About
I am married, and have two sons--Trevor (11) and Joshua (5). I have been scrapbooking for about 3 years. I am happy with my current pages, but want to try lots more. I love sports, boating, outdoor, boy (brother, buds, dirt, etc.) and dog themes (obviously not a lot of pink!) :)
Album size? 12x12
Color choices? blues, red, naturals mostly (I like everything!)
Kids? two--Trevor (10) and Joshua (4)
Pets? Dog (Tanner)--8 year old Miniature Schnauzer
What kind of layouts are you going to be working on in the future? everything!! I still haven't even done baby pictures, my wedding, or Christmas!
Do you have a sizzix? yes
Which dies? large heart, balloon combo, tag combo, large scalloped tag, medium swirl set, handprint, crayon, football/helmet, pumpkin, and dog. I also have access to the primitive hearts and elephant, so I don't need those.
Do you like cute stuff? no, not really
Heritage? I love heritage, but don't have any heritage pics : (
Do you use diecuts? not much anymore, it depends on what they are.
Lumpy or not lumpy? lumpy
Anything you won't use? mmm....not sure I want to try quilling.
Favorite designers? pretty much everybody except Mrs. Grossman's --I love Basic Grey, MM, Junkitz, Karen Foster, and Pebbles Inc, especially.
Anything you are wanting to try? I think I'd like to try embossing. I bought a stamp that I saw used in an embossed example, and want to do it!! (or send the stamp to somebody that will do it for me! lol.)
Eyelets? not much anymore
Brads? love them!!
Nailheads? got some from my Secret Santa, and can't wait to try them!
Pins? would love to try them
Metal? YES!
Stickers? yes, but not too cutesy. mostly cardstock stickers.
Do you stamp? I've been dipping my toes in the stamping waters, and like it. I can always use more foam stamps (anything) and acrylic paints.
Chalk? love it!
Ribbon (unprinted/printed)? Yes!
Patches? yes
Metal clips? yes
Wooden embellishments? not really
Library pockets/cards? I would love to try them!!
Buckles (metal/plastic)? yes
Zippers? Would LOVE to try them!! even the cheaper ones from the sewing department would be awesome.
Twist ties? I have some, and love them
Twill (unprinted/printed)????? Yes!!
Fabric? I have some and want to try it.
Bottlecaps (plain/printed)? Yes! I have lots of plain bottlecaps, but would like more stickers/rub-ons for them.
Rick Rack? yes, I would like to try it!
Canvas embellishments? Yes!
Color washes? I want to try these.
Walnut ink? I want to try this too! or any of the distressing inks.
Liquid chalk ink pads? I've tried them, and think I like them. I haven't wanted to go gung-ho in buying them, but would like a couple more colors. I only have ivory.
Acrylic paints? love them, and can always use more. I only have basic colors.
Foam stamps? I have a few of these, but want to get the Philadelphia lower case next. I also like the small, non-MM ones (Charlene sent me a couple leaf stamps and I like those types too! I would love more!)
What is your favorite type of item to make? journal boxes
What is your least favorite type of item to make? tags
Do you use journal boxes on a regular basis? sometimes
Do you use borders on a regular basis? sometimes
Do you use titles on a regular basis? (By titles I mean those that you make on a separate piece of paper and then adhere to the background. So, it doesn't include just adhering letters to the background.) not usually
Do you use embellished tags on a regular basis? (and by that I mean those that you embellish yourself.) yes
Do you use paper piecings on a regular basis? no
Do you use shakers on a regular basis? no
Do you use deco squares on a regular basis? I want to use them a little more.
Do you use serendipity squares on a regular basis? no
What is your greatest scrapbooking weakness? hmmmm....right now, it's patterned paper.
What is your favorite paper theme (i.e., floral, stripes, plaid, fun themes, solids)? solid bazzill, plaid, and stripes. I also like companies like Basic Grey.
Other than time and money (which we all need more of), what is your greatest scrapbooking challenge? I am a perfectionist, so it takes me a long time to even start putting an idea on paper (I want to make sure it is planned right in my mind first!). It takes me hours, if not longer, to do each page.
