1. What is the name of your blog? When and why did you start it?

The name of my blog is "It's a Stamp Thing" link is www.tsastampthing-vicki.blogspot.com I started blogging in late 2007 because I wanted a way to share my love of stamping.

2. What is your style of card making?

This is a tough question for me, I have a hard time defining my style, I like clean lines and layers. I love any and all kinds of flower stamps and I especially love to create flowery cards. I do love whimsical and cute as well.

3. Who inspires you as a designer?

So many people inspire me, I love Jodi Collins, she has a style I adore. Connie Collins is a great source of inspiration, she constantly blows me away. If I could be either one of these ladies when I grow up I would be thrilled!!!

4. What sort of things inspire you as a card maker? Photos? Sketches? Other designers?

 I love a good sketch challenge, I always look for those when I need a starting point.

5. Share something about yourself that we may not know? 

I am a Halloween fanatic, I love all things Halloweeny, Well, the fun side of it anyway, I steer clear of the dark spooky stuff!

And here is Vicki's stunning card based on the inspiration!

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!
