Creative Blog Hop!!!

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone!!!

Today I have a special post for one of my very talented crafty friend....ISHA.

She tagged me last week for a Creative Blog Hop ...you can see it HERE.

Isha is super sweet person and amazing papercrafter, she asked to join in for this hop, so I'm here .

Writing is not my favorite thing , so I'll keep it short.

I have to answer 4 questions and here they are..

1. What am I working on?

I'm currently working on some card samples for Art Impressions Stamps...love their new stamps!!

I'm also getting ready to start my 2014 holiday card making ...and working on few cards for a upcoming new DT ( Sorry!I can't spill the beans yet.)

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

Ok!! Here comes the TRICK question. I don't have a Signature style, so I'm not sure if my work is very different from others. I create in all styles..I love to follow new trends, try out new techniques. My style has definitely evolved , its quite different than what it was 5 years ago.

My most favorite style is simple and simple cards with lots of White.

3. Why do I write/create what I do?

I love HANDMADE stuff. I like to give handmade gifts...thats how I started making cards. Now its my favorite hobby. I also make quilts, jewelry and now scrapbook layouts too.

4. How does your writing/creative process work?

I find my inspirations from the products. I try to follow latest trends.When I want to create something I just sit with the stamps and papers...stare at them for a while and then slowly the design comes to my mind.

Ok! I might have bored you all a lot with all these Q/A...now here is a card..

Its a fun thing I love doing...Stencils and doodling!

I used Heidi Swapp -Butterfly Layered stencil and Distress inks.

Then doodled over it with copic Multiliner pen.

Heat embossed the sentiment from Papertrey ink with WOW embossing powder.

This card is for the following challenges...

CASology: Flutter.

Addicted to Stamps and More - CAS.

A Gem of a Challenge - CAS.

Now the fun part of the hop I get to tag few of my crafty friends...

First person I'm tagging is.....AMY .

Amy is one of my most Favorite paper crafter ....she is the sweetest person ever! Amy has a big contribution in what I'm as a crafter today. In 2009 I started blogging and playing with challenges . Amy was in 365 cards challenge DT back then , I used play regularly, she used visit my blog everyday and leave the sweet comments. She always encouraged me !!!

I love you AMY!!!

Amy joined this hop already so you can find her post ..HERE.

The next crafty friend is from the other side of the globe.

She is from my hometown, unfortunately we never met in person.

When I was in India in 2011-13 , I virtually meet her thru the blogland .

She is a very talented paper crafter and a very sweet person!

She is one of the few person who visits my blog regularly and leaves lovely comments.

Thank you Hussena!!

I have so many crafters on my mind but all seems to be super busy at this time.

I have one more person to mention....

She is my migrating crafty friend....whom I love a lot and I wish to be like her when I GROW UP in this crafty world.

She is KAROLYN !!!
