As part
of my “role” as Blog Hop participant, I was asked to answer the
following questions.
What
are you working on?
I am
participating in a Shoebox Swap at the end of February, so my focus
has been on that card. I am also planning a “Convention at Home”
event for July for those of us in Northeastern Wisconsin who can't go
to Salt Lake City.
How
does your work differ from others in your genre?
Instead
of focusing on what I like, my focus is always on “what do my
customers like?” It's all about challenging and entertaining my
customers. Having that focus forces me to go outside of my comfort
zone on a regular basis – coloring for example! I am not a big fan
of coloring, but my customers love it, so...we color at every Card
Buffet!
Why
do you create what you do?
My
answer to this question is the same as question #2 – I create for
my customers! I also enjoy giving handmade gifts, so many of my
creations go to family and friends, local hospitals and other
non-profit organizations.
How
does your creativity process work?
I spend
a lot of time looking at Pinterest and surfing the Internet for ideas
and inspiration. Lately I've been starting with a card sketch and a
stamp set and I see where I end up!
