Hello and welcome to Inspired By All The Little Things! This is a weekly inspiration challenge blog and each week we feature a wonderful designer who inspires us as an artist!
Happy Saturday! Lesley here! This week I have invited the lovely and talented Amy Kolling to be my guest! Amy and I have known each other for a while in this bloggy world and a couple of years ago, we met at the CHA in Anaheim. I was so excited when she agreed to Guest this week! Thank you for joining us, Amy!
I asked Amy to share a bit about herself...
What is the name of your blog? When and why did you start it?
My blog is
called Stamp-n-Paradise. I started my blog back in May 2010. I had no idea
it's been that long! I've definitely been stamping longer
than that. I
started, like so many, with scrapbooking my wedding until I found stamping and
realized how FUN it was!
What is
your style of card making?
I definitely
go for CAS and sometimes with a few layers. Totally depends on the
project!!
Who inspires
you as a designer?
I can't say
one person inspires me but rather it's the whole stamping community. I love
Instagram and following my stamping friends. There's a wealth of people to
inspire you there!
What sort of things inspire you as a
card maker? Photos? Sketches? Other designers?
For me,
inspiration is EVERYWHERE! I have found inspiration from fashion, home decor,
Pinterest, and of course Instagram. If I am ever stuck on a card design, a
sketch is always a starting place. I bookmark some of my favorite card sketch
challenges for inspiration.
Share something about yourself that we
may not know?
This May marks
my 20th year of marriage and 20th year of being a nurse. 20 years ago, I was
graduating one week from nursing school and the next week, I was getting married
with the following week starting my new job. Definitely not how I would "plan"
things again!
The challenge designers have also created a card for this week's inspiration! These ladies just inspire me SO much!!! I hope you will play along with us this week! We would love to have you join us!

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I'm so sorry, but I can't figure out for the life of me where to link up my card. I followed the linky prompt above to Always Playing With Paper, and found the butterfly challenge #13, but I can't figure out where to link? It's a wonderful challenge though!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why this happened, Michelle!? I am working on fixing it! Hugs!
