1. Tell
us a little about yourself and your family
My name is
Wida Miller (pronounced Wee-dah). I am a mom of 4 (Sophia age 9, Bennett age 6,
Anya age 3, and Karina age 2), a nurse practitioner, a pretty good cook, kind
of messy, way too chatty, so analytical it will give you a headache, and pretty
funny if I do say so myself. I married my husband in college and moved to
Colorado from Ohio for his job in 1999. I have been blogging for about a year
now.
2. How
and when did you start crafting?
I started
scrapbooking in 2003 around the time of the birth of my first child. About 5
years ago I started making cards after watching Kristina Werner. I still
scrapbook, but currently have an obsession with cards.
3. From
where do you draw your inspiration?
You can find a list
of inspirations on the blog post here, but my favorite is Pinterest.
4. How
would you describe your style?
Fresh and Edgy CAS
5. How
much time do you spend crafting every week?
Some weeks none, and
some weeks about 5 hours, perhaps? But that doesn't include photography
and blog post time. I usually batch photo and posts, that is, make 3-5 cards,
then photograph and upload them all in one sitting, then set up posts in
another sitting. My blogging has slowed down with time, when I
first started blogging I was addicted to challenges and would post almost
daily!
6. What
are the 5 top tools in your crafting space?
Besides the usual
scoreboard, cutter, camera, ATG gun etc. my most used items would be my
Cuttlebug (I like to emboss and cut die shapes), Versafine onxy black ink
(it is dark and if you mess up a bit, you can emboss it and it forgives a bit)
, glitter, twine (hemp, bakers, and even the cross stitching kind), and versa
mark/clear embossing powder.
7. What
is your go-to colors?
I love vintage cream
card stock, pink, gray and green
8. What
is your favorite technique?
Die cutting and
glitter...that is glitter with die cuts, in splatter, on the edge of card
stock, covered in chipboard...EVERY KIND OF WAY, I LOVE GLITTER!
9. If
you could work for any manufacturer, who would it be?
Studio Calico, Hero
Arts, and October Afternoon.
10. Are
you currently designing for any blog?
I design for Runway
Inspired Challenge, A Blog Named Hero, and another one coming soon ;)
