Now, here's one final "Thank You" to Carole for her get-to-know-you suggestion!
1. When/how did you get hooked on stamping? A friend of mine had a Stampin' Up! party back in 2002. I faded out for a little while, then Splitcoast, and especially the challenges, got me back in the groove.
2. How often do you stamp? Almost every day. If I don't have the time or the motivation, I don't push it. Unless of course I'm facing a deadline.
3. Tell me about your funniest or most embarrassing stamping related injury. It's not an injury. At least not to me, just my carpet. I run out of desk space one time and tried to heat emboss on the floor. Guess what? Carpet melts!
4. How long does it take you to create a project that you're happy with? Usually about an hour. Sometimes longer if things aren't working for me. I'm so envious of quick stampers. I do a lot of trial and error. Nothing gets glued down 'til it's all done.
5. I am usually a little messy in my creating. Tell me about your creative space. I have to be organized or I can't think straight. I make a mess while I'm creating but clean up as soon as I'm done. In fact, I tend to put everything away before the aforementioned final gluing. Sometimes I'll even have to stop half way through a card and put away everything I'm done with.
6. If you were stranded on a deserted island, which craft tool could you not live without? Why? Well, I guess brads. They're so easy to add and often give just the little bit extra you need.
7. What is your biggest source of inspiration? I love sketch challenges. But I also look to designer papers and advertising to name a few things.
8. Who in the stamping world do you want to be when you grow up and why? Ya know what? I love the work of so many people and learn from everyone, but I just want to be myself. I don't have to be the best. I stamp for enjoyment, and that works for me.
9. What is your favorite part of the creative process? I really like seeing the finished product. Like I said, my cards are a work in progress until the very end. I love gluing the pieces together and seeing that it all worked out.
