized. If I clean up when I am finished with a project and keep everything where it should be, it will be easier to get started when I have the time!
mine is PL on a weekly recap – try to do something every week and make it a memory keeper.
I would have to say it is the same as in my general life…to get, and stay, organized. My craft area/dining room has been a state of disaster for way too long! IT is time to take charge!!! 🙂 Besides, with 5 children and them ALL loving to craft, I need to get things put away and organized! BTW, I LOVE all the new stamps AND dies!!!! WOW, you guys really nailed it this month!

I would like to minimize my stuff and send out one card per week. Keeping my ears open to someone needing encouragement is my plan for the new year. 🙂
My resolution is to get over my fear of stamping…lol. Love them, collect them…rarely use them!!! 🙂
I have a craft resolution and I actually started today! I went through everything in my craftroom and started to pull out things that I bought and love, but need to actually see them to use them. I also, put together a huge pile of crafting supplies that I no longer use to donate. My resolution for the year is to simplify and stay organized. I feel so good tonight that I actually got alot done today!
I would like to index all of my stamps, inks, dies, etc. so I know what I have and create faster and more easily. I spend too much time looking for stuff!
I’d love to send out at least one card a week. Keeping my ear open to someone needing encouragement is my goal for the year.
I would like to get an actaul craft space going. I would also like to craft more, since I seem to so it mostly during the holidays.
My craft resolution is to make more cards and give more of my homemade cards to my loved ones.
I want to ink up more of my sets! I seem to spend too much time organizing and not enough time creating.
My 2012 craft resolution is to stop doubting what the end result will be and just create…getting out of my own way is always the hardest part!!
Organization, organization, organization! Now that I am retired, I am beginning a new phase in my craft life in a new, bare-bones room and I’m so excited to discover all the treasures that have been lost from my view! First on my list(of course!)is to put my Papertrey items (my favorite of favorites)where I can easily put my fingers on them!
My craft ‘goals’ this year are to actually get some scrapbooking done and to clean, purge and organize my craft room so that I actually have some space to layout projects and complete them! Right now, it’s a disaster!! Thank you for the chance to win. Love the stamps this month.
I resolve to start stamping more background paper instead of buying more patterned paper. Of course, I also need to use a larger fraction of the paper I already own.
Make more cards and actually SEND them. Trust my own intuition as to what my style is. That’s a pretty big order. Thanks for all the inspiration.
I’ve received so many lovely cards from crafty friends this past year and have only sent one or two out myself so this year will be The Year of Sending Cards!
I would like to finish unpacking and organizing my craft space, and of course make more time for crafting, paper and otherwise. I love collecting ideas and trying new techniques, thanks PTI gals for all of the inspiration!
My resolution is go through all my old stamp sets and use one of them each week. There are lots of good ideas there.
My resolution is reorganize all my crafty supplies and make cards well ahead of time!!
I want to finish reorganizing my craft room (almost done!) and then make more cards that I actually send to people, gift card sets as gifts, and also to enter some calls for submission and try to finally get some published!
My resolution is to go through my older stamp sets and use one at least once a week. There are lots of great ideas there.
I would have to say clean out my supplies that I am not using, stay more organized and have fun!! The most important buy more PAPERTREY!!!!!! Love ya!
My resolution is to submit for publications even if a keep getting rejected just submit, never know one day I will get published. Fabulous release for January 2012 – looking forward to it.
My resolution is to get a little more organized and do some crafting at least 3x/week when I am not working so that I am not putting cards together last minute.
My resolution is to create more things that I *LOVE* and not just things I’m happy with.
In 2012, I would like to finish all my WIPs (works in progress) and not have them hanging over my head. Crafting will be that much more fun with the additional space!
