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!!

    Awesome card, Jessica~love the Bokeh 🙂
    No New Year’s “Resolutions” anymore, but at my age I have new goals 😉 This year I plan to increase my weekly gym time from 7 to 8 hours/week; 2nd goal is to purge and organize my craft room~wish me luck on the latter 🙂
    Wishing you a happy new year! Thanks for the chance for your fabulous giveaway prize.

    The last time I made a resolution (it was a few years ago) was to never start a new year with a diet. Its the one resolution I’ve always kept!! LOL! Thanks so much for the chance to win!

    My general goal is to declutter, our entire house needs it. My crafty goals are to make and send more cards and to develop my COPIC and watercoloring skills!

    I want to stamp more this year. I haven’t been able to do that much the past couple of years after a major back injury. This year I hope to use the amazing stamps I have and go out of the house for more than just doctor’s appointments which was all I was able to do in 2016.

    I love the bokeh on your card. My main goal is to create and actually send more cards. I also want to make time to play with the goodies I bought during all the end of year sales. Thanks for the blog candy and the chance to win more crafty goodies. Have a wonderful and prosperous 2017.

    I probably want to achieve too many things in 2017 but one achievable goal is to start reading more novels, a favourite pastime, that I have not done in a long time.
