Seasons Givings Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAY!)

31 Dec

Lots of giveaways happening on my blog right now!  I’ve got a stamp giveaway here and a $50 gift card giveaway to Simon Says Stamp here and here! 😉  Good luck!! 

Happy New Year!!  I am so excited to be participating in the Seasons Givings blog hop for the first time!  The hop is in it’s 5th year and is the brainchild of the amazing Latisha Yoast!  EVERY stop on this hop is a giveaway and there are A LOT of stops (over 70!)! 😉 We want to thank you, fabulous readers, for a wonderful year of crafty support and friendship!  I am giving away the Concord & 9th Celebrations stamp and die set pictured below!

My giveaway is open worldwide and is open for one week!  Please leave a comment on my blog letting me know if you have a New Year’s resolution and what it is (if you’re willing to share!) before 11:59 PM EST on Saturday, January 7th, 2017!  The winner will be announced on January 8th.

Yesterday I posted a round-up of my favorite cards of 2016 with a separate giveaway that you can find here  but I did want to share one more card with you!  I don’t often make New Year’s cards (I’m usually a little wiped out after Christmas card madness) but I made this card back in September and thought I’d share it again to wish you all a very Happy 2017!

I have a few crafty resolutions for 2017 that I’ll share and one that I’ll keep to myself until December 31st, 2017! 😉 I hope to improve my handlettering, complete at least once video a month, and delve into bujo and decorative bujo! 🙂 And most importantly I’m determined to get more comfortable with shading using copics and colored pencils.  Here’s to lots of crafty success in 2017 to all of us!

Below you’ll find the full hop list!  Have fun hopping and if this is your first time stopping by my blog, I hope you’ll visit again!  You can subscribe to my blog via the widget on the sidebar or find me on YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram!  Have a great day and Happy New Year!!

    My resolution is to purge things I no longer use or need and organize the rest so I can better appreciate it.

    Each year I choose one word to focus on and this year the word is FOCUS! I have so many interests and so many things I want to do, but then many things I need to do, don’t get done! I need to prioritize and limit each category. Focus for 2017! May it be a great year for all of us.

    Thanks so much for your kind giveaway and for being part of this amazing hop. I don’t really do resolutions but I would like to pace my life a bit more slowly this year…2016 was just so hectic!xx

    Love your pretty Bokeh card! One resolution I have is to use colored pencils on Kraft – I love the look but haven’t tried it, and I’m new to coloring.

    My New Years resolution is what a lot of people are doing I think but it isn’t easy to me – stay with a diet and exercise program 🙂

    A fabulous card and some intriguing resolutions that I know you’ll accomplish! As I mentioned in my comment in your previous post, you bring sparkle to my life! This year, my crafting goals include organization and new techniques. Still wrestling with water-colour, so that, too, is on the agenda. Your give-away is incredibly generous (I LOVE C9!!) Wishing you a Happy New Year; may 2017 be filled with wonder and wonderful to the nth degree!

      Bullet journaling! I realized I probably should have not used the abbreviation for that as many people aren’t familiar with it!

    I really don’t have a New Year’s resolution. At 76 I try to stay
    calm and happy. I do want to be able to continue playing
    with paper crafting. Gives me a good feeling to still
    be creative. Love the card. The bubbly is appropriate
    for New years.
    thanks for sharing all year long.
    Happy New Year

    Cute card! My crafty goals are to color more and do some mixed media. And as always, try to clean up the craft room! lol Hope your 2017 is a blessed year! Thanks for the giveaway(s). 🙂 You are always so generous! And it is appreciated.
