About
Album size? 12x12 (but I still don't own an album). Prefer post bound, but I just haven't seen a cover that I am interested in, but when I see it I will definately purchase it.
Color choices? I like all colors, but prefer the brights! Also use a lot of different papers.
Kids? 1 son
What ages? 15
Activities they like - My son just received his Eagle Scout on 3-11-2012. He is also in his High School marching band where he plays the tuba. In his spare time (not that there is a lot) he still enjoys playing his Playstation 3, but he is also on his computer alot chatting with his friends on FB.
Pets? 2
What kind? Basset Hound named Hokie.
What kind of layouts are you going to be working on in the future? I don't plan my layouts a head of time, I just scrap what suits me at that moment. That is why I am so far behind. My son has played baseball, golf, bowled while he was younger. Also tried his had at learning to play the mandolin. He is currently in Marching Band where he plays the tuba. He also first chair tuba in the high school Symphonic band.. His an Eagle Scout and he also completed 5 years of Cub Scouts. My DH and I are both volunteers with the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts and we both also serve on the local Christmas Parade Association. So we are very busy.
I take pictures everywhere we go so I can use just about any theme. I am still serving as a Cubmaster and am currently the District Scouts Training Chair. My DH is the Advancement chair of my Cub Scout Pack is an Assistant Scoutmaster for our Boy Scout Troop, and serves the District as a Unit Commissioner.
Do you have a sizzix? Yes. I have the Shadowbox alphabet, the uppercase Lollipop alphabet, the shamrock die, the Christmas light die, the red square maker die, the watermelon die and the rectangular frame die. I tend to save my funds for alphabets and not dies, but would love more. I also own a Xyron Personal Cutter and a Cricut Expressions Machine.
Do you like cute stuff? I prefer things that can be used on boy/daddy pages. I am not into girly (prissy) pages as my boy is all boy!
Heritage? Don't really care for heritage. Don't really have pictures that I think are heritage worthy.
Do you use diecuts? Whatever suits the page I use. Remember I do own a Sizzix, an XPC and a Cricut!
Lumpy or not lumpy? Depends on the page. Since I love Jolee's there will have to be some lumpy on my pages.
Anything you won't use? Foamies only but I understand there are still plenty of things I have never tried before and I am always willing to try!
Favorite designers? Karen Foster and Jolee's
Anything you are wanting to try?
Stamping and fibers
Eyelets? Have them and use them if they are appropriate for the layout. Own the MM eyelet tools, too.
Brads? Used them and love them on a page - WISH I HAD MORE!
Nailheads? Don't own any and wouldn't know how to use them if I had them.
Pins? Don't own any.
Metal? Have never used metal. Unless you consider eyelets metal.
Stickers? I am a sticker-holic. I don't have a sticker holder, but I do have 2 large notebooks with page protectors in them that I separate my stickers (by theme) into. I just can't stop buying stickers.
Do you stamp? Never have but would like to try. I own a few stamps (snowflake, CMTH Scout, baby feet), but just haven't taken the plundge. I also own the stamp cleaner pad, cleaner and 1 black (permanent) and the VersaMark stamp pads. I have also invested in the SU watercolor pencils and blending pen.
Chalk? I like the effect that chalk leaves but have never tried it and don't own any chalks.
Adhesives? Currently use the Creative Memories refillable tape runner and the Herma Dotto (refillable)Tape and love them both. I also own a Xyron 510 and the Xyron X and wouldn't be without it.
Cutting system? I own the Fiskars paper cutter with the changeable blades. Also LOVE MY COLUZZLE. I have the small and large cutting mats, the swizel knife and refill blades. I also have the following templates: the shadow heart, the nested circle and the nested companion circle, the nested oval and the nested companion oval, the nested heart, the nested hexagon, the nested rectangle, the nested square, the nested star, the regular tag template, the envelope, a nested apple (made by Accucut, not ProvoCraft) and an alphabet that I cannot remember the name of at this time. Also have added the following - nested deckle oval, 90 degree nested square, nested circle deckle companion, nested deckle square, and long oval companion. Now own the CM Wave Cutter and a Carl small cutter.
Embossing? I have done some dry embossing, (own the Fiskars Lighted ShapeBoss and a few brass stencils). Want to try heat embossing, but just haven't invested in the tools. (Afraid if I don't like it I will be stuck with all the supplies).
MY TRUE LOVE - All my "Lettering Delights" Alphabets. I have purchased or won over 200. I use them whenever possible.
