Paper Crafts getting to know you...

[Jennifer Grant]

Tell us a bit about yourself! What is your favorite paper craft?

[Nicole]

I would say scrapbooking but card making is starting to be my instant gratification craft experience. I never even thought I would get into scrapbooking before FancyMelissa entered my life. She had to teach me there is no crying in scrapbooking and to remember every piece of paper has two sides.

[Jennifer Grant]

HA! I love it! but i don't think i even wanna know the 'why' behind no crying in scrapbooking lol

[Kristin Burton]

I love making cards! Of course I love scrapbooking too but when I am not feeling creative or my mind is too cluttered to scrap I can sit and make cards for hours.

[Laurie Hein]

I started this as a small kid. I decorated my bedroom door. hahaha. I am sure if I look my mom has pics. I love scrapinn and card making the most but enjoy other little side projects as well. I usually scrap with my mom and my 2-year-old daughter love to stamp so she sits with us as well. Its a great way to spend time together doing something we love.

My favorite paper craft is scrapbooking although I'm starting to love card making and stamping. I work mainly on my daughter's albums, but love to do altered items especially as gifts for family and friends.

Ok, i remember that one episode where Rosie O'Donnell shared with the world the wonders of scrapbooking. That's when i was sold.

Once i've put together a book, i feel refreshed and my memories are in order (and they're cute too!).

I'll jump on the scrapbooking bus. I just had some family in town from Seattle. My kids loved pulling out their albums and showing them off. It just makes it all worth while. I love having my memories preserved in such a thoughtful and artistic way.

[Cyndi]

I love scrapbooking, and would love to do more cards, I just find them harder to do! But here lately, I have been more into altering things and using paper to make home decor.

[Jessica Barnett]

I mostly do pages and altered stuff. I'm am not a big card person. Don't know why. I'll take just about anything :)

[BettyBee]

I love paper! I have been a calligrapher, and fancy "writer" since I was a kid, and started scrapbooking way before it was the rage. About 10 years ago CM came along, and I was hooked. Now I love doing cards, scrapbooking, and am addicted to my cricuts, cuttlebug, stickles, "skittles", pearlex, embossing, vinyl and just about anything new. I like simple designs, and think the photos and journaling are key to the story. A teacher at heart, I love to share my love for the art with all who come around.

[fancyMelissa]

Betty, I'm addicted to all those things too. Especially patterned paper. And I am all about simple designs. Are you formally teaching any classes?

hey better--you said 'fancy' writer--have you ever heard of something called 'Tiny Writing'? it was popular in the stamping world about 9 years ago--
