I am a brand new cardmaker/papercrafter. I became interested in this hobby several months ago while browsing through Pinterest looking for wedding ideas for my daughter. Planning her wedding consumed most of my spare time but I was able to do a lot of shopping on my iPad while laying in bed at night. I now have probably one of the BEST stocked craftrooms imaginable and the wedding was last week – so now I am FREE! I am going to take time for me and craft away!! Thank you so much for all of your wonderful, inspiring ideas! Let the fun begin!!!

I want to use Spook Manor and make treats for my coworkers and friends with darling toppers!

To use what I buy and only buy what I’m really going to use! Let’s see how long that lasts…
Will I ever clean my craft room? A purge? I think a more realistic goal is to prep my card making classes in advance….
i have an order for 60 cards (a shop where i sell) – so really need to get going on that!
My biggest goal is to finally try a large sized mixed media canvas – using my stamps, inks, paints, papers, and more, on a large scale!

I want to get a head start of Christmas cards this Fall and carve out some time to play with watercolors and some acrylic paints (maybe try some mixed media . . .)
To get back into card making and Stamping. I, sadly lost the crafting mojo…. I still occasionally scrapbook but haven’t made a card in months. I even (gasp) bought a card the other day. It is sad, I really miss it. I am hoping in the fall the mojo returns and I feel like making Christmas cards to send out to family and friends.
My biggest crafting goal for fall and actually for this whole year has been to learn new techniques. Mini goals are to stretch outside my normal comfort zone, try new things and then repeat until I’ve figured things out. The waste basket has gotten more attention this year but that’s okay because I’m learning what works and what doesn’t. I’m surprised at how much I’ve learned already: foiling, stencils, distress ink tricks, watercolor, repeated ink stamping, just stamping in general. Lots still to learn!
I would love to learn to color and shade. Use Copic markers and water coloring. I have so much that I would love to accomplish paper crafting….
to finish unpacking and setting up a permanent home for my crafting space. My goodies have been in storage and I miss using them.
Lots of cards – birthday, Halloween, and Christmas. Also time to get back out the knitting needles and yarn and whip up some hats for Christmas presents.
To move my craft supplies from a one counter utility room to a spare bedroom.
I will be making a holiday banner, as well as some ornaments for my kids to get them started on their own Christmas trees.
I’d like to build up a BIG stash of greeting cards of all kinds. I never seem to have just the one I need.
It’s always fun planning projects with the grandchildren! We have a fairy garden, and set out furnishings of twigs and acorns, anything handy scattered outside. Their imagination is endless! I don’t think finishing is an option. It’s a labor of love and a work in progress.
Because I appreciate autumn and the harvest, I am inspired to give more to others this fall, whether it be a card or homemade bread nicely wrapped and decorated. Thanks Papertrey Ink designers for ideas.
I would love to actually make card sets as gifts for everyone!
My crafty goal for this fall is to make some card sets to give as gifts for Christmas.
Now that I’ve seen a peek of Erin’s kit, I will be making gifts for Christmas with that!
Crafting a handmade Christmas and jumping back into scrapbooking are at the top of my list for Autumn! ♡
I have two quilts to make and need to get back to scrapbooking. Do I fit them into stamping, or stamping into them? 😉
I’m hoping to make more cards to send out for encouragement and possibly start a blog.
I would love to create a video of me making a card!!
I want to finish my 2014 pocket-scrapbooking album, make our Christmas gift tags and our Christmas cards.
Get organized so I can use more of my wonderful PTI crafty goodness. Use one or more PTI products on every project I make.Your paper is such a fine quality, it makes everything look so much nicer. I just want to use my stash!!! And enjoy what I’ve worked hard to purchase.
Purge unused supplies to make room for more. haha
My goal is to get back to my crafting room. Family and work responsibilities have left little time and no positive crafting energy mojo to papercraft or quilt. However, with some vacation time in July I did some reorganization in my craft room and now just need to get back there. I want to start organizing and scrapbooking some photos, get back to my PTI card-making nights and start a quilt for my younger son. We’ll see how far I get. LOL!
My goal is to get all my Halloween and Christmas cards made in a timely matter so I can enjoy the holidays without rushing to get everything finished.
I would like to get a head start on my Christmas cards and have a few birthday and sympathy cards on hand.
Over the next few months I would like to actually do some craft rather than just read blogs about it!
My daughter is going off to college and one of my goals this fall is to create some fun, themed care packages! The new release is PHENOMENAL and I can think of so many fun ways to use the new goodies for my daughter!!
I am a teacher, so fall is a big period of adjustment and less “free time” as school starts and things get busy. My fall crafting goal is to be in my craft room once a week. Whether that means two hours on Saturday morning or ten minutes one weeknight after my kids go to bed. Crafting is good for my peace of mind, and I need to plan times to do it. I get sad and cranky when I have been too busy to create.
To actually use some of my crafting items I’ve been getting all year around (so far) and getting Christmas cards done at least one month ahead.
To keep stamping as ‘physical therapy’ for the shoulder surgery I had yesterday!
Completely reorganize my crafting area!!
SEND some of the cards I make. Not just make them and forget to send them:(
I am going to concentrate on ONE goal only….get started on those darn holiday cards BEFORE the holidays arrive!!!! Aaarrrggghhhh…
This release was so much FUN! Lots of inspiration. My goal this Fall is to start stamping more. Now that all of my kids are in school, I will have a little more free time.

