A "Something Different" Blog Hop

Some time ago Riikka asked me to participate to a blog hop that is going around in scrapbooking blogs. Of course I said yes! Riikka was one of the first Finnish scrapbookers I got to know. Her style is unique and she makes inspiring projects every time. Her talent just amazes me!

So let's move on to business and answer some questions!

1. What am I working on right now?
Right now I'm finishing my articles for the next Paperilla Magazine and making my DT layouts for CSI. It's been a busy summer but finally I have some time to scrapbook!

2. How long does it take me to create a project?

It depends. If I have the photo printed out already, it takes about 1-2 hours to make a layout. Sometimes it takes longer, sometimes less. As I rarely use paints and other wet mediums, it's pretty quick to scrap :)

3. What are my favorite things to create with at the moment?

I'm a bit stuck with my favorite colors so I must say all products that are peach/coral and mint green! Ah I just love those colors and my hands just always pick products with those colors :)

4. How does my writing/creating process work?

I have two approaches: either I have a product I want to use in mind or a photo. I'm trying to learn how to focus more on journaling, so that's something I keep in mind when I create.

When it comes to the design of my layouts, I feel that I have some "go-to" designs. Right now I'm trying to break the habit and intentionally make something different.


5. How do I become inspired and stay inspired?

Pinterest is my constant source of inspiration. It's full of ideas, tips and inspiration! I also follow a lot of fellow scrapbookers blogs. It's always fun to see what others have done and see different styles!

6. What is my signature style?

My style is clean and simple. It's also a bit girly (mostly because of my favorite colors!) and hope it's delicate too.

Part of the blog hop is to ask three inspiring bloggers to join. I've asked these three super talented scrappers to join:

Magda Mizera

She is the queen of clean and simple scrapbooking! I love her layouts and PL spreads, not to mention her photographs which are amazing!  She is definitely one of my favorite scrappers.

Elina Strömberg

Elina's work is always full of new ideas! She works so well with mixed media. She has such a beautiful scrapbooking style  and I just love it! 

Maakari

I have followed Maaka's blog about a year now and met her personally a few weeks ago at a scrapbooking event. Her style is so inspiring! She is also an amazing and fun person to be around!
