Seasons Givings Blog Hop + Giveaway!




So thrilled to be part of Latisha's Seasons Givings Blog Hop for the 6th year!  You should have arrived from Wanda Guess' Blog!  I'm sure that Wanda has some awesome eye candy for you!!!

If you didn't pop over here from Wanda's, you'll want to start at the beginning of the hop which is the Lawn Fawn blog!  In case you get lost along the way, the entire hop listing is at the end of my post.

This is a thank YOU for my readers, for stopping by and saying hello!  Thank YOU for inspiring me.

First up, I thought I'd do a run down of my favorite projects I posted for 2017:



























Unlike previous years, I picked less than 50% that have a coffee theme!

I feel so fortunate to have had some awesome opportunities in 2017 and have met some special friends!  

I thought I'd share my 2018 One Little Word:


Small Word = Big Meaning

That means simplifying my life...not putting too much on my plate.  

Whew!  You've made it down this far!  I'm doing a giveaway to express my thanks for the support during 2017!


You'll receive all the Brand New products in the photo.  International Friends are welcome too!

Gorgeous creations and a fabulous prize. My resolution is to include more hand-drawn elements (e.g. backgrounds) on my cards, and to learn calligraphy. Thanks for the chance to win, and Happy New Year :)
Unknown said…
Wow I love how you photograph your creations and how different these are and how you have photographed them too. I need to have some help in how to photograph my projects. I am a new crafters since I had to leave work due to ill health. I have to craft to keep away the dark days and because I am often bed bound I need something to keep my mind busy. You have been very generous in your 'Give-away Prize'. In 2018 my resolution is to use up my current stash of card stock and DSP (SIMPLIFY my stock) and not purchase any more but find projects that they can be used for. So I need to be more creative too! Happy 2018! :O)
Isabel Z said…
Happy New Year! Thank you for inspiring me to create throughout 2017 and here's to more fun in 2018. This year I hope to find more time to create and my resolution is to create at least 10 cards a month.
Teresa Doyle said…
These are all great cards Amy, I was surprised more weren't coffee related, haha. (I love coffee too.)
I am still working on mastering my water colouring...its going to take a while I guess.
Have a wonderful NEW Year.

Wow! What a fabulous beginning for 2018 with all this awesome eye candy! Looking forward to the next 364 days of your creations :)

Thanks for the lovely giveaway!
kReN said…
Happy 2018, Amy! You've gotten us all to think about coffee in new ways and I have enjoyed following your journey. Simplify is a good word for 2018 and I see that many of my goals fit into that category as well. Goals? Practice coloring, simplify my organization of materials, build up my followers, and create with images that make everyone smile like this one! kren @ http://afourthlife.blogspot.com
Susie W. said…
You are so very talented and such a generous person! Your cards always inspire and motivate me to create!
None None said…
One other thing I noticed.... a broader color palette! ;) Is aqua the new green? :)

Happy New Year, Amy!! I wish you peace and happiness this year! Love your OLW - such a great one too!! I haven't given much thought to one this year, but I should. Needless to say, I'm happy 2018 is here as the last part of 2017 was tough. One thing I'd like to work on in 2018 is creating again and finding joy in the little things.
Unknown said…
I want to learn Watercoloring and somehow combine that with brush lettering that I am learning. Thanks for the chance to win and Happy New Year!

Great year! My goal is to use my current stash
Mary Holshouser said…
thanks for the tips on being a No-reply blogger.
It gets so frustrating when you never see who
won a prize - figure the giver never picked
somebody. Spend a lot of time going back to
their post looking for the winner too.
Please let me know if I'm a no-reply blogger.
I don't have a blog - just a facebook page
that I post to. thanks.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Christine said…
My goal is to gently guide hubs to clean out the garage...even if it means I have to be out there with him! Loved seeing your crafty year in review. Thanks for your presence in "blogland" as an inspiring designer!
Debbie Rumpza said…
I'm going to try to stay organized this year and use a planner. I tend to feel guilty about my crafty time, but if I'm organized and finish all the other things during the day I can craft guilt free! (we own our own business that I do the books for, and I have a little farm, plus 5 dogs... so lots to do!) Also my crafty goal is to get better at coloring... thinking about taking the Kit & Clowder coloring class monthly!
Kelly said…
FAB giveaway! "simplify" is a good one. 2018 will be a busy one for me (renovation continues, work, taking grad classes beyond masters to move on pay scale, continuing leasing the card classes for my colleagues etc.) so I'll need to manage my time efficiently. Making time to craft is my happy place! Well, that and COFFEE, lol Happy New Year, Amy! May 2018 bring many blessings to you and your family.
Denise C said…
I want to make art every day. Thanks for your generosity! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Your cards are super cute!

I'd like to get back to card making, scrapbooking, and blogging again this year. Which means I have to take some time out for me. Thank you for the chance to win your fabulous prize. hollysilva911@hotmail.com

I realized after I hit "Publish" that I had not included an email address. It's simply patjandacek@gmail.com. I deleted the entry since there was no way to add to it, and thought I could simply fill that space with my corrected entry. I'm sorry for the unintentional loss of #48. I enjoyed seeing your creations and wish you a Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to you Amy.
How awesome to see you on this blog hop.
In 2018 I want to ink up my still not used Coffee and Tea stamps and make cards with them...for.....you know it...and sent them out tooo.
Happy New Year! This is such a wonderful way to celebrate the New Year – Thank you!
My New Years crafty plan is to learn one new technique per month and to share this in my monthly ‘Build Your Stash’ class, where I encourage others to share their new ideas. I do this card making class for all the events in our lives. We have all created a beautiful ‘box’ where we store our ‘Stash’ cards so that they are easy to find when an event comes up. I love being surrounded by my friends and family and helping each of them to keep their passion for paper crafting alive in their hearts!

cm said…
Amy, I just absolutely love all your cards and, especially, your passion for crafting! You've been such a positive influence and for that: heartfelt thanks! Resolutions: do my pencil colouring class homework *grin*, focus on the things I love about card-making - such as using stamps, dies and ink - and quit stressing about what causes me grief (like water-colouring! So done with that!); send more cards throughout the year. In the non-crafting realm: read more, workout more, smile more, try to be 'calm' more (that's a challenge, trust me!). Thank you for the awesome inspiration today...and every day! Happy New Year! Simplify: I like that!

You make so many fabulous cards I don't know how you could pick just one per month! I love your #onelittleword. This year I would like to build a little stash of cards so I won't have to craft under pressure so much. It's hard when we travel, but that just means some pre-planning. Happy New Year, Amy!
All your cards are so gorgeous ! In 2018 I’m looking forward to set up my craft space.....

I'd like to work on having the cards for that month (birthday, remembering, gratitude) done ahead of time so I have more time to spend coloring, or shading etc.

I will give a big AMEN to your word for 2018! I need to get back on the well organized train so I can find what I have and not waste precious crafting time hunting stuff down.

Once my Christmas crafting money is gone, my plan for 2018 is “create with what you have”. I’m always seeing new products and wanting to duplicate beautiful designs that I see, but this year I’m going to try and not buy more. Just be thankful for all I have, and create from there. Happy 2018!

So many have asked what my resolution is, so I hope that typing it out many times will make me more prone to actually doing it! I want to be more timely about sending out cards and crafting every day to make sure I have the cards to send. Plenty of ideas, but so little time! Thanks for your generosity in participating in this hop and showing us some of your favorite projects; I can see why you love them! I hope you have a wonderful 2018.
