Sherri Tierney is our featured designer for this month and to celebrate, she is offering a "Ring in the New Year sale" with kits priced at a mere $1, CU products at $1.50! We hope you enjoy the fun Q&A below, and the Creative Team reveal showcasing some of her latest and greatest products. Don't forget to participate in the monthly Featured Digital Designer Challenge. All you need to do is grab your favorite product by Sherri from the digital shoppe, create your layout or hybrid project and upload to the gallery.
1) How long does it take you to design a kit, from start to finish?
If I am starting with a color swatch in mind and a general theme or 'feel' of a kit, it takes me roughly 5 hours to finish. However, I can't push myself to be creative when I'm not feeling it so I have to wait for that rush of creativity. That is why my products often come in waves. Either I am bursting with creativity or I am (sometimes not so) patiently waiting for it.
2) Which of your own products in your ACOT shoppe is your favorite?
My favorites change all the time. I recently redesigned two of my old favorites though and I am really enjoying those. They are my Caitrin 2.0 and Declan 2.0 kits which were created for my kids.
3) Do you have any resolutions for the new year?
I am going to simplify my life this year! That will mean everything from cutting clutter to cutting back on obligations. I'm looking forward to a simpler existence!
4) Do you like cherries? What is your favorite cherry treat?
I love cherries. 
My favorite cherry treat would have to be cherry cheese pie. I just had a piece last night!
5) Have you seen any good movies recently, either in the theater or rental?
The last movie I saw in the theater was Tangled. My kids and I really enjoyed that one. I love a good Disney movie!
6) What is your favorite color to design with right now?
My favorite colors change with the season. I am feeling quite over winter and the gray days so I am drawn to sunny spring colors right now.
7) Can you give us a hint at an up and coming product that you are designing right now?
I am working on a kit to use for my daughter's next birthday party. She wants to have a garden party with a citrus them with bright and fruity colors. I am so excited about this one as I am going to use it to make a pennant for her party decoration as well as all the other fun party favors.
Two of Sherri's newest kits are redesigns of older kits that are inspired by her children. Catrin 2.0 is everything girly should be, chock full of ribbons, butterflies and bright colors. Declan 2.0 is rough and tumble in earthy colors and wouldn't be complete without the dirt, too. Another popular new release is Party Like A Rockstar, in vibrant colors and plenty of embellishments with attitude!
