All About You
You know those question lists that go around Facebook that are kind of fun to answer like ever rode a motorcycle, saw someone give birth, favorite thing to drink?
I thought I'd do one for stamping!
You should be able to copy and paste and copy your answers-right?
How long have you been stamping? - 11 yrs.
Do you have a favorite stamp company? Yes - SU
Favorite embellishment? - Rhinestones or stickles
Favorite type of stamp? Wood, foam mount, PP, bare, other? - Wood, but buy foam

Do you like to fussy cut? - Yes

Do you have a favorite stamp company? Not really. Several companies are putting out stuff I like, like Lawn Fawn, Paper Smooches, MFT and SSS. Sadly, SU is no longer putting out anything I like.
Favorite embellishment? Not big on embellishments, but I like the self stick gems and enamel dots. I just purchased some bottles of the enamel drops and I'm looking forward to playing with those.
Favorite type of stamp? Wood, foam mount, PP, bare, other? Clear PP, followed by bare
Have you ever done a major down size? No, but I just did a fairly major purge. Unfortunately, I also did a major purchase because I'm replacing the stuff that doesn't fit my style with stuff that does.

Do you ever foresee giving up stamping? Not really. I'm trying to go more minimalist and this is not a minimalist hobby, but that's ok.

I will fill this fun questionaire out when I have more time, but here's what I do for music. I open another tab and pull up Spotify. I search or browse for whatever I am in the mood for! I can't create to silence, and I'm not a big TV watcher. Music is what speaks to me.

I will do that with Pandora when I finally get a bluetooth speaker. I don't like playing through my phone speakers, nor do I like crafting with earbuds in.

Are your cards CAS or layered? Probably a bit of both. I don't do straight CAS like Simplicity, cause it never looks as good, but I don't use a lot of layers or embellies either. I don't know what that's called.
Do you ever foresee giving up stamping? No. I'm trying to go more minimalist and this is not a minimalist hobby, but that's ok.

- Are your cards CAS or layered? Mostly layered. I don't think my CAS attempts are very successful.
- Do you ever foresee giving up stamping? Nope. I'm hooked.
