1) How long does it take you to design a kit, from start to finish?
It usually takes me 2 or 3 days from start to finish. I normally work at night for about 3 hours and the next day is for finishing up previews, quality checking, marketing and uploading to the stores.

2) Which of your own products in your ACOT shoppe is your favorite?
Right now I have two favorite kits; Whispering Autumn and Morning Pleasures

Least favorite?
LOL, those have been retired

3) What is your favorite thing about the holidays?
Spending time with the family. Christmas is my favorite holiday, I love the decorations, going shopping, and listening to Christmas music. The best parts are baking Santa's cookies with my two kids on Christmas Eve and watching their happy faces while opening gifts on Christmas Day.

4) Do you like cherries? What is your favorite cherry treat?
hmmm, I'm not a big fan of cherries, but do LOVE cherry chocolate ice cream.

5) What is the last thing you took a picture of on your camera?
My two boys being silly...

6) What is your favorite type of element to design?
I like to design all types of elements, but right now I love working with doodles

7) Can you give us a hint at an up and coming product that you are designing right now?
hmm, right now I'm working on a new Christmas kit that will be released during the first week of December. This kit is going to be fun and whimsical with lots of doodles {tags, frames, trees, borders and even an owl}.

Isabel's latest releases happen to be her two new favorites. Morning Pleasures is full of whimsical designs in a soft color palette. Don't miss the darling coffee cup and laptop computer embellishments, and the word search styled patterned paper. Whispering Autumn features classic autumn hues with modern patterns and epoxy embellishments. In this collection you'll also find a coordinating two piece alpha set and pack of worn out papers.
