Where do you call home?
Born & raised in So Cal, but now live in Idaho. I wish we’d moved sooner!!
Tell us a little about your family…
Hubby & I have been married 38 years. We’re empty nesters now. We have 3 kids. Kayla is 32, living in Florida with her hubby and their 4 boys; Josh is 26, he’s in Florida studying to be an airplane mechanic; Connor is 24, lives in North Idaho working for an architectural software company.
When did you join Sweet Shoppe Designs & what’s your favorite thing about being a member of the team?
I joined SSD in 2011. It took me quite a while to be confident enough to post! I feel blessed to be among so many amazingly talented and creative ladies. I love the friendliness and helpfulness of the team and community!
Where do you find inspiration for your pages?
I usually use the kit as inspiration for my pages. I have SO many photos that need to be scrapped, so I can find a picture for almost any kit. I also enjoy getting inspiration from the SSD Gallery, Pinterest, and on Facebook.
What are your must-have digi-scrap supplies and what kind of gear do you use for scrapping & photography?
Flowers & foliage are must-haves for me! I love clustering, and want lots of sting, ribbons, and themed elements to add to my clusters. I am also a huge template fan!! I scrap using Photoshop Elements on a PC that our youngest put together for me, with three monitors. It’s quite the setup! I take photos with my Google Pixel Pro10.
What is something we may not know about you?
I am addicted to Disneyland. We were Annual Passholders for about 15 years. It feels like home to me. We went so often, that by the time my boys were teenagers, they asked to NOT go. One awesome thing that being an AP afforded me was the joy of meeting a lot of my digi scrapping friends IRL! The only downside of living in Idaho is not being able to go to Disneyland.
