Tell us about your journey with digital scrapbooking\u2026 How did you find out about it? Did you start with paper first? How did you get started designing? Where was your first shop? How and when did you end up at Sweet Shoppe Designs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I started with paper scrapping & fell in love with a digital page over at 2 peas. So I looked into Digital and found a few freebies and forums. I started a few blog freebies & I was asked to sell my designs at a store (how awful that I can’t remember the name of the store I sold at). Then after a while I moved to Scrapbookgraphics and sold there for quite a few years. But I always loved the designers at Sweet Shoppe and how active the forums were so I reached out to Robin when I had retired in 2013, and I have been at SSD every since! My retirement after my 3rd baby in 2013 was very short lived.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you draw your own doodles or sketches for designs, what do you use for that? Tablet, pen, paper, scanner? Tell us more about your process and tools.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I use the pen tool in photoshop & I have tried iPad pro, tablets, AI & everything else\u2026 but I work faster & more accurately with the pen tool. 99% of my work is done is Photoshop & I rarely use AI, only to open vectors & then edit in Photoshop.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Show us a preview for one of your first kits, compared to a recent kit you\u2019re proud of. We want to see how far you\u2019ve come!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you had an hour to yourself, but were not allowed to use it to scrapbook or design, what would you spend the hour doing?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019d either take a nap, or just waste my hour scrolling mindlessly on my phone with Law & Order SUV on in the background.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Share your favorite recipe with photos!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

This is my current favourite meal. It is a combination of 2 recipes that I have modified and make once a week as Chinese take away has become way too expensive here.<\/p>\n

Mongolian Beef:<\/p>\n

500g rump steak or any beef cut into thin strips. Marinate for 1 hour or more in 1 tb Chinese cooking wine, 1 Tb light soy sauce, 1 Ts cornflour & 1 Ts bi carb soda.<\/p>\n

Sauce:<\/p>\n