My biggest goal this fall is to work on my Christmas cards and have them finished by Thanksgiving.
My crafty goal is to complete our vacation album. I have pictures piled up from 8 years ago and I am determine to have these memories organized.
I’ve been sending handmade Christmas cards to friends and family for almost 10 years. I always make several test designs before choosing one to mass reproduce, and a few extra one-of-a-kind cards to use for delivering gift cards, cash and whatnot. Last year, I realized that I had built up a decent stash of test designs and extra one-of-a-kind cards, so I decided to send every person on my list a different card (I only had to make five or six cards to make sure everyone was covered). As my family and friends visited each other over the holidays, I was surprised to find that they were searching through each other’s card displays to find my creations … some even began commenting on how much they had enjoyed the card that I had made “just for them.” It was such an unexpected bit of fun during a stressful season, and it really made everyone feel special (myself included). I’ve already started making one-of-a-kind cards to do the same this year. My goal is to have them all done in time!
I am going to finish a mini scrapbook of our summer vacation to Washington DC.
I make fall treats for all my boys teachers and school support staff. I decorate them with cute fall tags. That will be my goal within the next month…my most favorite time of year!
Now that Operation Write Home has closed up shop I would like to make up a batch of cards and donate them to my local senior center and then, of course, I need to make my own Christmas cards before the last minute.
One of my biggest crafting goals is to create a blog to share my work.
My goal is to finish organizing my craft room. I spent a lot of time this summer purging and organizing. I have a few more big organizing projects to do (stamps, dies) and I am done. After everything is put in it’s place (for now) I can finally decorate the room and get to crafting. Can’t wait to be done. The amount of “stuff” you can accumulate is amazing. BUT there’s always room for more (don’t tell me husband!)….
I have a rag quilt I’d like to make this Fall and also finish an afghan I’ve been knitting FOREVER (at least it feels like forever!!). And maybe reorganize my craft room! :0)
Besides getting my Christmas cards done and in the mail, I am going to make quilts for my twin grandsons. Got to get started!
This fall I definitely want to organize my craft room and then make Xmas cards for all the neighbors.
To make some cards and small gifts for fall and Christmas.
My biggest crafting goal is to get my new craft room set up and CRAFT! I have stuff scattered across the house right now – stuff in the basement in my old craft area that I have a difficult time getting to. Stuff in the dinette that was moved there this winter after I broke my foot so I could get a little crafting done. Stuff already moved to my new craft room upstairs that I can’t get to because I need to finish removing kids stuff they no longer want and get that room painted! Why am I still sitting here?!
I want to get more organized. Especially with my dies. I also want to enjoy some time creating with my stitching dies.
My biggest crafting goal this fall is a redesigned studio! I have purchased IKEA Expedits and Alex Carts and hope to create an inspirational space for papercrafting!
My fall project is using the many bolts of fabric I have acquired to make pillows and aprons.
One of my biggest crating goal this fall is to use more of my growing collection of stamps! I am a little afraid of stamping, so I want to learn more about the process and techniques and really have fun with them!
To get back into scrapbooking and finish an album I have had sitting, and scrapbook a big vacation I took this year.
