Now that you know which designer we're talking to, let's learn a little more about them and family comes first:

Husband: Eric
Kids: Julie and AJ
Pets: Rosie ( a Jack Russell) and Max (an orange tabby kitten)

What do you like doing with your family? Spending the afternoon at the park

It's an alternate universe and you're computer won't turn on for an entire week, what do you do with yourself? Take some Valium and sleep the week away?? Just kidding, I would take the kids to the park every day, do some shopping, maybe even (oh no!) clean the house, lol.


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 May of 2009 and I taught myself for the most part. Fortunately, there are also a lot of wonderful ladies in this business who are willing to answer a newbie's questions!

What program/programs do you use to design? PSCS3 and PSE7, as well as Inkscape


Where do you get your inspiration? From my children. Most of my kits reflect their current interests.

How did you pick your digi-scrap name? I live in Baltimore, which is known as Charm City. So...


What’s your favorite kit that you've designed? My favorite kits are all my latest ones, since I've started drawing my own elements. Right now, Bedtime Story is my favorite, but the one I'm working on now is going to take it's place!


Alright, this is a hard one, but what's your least favorite? This one wasn't so hard for me. My least favorite kit was the birthday kit I made when I first started designing. I had no idea about texture, sizing, quality, and drop shadows, so when I look back, I cringe!

Describe yourself in one word: Mommy

Share a secret with us, what's something that not everyone knows about you? I hate to drive. If I ever won millions of dollars in the lottery, I'd hire a chauffer first.


If I said you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go? Bora Bora.

What is your favorite food? Steak

Do you collect anything? I am a teacher, so I collect school supplies, lol. And books. And scrapbook supplies. And snowmen.

What is your favorite TV show? Medium

What is your favorite color? Yellow
