Unexpected Inspirations
As a criminal analyst, Sue has to have an eye for patterns. But it’s the unexpected that helps bring her crafting products to life.
“I’m definitely inspired by others and particularly when someone uses an item for something that was not it’s intended use,” said Sue who makes homemade cards for Stampersaurus Studios.
After 12 years of practicing her skills, crafting is a big part of her life. “When I’m not crafting, I’m usually shopping for craft items,” she said. “I’m a craft store junkie.”
Two years ago, her hobby developed into a business that sells many types of custom holiday cards. “I used to teach rubber stamping several years ago, but I’m too busy now to teach or attend any classes,” Sue said adding that she misses that interaction.
Combined with her day job, it’s a hectic schedule. “My husband thinks that I’m a little obsessed, but he doesn’t complain,” Sue said. “After all, when I’m crafting he can go off and do his own thing, which he enjoys.”
Like most home crafters, Sue struggles to find enough space for her ever growing enterprise. “My workspace is a complete and utter disaster area,” she said. “Too much stuff and not enough space!”