I need to get startedn my Halloween projects. I am just getting my room reorganized and anxious to get in there and work.
One of my biggest goals for the Fall is to make my various drink mixer concoctions along with paper craft recipe cards. One year, I had sometime off work and I really enjoyed making this ginger syrup that I bottled myself with these adorable cocktail recipe cards. I used all my scrapbooking and stamping supplies and I was immensely proud of the project. I really want to take sometime for me- de stress from work and do something with my hands.
To get my Halloween cards done in September, to get my Thanksgiving and Christmas cards done in October. I think and plan my cards, but start way tooooo late so only get a few completed before the holidays.
To get my custom calendars (with stamps and dies) to send with holiday cards done early so I’m not under so much pressure with all the other holiday festivities.
my biggest crafting goal is to design and make my daughters wedding invitations, a big undertaking but super excited to do them!
To finish some signs and crafts for my daughter’s wedding!!! Make some really sweet Christmas cards and ornaments. And to use my Silhouette Cameo more!!!
#167 I mistyped my email address 🙁 sorry! I hope that didn’t disqualify me.
My biggest goal is to make more time TO craft… I only ever make something when I need to, not just sit and create.
Because i will be homeschooling two and chasing an 11 month old around we are keeping it simple: one card a week and keep up with a digital scrapbook!
I have lots of goals, not enough time. Right now I’m trying to catch up on scrapbooking the grandkids. I did better when Heather was releasing the Monthly Moments series, but now I’m terribly behind!
Try to somehow keep a clean, workable desk space! I seem to craft in a 10 x10…inches, that is, space.
One of my biggest crafting goals for this Fall is preparing & crafting for a “Fall Fest” to gather our rural folks in Hollister and welcome new neighbors!
Is to actually get my Christmas cards done! I got half way through with them last year and got too busy to finish them. It was the first time in as long as I can remember that I didn’t send out Christmas cards! Ugh! I guess at least I have a head start this year though ?
I would like to make some time to do something creative every day!
To have my Christmas card done and ready to send…
to get my Christmas cards started. I am way behind this year
Getting other Dutch people fall in love with Halloween too! I’m sure the really great products that will be released tonight will help to convince my friends and family that we need that holiday over here too!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I have two Autumn crafting goals for this year…to scrapbook our Maine vacation we just returned from and to make my Christmas cards. The later is a big deal for me because I usually run out of time and resort to photo cards and only send my immediate family a handmade card. Wish me luck!
My crafting goal is to have completed 40 handmade Christmas cards and have them addressed by Thanksgiving. I also have 20 more 9-patch blocks to complete before I can put a quilt top together.
to start my Christmas cards before Thanksgiving!
I have two fall goals. One is to finish up organizing my craft supplies. I’ve made great progress but am anxious to get it completed. I also want to accelerate my Christmas card making so I won’t come up short in December. Thanks for all the inspiration this week!
to decide on my Christmas theme early enough to actually carry it through all of my holiday projects. And to have samples ready by mid-October.I love matchy-matchy for the holidays 🙂
I have the pieces to my Halloween card from last year. I hope I get them together in the mail. It’s the pumpkin segment die. Love it, love it, love it!

