· Share a piece of work that you are proudest of

· Are you a messy crafter or tidy?

Very very messy

· Do you plan out your projects before starting or make it up as you go along?

This really depends on what I am doing if it’s for a DT card then 9 times out of 10 you have a theme and sometimes an image to use, if it’s a commissioned card then I ask about the person it’s for i.e what do they like or fav colour so I go with that but then I will sometimes see an image and think I can make a card with that and just see what happens

When using foam pads to stick down an image use a glue stick on them in case you pop it down in the wrong place and if you have any acetate or velum that won’t go through your printer attach it to a thin piece of card then try it, it works for me
