Soblessed - aka Jane - guest layout designer Gallery Digi Shop Talk Gallery MSA 1. How long have you been scrapping? I started digiscrapping this April after hearing about it on a twin website that I visit. 2. What does scrapping mean to you? (Memories, therapy, creative art?) Scrapping means so many things to me! It started out as a way to unwind in the evenings after tucking my four little monkeys in for the night. I have always felt a need to create, but never found a good way to do it until finding this! Most importantly, I do this for my children. I want these pages to be records of their lives. 3. Which scrapper inspires you the most, and why? I always find inspiration from Dagmar, Shen, Peppermint, Vinnie Pearce, AmyPunky (Emilie), and Emily Merritt. These are the ladies who fill up my favorites! 4. How much time do you usually spend making a layout? Anywhere from an hour to a week! Sometimes I like to let a page sit on my desktop for awhile and add to it slowly. 5. What kind of digital products are must-haves for you? I love white papers with texture and a touch of grunge. I don't have a great camera, so I love Lightroom presets, photo actions, overlays, or anything else to help out my photos! 6. What is your favorite CatScrap item, and why? Everything is wonderful!! If I have to choose, I love Scarletheels' Clear Dot Alphas because they work great in so many different layouts and I adore every single kit that Shen (Creashens) has made! One more and then I'll stop.. . Danielle's Worn Photo overlays. Love 'em! |

ratherBscrappin - aka Kenna - guest layout designer Gallery CatScrap 1. How long have you been scrapping? digi scrapping for 2 years (my digi-versary was in July 08) and before that, I was a paper scrapper for a little over 6 years. 2. What does scrapping mean to you? (Memories, therapy, creative art?) I scrap for purely selfish reasons ... it's something I do that's 100% for me! Definitely a creative outlet, also therapeutic and the added bonus is that my children/grandchildren will have something that only I could give them. 3. Which scrapper inspires you the most, and why? mmm ... hard to pick one scrapper, it's more like a style that inspires me. It's the minimalist scrapper who can with a few papers & elements, strike the right balance and I come away totally wowed! 4. How much time do you usually spend making a layout? Now, that I cananswer without hesitation ... hours, days sometimes! I start with my photo, add paper(s), a few elements ( I can spend hours just on my fonts alone), and then I'm literally adding/editing a thousand times before I finally give myself permission to say, enough --- it's done, walk away!! LOL But I LUV the *entire* process! 5. What kind of digital products are must-haves for you? oooh, good question! papers, photo frames, stitches, photo anchors, and a few good grunge or doodle brushes! 6. What is your favorite CatScrap item, and why? Catrine's frames ... all of them, they are the perfect element to any page, any style, any theme. A *must have* for sure! |

tracyblessedwith2 - aka Tracy - guest layout designer Gallery My Scrapbook Art Gallery Digi Shop Talk 1. How long have you been scrapping? Not long. I wish I would've discovered it sooner! I started scrapping in January of 2008. 2. What does scrapping mean to you? (Memories, therapy, creative art?) Scrapping for me is a way to preserve memories for my children. I'm a mother of three year old twins and it's important to me to document their lives. Scrapping is also a creative outlet that I never had before. I'm not much of a crafty person so the idea of paper scrapping never appealed to me. However, digital scrapping is right up my alley and can't imagine life without the undo button! 3. Which scrapper inspires you the most, and why? Well, I'd have to say that it is a tie between two. Dagmar and Vinnie Pearce are, hands down, my favorites. Their styles are so unique and they are both such an inspiration to me. 4. How much time do you usually spend making a layout? Sometimes I can finish a layout in a half an hour. But, that's very rare. Usually it takes me several hours to several days to finish one page. I'm too much of a perfectionist for my own good! 5. What kind of digital products are must-haves for you? I love white (or at least neutral), grungy background papers for most of my layouts so I'm always on the look out for new ones. I also love distressing tools and use them on almost every layout I do. 6. What is your favorite CatScrap item, and why? Catrine's Explore Solids(Nature). As I mentioned in #5, I love neutral, grungy papers with a bit of texture. Her papers are amazing! |