To get some card sets ready for Christmas gifts.
Get my craft room organized. I seem to always be doing this, I get it close and then purchase more stuff that needs to be stored. LOL
I need to get started on my holiday projects and cards in the fall, or like now! I always wait too long, scramble at the last minute, and stress myself out. GOAL – Enjoy the process!!!
My main goal is to “keep it altogether”. We are moving from the Sierra Mountains to Long Beach sometime between the end of Sept. and the beginning of Nov. All of my “stuff” will be in boxes while I anxiously wait to put my new studio together and get back to one of my biggest loves in life ~ creating and my Etsy shop, and being able to use all my new Papertrey items I’m ordering this month 😉
I would just like to be able to continually craft and not just start something that never gets finished!
My goal for the fall is to make time for crafting. With the start of school for the kids and myself things get super busy, but it’s my favorite time of year for creating!
To get my Christmas cards done before December 1st, make really nice ornaments to give as gifts and make elaborate gift tags for other purchased gifts. Pretty ambitious but Erin’s new holiday stitching kit will make the ornaments fun and easy!
I plan to start and finish all my Christmas gifts before the holiday rush!
Organization! Organization! Organization!

My biggest crafting goal for the fall is to get my Christmas Cards completed.

Wow, what impressive release. I can’t begin to pick a favorite. I love it all. Thank you for sharing with us.
I need to work with my embroidery supplies and use up some of my hoard.
Create Trick-or-Treat bags by end of September and get knitting for the holidays – lots of mittens for the nieces and nephews.
My goal for fall is to start early on my Christmas cards.
We are moving in 2 weeks and I have a very stuffed craft room to pack up and move. So my goal this fall is to get it all unpacked and beautifully organized in my new craft room just so I can get back to making cards again. All this packing is keeping me from getting some well-needed crafting in.
Finish all the Christmas ornaments to give as gifts.
Finish some of my many crafting projects that I have started and are beginning to pile up:) Hoping by switching to sewing projects will help my papercrafting mojo too!
LOVE this release!!! So full of awesome Yumminess ♥
My biggest crafty goal for this fall……spend more time getting crafty. My poor crafty space has been overly neglected the past few months. 🙁
One of my biggest crafting goals is to make it on a design team again. Years ago I was on several and I feel like I’ve been out of the scene for almost too long that I’m “old news”, but it’s something I’d really like to do again.
I would love to have all my holiday cards done by the end of October.
To get my Christmas cards (anywhere from 60 – 100) done before Thanksgiving! Guess I should get started now!
I always like to make something for my house for the fall. A new wreath for the door, something to decorate the inside. I love the fall!
This is such a great release. PTI never fails to amaze and delight. My biggest goal for this fall is to purge and reorganize my craft room.
My goal is actually to cut back and not be stressed… I’d like to use more of my current supplies and de-clutter my craft room… I’d also like to start up a small stamping group at the kids’ school… we shall see. 🙂
My goal would be use items from my stash …. 😉
One of my biggest crafting goals for this fall is to simply create more, to relax and to enjoy it. Thank you for the beautiful inspiration this week – I can’t wait to have my box of new PTI supplies arrive at my door soon!
Catch up on Monthly Moments (I’m working on May still). AND make a shadow box for my granddaughter to be born tonight!

To capture the memories. I would like to set time aside to document the season with my family and actually get photos printed and in some type of album or scrapbook.
Hands down, getting my supplies organized and sorted out after a remodel 2 years in the making. Everything was scattered in boxes and totes and needs a serious overhaul. Has to happen! Before the holidays!
I’m hoping to actually send out Christmas cards again. If I get my cards done inOctober, there’s a much better chance of that happening!

When Operation Write Home closed so did my mojo. It felt wonderful to make cards to fufill a greater purpose. I need to find a need for cards/crafts and start enjoying card making more. I’d love to see PTI make a set geared for the elderly and a set for sick kids.
I’d like to get a jump on holiday projects!!! I say that every year, but maybe I can really do it this year, lol!!!
To make sure I’m working ahead on next years birthday card list as well as have a few cards on hand for special occasions.
To make more handmade Holiday items for family! I tell myself every year that I’ll put all my crafting supplies to good use to do this and I never make the time! I haven’t purchased anything crafty in over 8 months now because of expenses, I love this time of year for releases because you DT genuises always release the most creative new sets! To win a gift certificate would be heaven!

