Seasons Givings Blog Hop



Happy New Year!


Thrilled to be a part of Latisha's Seasons Givings Blog Hop again!

You should have arrived here from Sharon's fabulous blog

If not, you'll want to start at the beginning of this wonderful hop which is the Lawn Fawn Blog!

It's a great way to let you know how much I appreciate you! 

Everybody that is participating in the hop has something to give away, now how fun is that?

Thanks to Kelly, I rushed over to HomeGoods/Marshall's/TJ Maxx after Christmas.  I didn't score like she did, but I did manage to pick up a couple 6x6 Christmas paper pads...excellent.  Here's one that I'm sharing with one of you, along with a spool of Martha twine, a glassine bag and a whole lotta wood veneer!


That's not all, I will also have 2 {Medium USPS Priority/Flat Rate} boxes  of goodies to sling out.  I'm doing a major crafting purge this week and this is my motivation to get it done! ← I got it done and they are chock full of goodness!!
{I organized my laundry room, which has crafty overflow...still much more organizing to do!}

Let's be honest, shall we?
In an attempt to make you actually read my post, I'm going to ask that you tell me in the comment field, what your 2014 crafting goal is or perhaps your 2014 word.
Please also add the US state you reside in or the Country, I will have a separate super fabulous prize for my international friends♡

My 2014 crafting goal is 
to be more technique driven

Commenting for my give-a-ways will be open until Saturday, January 4th @ 11:59 pm pacific.

Winners will be announced on my blog, Monday, January 6th.  Winners have until Sunday, January 12th @ 11:59 pm pacific to claim their prize.

Loved looking at your post Amy! You are one talented chick! My 2014 word is a toss up between 'better' and 'calm'. I want to be better at everything…and I want to be calm doing it? lol..I don't know! So glad I found your blog!!

Heather said…
Ok, that belated birthday card is just too funny! I need to make some of those because I am always late sending out cards! I guess that would be my crafty/life goal for this year: get gifts and cards sent out on time! Happy New Year from Rhode Island!!
My word for 2014 is focus! Love the sweet thank you card!
Hannah said…
My 2014 crafty goal is to get my craft room set up (we moved house last year and my stuff is still all over the place!) and be organised making cards for my friends and family.

Thank you so much for the chance to win - I live in the UK.

Beautiful cards and kids! I really love your Valentine's cards. Cute. My 2014 crafting goal is to make more items I want to make rather than items for everyone else. I live in cold, snowy Nebraska.
Amy C. said…
I hope in 2014 to devote more time to my papercrafting and get organized. I really like your card ideas. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Amy!
My crafting coal is: fight against my illness and still be wonderfully creative!
Cara said…
Happy New Year Amy! I think, like most crafters, my goal is to continue to challenge myself by using up the Scraps & Stash I have taking up space in my craft room!
Thank you for the opportunity to win such nice prizes.
Looking forward to more inspiration in the coming year!

Michelle said…
This is a great blog hop. Its insane. The cards are adorable. My goal for this year (card wise) is to try and utilize what I have because I always go out and buy more and more and then still get stumped.
Gigglls said…
Wow, what a great way to start off the year with an awesome giveaway! Thank you for the chance to win. I love the wood veneers.
Maria said…
Super sweet projects and love the pics tossed in such fun! Thanks for a chance to win!
Janis said…
One of my crafty goals this year is to launch a ladies monthly craft group for our little community. I have learned so much from visiting craft blogs (like yours!!) and would love to share some of the techniques and goodies I have gleaned. Our first meeting is Jan. 14th and I am excited about it.

Loved your recap of 2013 faves. It's so fun to see families of the crafters that I almost feel are like friends, though we've never met IRL! Love your photos and projects.

How lovely of you to offer such generous and wonderful blog candy. Some of my favorite prizes are craft room prunings!!!! You did not try to coerce us into becoming followers in order to be eligible (which I VERY MUCH appreciate!), but I am a brand-new follower by Google Friend, nonetheless. I already follow you by email. Yippee!!

Happy new year! My word of the year is "Organization" it has been 2.5 years since the last time I purged and really cleaned and organized my crafting area, 2014 I've got to get it done! Thanks for chance to win some more goodies!
forpahl5 said…
I am a scrapper and since we have become emptynesters things have slowed down a lot. Now I guess that will give me more time to spend on cards! So I will say be more attentive to my card making.
Sharon in NE said…
I am so glad I found your site(s)! btw love your "java" board on Pinterest. I would say I want to use my time more wisely in 2014 but I'm obviously not off to a good start. I think I'll just say I want to drink more coffee, that way I KNOW I'll succeed. ;)

ajax said…
I love this idea. I like reading what other crafters say about their goals for the New Year. I not only read your blog, adored your favorites for 2013, but I also read most of the comments. Took a while but was worth it. My goal is to either make a card each week, but also learn a new design. I pray I can live up to it. I live in FL, don't know where you are, but hope you are warm. Thanks
Anya said…
Omg! Love your 2013 fave pics! I plan to get my crafting supplies organized in 2014. Happy New Year!!
Denise said…

Saw your link on Stephanie's (Ingenious Inkling) blog. Your cards are terrific and the pics are nice. If I had to pick a fav card, I couldn't. I'm especially lovin' your Sept. through Dec. cards. :) In 2014 I hope to stop worrying about running out of my fav, hoarded, stashed papers and just use them! Heehee! :D (IL, USA)
Anonymous said…
2014 Craft goals... to get more comfortable with my new Silhouette, to actually make things to go along with the classes I take, to spend more time making and less time (well not too much less) reading about making.

