How did you find ACOT?? i was doing a search for digital challenges, and found you guys a few weeks back :)

What technique would you like to learn? i'm always on the look out for new ideas, techniques, something quirky and fun.

How many photos do you usually place on a layout? depends on the mood i am in and my time frame i have. lately ive been favouring less is more.. not sure if thats because of time restrictions hmmm.

Are you into digital or paper layouts? im a digital scrapbooker although i have a studio with a ton of paper, punches, diemachines stamps etc etc.. always saved because they are just to pretty to use..

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)? i did a new born page for a friend of mine, her grandson was just born last month and i wanted to surprise her.

Do you have your own scrap room? as mentioned above i have a studio in the garden, there is just not enough space in the house. uk homes are tiny.

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? no never, and im eager to go and do one :)


What gives you the creeps? erm... crawly things.. detest them with a passion, and strangely enough, horror movies lol.. which figures since thats what they are meant to do. i can not, will not, watch them under any circumstances

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird? i go through phases of being up late and then just crashing, but since joining this forum and you guys are at most 7 hours behind me.. possibly more, im guessing i might be up later and later.

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage? hmmm, kinda a vodka and orange kinda gal. although nothing beats a good nutella hot chooclate

I am working on a book for my mom and one about all my birds
I have a corner of our finished basement to work in...it's nice in that the other half is family room so i'm still with everyone while i work
