What is your favorite craft medium? Do I have to pick just one? I absolutely love paper! Hubby says I am a paper fanatic! I love clay too, though. Hubby and I make custom action figures together an use a lot of clay for molding different body parts and facial features.

What is your favorite scrap item/tool? My favorite scrap item/tool are punches. I had to admit it, but I am a punch fanatic!

What is your favorite color(s)? Purple is my favorite, but I love pink and black combo, too.


How do you have your scraproom decorated? I have an attic room with the steeple roof, so I really can't do much in the way of decorating. At this point, I'm just happy to have my own space!


Are you an animal person? I love animals. Especially dogs.

What is your favorite Disney movie? There have been so many new ones out that are wonderful. But my first "favorite" disney movie was Beauty and The Beast.


Do you watch TV/Movies while working? I watch TV while on the computer, but when working in my scraproom, I usually listen to music.


Do you get your inspiration from them? Ive been known to do that on occasion! I made two cards recently that were TV show inspired.

Sweet or Savory snacks? Savory. I don't eat many sweets.


Scary or Romantic movies? Comedies are my favorite, but if I had to choose between scary or romantic, I'd choose romantic.


Beach or Snow vacations? Definitely beach!


Favorite type of music? Mostly 70's and 80's rock, some country.

Let's get to know Linda a little better!!


What is your favorite craft medium? Really enjoy my chalk inks and Prismacolor pencils but I just can't live without my Stickles/Glitter.

What is your favorite scrap item/tool? Would have to be my Cuttlebug, embossing folders and Spellbinders dies.

What is your favorite paper line/company? I have t to get my hands on any paper that I didn't love. I guess K&Company, Basic Grey and Bo Bunny would be my favorites.

What is your favorite color(s)? Green and Earth Tones for home decorating and for crafting I like all colors and use a lot of green, pink, purple and blue.

How do you have your scraproom decorated? Colors, themes, homey, contempo, etc.? Pretty much I just go with the comfortable and functional look in my craft room.. I really do have a place for everything so I can find what I want when I want it. My craft room is in the basement with no windows so to brighten things up a bit I have lots and lots of sunflowers for decorations.

Are you an animal person? Do they have a place in your scrap room? I don't have any pets.

What is your favorite Disney movie? I have 6 grandkids and I do enjoy seeing lots of good Disney movies with them. But there isn't one that stands out as my all time favorite.
Do you watch TV/movies white working? I used to watch HGTV shows but now I just listen to the radio because it is less distracting when I am being creative.
Do you get your inspiration from them? I get inspiration from everywhere....nature, fabric, clothing, art and all magazines (not only craft ones) and of course from my blog friends. There are lots of times ideas pop into my head out of nowhere.

Sweet or savory snacks? Both....I really love my chocolate and nuts and usually have a little fix of both everyday.

Scary or Romantic movies? No scary stuff for me. I like a fun and silly romantic comedy or just a good old tear jerker.

Beach or snow vacations? I am really not allthat fond of the winter and cold. I do love the beach when I can get there, but there aren't any beaches in Kansas.

Favorite type of music? Oldies from the 60's to the 80's.

Now! Let's get started on our LOVE LETTERS card and make sure to enter your creation on Linda's Blog!!

This week we have Loz(Aus) aka Laura as our Guest Designer! She would like everyone to create a RED & WHITE CHRISTMAS Card! Just in time! Here is Laura's example! SO CUTE!

Now, to get to know Laura a little better!

What is your favorite craft medium? Definitely my Pebbles Chalks, so quick and easy!
What is your favorite scrap item/tool? Fiskars Apron Lace Border Punch
What is your favorite paper line/company? None really, whatever takes my fancy – there’s so many gorgeous papers/cards
What is your favorite color(s)? Brown and Pink – Red or White (obviously!)
How do you have your scraproom decorated? Colors, themes, homey, contempo, etc. I have a desk on one side of our study. Our house is only 7 months old, so it’s still new and fresh, but my desk is usually pretty untidy!
Are you an animal person? Do they have a place
in your scraproom? We have 2 black Labrador dogs, but they’re not allowed inside. They’re way too big!
What is your favorite Disney movie? Do you watch movies/tv while working? My favourite Disney movie of all time is ‘Beauty and the Beast”. I saw it at the cinema with my sister. My 3½ year old watches it now so I still get to enjoy it. A lot of the newer Disney movies are fantastic, I love ‘Cars’, it’s so cute and funny. And no, there’s no TV in my study/craft room.
Do you ever get your inpiration from tv/movies? Nature? Pets? Not so much. I think most of my inspiration comes from blog-world and magazines.
Sweet or Savory snacks? Both... mainly savoury, I love dip and biscuits!!
Scary or Romantic movies? I’m a huge chick-flick fan!! Love all those sweet endings and the cutesy parts throughout. I don’t mind watching a Scary flick either, so long as I have my pillow, the lights are on and there’s someone else sitting next to me!!
Beach or Snow vacations? We tend to holiday where we have family or friends living, and we now days go to Zoos and Family friendly tourist attractions. If I won an all-expenses-paid trip – I’d defiantly say Beach!!
Favorite type of Music? Easy listening classic rock. Favorite songs of all time, Kenny Rogers - The Gambler, Rick Springfield – Jessie’s Girl, Soft Cell – Tainted Love, Pat Brenetar – All Fired Up.... I could go on, and on, and on.....
