BLOG HOP Q & A
Hi and welcome to  my blog hop Q & A.

What am I working on right now?
My next layout for STUCK ON U SKETCHES design team.
My next layout for CHERISH THIS design team.
Also I am trying to do a little card making, here is my latest.

 

How long does it take to create a project?
I hope to take about one hour on a card and two  hours on a layout.
Some layouts take a little longer if I am making lots of flowers.
I made the tulle flowers on this layout.

 

What are my favourite things I like to create with?
I love to create with flower dies, I love making flowers.
I made some of these flowers.

 

How does my writing/creative process work?
I don't do a lot of writing, just a hidden journaling block about the photo, as for my creative process, I love to start with a sketch, mood board or colour scheme.

 

How do I become inspired and stay inspired?
I am usually inspired by the photo, but if I have lost my mojo, I go visit lots of my favourite blogs for more inspiration.
For this photo I would be inspired to use green, blue and white.
This is me with Millie.

 

What is my signature style?
Definitely girly girl. Pretty and flowery, the more flowers the better. Butterflies are another favourite of mine, doilies and I love layers. Here is a butterfly layout typical of my style. This is my lovely daughter Jessie, pic taken this summer.

I am going to tag ERICA ORTIZ http://www.mimispaperdreams.blogspot.co.uk/
I love Ericas work, always beautiful, artistic and full of inspiration.
Do go check her out at her blog.

Hi lovely scrappers,

I am really excited to be  nominated as a Creative Blogger by a very talented and super sweet scrapbook friend, 

TRACY GREGORY  http://lifetimeofpages.blogspot.co.uk/ 

(I really love Tracy's work, she always does fabulous, stylish projects that are artistic and beautifully embellished). 

We are joining up as a chain of fun blog hop tours, where we will get to meet new bloggers, get new inspiration and connect with blogs that will open up our creativity.

This blog hop is sure to be a great inspiration. 

I hope you hop along with us.

Here are my 4 questions that I need to answer before I pass along my nominations..

(I will then send you to 3 amazing artists you will love visiting!)

1. What am I working on?

At the moment I am working on a sketch from Stuck on U Sketches, a mood board from Cherish This Challenge blog

and my photos from my brothers recent wedding, not forgetting a few cards as well!!

 

2. How does my work differ from others of its genre?

I'm flower mad, and I do tend to add tons of flowers to everything!

I love to add lots of layers, flowers, doilies and butterflies.

 

3. Why do I create what I do?

Well that's easy, I am truly addicted and love to scrap my family the most.

 

4. How does my creative process work?

I usually start with the inspiration of  a mood board, sketch, colour scheme or the photo itself. I take my colour inspiration from the photo, always. I love to get the colours right. I then gather all my papers and embellies, and off I go!
 

 I have introduced three fabulous designers here, each with a different approach, I do hope you find encouragement and creativity to inspire you from these lovely ladies.
