Favourite snack/beverage while crafting:  Gum!  I have a collection of sugar free chewing gum in my drawer of my desk and have a hard time designing without having a piece of gum in my mouth!

Do you listen to music while crafting? What are your favourite songs/albums to listen to?  I usually have my computer tuned to a variety of sermon podcasts or inspirational/Christian music.  Since my stamping room is on one side of family room downstairs, there is usually a cartoon or video game being played at the same time too!  

Are you a messy crafter or a crafter who needs a clean and clear space to work in?  I definitely need it to be clean but when I finish a project, I almost always leave a mess on my table (unless I need to take a photograph of it right away for a design team assignment, then I'll put away most of the stuff right away.)  Normally though, when I go to my room to begin creating, I take the time to put everything away that was left on my table from the previous project. You see, when I sit down to stamp, I nearly always created anywhere from 3 - 5+ projects, so when I'm done - I'm done!  I prefer to clean and organize at the beginning of my stamping time because it also helps me decide what I'm going to use on my projects that I'm getting ready to create!

LOL I get such a kick out of the new C.C. Designs Cupig Rubber Stamp - it comes with the sentiment and I LOVE it! I love how Jessica colored him in and added a bit of glitter to his arrow so that it stands out more.

And of course I'd by lying if I said I wasn't partial to this card Jessica's made with the new AmyR Stamps Heart-y Sayings Rubber Stamps. I love that she featured JUST the sentiments - you really don't need an "image" for every card - sometimes you can just let the words do the work!

I'll see you guys here next Monday!

I was just catching up on all your cards on here and I love the detail in your work! The stitching is CRAZY!!! That must take so long to do, but it really adds a lot of love to your cards! And the Liquid Pearl Snowflakes.. okay, I did that this weekend for the first time and loved it. Now today I see you've had the same idea and I think it really adds so much to your cards as well! Thank you for sharing your creations! =)

Both of these cards are so cute.

Oh my goodness - these are adorable! Jessica, it's so much fun reading about you. Now, every time I see one of your cards, I'll imagine you rockin' to Casting Crowns, and chewing gum :) Beautiful, my friend!