One of my biggest crafting goals this fall is to step out of my comfort zone to work with new mediums and attempt new-to-me projects.
My goal is to get some simple thank you cards done. Some of my students give gifts for holidays, and I have a stash of the $1 cards from Michaels and Target in my desk drawer in my classroom so I can write a thank you right away. I make cards for Christmas gifts, but I don’t have a stash of ones that would work throughout the whole school year.
To REALLY decorate my house for Autumn! Wreaths inside and out, Autumn pillows, curtains, decorations, everything. I have this wall ornament thing-it’s distressed metal and has 5 framed pictures in a wine-country theme, I’m not really into the wine-thing, so I am going to make my own art pieces to put in their places!
To step outside the box and try something new. And, gather more unique embellishments.
Each year my children hand make their Christmas gifts for one another. They can shop for supplies, but that’s it! As they grow their gifts get more meaningful, and complex! We are beginning our plans, and I will spend my fall helping each one of them with sewing, woodworking, paper and glue to put their gifts together. I love the one-on-one time and learning new skills with each of them.
I will make and actually mail Halloween and Christmas cards this year! I promise ?
To finish knitting my daughter’s birthday sweater before her October birthday!
I want to do challenges more and stretch myself with my projects and all my Christmas tags will be done before the end of September! Fantastic release!!!

I would love to get all my Christmas cards done on time 🙂

I would like to finish a quilt I started years ago and get my Christmas cards made early.
I have three goals: making Halloween cards for my niece’s kindergarten class (60 students…which gives me reason to order Halloween products *grin*); making my annual Advent calendar for my niece AND nephew; getting a whole bunch of Christmas cards made for the Christmas Bazaar at the seniors’ residence where my mom volunteers. Proceeds go to her volunteer group. Whew…I need to get started! Thanks for the give-away opportunity!

I want to start making more fall decor items such as a banner to hang up in our living room. I always “think” about doing these kinds of projects but never seem to get around to it!
“To get my studio organized”! My room is a mess from last Christmas. It’s not inspiring to create there, and my workspace is all cluttered, so I bring things downstairs to the dining room table to work on. This sort of defeats the purpose of having a dedicated room to do things in.

To stay organized!
An ongoing goal is to keep my supplies organized so that I can find what I want quickly. And I’d love to get all of your new Quilt series this year and make some cards.

I would like to learn to add shading to my coloring.

i just need to get started again. last year was consumed by the planning and building of our new house and farm and this year, up until this point, has been consumed with moving and settling (sort of…there is still much in the way of decorating to be done) but i just want to craft again so i need to make a block of time a few days a week and just get going. three weeks until school starts and then let the crafting begin!
We rearranged the furniture in my ‘studio’ and hubby put shelves in the closet. Now I just have to get everything sorted and put away 🙂 I also want to finish indexing my stamps (I had no idea I had After all that (if I ever finish) I plan on spending the winter finishing my boxes (really, boxes) of projects.
Stress free Holiday cards – handmade and in the mail 🙂
I’m always working on 10 different things. I get side tracked with new projects. So my fall goal would be to focus on 1 project a week and just get it done! Then maybe Ill be able to keep up with the holidays!
How funny that you should ask! I just realized that I am constantly using Papertrey stamps and my goal is to sell off my stamps from other companies.
My biggest crafting project for this Fall is to get an early start on my Christmas cards…once I see the release next month. Once that’s done, I’d like to make a stash of cards for myself to have in advance and also for people in need. Seems I’m always rushing to get a special card done in a hurry, especially sympathy cards lately.
I need to organize!!
One of my goals this fall is to get my girlfriends together to make Halloween cards. Everyone is so busy we don’t get together very often, which is a shame, because we always have so much fun creating together.

My biggest goal is to for ONCE be ahead of the crafting game, and not RUSH to get it all done!! 🙂
Another FABULOUS month PTI!!!!

My biggest goal is to make some gifts this year. I’m also going to send more Thanksgiving cards. I’m not much into Halloween, but all the Fall products make this one of my favorite releases!
TO get organized!!!!! I know that isn’t ‘crafting’ exactly but I get to my craft room and the creativity is sucked out of me because it isn’t organized and I can’t find things I know I have.

