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 all 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 layouts, hour by hour, for 11 hours today. 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!
“Things I Love”, by Corri Garza.
It was a real challenge for me to do a layout about myself. While thinking about a theme, I was inspired by the "Love" invisibles sheet. I chose some pattern paper from the Color Chaos collection to complement my photo and created a list on journaling strips with enamel heart bullet points.
Supplies:
Color Chaos: Gulf Strandz, Ice Strandz, Peep Strandz; Lucky Starz: Candid Cards; Classic Calendars: Just Write Journaling; Invisibles: Love; Amorie Chipboard Alphas: McIntosh; Ciao Chip Elements: Hearts & Stars, Symbols; Enamel DooDads: McIntosh, Cotton Candy, Ice, Milk White; Bella Bows: Ice
And now for some scrapping Q&A's:
1. What are your top 5 supplies/products that you cannot scrap without?
Cameo, Pattern Paper, Enamel Dots, Burlap String, Foam dots.
2. What do you listen to while you scrap? TV, music, or do you do your best working in silence?
I usually listen to the radio or music from my phone while I scrapping.
3. What snacks and/or drinks are beside you when you're scrapping?
I always have a drink with me in my scrap room....either Diet Dr. Pepper or coffee depending on how much caffeine I need at the time.
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 usually get most of my scrapping done while the kids are at school. Many times I'll get a project 90% completed during the day and the put the finishing touches on it later in the evening when the kids are in bed.
5. When the creativity isn't flowing, what do you do to get back into your creative zone?
I usually find my inspiration from the paper collections I have in my stash. When I lose my mojo, I like to just flip through my pattern papers until something sparks my creativity. Browsing galleries and Pinterest is also a big help.
