Unique Blog Hop!


For my "The Challenge" Post (Go HERE)

Unique Blog Hop!

------------------------------------
I have been nominated by the Queen of CASology Melissa Chipperfield to the "Unique Blog Hop."  Melissa nominated me on this post, (HERE) on her blog "Oh Smudge" -- so go check out more about the talented Melissa Chipperfield.  You will love her photography as well as her fun and humorous creativity.  

Melissa took a gamble on my "CAS ness" when she accepted me on the team over a year ago.. (wow time flies when you are having fun!!!).  Since then I really look forward to each challenge to sharpen my CAS skills with the team.
The entire team is so dedicated and wonderful.  I am very thankful to be a part of this very talented collaboration of creative inspiring ladies.

So here I go.... A little about myself.


What are you currently working on?
Currently I am working on getting ready for a Halloween Craft Off!  I have gathered most of my favorite stamps, papers, and embellishments so a fellow crafter and I can make cards for the better part of an afternoon.  I am always getting ready for some craft event or other.  Thankfully, I have some pretty crafty friends that like to get together regularly.  

I put some of my favorite cards on my desk at work (Yeah... go figure, I work FT... wish it wasn't so..(!!)...sometimes for inspiration.




How does my work differ from others of its genre?
I guess my style is just on the bolder side comparatively.  I love all types of cardmaking and dabble in all styles that I fancy.  I think I am more focused on a CAS style than others, though I love layers and DP!

What inspires your work?
I am inspired by bloggers, regular bloggers that enter challenges like I do.  Varying in experience and styles, I love seeing all of their inspiring designs.  I love the trend using distress inks, sponging and emboss resist.

How does your creative process work?
I usually am commenting on my lovely DT entry cards that have been entered to gallery posts when I see other challenges that are going on. I see a challenge and if it appeals to me I usually get an idea right away.  Now I have a few fellow co-conspirators that we all egg each other on.  Mentally I run through possible stamps or dies that may work for my challenge inspiration.  I usually act impulsively and throw my idea out there.  Usually the card comes together pretty fast, and a first run.  If I have to think too hard, or work too hard for my design to come together, it usually does turn out to be a card that I am happy with.  Sometimes I am lucky, and other times I fall short.  Either way, I am happy to create, as even my cards that fall short of my expected mark, are still an expression of what I am creatively doing at the moment, something to be celebrated and shared.  I know I have had my bio information out here quite a bit, so if there is anything you would like to know that I haven't already blogged, let me know.  

More interestingly, 
My favorite ice cream: 
-The answer is Pistachio., German Chocolate Cake, ..and Tiramisu.

Now it's my turn to introduce a designer to you! 
So now I will nominate another crafter that has kindly agreed to the Unique Blog Hop.  I have nominated Kristie Goulet of Kreative Kristie. I have admired Kristie's clean and crisp talent for a long time.   I can't wait to hear more about Kristie.  

Stay tuned, tomorrow I nominate another wonderful creative artist!!!!!!!

Thanks for coming by my blog!

Create, Enjoy
Live, Laugh
and 
LOVE!
