2020 Crafty Goal Update

Seaglass 6x6 Pad

2020 has been a difficult year. I have not been able to do the amount of crafting I had hoped to get done this year. I was able to use one whole 6x6 paper pad by Recollections called Seaglass.  Below is my project share video. 

I was able to make 4 3x5 Journals and 30 Greeting cards from the pad.  Before I started making my projects, I looked at the images in the paper to find inspiration for some die cuts. I cut out two different types of flowers, leaves, base of a pocket watch, a scallop circle, and sentiments.  The flowers and leaves where cut from both Grey and White Recollections cardstock and Mint Macroon and Mossy Meadow from Stampin' Up with my Cricut Maker.  The Mint Macroon matched very well with the colors in the paper pad.  I used glitter and white vinyl for the scallop circle and the sentiments.  I found all of the images with my Cricut Access membership. 

I hope you found some inspiration and are able to do some crafting this year. Don't give up on those crafty goals!

2020 Crafty Goals

Why Set Crafty Goals

It is a brand New Year. Time to think about what I want to accomplish before 2021.  I looked at all of my personal goals and decided to separate them by category.  What are my learning goals, financial goals, career goals, and (most importantly) Crafty Goals!  

Why even set goals? They just cause extra stress, right? 

Goals shouldn't been seen as adding stress to your life, but giving you a way to focus your time and energy more effectively. For me, I want to make sure that I using my crafting time in the most effective way for me. Setting goals allows me to have a way to measure what I have done with my time against what I want to have accomplished during that time. Personally, I like to think about my projects and set goals designed to get those projects done.  You can also set your goals based off how much time a week you want to craft or pick a new technique to learn each month.