My intent is that they will all have a piece of me and my love for crafting each year on their Christmas tree long after I am gone. So this year, I would like to have these special ornaments crafted before the end of October. My plan is to use the Petite Places mini scenes/Scene It dies. Thanks so much Betsy Veldman for so much inspiration. You have a true gift for creation and design!
My goal for fall is to start my Christmas projects early enough to avoid the last minute rush. Lol
Move my crafting space to a new room!

I have two – get my Thanksgiving and Christmas cards done before the holidays are over, and finish building a very long list of LEGO building the grandsons have requested!

Would love to get my Project Life album caught up and I need to make some cards to replace my stock.

This year, I am making sets of Christmas cards to donate (to fundraisers, charities and family/friends).
My crafting goals are always simply to find joy in crafting a little each day. Dealing with the stressors in everyday life, getting to get in and use my beautiful PTI products truly does bring moments of pure joy,maven if I don’t finish a project.
My goal this fall is to organize my craft room. I’ve already started and am waiting for my ink pad, ribbon and stamp holders to come.
I want to get my Christmas cards done. I have a gift I started for a friend over a year ago – I REALLY want to get that completed and sent to her.

My biggest goal (right now) is to finish last years December Daily! I also really want to make and send homemade photo Christmas cards.

I plan to get my new craft room furnished and organized and maybe even have time to play with some new goodies! 😀 I’m also excited to see what my very first Fall season is like!

I would love to create cute projects for my grandchildren that they could remember in their futures. Using these for photo albums would ensure that.

I’m working toward reorganizing my space to better utilize the area where I craft … it is my guest room so must be kept at the ready! It won’t be long before I start my holiday cards, and the many cards I make for our fall birthdays. How awesome would they be using these gorgeous goodies!

Organize, Organize, Organize.
My crafting goal this fall is to make at least 10 Christmas cards a month so I will have enough to mail in December.
We always have thanksgiving dinner at my sisters house in Orlando. That’s where most of the family is, so it works really well. My sister is always so generous of her home her time and love that I want to do something special for her.
I want to paper craft all of the table decor for her; place cards, menu cards, favor boxes, basically anything I can do to make it special for her would make me very happy!
Christmas cards made, as well as Christmas gifts. I hope to not wait til the last minute this year.
Getting as many PTI products as possible! Then of course organizing and trying new techniques.

One of my biggest crafting goals for this fall is to set aside part of one day each week to craft for fun… not because I need a particular card, but to try something new just for fun!
My goal is to get my creativity back. Because of several medical issues these past few months, I have not been able to be enthusiastic about card making and I seem to botch them up a lot. It’s something I will be working on because it’s my true passion to create beautiful cards to share with family and friends. Your website gives me great joy and I LOVE your products which I have a lot of now.
One of my biggest crafting goals this Fall is to organize my craft room. And keep it organized 🙂
Such a great release. My biggest crafting goal for fall is just to spend some time being crafty- it’s been so long since I’ve spent time in my craft room, I miss it.

My biggest crafting goal is to get my Christmas cards done before November (and actually send them out in time)!
I have 4 grand kids and am waaaaay behind on their albums. My goal is to consistently work on their albums. I just do not want to be working on 18 years of photos during their senior year in high school.
My goals include making boxed sets for the ladies in my visitation group and finishing my fall crafting in time to be able to send Thanksgiving cards. Last year I ran out of time. I’m getting started on them as soon as I receive my package. Love all the new fall items in this month’s release. Thanks to the DT for all the amazing inspiration.

My goal is to actually get ALL my christmas cards finished before December.
My goal is definitely to stamp more. I need to stop feeling inferior to every other stamper and realize that I can do it. 20 years at this “hobby” should count for more than it does. I need to find that lost mojo and this month’s release has helped greatly…
I want to finish the chenille pumpkin that I started last year.

What a great release! I want it all! My biggest goal this year is to send out more cards!
Print photos and get them in albums! I’ve never been a scrapbooker, but I have been feeling the need to get photos printed and put in albums, maybe with some journaling included, something easy that will log the memories without totally overwhelming myself.
Get back to crafting! I haven’t done much crafting since we renovated my craft room as the area still needs yo be organized. Hope to get back to it soon!
I have a family scrapbook to finish and I keep putting it off because I would rather stamp! 🙂