Thanks to all you bloggers who continually offer fresh inspiration to the rest of us. I appreciate all of you.
Rachel V said…
My 2014 word is courage. My crafty goal is to have more courage about my own work. I live in the beautiful (and right now very snowy) state of New Hampshire!
Helen F. said…
Oh Amy, your projects are always FABULOUS, thanks for the review.
My 2014 goal is to use rather than hoard my crafty goods
I am sending warm wishes for a Happy New Year from Florida :o)
Glorie said…
My goal is to craft more than I shop :)
What sweet cards - my word for the year is 'trust' - my goal - to be more disciplined with my crafting time.

What a wonderful year in review! I live in Washington, Skagit County, but grew up in King County. My 2014 goal (crafty and otherwise) is to be on time. Applied to my crafty life, that means uploading my projects on time and being prepared for design projects!

AWK! Your cards are so adorable and your children are beautiful! My new years resolution is to have more patience with my own kids. I have an active toddler and a new born and have to say that it takes a lot of energy...but I love being a Mom! Calling out from California to say happy 2014!
Unknown said…
Thanks for your generosity Amy! I'm from Canada, but if I will be picked, I have US mail address.
As for the 2014 resolution - I am just a newbie in cardmaking, but enjoying it very much, and thinking about creating my own blog, so maybe this can be quite achievable, who knows?..
BTW congrats on you joining new DT's, will be looking forward to more amazing projects! Happy 2014:)
Love everything you do Amy! My word was going to be 'frugal', but hey, who am I kidding! So I think I will say 'stretch', because I want to learn how to do more with what I have and want to learn and perfect new techniques! Happy New Year!
Jess said…
Love seeing a collection of projects and that one of your faves was the one you sent to me! Thank you for all the inspiring posts throughout the year. My crafty goal is to keep finding time to paper craft on a daily basis. I have been able to on an almost daily basis for a few months and it makes me so happy!
Oh my, I love your card favorites (Feb 2013 is so cute!) and your kids are beautiful. Just started following your blog on Bloglovin so that I can get some inspiration from you:) My word for 2014: BALANCE.
Denise Bryant said…

I always LOVE humor!!! Besides the fact you are talented! ;) I laughed outloud at the WTF splatter card!! Oh and since I DID read your post....here's my goal/word...

Reasonable. Yep...I have a habit of taking on too much and need to learn to say no oh and of course being more reasonable in craft shopping...yeah well, my hubby would appreciate that! LOL I live in the snowy mountains of Colorado...and I'm cozy right now as it snows outside! LOL

So happy to have you on the hop! Wishing you a Happy New Year!

Heather North said…
After I reply I am going to have to search your blog to find that Space Needle & PNW stamp set. I live south of Seattle,and this would be perfect to put on cards for my friends and family who live in other states/countries. :) My word for 2014 is HAPPY, my goal is to spend time creating things that make me happy and sharing that happiness with others.
amesari88 said…
I love your blog and wouldn't think of not reading all the way through :). I hope to be more organized with dates and special events so that I can have cards done on time. I am always rushing to make cards and I am always disappointed in the way they turn out. That's my crafting goal this year.
doo6300 said…
From IL. Goal is to finish organizing so I shop my stash quickly.
Jessica said…
I just love your cards, they're all so much fun!!! :) I hope to be inspiring in 2014

Happy 2014 and thank you for the awesome giveaway! I am so grateful for all the crafting bloggers who share their creations with me!
wendyp said…
I don't usually do resolutions or pick a word for the year. Guess it must run in the family because my 10 yr old told me on New Year's Day that his resolution for 2014 was to make a resolution for 2015. LOL! My crafty goal will be to get more organized!
Lindsey said…
I know your contest is closed, but I had to comment because I just loved your round up. Your cards have been amazing and I adored that you included favorite pictures of your family as well. You inspire me every time I visit, and I'm so glad to have gotten to know you a bit better over the last year. I'm loving your goals to clean and simplify...some of my goals, too. Thanks for being awesome! :)
Kecia said…

What a great lineup, Amy! So much inspiration in the pages of your blog! Thank you!
Seriously, you are a ROCK STAR! And I opted out of this hop b/c I haven't managed to clean out those drawers... not a single bag 0 for 40.
