Happy New Year\u2019s Eve Sweet Shoppers!! This is one of my most favorite holidays \u2013 I spend it with family and friends playing games, visiting museums and just hanging out always ending the day with a great dinner and just some plain old silliness!!<\/p>\n

This last day of 2010 I bring you Val\u00e9ria {valeriapiemonte<\/a>} as our featured scrapper this week.\u00a0 It made me so happy that she was truly honored and gracious to be featured on our Sweet Shoppe Blog!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here\u2019s a bit more about Val\u00e9ria and make sure you check out her AWESOME gallery – \u00a0http:\/\/www.myscrapbookart.com\/gallery\/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=6298<\/a><\/p>\n

“Hello I\u00b4m Val\u00e9ria. I\u00b4m from a small town called Assis in the country side of Sao Paulo, Brazil. I\u00b4ve been married for 7 years to my dear hubby Adriano and we have 2 boys, Giovanni and Guilherme. We work together in a small business ad agency here in Brazil. My story with digiscrap started last year and I haven\u00b4t stopped since then. I think it is a wonderful addiction and makes me relax. As I am a graphic designer I began scrapping with Photoshop CS4 and never stopped. In my opinion it\u00b4s the best program to scrap. Recently I started paper scrapping as well just to see if I\u00b4m capable of creating something out of the digiworld!! And guess what? I am!! I really loved cutting papers!! That\u00b4s my newest passion!! When I\u00b4m not scrapping the other things I enjoy doing is traveling, meeting new people, watching a good movie, listening to music and the most important: spending good times beside my family.”<\/p>\n

Q. How often do you find time to scrap?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can only scrap when I get back from work and the kiddos are already in bed which leaves me a very short time to do it.<\/p>\n

Q. What are the steps you go about when creating a page?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I always begin with the photo. Whenever I\u00b4m taking pictures I immediately think of which kit would match perfect to that photo. Then I choose the papers and afterwards the elements. The title is the last thing I put on a page.<\/p>\n

Q. What is the most challenging part of a layout for you? <\/strong>For me the most challenging part of a layout is the journaling. I never know what to write and\u00a0I always struggle with it.<\/p>\n

Q. What was the title of your very first layout?<\/strong>
\nThe title of my first layout was: Gui 12 months.<\/p>\n

I asked Val to share a few of her favorite pages with us!<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

“The thing I love about this layout is the fact that depicts my travel to Europe. It was a great time of my life and it was wonderful that I could scrap about it!!”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n“I just love this page because of its colors!! This kit matched perfectly to my photo.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“This layout is my all time favorite. My whole family is there and I really enjoyed scrapping in a different shape. The title work is one of my favorite things in this page.”<\/em><\/p>\n
