Stamp a Sweet Impression

Happy Friday! Do you have big plans for Halloween? It's a big holiday at Taylored Expressions, you know? The sweets, the decorations, the cats in costumes... *grin* Today Taylor has another sketch challenge for you over on her blog and we have a sample of it right here brought to you by Our Friday Friend. Please welcome Regina Mangum - you may know her as *thestampinbean*. Her Merry Little House card caught our attention last week, so we thought it would be nice to get to know her a bit better. Regina is making all pink cards this week in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Today's card features Wings of Joy, For the Love of Cupcakes and A Year of Sweet Sentiments. Do you see all three sets in there? You can hop over to Regina's blog The Stampin' Bean for more details.

--What city/state do you live in?
I just moved to New York, NY in August. I'm originally from Los Angeles.

--How did you become addicted to papercrafts? How long have you been stamping?
I've enjoyed craftmaking and papercrafts ever since I was a little girl, but it was only since the beginning of 2009 that I started stamping. My wonderful mom-in-law, an avid and talented stamper, got me hooked (much to the chagrin of her son!)

--How would you describe your style? What are you favorite projects to create?
I've been told that my style is a bit of everything. It depends on my mood, which means anything from clean and simple to bright and fun. I do admire all styles very much, so I think that's what makes mine a bit of a mish-mash. Though I also scrapbook, I love card-making most of all. I think it's so gratifying to make a hand-made card to send to someone I love. I'll make a card for no special reason and I know that the person that receives it gets a little bit of sunshine in their day. I also really enjoy making cards/scrapbook pages where I can use photographs or images that I've created myself.

--Do you have a favorite TE image?
That's a question with a near-impossible answer! What I love about Taylor's sets is that when you see one of her images, you know it's a TE stamp. Every time I get a new set, it becomes a favorite.

--What is your favorite sweet treat?
I am definitely an ice cream fan. I could eat it any time, any place. My poor husband is allergic to milk, but my son and I aren't, and we don't have any guilt about eating it in front of him!

THANKS REGINA FOR BEING OUR FRIDAY FRIEND!!!
