I was nominated last week for the Creativity Blog Hop by my Cousin, Upline and Artisan Allison Okamitsu. I definitely needed a kick in the butt to get back on track, so I said yes! Unfortunately I'm still a day late, but it wasn't my fault! I swear. Anyways, lets get started!
What am I working on now?
Currently I'm a bit all over the place. Having recently moved I am very excited to finally have a whole room to craft in. So I am getting that organized and set up. This has become a difficult task as I am also working on Christmas class examples and of course some personal projects. Because I'm still crafting when things are still in boxes it looks as though a tornado has torn through my room. If I have something in mind for a project I don't stop until I find it. Which means although my boxes aren't really unpacked yet... they are.
I like simple. My work often has lots of detail but not too many embellishments. I usually believe less is more. But then again if I'm in the right mood my creativity will take over and go a little crazy with lots of colour, details and embellishments.
Why do I create what I do?
Sometimes its for my Stampin' Up business, other times its for personal reasons but its usually just because I love it. I am a pretty quite person for the most part but my personality and feelings really come out in my art. It's a great way to express myself.
How does my creative process work?
I get inspired by something or just have a need to create so will look for inspiration. Once I've got that I just sit down and do it. For example, todays card was inspired by a few amazing men in my life. I have been so thankful for each of them and want them to have a ridiculously amazing day, everyday! But lets face it, I would never be able to actually tell them that as I'm quite shy, so instead I just take that inspiration and create stuff!
Next I'd like to nominate my sideline and fellow Stampin' Up demonstrator You can visit her blog next Monday, October 27th to learn more about what she's up to and her creative process!
