Happy Friday everyone!! I am especially excited today because it’s only 2 more days till Spring!! YAY!! I’m also excited for you to get to know our featured scrapper, Angie Miller aka nun69,<\/a> a bit better!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I am a 40 year old recently retired SAHM! I just retired after 20 years of Naval Service and am going back to school full time at the end of March to get my Photography Degree so I can eventually open my own photography business, which is my dream job!! I have been married to Scott since December 1992 and we have 4 crazy kids! Just check out my gallery or Facebook pictures for proof!! My oldest is graduating in June and I will have 1 starting Kindergarten in August!<\/p>\n

I use Photoshop CS2 and have been digiscrapping since July 2006. I didn’t become seriously probably until sometime in 2007 and I’ve been sucked in ever since!!<\/p>\n

What are the steps you go about when creating a new layout?<\/strong> – I try to decide if I want to scrap with a kit and then find a picture or with a picture and then find a kit to match. Then I look for the kit to match the photo or photo to match the kit. I then decide if I want to use a template or not. That usually depends on my mojo or how many pictures I have. I usually let the kit build itself and last, I always try to add the story behind the photos.<\/p>\n

How do you organize your scrap stash?<\/strong> – I have folders that are labeled by stores that I buy from (there are very few). Then under that store I have each designer that I use and all their kids are in there. In my SSD folder I have an ‘Unused’ folder and once I use something it gets moved over to that designer’s folder. Then I have a CT folder that has each designer’s kit within that folder that I CT for. I also have separate templates and alpha folders for the ones I use the most.<\/p>\n

What’s easier and why? Creating girl or boy pages?<\/strong> – I have to say it depends on the kit or the pictures I am scrapping. I seem to be able to do them equally, even though I scrap the girls more since they don’t shy away from the camera.<\/p>\n

What do you do when you’re not scrapping?<\/strong> – Facebook, check my email constantly and hang out in a couple of digi forums. On Saturday nights I chat in the SSD forum waiting for the shoppe to go live with a few of my ‘peeps’ (Kat, Lex, Leu, Amanda, Tara, Joana and a few others that join us).<\/p>\n

I’ve asked Angie to share three of her favorite layouts with us and a bit about why they’re her favorites.<\/p>\n

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

I love this layout because the photo is worth a thousand words and it is just so Peyton!<\/p>\n

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

I love this one because I normally don’t scrap myself and my husband took this picture of me and the kids. I couldn’t wait to scrap it!!<\/p>\n

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

What can I say? It is sooo Abby and Meg’s kit was just perfect for the pictures!!<\/p>\n
