Hello. Happy Friday again! This week, I bring to you our featured Staffer for January. It is none other than the very talented and creative Cindy Schneider (aka cindys732003<\/a>)! I am so please to know her through my Babe-dom and Sweet Shoppe Designs. Cindy is not only talented, she is a\u00a0very sweet person, too.<\/p>\n

\"CSchneider\"Here are the Basics. Cindy has been scrapping since the\u00a0Spring of\u00a02006 and uses PhotoShop CS2. Her most complete gallery is a DigiShopTalk and can be found here<\/a>. Make sure you check out all 52 page of her amazing gallery! You will not be disappointed – from her cute layouts of her kids to the wonderful journaling and the layering of paper and embellies. It is a delight for the eyes.<\/p>\n

I also asked Cindy some other very pressing questions:
\nQ. What was the title on your very first layout?<\/strong>
\nI think it was “Flower Girl”, and had pictures of my daughter with some petunias she picked in the backyard.\u00a0 It has been long since re-scrapped though!<\/p>\n

Q. Are you a fast scrapper or do you take several hours or days to work on a layout?<\/strong>
\nIt depends, some pages come together quicker than others.\u00a0 On average it probably takes anywhere from 1-2 hours, but it’s hard to tell because sometimes I have more than one page going at once, or I don’t sit down and scrap\u00a0a layout\u00a0from start to finish because there are always distractions!<\/p>\n

Q. You rock at titlework..does it come easily to you or is it something you spend a great deal of time on?
\n<\/strong>I don’t spend a ton of time on titlework, but I love to do it.\u00a0 My pages always seem bare to me if there is no title on them, so I always try to include one.\u00a0 I generally leave the titlework until last and keep in mind where I want the title to go while I am scrapping the page.\u00a0 I love\u00a0to mix and match alphas.<\/p>\n

Q. Describe the process for creating a layout for you? You use so many layers and items from other designers and can pull them into one layout so effortlessly. How do you do it?
\n<\/strong>To create a page, I always open up my photos first for inspiration and I have a kit picked out that I want to use.\u00a0 I open up all of the papers and elements that I love from the particular kit\u00a0and drag them onto one page with the photos, kind of like a messy “preview”.\u00a0 I then open up another new page, bring my photos over, figure out the photo placement I want to use and go from there.\u00a0 Generally when I bring in other elements from other kits, I do that near the end if I see my page needs a certain tied ribbon, button etc, then I will go search my stash and bring it in.\u00a0 Sometimes if the LO is not working at all, I will just start again from scratch.\u00a0 This is probably all\u00a0a very unconventional process, but it works well for me!<\/p>\n

Q. If you could only use one SSD kit from now on what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
