Tell us about the day you woke up and said "I want to be a digital scrapbook designer!"
My interest in Photoshop began with forum signatures and blinkies. From there, I was excited to learn how to make my own kits. I used a lot of crutches at first, but as I have become more comfortable with my software, I have a ton of fun creating unique items!
Inspiration is everywhere, but what are the things that catch your eye?
Color and music, mainly. When I am at a loss for a new theme to work with, I usually grab some inspiration from my two boys.
Out of all the products that you have created, which one is your favorite?
My current favorite is A Little Girly. I love the unique color mix and funky feel.

Describe your style.
Fun, funky...bold! I love color, and experimenting with different color combinations.
What is one thing about digital scrapbooking that you couldn't live without? i.e. Undo, templates, color changing, fonts
Drag and drop, baby!
What colors do you find yourself drawn to with designs, i.e. bright, funky, soft, earthy etc...
Definitely bright and funky! I push myself sometimes to create with less bold colors, but find myself usually scrapping with colorful items.
Tell us (or show us) what your work area looks like.
Okay, so I'm a slob- so what?! I can't seem to find things when everything is too organized. Drives DF nuts!

What does your family think about you being a digital scrapbook designer?
I think my fiance most understands what I do since he sees me working a lot. The rest of my family just knows that I work in 'graphic arts' and think it's great that I can do something that I enjoy at home, while making a little money at the same time.
What is one thing about yourself that others might not know.
Hmm. I have a lot of strange quirks. Most of them, my fiance knows about and rips on me for. ;) I have issues with closing doors and cabinets all the way. Also, I LOATHE the sound of others brushing their teeth. Even in commercials. :P
What other hobbies do you have?
I like to listen to music and sing, and also take pictures of my kids.
Tell us about you, what you love, what you hate, your family, your friends.
Since having children, my life has become less about going out and having a good time. It's become more about staying in, keeping the kids fed, thinking of fun things to do together, grocery shopping and the like. My 'me' time consists of Tweeting with friends, surfing the web and Facebook and digital scrapbooking. I feel really lucky to have all of the online friends that I do, they keep me (somewhat) sane! ;) Give me an iced latte, a good kids movie and my iPhone- I'm happy! ;)
