It was so much fun, and enlightening, too, reading everyone's crafting resolutions for 2025! I have to admit that this was the first time that I'd thought of even making them for the crafting aspect of my business! Some of your resolutions were oh, so familiar, but with great ideas to accomplish them, while some were unique and thought-provoking. And before I get too philosophical, let's get back to the delightful task at hand, which is naming our winners!
Wouldn't you know it? We have a tie for Top Pick:
Michele's crafty resolution for 2025 is to find workarounds for products she doesn't have instead of having to buy them. She proved this is more than possible when she made this beautiful card with the extra layer ending just short of the top. Instead of buying an edger die, she used a word shadow die and adapted it to make it an edger die, then added the word to it as well. This bold sentiment is accompanied with a beautifully stamped and coloured bird in a budding tree. So worthy of a Top Pick! Congratulations, Michele!
LeAnn resolved to use more embossing folders in 2025 and she got a good head start by using no fewer than three of them in this vintage beauty. She layered 3 panels of distressed, embossed cardstock just like embroidered ruffles, each layer different from the other 2. By adding the scalloped Crumb Cake edging, the Cherry Cobbler twine and the heart designs, she bumped the whole project up a notch or two. So worthy of a Top Pick! Congratulations, Michele!
Our Featured Artist,Sandra, has created an masculine project in a collage formatl! The Design Team were so thrilled not only the richly coloured paper she chose for the backgrounds, but also the array of cool designs she added - filmstrip, car, gears, among many others. The longer you look, the more things you find, like the edging and the sprinkling of rhinestones. Congratulations, Sandra, amazing work and a great start on your resolution of creating more masculine themed cards!!
