National Scrapbook Day: All About Becki & Jennifer

Happy National Scrapbook Day everyone! We have so much to share with you today, so we hope you'll keep popping in throughout your day. I challenged 24 of our designers to create an "All About Me" layout, giving us a peek into a little part of their lives. Each of them also answered five quick scrapbooking related questions. We will be sharing these 24 layouts over the next 12 hours. So sit back, grab a snack, and get to know our designers just a little bit more, and hopefully their projects will inspire you the next time you go to create!

“My Typical Day”, by Becki Adams.

I used several different Bella collections, old and new to create this layout. I also went a little die cut crazy too! This combination resulted in a bright, fun, and happy layout that documents what my typical day looks like.

Supplies:
Love and Marriage: May Eighteenth; Sand & Surf: Flying High, Paradise, Alpha+Bits Stickers; Birthday Girl: Chipboard Icons; Freestyle Sophisticates: Freestyle Gulf, Freestyle Peep; High Five Alpha Stickers: Yellow, Pink-Red; Designer Tape: 12mm Combo, Piggy Pink Stripe; Button Market: Hot Pink Flowers

And now for some scrapping Q&A's:

1. What are your top 5 supplies/products that you cannot scrap without?
Patterned Paper (lots and lots of it), Letter Stickers, Decorative Tape, Brown stamping ink, and either enamel dots or wood veneer.

2. What do you listen to while you scrap? TV, music, or do you do your best working in silence?
Work in silence? I've never heard of such a thing ;) I do my best scrapping while the kids nap and I'm watching an old TV show on netflix

3. What snacks and/or drinks are beside you when you're scrapping?
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Occasionally I have a strawberry smoothie at my desk but mostly it's always chocolate.

4. When do your do your best scrapping? Are you a morning scrapper, a late night scrapper, or do you find time during the day?
I scrap during the afternoon and sometimes in the evening. It depends on the kids schedule.

5. Be honest. Where do your layouts go once you're done with them? In albums, in piles, or shoved in random places?
For a while they get piled together. When the pile gets too big I force myself to separate them and put them into albums but honestly, I only do that every few months.

"This Is Me", by Jennifer Edwardson.

I was excited to create this layout all about me. It's been a while since I sat down and wrote out how I see myself. I realized just how important it is going to be to my family because as soon as my kids came to see what I was working on they started reading, and they loved it. I've included the full journaling on my blog. The pieces I chose to create the layout around my words and photos really represent me. The blue is my favorite color, black & white is what I wear the most. As you'll read in my journaling, I love pink on others, just not on me so a splash of it here was perfect. I think life is good so that flag fit perfectly. All in all I love where I am in my life right now so the hearts represent those feelings.

Supplies:  
Baby Girl: Daddy's Girl; Baby Boy: Just Write Journaling Stickers; Sand & Surf: Alpha+Bits Stickers; Love and Marriage: Alpha+Bits Stickers, Wedding Day Miniatures; Corchet Hearts: White; Feathers: Ice; Baby Blooms A Bella: Azzini; Flags: Summer; Ciao Chip Versatile Elements: Clouds, Borders; High Five Alphabets: Blue; Buttons: Blues, Wood Mix; Designer Tape: Blue Polka Dot

And now for some scrapping Q&A's:

1. What are your top 5 supplies/products that you cannot scrap without?  
3D foam, a sanding block, precision scissors, cardstock and patterned paper

2. What do you listen to while you scrap? TV, music, or do you do your best working in silence? 99% of the time I MUST have cheezy reality TV on while I work. But when I have to do a lot of typing/writing I press mute for a minute.

3. What snacks and/or drinks are beside you when you're scrapping?
Chewy gummy sour candies, licorice and chocolate – terrible I know !!

4. When do your do your best scrapping? Are you a morning scrapper, a late night scrapper, or do you find time during the day?  
I fit it in whenever I am not running children here and there but lately have been doing most of my creating during the day and computer work (photos, blogging, etc) at night.

5. Be honest. Where do your layouts go once you're done with them?
In albums, in piles, or shoved in random places? YES, all of the above ;)
