ABOUT LIZ

How long have you been making cards?
About 3 years - I started quite by accident and now I just LOVE it!

Why do you enjoy crafting so much?
I think I've always been the sort of girl who needed a creative outlet - whether it's been sewing or knitting or paper-crafting. I never seem to have been completely fulfilled unless I was creating something. I think it's how I best express myself - and my little sanctuary quite often.

Where do you craft?
In my teeny tiny little studio that my partner, Des, built for me in a room alongside my bedroom - it used to be my wardrobe!

When is your favourite time to craft?
Late at night when it's peaceful and there are no distractions. I'm in a world of my own!

What are your favourite things to do and / or use (at the moment)?
I love to design a one-off paper design especially for someone. And I just adore ribbons and buttons. I can't create anything without ribbons & buttons!

What's the newest thing you've bought?
I've just treated myself to some Primas - lots of them. Oooh, and some new ribbons & buttons - I just can't stop myself!

Favourite colours?
Pink and lilac I think. Although I do like using black.

Describe your style?
I think I would describe it as 'simple'.

Where do you get your inspiration?
Everywhere - from the colours in a piece of fabric, a bunch of flowers ...

What do you do when a card goes all wrong?
Throw it away and start again. And I get SO frustrated because I'm not the most patient girlie in the world!

If you didn't buy Card Making goodies, what would you spend your money on?
Shoes and handbags.

Chocolate? YES!

Favourite chocolate?
Thorntons Eden - TOOOOO gorgeous.

What's in your handbag right now?
My life! My mobile phone, purse,keys, make-up bag, perfume, lip balm, personal organiser, my favourite brolly, photos ... I know exactly where everything is too and keep it really organised. But that's only because I hate not being able to find anything immediately I want it!

Two things you couldn't live without?
Perfume & my lip balm.
