Interview and giveaway with Scrumptious Delight

I have a treat for you guys!!!!
I have an interview and GIVEAWAY from one of the best plushie designers that I have ever clapped eyes on!!
Let's get to know Rebecca better before we enter the giveaway!!!
Cotton candy plushies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Tell us a bit about yourself, your background and how you got into creating your amazing softies!
I'm originally from Bournemouth in the UK but have moved around a lot. I have
lived in Portugal, Spain, France and now in Vancouver, Canada.I have a common-law
husband, a son (11yrs), a daughter (7yrs), 2 cats, 2 guinea-pigs and some fish. I
have always loved soft toys and have always been quite creative, as a kid I used
to make little toys out of felt and loved any kind of crafty activity. I think it
really took off when my children were smaller and moving to North America and
becoming part of The Plushteam ( http://www.plushteam.com/ ) has opened up a whole
new world to me.

2. What/who inspires you and why?

I can be inspired by all kinds of thing, food, family, friends... I love fabric
and very often an idea will start from there. I am also inspired and motivated by
all the other amazing artists out there, when you see the caliber of work out
there it forces you to push yourself and progress.

3. If you could take a 2 week vacation anywhere this summer, where would you go
and why?
Hmmm, there's lots of places I would love to see but high on the list would be
Alaska, to maybe catch a glimpse of polar bears, Japan, to surround myself with
all that kawaii goodness or New Zealand because the place just looks so beautiful!


4. How would you describe your wonderful style?
Tough one...when I'm doing a craft fair the comment I hear most is cute...so I
guess kawaii.

5. Do you have a website/blog???
Ahem!...blogging is actually one of my New Year's resolutions...I haven't quite
got round to that on yet but I sell on Etsy and I also use flickr a lot.

6. How did you come up with your design name?
One of my favourite books as a kid was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its
an abbreviation on the "Whipple Scrumptious Fudge Mallow Delight" bar.

7. When you were a child what did you want to be when you grew up?
I guess I was pretty fickle but I had many ideas around animals and art and
crafts.

8. What do you love the most and least about working for yourself?
I love being around for my kids, I hate the incredible mess of my living/work
space.

9. What makes you laugh??
My kids, my cats, Family Guy, Josh Gates (on Destination Truth), oh and lots of
things!

10. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
I'm really a dog person but cats always look like they have a better time of
things...so probably some kind of feline.

11. How would you decorate a cupcake to represent your personality?
Lots of pink frosting piled messily on the cupcake and raspberries and shavings of white chocolate on top of that.

12. As a designer, what are you most proud of that you have accomplished to date.
The 2 pieces that I have made that I am most proud of are the gumball machine and
"down goes Alice" which was made for an Alice in Wonderland themed show. I'm also
very proud to have had some of my toys featured on the cover of the magazine
"Stuffed" just recently.