Yes, my resolution is to take at least 2 hours a week for just ME to have play time in my craft room! My son is recovering from a major surgery & I need time to recharge & one of my favorite ways is by making cards or working on some of my Project Life scrapbook album. Thanks for another great release PTI!!! 🙂
My resolution is to create. I often don’t make as much as I want to and I am making the time for myself at least once a week to make something. But I am making for others. This week I am making cards and a tote to put them in along with stamped envelopes for a friend who had our family over for dinner tonight. After that I am making for my aunt and then for other friends and family as gifts and thank yous. I hope I win because otherwise I am going to have to scrimp and save so I can get almost the whole release! Love this month’s items!
My goal for this year is to create an abundance of all occasion cards early on in the year. In years past, I never seem to have any on hand and end up having to buy a card (shame on me!). And with so many wonderful supplies on hand, there should be no excuse!
My goal is to share more of my cards with others and to spend some quality stamping time with my daughter and grandchildren.
My resolution is to use my sewing machine more in my card-making. I love card-making and sewing, but I often feel like I’m neglecting one for the other. I used my sewing machine’s decorative stitches on felt cutouts using the Merry and Bright dies this past year, and I would like combine my two loves like this in the coming year so I can make the most of both of them!
This has been one of the best releases ever! I can’t imagine what you have in store for us next month! My goal for 2012 is to maximize my craft time by mass producing birthday cards. Not only will cards be ready way before the send date but I am also hoping this enables me to have more time for holiday and home decor projects.
I’ve spent the last year collecting (ok, hoarding) a HUGE amount of paper, stamps, dies, etc so my resolution this year is to actually USE them! 🙂
I would like to have a stash of cards for different themes. I always feel like I am making my cards as I need them (and for some things that’s ok), but I’d like to spend a day per month stocking my stash with cards I make for FUN as opposed to NEED!
This past holiday season was a whirlwind of crafting for me. I felt so centered and peaceful and definitely “in the pocket.” I realized that even a moment of crafting every day helps me relax and feel more able to cope with whatever life throws my way.
I hadn’t really thought too much about a crafting resolution, but I guess it would be to use the “consumable goods” that I already have (patterned paper, alpha’s, etc…) before buying more so that I have more money to spend on tools and other “non-consumables”. Wish me luck – I seem to have an addition to patterned paper and ALL PTI products! 🙂
My craft goal this year is to learn many new techniques that I see all over the blog world and this blog! I just love learning new things!
I think I’d like to make a variety of cards, package them up nicely, and donate them to an adult home. My dad was in a facility, they didn’t get to shop often, but he always enjoyed giving cards. I’d like to share my passion of cardmaking with them.
Scrapbook more. Clean out my craft room and donate what I don’t absolutely love!
To not just hoard my stamps and supplies, but actually use them!! I have so much fun dreaming of what kinds of cards I’m going to make, but don’t actually get around to making as many as I want.
My “goal” for this year is enter some card making challenges. I am always so worried that my work is not good enough so I never enter anything. I guess I need to be less critical of myself!
I hope to be able to spend a little time each day doing something creative.
My Crafty Resolution would be to finally get caught up on my Scrapbooking…and would love to get published! Still working on that one! Thanks for a chance to win!!!
I would say I alreay took care of my crafting resolution. I cleaned up and organized my supplies. Finally all my scraps are together and ez to get to so I can use them first.
I definitely will have to scrap more and also get the scrap room more organized!
My craft resolution is to try out new techniques. I’ve been dying to use items like mists and Copics but feel so overwhelmed when I think about getting started with them that I never even try. It’s time to just dig and have fun with it!
I have two. I want to get birthday cards made and sent for all of my family members (one of the reasons I love Think Big Favorites #12), and I want to actually get some scrapbook pages done for my son – at least one layout a month.

I have so many craft resolutions for the new year! I would love to be better about sending out handmade cards for everyone’s special occasions! I used to be so good at this and have fallen behind and *gasp* sent out bought cards. I will do better this year 🙂
My craft resolution is to catch up with my scrapbooking. I also resolve to SEND more cards this year. At least five per month.
