Creative Blog Hop: Just Jingle Style

You may have seen some of these fun Creative Blog Hop posts around blog land. I was tagged for it by the absolutely amazingly fabulous Joscie! I will share with you a few things about myself and then tag a couple of more friends to share with you! Here goes...

1. What am I working on now?

Well, that's a rotating question, really. LOL! This week I have some projects planned for an upcoming guest designer spot (shhh! Secrets!!!), along with some submission cards I am working on if I can get my act together. HA! I also have found that I have TOO many uninked stamps currently in my studio, so I am trying to make 'just for fun' cards here and there with those because, well... it's FUN! Here is one I created this weekend using the Super Due STAMPtember® exclusive from Simon Says Stamp!

2. How does my work differ from others in my genre?

Ummm... well... Okay, so first, I should probably define my genre, which, I would PROBABLY say is CAS, although, let's be honest, I kinda go all over the place. So, I think that's probably how I differ. I can't sit still in my genre. HA! I just sort of do what feels like a fun thing to do at the time. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it SOOOO doesn't. But it is always fun and it often teaches me new things.

3. Why do I create what I do?

Well, I'm going to cheat and answer the first four words of that question. The 'what' is less important then the 'why' for me. I create because it is in my blood. It keeps me happy. It helps me through things that are hard and allows me to express myself. It is also super fun when things are totally NOT hard. It's just a part of me. I will always create in some way or another.

4. How does my creative process work?

Again, I'm brought to the Ummm.... state, here. Process, huh? I honestly do not have a consistent process. Sometimes I'm super inspired by a new product and I just want to play, so I make something. I don't really plan my projects, I just work as I go and see what comes out. That has down sides. Usually involving questions like, "Well, now how am I going to get that under there when I already stamped and glued that down?" Hmm.... BUT, it is how I work. I just do.

So, alas, there you have it!

I am nominating two super fabulous crafters:

Teri Anderson, because, seriously, you guys... she's amazing AND a giant ray of sunshine in a smile!

AND...

Heather Campbell. Because I love her. And she is fabulous. (Actually, she is so awesome she DESIGNED the amazing patterned paper I used on the card above. Yup. For reals.)

Watch for their posts next Monday!

Ka-POW! Go Knock 'em Out, girls!

Have a Happy!

Because Captain America

Well, I saw Guardians of the Galaxy over the weekend, did YOU?! It was fun. Totally fun. And it will hold me over nicely until the next Avengers movie comes out. SPEAKING of Marvel movies. And the Avengers. And Captain America. This card... it was fun.

My Hero Captain America Card


Yup. That would be the newer version of the Captain America suit translated onto a card. Yes. I am a dork. Yes. This does please me greatly. Good. Glad we got through all of THAT super fun stuff!!! Ummm...I {heart} super hero movies. For reals, though. Lots. Even Captain America and his old fashioned ridiculousness.

To create this one I die cut the star using the Avery Elle Ornament Simply Tags set from silver cardstock. Yup. Christmas dies. For a super hero card. 'Cause I like stretching my supplies, THAT'S WHY! K. Moving on... I scored the die cut star and used varying levels of foam tape to adhere it to the card so it would maintain some kick ass dimension. LOVE THAT! Then I cut silver strips, trimmed the edges to angle them properly, and adhered them. So simple!

My Hero Captain America Card (detail)


The sentiment is stamped and embossed, keeping it simple, but perfectly on point. That is from the (unfortunately discontinued) Kelly Purkey DUDE stamp set.

This one was fairly easy to make, but TONS of fun! I kind of love it.

Have a Happy!
