Goals, Challenges, and More, Oh My!!!


Did you know there are 5 things that you can do that can help you reach your goals 80% more of the
time.  People who do these 5 things are 80% more likely to reach their goals than people who don't.
What are they? Back to that in a minute.  One of my goals is for my Blog to reach more people and to participate in more card challenges this year. I think these are connected, because when I post a new project to a challenge, that link is shared with all the other participants.  I'm hopeful that some will click on my blog and find some inspiration.  My other goal: I would like 5 new SU! customers.  This one is a little trickier, but I'm trying.
1. Have a compelling reason- for your goal
2. Visualize yourself reaching the goal
3. Give yourself a reward
4. Stay Positive
5. Believe in yourself

Same actionable Things you can do today to help you reach your goals:
1. Write them down
2. Tell someone
3. Post it somewhere so many people can see (think social media, blog...)
4. Start small- pick one goal

So here I am.  Posting my newest challenge here.
I am entering my HELLO THERE card for 2 challenges: Less is More #402 Color challenge and Global Design Project #222 Sketch Challenge


Less is More #410

Happy New Year!

#Simple Stamping only used Stamp Set Parisian Beauty

Bonne Année 

I am so excited to share some of the fun cards I've made using the new Parisian Beauty Cling Stamps and Parisian Dies from the New Mini Catalog.

I've also been decorating my envelopes, too.  I don't know why I haven't done this sooner.  It adds so much.  Don't you like getting pretty mail- so do your recipients.

These Stamps and Dies are so intricate you don't need to add  much.  This is Simple Stamping at its best, but looks so elegant.
