How did you find ACOT??
A friend suggested it to me when I mentioned looking for a board for both paper and digi.

What technique would you like to learn?
I like finding new ways to use older supplies.

How many photos do you usually place on a layout?
It varies, although lately I enjoy using collages made in photoshop to get 5+ photos on one layout.

Are you into digital or paper layouts?
Both!

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?
I am working on photos from my daughter's school year - her teacher was nice enough to send home a CD with photos from throughout the year.

Do you have your own scrap room?
Sadly, no, but my stuff seems to have taken over the home office - does that count as my own room? :)

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

What gives you the creeps?
Snakes and reports of lice at my daughter's school.

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird?
Not sure if I qualify as either, but I find it easier to stay up late than get up early.

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage?
In the summertime it is a frozen pina colada. In the winter a pomegranate martini

  1. I was buying scrapbook supplies online a while back and came across ACOT. I made my first order and told my friend Griselda (grirosa) about the amazing items ACOT had. She became a regular and I didn't until the last NSD crop where I fell in love with all of you and the whole vibe of ACOT. I won't ever leave!
  2. I would love to learn how to use a sewing machine or at the very least hand sew my LOs.
  3. As many as I can! Although I love to embelish, I believe that it is all about the pictures.
  4. I love the mess and the creativity of paper LOs. Lately I've been intrigued with the idea of hybrid. Might become a hybrid scrapper soon.
  5. I am currently working on an LO of my cousin's daughter who turned 13 last Sunday. We went to Chuky'ECheese to celebrate. Working on incorporating some of those tickets and a cut-out of a cake plate that I managed to take home with me into my LO.
  6. No :( . Not yet, but working on it!
  7. Yes! I was able to participate in the NSD Crop last April. It was Awesome! :-D
  8. Bugs give me the creeps. And being underwater without air. :?
  9. I am a mid-day bird! I am most creative after 3 pm! And can turn into a night-owl very quickly!
  10. Bacardi Mojito! Mmmmmm!!! :winkb:

Re: ***New Cherry Questionairre***
How did you find ACOT?? I stumbled across it when searching the web for anything scrapbooking - and I'm SOOOOOO glad I did!

What technique would you like to learn? I don't think I can say just one technique - I am so keen to learn anything and everything!!!

How many photos do you usually place on a layout? For some reason I tend to do a lot of 2 photo layouts - no particular reason, it just turns out that way!

Are you into digital or paper layouts? Both - I have a corner of our spare room absolutely exploding with paper supplies (I turned into a bit of a collector I think) and recently discovered how easy digi is, so have now got a bunch of 'supplies' for that too.

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)? Most recent was a page on how my neice is taking to her new brother. Next one... Not sure yet, but I really want to do a scrapbook style recipe book of my Nana's old recipes.

Do you have your own scrap room? Kind of - it's a corner of our smaller spare room, which I share with the cat (who has claimed the bed as her own) and my mans mountain bike, which he won't hear of keeping outside (it's far to precious to him to weather the conditions outside!!!)

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? No, not for lack of wanting to, just hasn't happened yet

What gives you the creeps? Creepy people?!

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird? Early bird by neccesity, night owl if I don't have to be an early bird!

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage? My favourite beverage any time is Diet Coke - in fact some would say I'm addicted to the stuff!

How did you find ACOT??
I found ACOT when I was searching for BoBunny's new line of papers (Block Party) the on-line scrapbook store that I usually ordered from didn't have it yet. I sent an e-mail to BoBunny and they told me to try your site. I live 35 miles from the nearest scrapbook store so I usually buy on-line. You are much cheaper and your packages arrive much sooner than the scrapbook store I was using.


What technique would you like to learn?

Humm, would have to think about that one.

How many photos do you usually place on a layout?


Depends on the layout, the last two page layout, I did two on one page and 5 on the 2nd page.




Are you into digital or paper layouts?



Only paper

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?


I just completed a two page beach layout.




Do you have your own scrap room?


Yes! I have a beautiful scap room, when my son moved out, I moved into his bedroom! I love it!




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


I go to two weekend crops a year and I belong to a group called the Croppin Chicks, we try to get together once a month to crop at each other's houses. I have also gone to the Scrapbook Day Crops at Scrapbook.com, they are a lot of fun.




What gives you the creeps?


Old guys looking at young teenage girls, very creepy.




Are you a night-owl or an early-bird?


Night owl. I am retired on disability and I love to stay up and watch old movies on TV.




What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage?
Since it is summer I like Vodka & Tonic with a twist of lime, but I am not a big drinker only have a drink once or twice a month and only to be socialable.

Ants! and centipedes :(
