Morning bloggers..
Here is an Interview with another one of our DT members,
Tell us a bit about yourself..
My
name is Jacqueline Smith and I'm 48 years old. I hail from Edmonton,
Alberta, Canada where it snows for at least 6 months of year and longer,
like this year . I'm single mom with a 18 year old son named Cameron.
We also have a yellow lab name Sarah and a Ball Python name Snappy, not
my idea for a pet.

* How long have you been crafting & Why did you start??
I started
crafting when my son was quite small around 2001 thinking I would
scrapbook his life with all the pictures I took. But what really started
it, was when I went to this Store called Western Educational Activities
where I was looking for some books for my son who is special needs and
went to the other side and saw these wonderful cards. I actually thought
I could make cards cheaper than buying them at Hallmark. Ha, Ha! was I
ever wrong. I met this fabulous lady name Cathie Allan who taught me
everything I know about making cards. I think my cards are more
expensive but they are a labour of love especially when I went thru some
difficult time when I lost my husband to Cancer 5 years ago. It gave me
a sense of happiness when I was dealing with my grief.
* What is your favorite craft/style/tecnique?
My style is I
put my heart into every detail of the cards I create, which varies from
unique cards that have a simplicity to the, to more elaborate cards that
are engaging and detailed. My cards are unique with emphasis on the
exquisite detail for every occasion and no two cards are exactly alike.
This keeps me inspired to keep defining myself as a card maker whose
intricate cards give great joy to people and me when they receive my
cards. I started blogging in November 2010, because I needed somewhere
to have my cards shown when I did card challenges for stamp c
companies. Then I wanted to have companies send me free product so I
decided to try my hand at Design Teams and I'm on 5 different design
teams right now.
* What are your crafty plans for the future??
In the future I would love to go to Ranger University
and meet up with Tim Holtz and the rest of the gang. I would love to get
on bigger Companies like Sizzix, JustRite, Gina K, FLourishes and Our
Daily Bread Designs to name a few of the bigger companies out there.
Maybe I would have my own line of stamps too! But in reality, I love to
colour and enjoy the creativity of making cards and scrapbook pages.
Show us some of your DT work for Stamping Dragon Design..
