Hello friends! It’s time to say goodbye to 2025. I had a lot going on this year for me that slowed down some of my cardmaking, but I still ended up with about the same number of cards as last year.Â
I’m not great at keeping crafty goals. But this year I focused on getting ahead on donation cards going to a nearby retirement home. And I was mostly successful. I still need more Independence Day cards for 2026, but all other holiday cards are made. So in 2026, most of my cards will be set aside for 2027. It feels so good to be ahead. Now if something comes up, I know I already have all my retirement home cards made.
I was on 3 design teams and worked as a brand ambassador/influencer for several companies. So many amazing companies with awesome products! I wish I had the time to work with them all.
It was my 5th year on Paper Rose Studio’s design team.
It was my 2nd year on Scrapbook.com’s Creative Team.
In October, I joined the Your Paper Insider design team!
This is my 5th year as Jaded Blossom’s Brand Ambassador. Love their cute gnomes and gnome friends!
This was my 2nd year as a Brand Ambassador for Love From Lizi. (I was on her design team for over 5 years.)
It was my 4th year as a Spellbinders Influencer.
One of the most exciting opportunities for me this year was being a special guest for Scrapbook.com’s SBC Fest event. This was my third year being one of the instructors.
If you missed it, you can still watch the replay HERE.
I was also an instructor for Love From Lizi’s Wicked Witches virtual retreat class.
This was my 2nd year working as an influencer for The Washi Tape Shop. They have gorgeous washi tapes!
I guest designed for Not 2 Shabby Shop using their EZWonder dies and several PET tape designs.
I started working as an influencer for Glassboard Studio. They have amazing magnetic glass mats!

And throughout the year, I continued to make cards.
1,461 cards and projects to be exact
I posted 119 videos on my channel and 9 on Scrapbook.com’s channel. I shared 6 paper pad videos and 3 card kit videos.
I put together a slide show of all the photographed card pictures of 2025. (I don’t photograph every single card.)
Many of the cards were not featured in a video, and many were in a video exclusively on different company’s channel. (Scrapbook.com)

It really has been an amazing year!
Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos and check out my blog this year. I appreciate all the encouragement and kindness.
I wish everyone a healthy and crafty 2026!
A big thanks to all the companies that have provided me support.
