Flatterday Saturday - Laura Ching

Are you ready to get to know Laura Ching a little more???Let me introduce you to her!

Let me share a little more about Laura with her own words.
Tell us a little about yourself. I live in Aloha Oregon,  I have 2 girls who also love ippity and crafting and sometimes have projects on my blog too.  When I am not at school or my office    (www.freebears.com I have been selling stuffed animals online for over 10 years now! And my etsy shop, www.hairribbonboutique.etsy.com ) I am crafting, whether it is machine embroidery, cooking or paper crafting.  My husband is very supportive of my habits and even follows some manufacturers twitter accounts so he can chat with me about the latest!  How cute is that!! 

  How did you first get involved in stamping?My mom started hosting stampin up parties when I was in middle school, and I usually attended them with her.  Once my girls grew up a bit more I started looking around for a hobby and ended up with paper crafting.

 What is your stamping style?

Anything with lace or ribbon J

Tell us about your creative process

I need to have big mess and start creating elements and then it eventually comes together.  I keep a box of things that are interesting to me, tags, pictures, ribbon, color combos, and when I need inspiration start looking at those

What is your favorite {ippity} stamp set and why?

Regal greetings  I use it all the time!  I even used it to make labels for my fabric bins.

 How often do you stamp?

As often as I can but it is not often enough!  Usually on the weekends. 

 How long does it take you to make a project you are happy with?

That is a tough question!  The time can vary I have thrown some cards together in minutes and been shocked with the results and spent hours on others and hated them.

 What is your biggest paper crafting challenge?

Trying to be fair to all my stamps and use them!  So many supplies so much paper sooooo little time!