I resolve to go through my studio and streamline it. It’s time to get rid of the old and make room for the new!
My craft resolution is work on getting more organized so I can see what I really have and Use it. Only want to stick to craft shopping once a month. That’s going to be the hardest one.
My oldest daughter moved out in December and I am finally getting that craft room I have always wanted. My resolution is to keep it neat and get myself organized!
My craft resolution is to expand my stamping technique knowledge and hopefully create some neat ideas of my own. My first task is tackling VersaMark ink.
I resolve to streamline my studio. It’s time to get rid of the old and make room for the new!
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.
My resolution is to spend more time crafting! Also to use those items that I have been saving for that “perfect project.” This is the year to use it I think =)
My craft resolution is to go in my craft room every week to create something. Last year if felt like crafting was feast or famine. I want make time for myself and enjoy all my PTI goodies.
I really want to be brave and actually put at least one card in my etsy shop this year!
My craft resolution is to scrapbook more! I really need to get caught up!!
I would love to start scrapbooking. I make cards, but not pages and I really really want to try pages.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Giovana
My craft resolution, is twofold… first to stamp more because I enjoy it so much and love to feeling I get passing cards on to others, and second, to get more organized in my craft space so that I can accomplish the goal of stamping more!
My craft goal is to ink up my stamps more and to ink up the new stamps before the next release.
My craft goals are to sit down and be creative a little more often and to try different techniques!
My craft resolution is to start up my new Etsy business now that I have stocked up on PTI stamps and dies.
I’ve already begun working on my craft resolution. It is to organize my things so that I can get creating again. I need an organized space and to know where my items are so I can find them quickly.
My craft “resolution” is to spend less time flaked in front of the TV or laptop after work & dinner and more time inmy craft room (or at least doing something in front of the TV). Wonderful release.
I resolve to learn how to use all the functions on my new sewing machine! And to make a stash of cards, instead of having to scramble to make one for an occasion the next day!
Stamp more! And organize (oye!)!
My crafty resolution…to make cards to keep on hand for when I need them at a moments notice. It’s hard for me to do that because I like to make a card tailored to each recipients color preference and personal style. Oh, and to use what I already have!!!! Thank you for the chance to win such an awesome prize!!
My resolution is to purge, order more PTI and really step outside my comfort zone. I have seen so many beautiful ideas and really want to try them. Also want to scrapbook more using my PTI dies!!
To make more things for my nephew and to get a little etsy shop going!
This is the year I hope to focus (& get caught up!) on my scrapbooking. I also need to make a concerted effort to use what I have, or pass it on to someone who can use it.
My resolution is to be able to learn to color, both with comics and with prisma color pencils.
My craft resolution this year is to “start”…I always have grand intentions of craft things I want to accomplish, this year I’m going to actually start doing them!
So many beautiful, amazing items in this months release. Cant wait for the day when I am able to start utilizing your “want it all” button!
My resolution is to learn to color, with prisma color pencils and copics
I am going to make more of an effort to submit my cards for possible publication.
Thank you for the opportunity to win these wonderful products.
My resolution is to put the finishing touches on my studio and to get better organized. I also want to make sure I create EVERYDAY!
My craft resolution is to purge andcthen reorganize everything into bins!
My craft resolution would have to be to scrap more pages…
I have two: get my Christmas cards done before summer ends & organize the pages I have done for my son’s scrapbook!
My resolution is to keep my cards simple so that I can reach my goal of sending everyone handmade birthday cards 😉
Catch up on all the card making and scrapbooking that I need to do!
To get more organized
My craft resolution this year is to add to my die collection! Honestly, I have very few dies and love what they can do, so shopping I plan to go!
My resolution for the new year is the discipline of work. I want to be more attentive and always searching for more and more.
Amazing post! Thanks a lot for sharing.
You are all so talented and creative … thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you for the information, the article is very well-written.
