Her Name Is Ann And She Is A Craftoholic...

Welcome to this week's edition of Craftoholics!

No idea what the what I'm talking about? Go here to find out more!

This week's Craftoholic is none other than the Queen of the Cards: Ann!



Please list any crafts you enjoy making. What is your favorite?

"I’m a paper crafter—--mostly cards and the occasional altered item."

When did you start making crafts? Was there a particular reason or event that got your started?

"I went to a Stampin’ Up! workshop about 5 years ago and became interested in cardmaking, although I didn’t get serious about it until last year."


I love seeing these four colors together on one card!

What do you like to do when you aren't crafting?

"I enjoy reading, writing, spending time with my hubby, and playing with my dog."

What makes you a craftoholic? What drives you to create?


"I’m a craftoholic because I make something almost every day of my life…and if I’m not making something, I’m surfing other crafty blogs for ideas or simply thinking about what I’ll create next. I often fall asleep with an idea on my mind, and when I wake up, the idea is there. I really do see inspiration everywhere. I carry a small notebook wherever I go, so when inspiration strikes, I can jot it down and work on it later."

That's me too! lol

What is your favorite food?

"I’m a sugar addict, so sweets are my weakness. Brownies are my all-time favorite treat."


I love the button flowers and touch of ribbon!


What food do you hate to eat?

"I hate green peppers and onions!"

How long have you been blogging?

"About a year."


Ooooo, love that glitzy star!


What do you like best about blogging?

"I love having a network of friends around the world who support me in this crazy obsession of mine. It’s fun to share comments with each other-—and to exchange good, old-fashioned snail mail. There’s nothing like opening up your mailbox to find a handmade card and some goodies waiting for you!"

What craft have you always wanted to try but, for whatever reason, never have?

"I’ve always wished I could sew."

*sigh* That's a big one for me too!

Oh no! You've been ship wrecked on a deserted island! (Luckily you grabbed your adhesive and scissors before you jumped ship!) Name 3 other crafting supplies that your creative survival depends upon! (Note: Capt. Jack Sparrow is not a crafting supply!)

"Yikes! Only 3 items?! I’d have to grab cardstock, ribbon, and some bling."

Thanks for letting me interview you Ann! You are definitely a Craftoholic!

Be sure to check back next Monday when another lucky victim...ahem, I mean crafter will be added to the Craftoholic family!
