Today I'm happy to have Monique from the blog, Creative Girl Living in a Country World! I've asked her a few questions about her paper craft:
1. How did you get started in papercraft?
1. How did you get started in papercraft?
Due to various events that I made invites, favors, and baskets for, my mother stated that I should do this as a business. So that’s what I did. I concentrated on notecards, but still do invites, favors and baskets for clients.

2. What are your favorite tools of the trade?
Unique color paper stock, edgers, punches and papery accessories.

5. And a few either/or questions just for fun:
Sunny or rainy? Sunny
Cupcakes or pancakes? Pancakes, I don’t eat cake of any kind, but I’ll eat the hell out of some icing.
Shorts or skirts? Skirts.
Thanks for sharing, Monique!

I really love this papercraft. It's an art that needs to keep fighting the internet all the way! Monique might really enjoy a blog called Old Paper Art. He's been decorated envelopes since before the Vietnam war and saved all of it. He even made me some envelope art and sent it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the "never give up."
Beautiful work Monique!
Wow! That's a long time to be decorating envelopes. How cool!
DeleteI love seeing things made of cute paper! So fun!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I tend to collect cute paper without a purpose, but I always think I'll use it someday. ;)
DeleteBeautiful cards! I got into card making for soldiers over seas to send home to their families awhile back and became instantly hooked. I don't make cards for that cause anymore (though I should!) but I still make all my Christmas cards. I must say, though, that mine don't turn out nearly as nice as these! Monique, your mom was so right! Wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you were making them for soldiers. I'm sure that meant so much to them (and their families who were receiving them). And I love that you make all your Christmas cards. I've always wanted to do that.
DeleteA BIG THANK YOU to Catherine for my feature! Also I would like to thank Joni James (your work is beautiful, seen you on Bella's blog Citizen Rosebud and you and I should do a collab), Kristin Rae (you've got a great eye and good luck with your pitch) and Beckie (let's do a blog button swap) for your wonderful compliments.
ReplyDeleteI hope you become followers of my blog, and friend me on Google Friend Connect.
Thanks for everything ladies!
Joni and Kristin if you do blog button swaps, let's do that as well.
