I had fun using the colored pencils too! Don't use them often enough. I thank you for inspiring me to decorate the inside and back of the card. I might be doing that more and more often. Thank you.
I so enjoyed watching this come to life. That piece of green patterned paper peeking behind is perfect! I rarely set any crafty goals or resolutions. 😊. Although I would like craft just to play more, I guess that can be a crafty goal for 2025💜🙏🎄❄️
Aww I love your snowman card. You matched your coloring perfectly to the pattern paper. Love the colors. I’m so glad you decorated the inside. I always put something in the inside to tie everything together. If I’m not mailing a card I usually decorate the envelope too with same papers etc. It was nice seeing colored pencils for a change, I think they’re underused. I actually color better with them than I do with alcohol markers. It just takes longer to color an image. Goals….what’s that? Lol. My goal is to not set goals anymore because 99% of the time I don’t meet them and then I’m disappointed with myself. So from now on if I get something done I’ll be like Yay I completed a task. I’m the biggest procrastinator that ever lived and unfortunately I passed that trait down to my son, he’s not as bad as I am though. We hate waiting to the last minute, but we never change it. Some bad habits are just hard to break. I haven’t been married for 29 years and I’ve lived alone for 8 years (since my son moved out). I think this has a lot to do with my non-motivation. Also I have health issues, degenerative disc, fibromyalgia and arthritis and this keeps me from getting things done unless I have help. I do want to work on organization like my craft room and closets. We’ll see. Lol
I think celebrating the wins is a great goal! Success breeds success! I agree about colored pencils. they are definitely underused, and I want to use them more. Girl, I totally understand about poor health and trying to just get simple day to day things done. I struggle on my own as well, but I also enjoy my own company. Lol. I'm living alone for the first time ever, since my sister passed last summer. I do love it, but it brings its own challenges.
Thanks so much! I agree, colored pencils are underused, and I love using them too! Organizing is a constant struggle over here, so I feel you! Great goal!
Thank you! I don't use colored pencils often, but I do enjoy them. I wasn't sure where this particular sharpener came from, but I took a photo and did a lens search...apparently it's from Wal-Mart, Pen & Gear brand. I have to say, I purchased several Pen & Gear things lately and I love them! Let me know your thoughts if you decide to purchase one.
I just love your snowman. Adorable Nancy and you colored him so cute. Do you have any recommendations on a good colored pencil? Goals for this year loosing weight. Less de stash’s. More creating. Using things I have before buying any more . Having more patience with Zoey. lol 😂 Tfs
I use a lot of different colored pencils. Remember that Ikea bin I had them in on the video I has Prang, Prisma, Crayola, CraZart, Maped Color Pals, etc...I also have some new ones from Castle Arts which I really enjoy. I have some expensive ones that were gifted to me from Faber Castel and Caran Dache...I like and use them all. There are times when I pull out the sets because everything is so neat and organized, versus the bin that has the pencils tossed in. But It really doesn't matter to me. I think I might try another set from Castel Arts because I prefer earth tones than the purples and blues set I purchased. But they work well . What do you use? Great goals!!! So proud of you! Weight loss is always on my agenda, lol. Always! Maybe we can do a collab of some sort - that will help us both to create.
Love the layers; I learn a new technique from you in each video I watch! Thank you!❤❤❤
You are so sweet! Glad you are enjoying the videos! Thank you for watching!
Adorable card my dear! Love how you finished the inside and back. And so fun to see colored pencils for a change too! ♥️🎄💚

That is a crafty goal! I don't think I've set them in the past either.
This is such a darling card, Nancy! Love every little detail! Thank you so much for bringing my designs to life! Going to share this on my page. ❤
You are so kind! It was a joy to use your designs! Your papers are absolutely lovely! Thank you for trusting me!
