Creative Blog Hop

I was blown away when I found I had been nominated to do this blog hop by Zoe Russell....Thank you so much Zoe....
This is a continuous blog hop every monday with a host of inspirational bloggers taking part
There are a few questions that I've been asked...so I'll do my best to answer them....

1. What am I working on....
At the moment I am working on a few Artist Trading Cards that are for a group swap, in between that I have been painting some wooden christmas ornaments for my drift wood christmas tree. I'm also working on an altered art project which is my deign team piece for my challenge blog.
2. How does my work differ from others in the my genre....
I'm not sure how my work differs from others in my genre, two people can be given the same items and each one will create something totally different from the other. Several people have told me I have my own style...but I can't see that, if that makes sense.
3. Why do I create what I do.....
I love the freedom of altered art, using all kinds of mediums,rather that sticking to paper and card.
I also enjoy making the smaller items,like Twinchies,Inchies and Atcs.
4. How does my creative process work....
It works in various ways, some times ideas just pop in to my head,other times my creativeness is inspired by colour or something I've seen. I've also had many times where I just play in my craft room and something clicks and I can create something that I haven't planned, sounds silly but I think it happens to most artists. For me those are my best pieces.

Nominations.....
Firstly I would like to nominate Rebecca Swanson.....who I got to know through a craft group we were both in a few years ago. I have always admired her work, everything she makes is just so beautiful...Shabby Chic/Vintage is predominately her style, whether it's a card or altered art,you can see instantly that it has her "stamp" on it....Please visit  Rebecca's Blog

Secondly I would like to nominate Sammy Jean....who I got to know through my own design team. Her creations are varied, from cute cards to altered art. She loves Vintage and Tim Holtz, lol. Whatever Sammy creates it is always gorgeous, she has great attention to detail which I admire in a crafter.
