For the spotlight this Sunday, we\u2019re shining it on a community member! You guys listed quite a few different community members that you said inspire you in the 20 questions thread during iNSD. Eveline (eve11ne<\/a>) was someone that kept getting chosen so I thought it’d be great to get to know her better. I’ve seen her pages and am on a few different creative teams with her. She’s fantastic! And her layouts? Beautiful! I\u2019ve asked her some questions & I loved reading her responses. I hope you love them too! Everyone, meet Eve…<\/p>\n

Introduce yourself!<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
Hi, I am Eveline, usually called Eve. I currently live in Adelaide, Australia with my hubby of almost 14 years and two kiddos, Rafael (13) and Rachel (10).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Originally we are from Indonesia but we’ve been living in 4 different countries for the past decade, from Indonesia, Singapore, USA (New York & Florida) and now Australia.<\/div>\n
It’s been quite an adventure to live in different places and we are ready to settle down but we’re not sure if we want to live in Australia for good.<\/div>\n
We are quite set here at the moment due to hubby’s job but maybe we’ll go back to the States later. I am a stay home at the moment but I’ve been working part time for the past 2 years during school hours and really loving it.<\/div>\n
The part time job gave me time to pick up the kids from school and be with them after school doing other activities but also gave me a chance to be out there and just be me. I’m in job hunting at the moment so wish me luck!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
How long have you been scrapping? How did you get into digital scrapbooking?<\/strong><\/div>\n
I’ve been paper scraping since I was pregnant with my daughter but soon after she was born, I found out that it’s hard to keep up. I couldn’t finish a page during her naptime and the clean up is just too much to handle so I started looking at digital scrapbooking.It took me few years to really get the hang on it and find my style but for the past 5 years I think I found what my style is and what works for me. I started active in forums here in SSD in 2014 (the summer games) and I regretted that I didn’t do it sooner because they really helped me improve my skills in scrapping.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Describe your page workflow.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
I’m a huge template user. I use template in 99% in my page. I usually started with the kit that I want to use (either for CT or personal page) then pick my photos then I’ll go through my template stash.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I use CS5 to scrap and I always start with the template, modify it if it’s needed then place the pictures. From there I go to papers, starting at the background papers then all the layered papers. When all papers placed, I play with the elements.<\/div>\n
Scatters and paints are the last thing I put on the page before shadowing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
What’s a must-have for your layouts?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Flowers but I’d love some foliage\/leaf to go with them, it feels wrong to me to see the flowers without the leaves… lol<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Favorite go-to font?<\/strong><\/div>\n
I am Darcy’s fans, I have many of her fonts but DJB Please Explain looks a lot like my handwriting so I use it the most.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Do you have any specific types of kits\/products you’re drawn too? Or maybe certain colors?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Usually I’m drawn to the colors, I love bold colors combo.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Favorite tip to share?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Join the forum and the challenges and read lots of tutorials. They will help you to find your style and improve your skills. When I first started in digiscrap, I was too shy to join any challenges thinking ‘there’s no way I can make a page like that example page’. I dived into the summer games challenges here in SSD in 2012, thinking that prizes were too good to pass on. Well, of course I didn’t win anything but everything change since then. I learned a lot and became more confidence to do more challenges.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Favorite BINGO Challenge you’ve done so far?<\/strong><\/div>\n
I think the Feb Bingo #15 : ROYGBIV<\/a>. I immediately thought of a rainbow when I see that challenge so I know that my page will have rainbow in it (either photo or element). Then I saw the amazing Mystie’s take on this challenge, I know that I’m going to scraplift it in the rainbow shape. It took me almost 3 days to finish that page but I loooove the result so much!<\/span><\/div>\n

\n
Anything else you’d like to share?<\/strong><\/div>\n
It’s okay not to follow the trends. For example, I love seeing all the art journal pages. I tried few times but it’s not my style so I accepted it. I still made one or two pages when I feel like to but I’m okay not doing it.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I asked her to pick her 4 favorite layouts. Check them out!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I love this pic of my daughter and would love to highlight it so the big photo placement on this template is perfect for that!<\/div>\n
\"eve-20150405-sunshine-web\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My husband is rarely in the photos because he hate having his picture taken so I was lucky that day to get good pictures of him (smiling!) with the kids.<\/div>\n
\"eve-20141011-daddy-web\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I usually struggle with photoless page but when I started making this page, it flowed flawlessly that I’m a bit surprised myself.<\/div>\n
\"eve-20150316-in-vs-ex-web\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The last one is AAM page, another thing that I struggle with and is not in my comfort zone. I really need to make more of this to challenge myself.<\/div>\n

I hope you enjoyed getting to know Eve a little bit more! She’s such a joy in our community and I love seeing her around. Hope you’ve been inspired by her like I have! Have a great week scrappers \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
