1) Did you paper scrap first or go straight to digital? Straight to digital

 

How long have you been scrapping? About 3 to 4 years

2) What is your strongest scrapping skill on your layouts? My strongest is the time it takes to make a layout

 

Your weakest? My weakest how long it takes to learn a new skill

 

3) What advice would you give someone just starting out in digi-scrapping?

It gets easier the more you do so just keep plugging along

4) Describe how you scrap.  What program do you use? I use PSE and just bought 12 so am just starting to use it 

 Where do you start first? I start with a blank page or sometimes a template to go along with the photos I have chosen to use.  I then generally just choose a kit or two if I need something special or sometimes look for something special online. 

How long does it take you to complete a layout? It can take me anywhere from a half hour to two or three hours depending on the layout.

 

5) What is your perfect scrapping environment?

Home alone on my computer with no one to bother me

 

6) What is your favorite thing to do BESIDES scrapping? Spending time with my family

 

7)

What is one thing you would love to do and haven't - just so you can scrap it?

Go somewhere by myself and lock myself in and just spend the whole day scrapping

 

8) Is there anyone in the scrapping community who inspires you? There are lots of scrappers who inspire me but I don't want to start naming them

9) If you could have The Scrappy Kat create a kit for you, what colors, theme, etc would it be and why? It would be browns and blues about boys

The Scrappy Kat's CT Feature: CTM Nancy

It's a new month which means new things from The Scrappy Kat. How awesome is that!?!? The first new thing you will see this month is The Scrappy Kat's CT Feature. Kat would love to introduce you to her team!! These wonderful ladies create beautiful layouts with her products and promote her and her designs all over Digiland.  Each member has so kindly answered some questions and provided some of their great layouts to help you get to know them better. The first CT being featured is Nancy.

(Feel free to go by Nancy's gallery and leave her some love)

 

1) Did you paper scrap first or go straight to digital? Straight to digital

 

How long have you been scrapping? Been scrapping on and off for about 7 years now making layouts and siggies 

2) What is your strongest scrapping skill on your layouts? I think I'm pretty good at matching photos to the kit I'm using

 

Your weakest? Weakest would be journaling

3) What advice would you give someone just starting out in digi-scrapping? Have a lot of patience...

4) Describe how you scrap? I love to scrap when there is no one around and I have music playing

 

What program do you use? I use Paint Shop Pro 5

 

 

 Where do you start first? I pick the kit first then find a photo that goes with it

 

Do you always have something in mind when you start, or do you let your creativity guide you? It depends if I have a photo then I usually have something in mind but if I'm just in the mood and sit down I just let my creativity guide me

 

How long does it take you to complete a layout? If I have peace I usually can get a layout done in about 30 to 40 mins 

5) What is your perfect scrapping environment? Alone with music playing

6) What is your favorite thing to do BESIDES scrapping? Going on drives with just me and my camera and taking random pics

7) What is one thing you would love to do and haven't - just so you can scrap it? Go on a cruise ship

8) Is there anyone in the scrapping community who inspires you? I don't just have one in mind just a lot of people. Looking at others layouts in galleries usually does the trick for me

9) If you could have The Scrappy Kat create a kit for you, what colors, theme, etc would it be and why? I do a lot of bug hunting with my son and I have seen a lot of nature kits but none of them have ticks in them. I would like to see a kit with ticks. When mushroom hunting we are always getting them off our dogs. Theme colors would just be nature colors green, brown, blue, maybe a little red, etc...
