Crafting When We Can #9 Resolutions

Today sees the first challenge of 2012 at CWWC and the theme is New Year's Resolutions. My resolutions for this year include finishing my cards with an insert when I make them, sorting out my old photos and doing some scrap booking. In order to get all this done I will have to have some "me time" so I've made this calendar for my craft room. We're being sponsored by The Stamping Boutique and Crafty Ribbons.


  • Image: Stamping Boutique
  • Medium: promarkers and DI
  • Papers: Costco (from the bit box) and Anna Griffin (one of my first crafting purchases)
  • Dies: Spellbinders
  • Fourish: Marianne Designs
  • Ribbon, gems, button and flowers from my stash.
  • Sentiment is computer generated.
