When did you start scrapbooking? Who/how did you get interested in it?
I was doing art journals in 2002 when Elsie first asked me to try scrapbooking. I wasn’t interested but she was persistent and I gave in. She gave me a big box of old product and I made my parents an album for their 25th anniversary! I slowly started to recognize my style and which products I worked best with and really became a regular scrapper at the end of 2007.

Do you try to record every moment or just special ones?
I usually just start with pictures that I love and work around them. Its not necessarily even a special moment but it documents the images that I want to remember. I have worked on albums that focused on important events, such as the six months of my son’s life, and the engagement of good friends, but I tend to only work on what is a part of my life at that moment.

What is your favorite part about the creative process? I love being absorbed in the making process. The end product is always satisfying and its always great to know others enjoy your work, too.

What color combo do you love to use lately? I’ve been using the green, blue, brown combo or the green, pink combo on almost everything.

Where does most of your inspiration come from? I get a lot of inspiration from images on flickr. Most of the time I’m getting inspiration in the area of photography or fashion and it somehow triggers something in the crafty part of my brain and I get really motivated to produce something.

What is your most favorite thing in or about scrapbooking right now at this moment? I really enjoy the friends I’ve made online through scrapbooking blogs and networks. I think having a place to share your creative process and have the encouragement of others is really valuable in a person’s life. As far as trends go, I love that more people are making mini albums.
Which Elle’s Studio product was your favorite to work with? The scalloped circle tags and the ‘seen and noted’ tags were great to mix together.
Any Elle’s Studio product a must have?
The woodgrain tags are my all time favorite!!!
