Happy New Year!

Hello, Friends! Happy New Year! 2022. My, my, my! Didn't last year go by in the blink of an eye?! Zoooom! And now here we are in 2022. Well, I wish each of you good health, happiness and peace!

If you've been following me on Instagram, you'll know that last year was the Year of the Sketch for me. I chose to use SheetLoad of Cards sketches, that I download for FREE because I am a subscriber to the the Call Me Crafty Al YouTube channel. I like these sketches because I can use up my pretty patterned papers since the sketches yield 6 to 12 cards, sometimes more! The sketches are super easy to follow and they also include a cutting guide to insure that you get the most use out of your paper with little to no waste. Gotta love that! Crafty Al debuts a new sketch on the first day of each month. Then on the second day of the month, she shares a process video, where she shows step by step how she used the sketch. You can use the sketch exactly how it's presented or you can use it as a springboard and make it your own. The sketches are perfect for mass production, too! If you haven't seen these in action, I encourage you to take a look. 

Here are some of the cards I made in 2021 using SheetLoad of Cards sketches.

 

 

 

 

Very often, I make multiple sets. I figured that since I was cutting paper, I might as well cut more and have cards for other occasions. Last year, I had my Christmas and Autumn cards completed by August!

With all that creating and sharing, I caught Crafty Al's eye and guess what? She invited me to join her Instagram Collaboration Team!

 

I am so excited to join this group of talented crafters. And I hope that you all will take a moment to go to Call Me Crafty Al's YouTube channel to see these sketches in action. Don't forget to subscribe! And you're in for a real treat because she has the entire Collab Team linked on her most recent video, HERE. This way you can be inspired by more of my Team Mates! I will be sharing my creations on my Instagram account, @1busyb and I invite you to follow me there. I will occasionally post here on my blog.

That's all I have to share with you today. I appreciate the visit! Have a wonderful weekend! Please stay safe!

Blessings~
