One thing that’s staying the same is that we’ll be putting our designers into the spotlight twice a month so that you can grab an amazing kit for FREE when you spend $10 in the shoppe. We’ll be changing up the interview and spotlight just a bit in a couple of weeks, but we’re finishing off the current format with a designer who has been part of our team for ages!<\/p>\n

Just The Basics<\/p>\n

When is your birthday?<\/strong><\/p>\n

July 9th<\/sup><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your sign? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cancer<\/p>\n

Do you have any piercings? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Not sure if ears count, but if they do I\u2019ve got pierced ears, though the holes are probably all closed up since I haven\u2019t put any earrings in for years now!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite color?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purple in any shade or variation<\/p>\n

If you had $100 to spend online today, what would you buy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019d buy a new Wacom tablet\/pen and some filters and things for PSCS6. I recently upgraded from CS3 and many of my filters\/actions no longer work. L<\/p>\n

Coke or Pepsi?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coke, preferably cherry<\/p>\n

Read the book or watch the movie?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Read the book, then watch the movie.<\/p>\n

Cats or Dogs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cats \u2013 we have two beautiful Burmese ones\u2026a boy and a girl.<\/p>\n

Go out or stay in?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stay in \u2013 I\u2019m definitely an introvert.<\/p>\n

Cake or Ice Cream?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ice cream \u2013 anything chunky or chocolatety<\/p>\n

Inside the Artist’s Studio<\/p>\n

How do you come up with the names for your products?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Usually the name comes from a phrase I want to use as a text strip or word art. I\u2019m not so good with names, I tend to be too literal and not that creative when it comes to naming.<\/p>\n

Do you scrapbook too or just design? If you scrapbook, share your favorite layout. If you don’t, do you wish you did?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I used to scrapbook a ton, but now I\u2019m about 6 years behind! I was all caught up until I had the twins 8 years ago\u2026then I started falling behind fast. I\u2019d really like scrap more. One of my favorite pages is…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you scrap, do you prefer to use your products or those from another designer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not sure I \u201cprefer\u201d it, but in reality I tend to use my own so I have an additional sample page for advertising and also because I\u2019m 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\u2019ll grab it!<\/p>\n

What kind of colors do you naturally gravitate toward and can count on getting great results from when you work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brights! I\u2019ve tried so many times to start with a subdued color palette and I almost always end up brightening up the colors before I\u2019m even \u00bc the way through designing the kit.<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite thing about being a digital scrapbook designer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

So many, many things! I get to design what \u201cI\u201d want, what I\u2019m 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!!<\/p>\n

Food For Thought<\/p>\n

Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neither, I think it is healthy and sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself.<\/p>\n

Is it possible to lie without saying a word?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Absolutely.<\/p>\n

Which activities make you lose track of time? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I could read for days straight I think!<\/p>\n

Which is worse, failing or never trying?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Never trying, but that is much easier said than done.<\/p>\n

What is the most desirable trait another person can possess? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Open mindedness, being able to understand another\u2019s opinion\/stance\/belief even if it doesn\u2019t match your own.<\/p>\n

_______________<\/p>\n
