I was fortunate enough, that my dear friend Ros nominated me as one of the crafter that inspired her, thank you Ros, you are a great inspiration to me as well.

Here are the answers of the questions being asked -

What am I working on
I usually get my DT work done as soon as we have the theme set up, they includes work for City Crafter Challenge Blog and LESSology monthly challenge. Besides the DT work, I took part in a few challenges regularly, like Papertrey ink make it monday, My Favorite Things color palette challenge and Moxie Fab World whenever they have a challenge.

How does my work differ from others of it genre
I don't know, you tell me, LOL!
I only know that I like trying different thing, I love shabby chic, lots of layers but I also love clean and simple, especially now that postage are so high, I tends to do more flat, envelope friendly cards.

Why do I create what I do
Simply one word - JOY

How does your creative process work
Not sure if it sounds weird to you, most of the time, when I see something that inspired me, it could be a magazine cover, it could be window display, it could be something I see from blogland, images from tumblr etc.... I need to get to my craft room like right away.... when it doesn't allowed, it bothers me even in my sleep, I will keep thinking about it and just can't wait for get into the craft room first thing in the morning. But.... a lot of time, the project just didn't come up the way I had in mind, it revolves along the way.... and it might turn out something completely different from what I had in mind at the first place, weird?

Alright, so much of me, I better stop here.

To keep the Creative Blog Hop going, I have to pick two crafters that I admire, here you go....

Audrey Pettit from A Peek Into My Scrappy World
What I love most about Audrey's work is.... she is just amazing in everything she does, she has an eye for colors, her style is sweet and feminine and very eye catching, besides all her paper crafts, she also great at sewing, every time she posted a sewing project, I just want to run into my craft room and pull some of the fabrics out and start working, haha.. but my craft room is so packed and I had to put the fabrics in a big plastic box at the bottom of all the paper, that makes it hard to get them out, whew...

Audrey is good at holiday decor, especially halloween, if you haven't seen one of Audrey's haunted house tour, you gotta to check it out.

........................

Ira Huberts from Ira's Crea Corner
Ira's work is like a beautiful display in an art gallery, a museum..... every of her projects looks like it needs tons of hours, it is complex and it always come with a story, but most importantly, it is always unique and beautiful.

Thanks for the inspiration Audrey and Ira, I hope you keep the Creative Blog Hop going in this great place we all shared - THE BLOGLAND!

For the past three years, with the help my amazing team, City Crafter Challenge Blog had become a fun place for us and many.... I can't thank enough to my team mates, past and present....

Today is especially sad also because one of my best team mate (from the beginning of our challenge blog) and dear friend Linda, is leaving us.... this is Linda's last challenge with us at City Crafter, she is on to her new phrase of her life, beginning her amazing journey (I'll let her tell you about it, check out her blog regularly). 

I found Linda online through her blog My Happy Place when I was looking for DT for CCCB 3 years ago. I was living in New York City at that time, soon after I moved to Las Vegas, we finally met up in person, here's our first meeting - June 25, 2010

Linda, I am going to miss you dearly, you are such a sweet soul and great friend. I know I will miss our lovely lunches together, and the fun dinner get-together, all 4 of us... hearing your amazing stories of your camping trips.... do keep us update on what's going on in your life every now and then... (sop sop....) I wish you and Bruce all the best on your new journey! Please stop by City Crafter once in a while to say hello, I know everyone there will miss you as well.
