TSG 10 Questions and Answers:

Q1. What do you typically start a project with? What's picked first: stamps, embellishments, DP, colors.....?
A1. I usually pick stamps I want to use. Then colors or DP. I hardly pick the embellishments for starting.

Q2. Do you give away your cards, sell them, send them or hoard them? Or all of the above??
A2. I give away, send them or hoard them (most of, lol) but I never sell them before...I'm interested in doing though. I just don't know where to start!

Q3. If you could design your own stamp or stamp set, what would it be?"
A3. A tough question! I never thought about designing my own stamps, lol. But if I could....I'd like to Kanji (Chinese letters) stamps with my own hand writing :)

Q4. Where do you get your inspiration?
A4. Many things....fabric, home interior magazine, natures, subscribed blogs....and SCS gallery!

Q5. How do you balance your stamping time with your personal time/work/kids/etc.?
A5. This is something I want to ask other Trendsetters, too! I'm a SAHM right now and my stamping time is during my kids are at school. I do cleaning and laundry and important phone calls during the time also. After they come home after school, it's a family time. I help them homework, cook and spend a time with my family. If I need more time, I will go to my studio after they goes to bed until my hubby calls me "Bed Time!" lol. I usually write my blog in the living room during watching the kids and TV.

Q6. What is your favorite embellishment?
A6. I have to say it's ribbons!

Q7. What is something that not a lot of people know about you?
A7. Is anything you don't know about me?? Well, maybe my age. I'll be 36 next month. Oh, and I was born and grew up in Tokyo -- the biggest city in Asia and now I live a small town that doesn't even have traffic lights, lol. You talkin' a culture shock!!

Q8. On average how long does it take to create one of these fabulous cards we see each week??
A8. It's depend how much the card is complicated. But I think the average is 1 hour.

Q9. What is your favorite coloring medium?
A9. Primacolor pencils and gamsol is my favorite. I also like Copics and reinkers with watercolor brush.

Q10. What time of day do you prefer to do your creating?
A10. Anytime except early mornings. I'm not a morning person.
