1) How long have you been stamping?
technically I started stamping around 11-12 years ago when I started scrapbooking but I really got into it about 7 years ago as far as cardmaking goes.
2) How many stamps do you think you have?
probably between 100-200
3) What was the last stamp you purchased?
Penny Black hello gorgeous. Pretty sure it's an older set.
4) What do you think is hard/challenging about stamping/paper-crafting
sometimes I will get an idea in my head of how I want something to look and get frustrated when it doesn't turn out the way I wanted it too.
5) Is your stamping area clean or messy? (Bonus points if you post a photo.)
clean since it's a shared space in the family room.
6) What type of on-going (regular, not fest) challenges would you be interested in this year?
technique challenges are always fun. Card sketch or color challenges are fun too. Maybe a birthday card challenge similar to Iring's monthly Christmas challenge.
7) What technique would you like to learn or improve on?
heat embossing. I've always struggled with it!
What type of card do you need the most often? What is the last type of card you sent?
birthday and birthday card!
9) Opinion: what is the best ink for stamping?
hmmm, depends! I like memento for coloring images with pencils or markers. Versafine is my fave for sentiments and also watercoloring images. And for solid images I like chalk inks, hero arts inks, memento has nice dye inks. Distress is the most fun to play with. I'm an ink equal opportunist

10) What do you want to ask?
IF you had to for a whole year, do you think you could make a new card/project without reusing a stamp?
