Getting to Know :: Joanna {Bandelin} scrap-making.blogspot.com

How long have you been blogging and what inspired you to create a blog for your creations?
I have been a blogger since the beginning of this year. When I first started my blog it was mostly so I can follow other bloggers that I thought were inspirational, but now I get to inspire others with my projects also! I like sharing my creations and getting feedback on what I make (it's always nice to get compliments for what you create!).

What are some of your biggest inspirations for creating?
My family is my biggest inspiration! Almost all of my scrapbook layouts are of my husband or my daughter (or my dog). Everything my daughter does inspires me to make some new page. When I'm card-making, I get most of my inspiration from books and magazines. And I love getting inspired by nature!

You're asked to get crafty in a room with absolutely no supplies - you can bring five tools. What do you bring with you?
Only five!? Well I couldn't live without :
1. My Cricut 2. My Gypsy 3. A White Gelly Pen 4. Twine and 5.Pop Dots

What is your FAVORITE Peachy Keen Stamp Face Set and why?
I love them all, but if I have to choose it would have to be the Laughy Taffy Face set. This is definitely my Go-To set! I just love how much life and personality these faces bring.

Your "go-to" colors to design with?
Kraft, pink and teal.

Favorite season or holiday to create for?
I love Christmas! It's my #1 fav holiday! I just get all warm and fuzzy inside when I see those cute little snowmen, penguins, gingerbread mans and reindeers! And I love making homemade gifts for everyone.

What die-cutting system or method do you primarily use to craft with?
My life pretty much evolves around my Cricut! LOL

What are five words that describe you?
1.Patient 2. Creative 3.Caring 4.Artistic 5.Friendly

Getting to Know :: Erin Lee {Schreiner} www.erinleecreative.com

How long have you been blogging and what inspired you to create a blog for your creations? What are some of your biggest inspirations for creating?
I started my craft blog in 2010. I decided it would be a great opportunity to finally journal some of my work that I give away so I could look back at my past work. My biggest reason however, was to inspire others with ideas and creativity by sharing my personal creations. I draw inspiration from just about anywhere - my background is in advertising and graphic design, so ads, marketing campaigns, colors, magazines, and of course, PAPER are all inspiring to me.

You're asked to get crafty in a room with absolutely no supplies - you can bring five tools. What do you bring with you?
My Cricut Expression, Gypsy, paper, my ribbon collection and and my Peachy Keen Stamps of course! :)

What is your FAVORITE Peachy Keen Stamp Face Set and why?
Do I have to pick just one? My favorite set right now would have to be Retro Faces. I love how versatile they are. I can use them with so many different cartridges and get so many different looks.

Your "go-to" colors to design with?
Hot pink and black. And teal of course! Hence, my blog design :)

Favorite season or holiday to create for?
Halloween is not my favorite holiday, but definitely my favorite holiday to create for. I love the paper that comes out, the Cricut cartridges and of course the AWESOME Peachy Keen Stamps for cute monsters and pumpkins!

What die-cutting system or method do you primarily use to craft with?
My Cricut Expression and Gypsy

What are five words that describe you?
Fun-loving, creative, passionate, witty, optimistic
