Weekly Wrap-up: A little bit sugary!

Happy Sunday!

I feel like the weekend is never long enough, it’s always come and gone in a blink of an eye!

I’ve got a little treat for you today! I caught up with Ana of Sugary Fancy and got her to share some fun tidbits about herself. Ana is our Guest Designer for the month of August, and I just love her doodles and her sense of FUN! I asked Ana to take a silly photo of herself – SMOOCHES!

What are three things you MUST have for designing?

Well it depends on the day…. LOL Some days I just need the total silence of the world and sometimes too much silence makes me crazy and then I need some music, something relaxing or inspiring! But I always have tons of folders and many windows opened 🙂 I don’t drink coffee, I mean I drink coffee at morning (breakfast) and at night only… and I’m not that one who is always taking a snack, I usually like to focus on my work only and just drink water… well I can’t say the same about facebook, pinterest, etc. that’s almost always distracting me!! =/ LOL

What is your favorite part about designing?

I love everything about designing… I think I love doodling! hehehe! But yes, I love everything, doing papers is fun, coloring doodles, putting everything on the preview and choosing the best way for it to be.

What was your inspiration for “Little Miss Jolly” ?

First I saw an image with the colors, orange, yellow, pink, brown and I thought that this colors combo would be a good choice for a girlie kit, then I started thinking in about what to draw and add to it!

Do you have a design process? For example, do you plan something out ahead of time or do you just get an idea out of the blue and decide, “Yes, I’ll do that!” ?

I’ll say the same! It will depends on the day and of where my inspiration come from!
Sometimes a theme just pops into my head and I just start taking notes and doing things! And sometimes I’m on the web and find something inspiring and I just start creating! Well I have to say that also, sometimes, my mind is a complete blank sheet bwahaha and then I need to think, take some notes, ask my hubby about a thing and so on! 🙂

Do you have any other hobbies or passions in addition to designing/scrapping?

Oh that’s easy! YES, many many passions, besides almost all kinds of art, I LOVE painting (love painting walls) , home decor (I have a little collection of magazines), craft, dogs, movies, music, chocolates, etc, etc…. LOL
