Featured Blogger- Laura Sterckx

For those new to my blog, on the first Monday of each month, I feature one of the bloggers that I follow. When I read blogs, I always enjoy getting to know the person BEHIND the blog. Whether it be a crafty blogger, a lifestyle blogger or a fellow young single gal- I love putting away the formalities and having a “conversation” with a blogger I enjoy.

Today I’m bringing a YOUNG blogger that has so much talent. You may have seen her work in the past- she’s been a guest designer for an Online Card Class, she’s a DT member for the Simon Says Stamps Challenge blog and she’s won different challenge awards. Please give a warm welcome to Laura Sterckx!

Tell us about your blog. When and why did you start it?

I start my blog back in June 2011 so I could share my cards and communicate with people from all over the world.

How and when did you get introduced to stamping?

I got introduced to stamping in 2010. I was browsing some crafting videos on YouTube and then I suddenly came across a video from Kristina Werner. I absolutely loved how she created such beautiful cards. Shortly after, I purchased stamps and inks and I was looked. :)

The crafting/ blogging world constantly has new trends. What trends are you really into right now?

I am really into the Clear Wink of Stella pen right now! I could use that pen on every single card. It gives such a beautiful shimmer. I also really love to use sequins lately!

You’re accomplished a lot already in your crafting endeavors….in your book, what has been your proudest moment so far?

My proudest moment so far has been me joining the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog team. I always loved to join their challenge so when they first asked me to be a guest designer, I was really proud! Then, a couple months later they asked me to join their design team. I was SO happy and I still am. :)

Do you have any goals or dream for yourself in crafting? (If you feel comfortable sharing them)

I certainly do! I would really love to join the Simon Says Stamp Artist Team one day, which would be a dream come true.

What has been your favorite part about blogging?

I think that is is just wonderful that people take their time to read my blog posts and that they leave comments! They always put a smile on my face!

Okay, now onto some fun questions that are not related to crafting…

Besides crafting, what do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

I love to spoil my dog Jinny in my pare time. She is just so sweet! I also like to watch television with my parents and to go shopping with my mom. We always have a blast together! :)

How would you describe your personality?

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?

The United States for sure! I would really like to meet my crafty friends one day. I think that we would have so much fun together making cards and chatting! I would bring Belgian chocolate with me! :)

Name 5 things that you are most passionate about:

Family, cardmaking and blogging, being healthy, visiting friends and of course, my darling dog Jinny.
