1. What is your favorite line right now?

hahaha- like I can pick- ok- today I bought Bohemia Christmas and Basic grey buckles- so we’ll use that. It’s my favorite line of the moment.

2. What technique / embellie do you find that you tend to gravitate towards on a regular basis?

patterned paper and I get stuck on buttons a lot lately.

3. Why do you sb? What got you started?

I started scrapbooking 14 years ago when my mom had a friend who was a CM consultant. My mother was an artist, and so I grew up with art supplies at my beck and call. I got my 1st camera when I was 7 and I’ve been hooked ever since, - the photography and art went together so well that when scrapbooking was suggested it just fit. I scrapbook for the artistic release, for the creative expression, for the memories, for the catharsis, to find truth, to reinvent myself, to stop and see my loved ones through new eyes. I scrapbook so I can keep breathing and have it mean something. I make art because I have to. I am compelled. I would shrivel up and die without it. (and I’m not being dramatic when I say that, I really would).

4. What are your feelings on the growing trend of digi scrapping? (this one could get heated, so play nice )

I think it can be done beautifully. I’ve seen many that I’m very impressed with! I prefer hands on myself, but I love looking at a masterfully done digi layout.
