Hi I'm Janet or Granjan to my grandchildren, I try and get some creative scrapping done every day and I really don't like it when I can't even some little part done.
We have 8 children and 12 grandchildren so I never run out of pictures to scrap. We divide our time between Florida and Pa trying to get the good weather when we can. I love the challenges on here and try and get as many done as I can, they keep me inspired!



How did you find ACOT??
I don't remember I found it a long time ago and did some orders posted a few things but then came back to stay a couple of months ago.
What technique would you like to learn?I can't think of one right now
How many photos do you usually place on a layout? It varies from one to 20 all depending on the layout size and event.

Are you into digital or paper layouts? Paper
What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?Working all the time on my 365 project and family events, I love heritage with all the new papers and mixing it up.

How did you find ACOT?? I found you guys several years ago, I've been a member here for awhile, but "life" happened, so I'm re-introing myself ;)

What technique would you like to learn? Oh I don't know. I'm rusty on large LO's i've been doing card sizes for so long, it takes me a bit!

Do you have your own scrap room? Yep, my kitchen!

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? Nope

What gives you the creeps? CLOWNS! If you've ever seen a child completely freak out over something, that's me with clowns, it's terrible.

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird? Early bird, I have a baby, so I get up before her and have my coffee in peace before the other monster get off to school

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage? I'm nursing so I haven't had a drink in awhile. I had a glass of wine at my Daughters Wiccaning in February, she got sick that night, no more drinks for me!

How did you find ACOT??web surfing

What technique would you like to learn?using alcohol inks

How many photos do you usually place on a layout?I very rarely have single photo layouts...I take too many pictures. I usually do 2-page layouts that have 8-10 shots, but recently did a layout with 46 photos...48, if you count the photos that pull out from the top of the layout.

Are you into digital or paper layouts? I'm pretty much paper, but I use the computer for photo editing and journaling and sometimes for printing out embellishments.

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)? I recently entered (and won!) a contest with the theme "New Growth". It can be seen on the home page of: apeekintoyesterday.com.

Do you have your own scrap room? Unfortunately, no. I have a closet that's crammed full of supplies that are slowly leaking into baskets on top of bookshelves, etc.

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? Yes.

What gives you the creeps? I don't watch scary movies.

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird? Night owl, definitely.

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage? I'm pretty much an "I NEED MY COFFEE NOW" kind of person.
