Here is our interview with Peggy.
How long have you been scrapping?
I've been paper scrapping for about three years. I started digi scrapping about 3 months ago.
Do you paper scrap, too?
Yes!
Do you do other crafts?
Not anymore. I used to do cross stitching and embroidery, but I have Carpal Tunnel which makes working with a needle and thread very difficult for me now.
How does your family feel about your scrapping?
The LOVE it! Especially my kids. My daughter loves to show off the pages about her.
Tell us about your computer and software.
I started digi scrapping by using Adobe Illustrator, but recently downloaded a trial version of PSE4. I love it and hope that Santa brings it to me for Christmas. My computer is an Emachine T2825 with an AMD Athlon XP 2800 Processor (2.083 GHz)
What/who inspires you when you are doing a layout?
I love a good challenge, so I try to participate in as many challenges as I can.
What is your favorite topic to scrap?
My children!
What colors do you gravitate to?
I tend to use earthy tones and I especially love heritage colors.
What kinds of supplies do you have a lot of in your folders?
Kits, kits, and more kits!
What style/s have you not tried but would like to?
I want to try a more graphic style. I love the look, but can't seem to achieve it to my liking.
What style/s do you stay away from?
Shabby Chic
What layout in your gallery here is your favorite?
The one I did of my mother on her wedding day to my father. I love the B&W photos with the pink.

When doing a LO, do open pics then look for a kit to go with them, or open kit first, and find pics to go with it?
I do both. Depends on what kind of mood I'm in.
Do you make any of your own supplies?
I'm just now learning to make my own elements, but haven't attempted to put them together into a layout yet.
Have you been published yet?
No, but I don't submit either!
What are your future goals in digital scrapping?
I want to keep on learning how to make my own elements and papers and eventually put together some kits of my own.
What is one piece of advise that you would like give to anyone who is just starting out in digital scrapbooking?
It's addicting and can be frustrating when you are first learning the software. But once you get an idea of how your software works, the sky is the limit!!
