I went back through the last fifty tutorials and out of them I have an entry for all but 13 and I'm sure I did three of those but didn't photograph and upload. I live the tutorials each week, so while I wait on the next weekly tutorial I'm going to start working on those I missed! I have learned so many new techniques, card folds, coloring tips, etc. through these tutorials and I really appreciate all the hard work that goes into creating, posting, etc. Thank you SCS and tutorial creators!
You are definitely more ambitious than I am! I tend to shy away from "techniques", as my time is so limited and I'm a bit on the lazy side in this craft, lol! If/when I don't have such a whirlwind of chaos in my space I'll try to emulate you a bit and learn some new tricks... ;)
Kathy, I applaud you for trying all those new techniques. I'm retired, so I definitely have the time, but I don't have the inclination towards different techniques.
I think I'm probably not much of a "technique" person, and like Sue, I sometimes take the easy way out when crafting. If it's a choice between making my own background paper with a technique or finding a piece of patterned paper and cutting it to size - the pattern paper wins every time!
The wonderful thing about this hobby is that we all get to do it the way we want to do it!

That's awesome that you challenge yourself to do new things. I usually work on my cards and scrapping to relax, so tend to stick to the same things I know already. I do have to admit that when I see the new tutorial I say to myself " maybe one day"..lol
I think that is very laudable! Great way to find out what you like to do and not, and maybe some tips to tweek what you do like to do! Makes you look at your tools a little differently too sometimes?
I also really appreciate the tutorials-great resource to have! I thank the people who make that happen too!
I like learning new things and that you can pick and choose what you want to learn. I have made a lot of the tutorials and passed it on to some of my scrapping friends.

You are so right! I have done some that I will never try again, and then there are some I do over and over. Without at least trying, I wouldn't have known. There were two that I first looked at and thought I couldn't even do them, but decided to try and loved them both when I finished! I remember one was the falling snow scene. I loved how it turned out and it was my first go at that type of watercoloring!
Love the tutorials and look forward to them every week. I am partially retired and have loved trying new techniques whenever time permits. I think it keeps our hobby fresh.
I'm a true "technique junkie." I have files of them from everywhere and subscribed to The Technique Junkie Newsletter from the start until it was discontinued. With that and the TLCs here, I will have to live a very long time to try them all! Usually try for at least 2 a month, but that's not fast enough. Just did one that took all day and 3 tries to get one card. The first was a mess and the last a disaster, so I stuck with the 2nd, which I was quite happy with. Kudos on your efforts. I admire you.
Decided to start from the beginning and do the tutorials. Did several this week. Of course there are a few that I skipped because they either weren't something I'd use or took too much time. I can always go back if I get through them all, which should take years! LOL
