What a very cool topic!!!
How would you describe your stamping style in 3 words? Simple, Thin (cause I mail all my cards), Easy Currently, what are your 3 favorite images Since it's Spring it would have to be three sets from Sweet n' Sassy Stamps: Spring Tulips, Flower Blocks 1, and Praise the Lord What are your 3 favorite embellishments to use on a card? I don't use many embellishments but when I do it's always either ribbon, bling/pearls, or buttons You get to send cards to your 3 favorite fictional characters. Who are they? Winnie the Pooh because his stories bring so much joy, Cinderella when she was being treated so badly by her sisters, and believe it or not - Smurfette! LOL!! Because she was the only girl and needed some "sisterhood". LOL!! Ok, doesn't that show my mentality - all cartoons - LOL!! You've been asked to design your own line of stamps. Using 3 words only, what is the name of your line of stamps? Showing God's Love Name 3 of your stamping idols. Hmm, not sure I have any...I admire so many here on SCS... You have the opportunity to take classes pertaining to any aspect of card-making. What 3 classes would you choose? Coloring techniques in different mediums (pencils, markers, watercolor, etc), Ways to use scraps & things you already have, 1 layer cards You're writing a note to your great-great grandchildren telling them why you love this hobby. What 3 things would you tell them? 1. I get to encourage someone with what I make. 2. I can pray for the person as I make their card. 3. It's a way to de-stress/relax You just won five million dollars; who are the first 3 members of Splitcoast you'd share it with? Well that's easy - the 3 people below me in this thread. :) What 3 pieces of advice do you wish you had received (or heeded) upon starting this hobby? 1. The big one would be don't get caught up thinking you have to have every new thing out there. 2. Don't try to keep up with everyone else - just because someone makes gorgeous cards that have tons of layers doesn't mean that's your style - find your style and embrace it. 3. If you haven't used it in a year - find a new home for it (this one is not just stamping but all the "stuff" that clutters our homes/lives). |
this is fun! hmm lots of forethought, here goes...Style: clean and simple
Favorite images: any poppy flower, Leafy Flourish (Hero Arts), the plane from SU The Sky is the Limit Favorite Embellishments: ribbon, pearls, rhinestones Favorite fictional characters to receive a card: Claire Randall Fraser (Diana Gabaldon), V.I. Warshawski (Sara Paretsky), Stephanie Plum (Janet Evanovich) My own line of stamps: Purple Princess Stamps (in memory of my granddaughter, forever four) Stamping Idols: Birgit aka Biggan, Dina Kowal, Angela? aka Arizona Maine Three Classes: a Copic coloring class (again!), a watercolor class from Dina, a class to learn to make collage cards that look good! A note for my great-great grandchildren telling them why I make cards: Love, I tried to create a card that fit the recipient, made with love Sharing a $5,000,000 win with three SCS members: My hubby might have something to say about that! lol Luckily two of my sisters are members xx ginger xx and Patti (at least they used to be, not sure now) and Dina Kowal because I think she would do good deeds with it. Three pieces of advice I wish I had received or heeded: look at each stamp and decide how versatile it could be (birthday,sympathy etc), don't waste your dollars on poor quality cardstock, ink, stamps, and don't beat yourself up, as you learn and stamp, your creations improve. If you like the end results that is what matters most. |
Lynkim, I found an Outlander fan! So Clare will be getting at least 2 cards!
Purple Princess Stamps tugs at my heart. ❤ I should have specified that of the five million, you will be sharing a PORTION of your winnings. How much is totally up to you, but you don't need to elaborate on that. |

I'd look for three newbies who are just setting out on a stamping journey on a budget so they could treat themselves to new toys. What 3 pieces of advice do you wish you had received (or heeded) upon starting this hobby? Make an index of your stamps Tidy up as you go along Don't buy stuff just because someone else makes something cool with it, consider what you'll do with it yourself |

This is soooo hard! I've thought and thought and some of the questions are almost too difficult to answer.

It is a creative outlet good even for those of us without artistic talent It is a way to have fun and bless others. This hobby is not cheap, so get together often and share your tools & supplies. You just won five million dollars; who are the first 3 members of Splitcoast you'd share it with? Only 3? This is probably the hardest question of all! Do I share with those who have been so generous to me? Do I share with people who have held my hand and patiently answered my crafty questions? Do I share with the SCS gals who give me a reason to log onto the computer every day? I think I'd share with all of them, but if I had to choose only three I'd choose the newbies that Angel North mentioned. What 3 pieces of advice do you wish you had received (or heeded) upon starting this hobby? To really enjoy scrapbooking and card making, you'll need more than a little paper, scissors and glue. Don't collect a bunch of cheap junk, focus on buying a few nice things that you really love.

What 3 classes would you choose? Distress ink backgrounds Creative ways for using all those dies I have collected & love - some of which I haven't used (!) Masculine cardmaking You're writing a note to your great-great grandchildren telling them why you love this hobby. What 3 things would you tell them? This hobby has helped me find my inner joy by creating mini artworks from just a few little pieces of cardstock, stamps & some pencils. It has also made me feel part of a wonderful, kind & caring community here at SCS & in the blogging world - and they understand why I love this hobby so much when others think sending cards is "so yesterday".. I am a very tactile person & I find it very soothing for my soul to look through my stash to find buttons, ribbons, brads, rhinestones etc. to match my card - as well as finding just the right papers for my card (I also love the smell of a brand new paper pad & my pencils!). You just won five million dollars; who are the first 3 members of Splitcoast you'd share it with? Buggainok (Annette), MilwaukeeMommy (Michelle Peterman), Splitcoaststampers (so they can keep this place going!) What 3 pieces of advice do you wish you had received (or heeded) upon starting this hobby Don't buy stamps on impulse just because you love someone's card. Create 'Wish Lists' and go back to them a week or more later to see if you are still as excited about the product (rather just buying it straight away). If you are having a bad cardmaking day & everything is going wrong, walk away & come back another day rather than 'forcing' yourself to keep going. 4th one: The sky won't fall in if you buy a card because you couldn't finish a card in time to post for someone's birthday. |
