Hello dear readers, I find myself at the end of yet another year and sitting down to do some quiet reflecting. Hasn't this year just flown by? As always, I am grateful for my health and the health of my family but that is another post all together. Today, I am here to talk about goals. Do you make goals every year? For me, making goals is important. It keeps me moving forward. I make goals for every aspect of my life and goals for crafting is no exception. Craft goals #1 - Use my supplies!! That is my #1 craft goal for 2017. I have STASHES of old paper collections that I USED to have ideas for but now they just sit there forgotten untouched. Not good! Use your supplies Amira.

I have decided to use them for planning and for memory keeping and for art journaling so, without further ado, let me share with you my process which I captured on video for you here Thank you for stopping by. How are you going with your collection? What do you buy and never find yourself using up? xxAmiraInOz

If you missed the unboxing you can find it here. Out of the kit, I chose these 3 products to play with. I wrote up a full blog post about this project on Aunty Vera's site. You can find the full version of this project here. I really enjoyed playing with these sprays! The spray in an explosive unpredictable fashion! SO. MUCH. FUN. They spray amazing on black card stock. After I was happy with my background, I used texture paste through the firework stencil. I also coloured in this Prima Princess (Madeline) and fussy cut her out. I love the cluster of cards behind her (I used Simple Stories)  I also love this flower stamp by KaiserCraft Oh La La in the cor
