About
I'm a married 40 year old mother of a 10 year old boy. I've been scrapbooking about 7 years now. I am extremely addicted and much to my DH's dismay, can never seem to have enough scrapbooking stuff!! My other loves are my son, my husband, being with friends and family, reading, candles (Yankee Candle of course), and camping.
Album size? 12 x 12.
Color choices? Any and all!!
Kids? One son.
What ages? 10.
Pets? One female dog and one female cat.
What kind? Dog is a Papillon and Cat is a Calico.
What kind of layouts are you going to be working on in the future? All kinds, holidays, birthdays, trips, camping, school events, everyday pictures, etc.
Do you have a sizzix? Ye.
Do you like cute stuff? Not really.
Heritage? No, I haven't done any heritage albums or pages yet and I probably won't. It's not my style and I don't really have any old pictures.
Do you use diecuts? Sometimes.
Lumpy or not lumpy? Both.
Anything you won't use? Other than heritage stuff, not that I can think of, I'm always open to new and fun ideas.

Anything you are wanting to try? Not that I can think of.
Eyelets? Yes.
Brads? Yes.
Nailheads? No.
Pins? No.
Metal? Yes.
Stickers? Of course!!
Do you stamp? A little, don't have too many, just an alphabet and some generic shape stamps. I'm not really into stamping though.
Chalk? Yes.
Ribbon (unprinted/printed)? Both.
Patches? No.
Metal clips? I have a couple but haven't tried them yet. I like them though and probably will use them.
Wooden embellishments? Not very much.
Library pockets/cards? Haven't tried yet but I might if something like that was needed on my page.
Buckles (metal/plastic)? Yes.
Twist ties? Again, I haven't tried yet but would be willing.
Decorative brads? Yes.

What is your favorite type of item to make? Tags
What is your least favorite type of item to make? Although I haven't tried them yet, shakers. I'd like to try them because I like them so much but people say they are hard to make.
Do you use journal boxes on a regular basis? I didn't until I got some back in swaps I joined and now I like them and use them more.
Do you use borders on a regular basis? Yes.
Do you use titles on a regular basis? Yes.
Do you use embellished tags on a regular basis? This is another item I didn't use until I started getting them back in swaps I joined. I love them and I even bought the tag set for my sizzix machine so I can make them myself.
Do you use paper piecings on a regular basis? No, only the ones I've gotten back in swaps. I wouldn't make them myself but I do like the ones I've received.
Do you use shakers on a regular basis? I think shakers are so cool and I love participating in swaps that have them as an item. I've never made them myself however, they look a little difficult to me. I'd like to try to learn to make them because I would like to use them more often.
Do you use deco squares on a regular basis? Yes.
Do you use serendipity squares on a regular basis? No.
What is your greatest scrapbooking weakness? I can't stop buying scrapbooking stuff. I am sometimes overwhelmed by my choices when I sit down to scrap. I'm too addicted to all the cool stuff they have for scrapbooking but I love it so much!!
What is your favorite paper theme (i.e., floral, stripes, plaid, fun themes, solids)? Anything but floral. Since I have a boy and I'm usually scrapping him I don't have much of an opportunity to use floral paper, although I do find it pretty.
Other than time and money (which we all need more of), what is your greatest scrapbooking challenge? Trying to remember what scrappy stuff I bought to go with my pictures once I finally sit down to scrap them!
