Inside the Artist’s Studio
How do you come up with the names for your products?
Usually the name comes from a phrase I want to use as a text strip or word art. I’m not so good with names, I tend to be too literal and not that creative when it comes to naming.
Do you scrapbook too or just design? If you scrapbook, share your favorite layout. If you don’t, do you wish you did?
I used to scrapbook a ton, but now I’m about 6 years behind! I was all caught up until I had the twins 8 years ago…then I started falling behind fast. I’d really like scrap more. One of my favorite pages is…
When you scrap, do you prefer to use your products or those from another designer?
Not sure I “prefer” it, but in reality I tend to use my own so I have an additional sample page for advertising and also because I’m lazy and it is easier to use one of my new kits than it is to search the store and download something else. But when something really strikes me and I have the perfect photo for it I’ll grab it!
What kind of colors do you naturally gravitate toward and can count on getting great results from when you work?
Brights! I’ve tried so many times to start with a subdued color palette and I almost always end up brightening up the colors before I’m even ¼ the way through designing the kit.
What’s your favorite thing about being a digital scrapbook designer?
So many, many things! I get to design what “I” want, what I’m excited about with the colors and themes I choose. My schedule is entirely flexible and with 3 young kids that is important. In addition I get to work from home!!
Food For Thought
Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength?
Neither, I think it is healthy and sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself.
Is it possible to lie without saying a word?
Absolutely.
Which activities make you lose track of time?
I could read for days straight I think!
Which is worse, failing or never trying?
Never trying, but that is much easier said than done.
What is the most desirable trait another person can possess?
Open mindedness, being able to understand another’s opinion/stance/belief even if it doesn’t match your own.
