It's an alternate universe and you're computer won't turn on for an entire week, what do you do with yourself? Although I think I would probably go through major, major withdrawals, I would enjoy going for bike rides, hanging out at the park with the kids, and taking some photos.
Alright, the computer's all better - let's talk digi-scrapping for a few minutes.When did you start designing and how did you learn? I started trying to design in early 2008. It took me months to do anything with what I had designed. I learned through lots of trial and error and found some great tutorials online. It wasn’t until October 2008 that I started my Digi Scrap blog and in November I fine tuned the kit I had been working on (off and on)for so long and was brave enough to offer it as a freebie on my blog. To my surprise, people actually downloaded it and liked it. That inspired me to do more and I am now very much addicted.
What program/programs do you use to design? I use Photoshop Elements to do all of my work.
Where do you get your inspiration? I often shop the fabric store to look for color palettes. Some of my kits have been inspired by my children and their favorite colors as well.
How did you pick your digi-scrap name? I don’t really know, I think it stems back to my grandmother actually. She had a business in Hawaii making porcelain dolls. It was “Just For You” but was in Hawaiian. (I have no idea how to spell it) I always liked that and that was what came to mind when I started thinking of a name for my design work.
What’s your favorite kit that you've designed? Oh this is a tough one, but I think my favorite kit has to be either Frosted Sherbet or Bold and Beautiful. Both kits came together so nicely. (Though it is really hard to leave out my Kaylee kit too.) Yikes!!! I don’t know.
Alright, this is a hard one, but what's your least favorite? Probably Raspberry Lemonade. I thought my idea was good, but the kit just didn’t come together for me the way I wanted it too.
Describe yourself in one word: BUSYShare a secret with us, what's something that not everyone knows about you? I often let my housework go undone so I can scrapbook or design. Then at the end of the day, I do a mad dash clean up effort so it doesn’t look that way.
If I said you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go? Hawaii-I have always had a love for the islands.
What is your favorite food? Pasta
Do you collect anything? Digi Scrap Supplies lol
What is your favorite TV show? One, I cannot choose. I love American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, Lost, House, ER and Grey’s Anatomy
What is your favorite color? This changes from time to time, but right now, it’s red.
