*This post is stuck to the top of the blog, for now - please scroll down for regularly scheduled programming!* :)
I've been a fan of Mandi's for a long, long while - (I know she inspires you guys, too!! Paper-wise, design-wise and fashion-wise...) so I'm totally psyched to have a rad giveaway sponsored by her lovely self over here at Scissor Quirk!
She's been so kind as to offer one of her great "Housewife" paper kits up to one lucky blog reader! (Yay!!) First, a little more about the girl behind the amazingly inspiring designs:
What's your name? Amanda Johnson
Where can we find you? http://candimandi.typepad.com and @candimandi on twitter
What
are your most favorite things to do? I love being crafty
(scrapbooking!) and thrifty (vintage shopping!), and of course hanging
out with friends. An old movie and bowl of popcorn always make for a
fun time as well!
Favorite Tune: Horchata by Vampire Weekend. It's like an instant vacation.
Favorite
Something: sheepskin throws. I want them everywhere
in my home this winter! (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/
What was your design inspiration for the scrapbook kit? I was definitely overwhelmingly inspired by vintage fashion, mainly vintage textiles. I love finding old feedsacks and dresses made from old feedsacks. The patterns are so bold, yet simple. A perfect ingredient to scrapbooking, if you ask me!
What's your favorite item
in the kit? Well, I made
the wooden mini albums by hand. A lot of labor and love was involved,
so it would stand to reason that they are my favorite part!
Here is a
photo of the albums mid-production:
