How did you find ACOT?? 
That's a good question.  hee hee.  I think it was through a web search for "disney scrapbook ideas" or something like that.

What technique would you like to learn?
I've never done any digital scrapping and I think I would like to branch out to that eventually. 

How many photos do you usually place on a layout?
Three or four. Unless it's a "collage" in which case, as many as I can fit on the paper!! :)

Are you into digital or paper layouts?
I think I'll always love the paper layouts the most.  There's something so "real" about putting all the pictures and accents together on a page and getting it just right :)

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?
My Theatre book is a constant work-in-progress.  I also need to work on finishing my 2008 book and my Disney vacation from last year.  Yes, I'm very far behind.  lol.

Do you have your own scrap room?
Yes!  One of the bonuses of being a singleton ;)

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? 
Absolutely!  My CM consultant does many a year.  Unfortunately, they've conflicted with something else on my calendar recently but hopefully that will change soon!

What gives you the creeps?
Spiders.  And running out of adhesive.  lol.

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird?
110% NIGHT OWL!!!!!

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage?
My favorite drink is a Shirley Temple.  (I'm not a drinker)

That was fun!!

 How did you find ACOT?? 
From a scrapbook google search I think.

What technique would you like to learn?
I'm not sure, as I'm fairly new to scrapbooking and only done a few simple, basic pages.

How many photos do you usually place on a layout?
Most of the pages I have done have 2-4 photos.

Are you into digital or paper layouts?
Paper but would like to try digital but my computer skills are very limited.

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?
I started albums for my two sons about 8 years ago and only finished about 12 pages. My sons are now 16 and 18.

Do you have your own scrap room?
I'm presently setting up a scrap area, part of a spare bedroom.

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? 
No, I didn't know there was such a thing as an online crop. How do they work.

What gives you the creeps?
Scary movies and spiders.

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird?
Both, I'm definately more productive in the morning, fizzle out mid day, then after a couple cups of coffee and I'm up until midnight.

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage?
A nice glass of wine.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and learning a lot. I see I have much to learn.

 How did you find ACOT?? 
A lady at the lss said she uses ACOT.  I had to logon and see what you had.  And here I am!

What technique would you like to learn?
I would love to use distress inks.

How many photos do you usually place on a layout?
I very seldom do one page on a layout - unless it conveys the complete meaning.  I generally do two page layouts with 3-6 photos.   I use scrapbookphotos.com so that I can order all size photographs -- well, until I got my new photo printer!  I am learning more everyday!

Are you into digital or paper layouts?
I still like the feel of paper! 

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

Do you have your own scrap room?
Yes --- and it is a mess right now.

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? 
Yes - I have been to crops at the lss and have also attended a retreat weekend. 

What gives you the creeps?
SNAKES

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird?
Mostly an early bird until I hit a retreat -- and I have been known to be up way into the morning hours!

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage?
Margarita

What gives you the creeps?  Spiders, snakes, anything that is creepy crawly

Stamping

It depends; if it's a vacation/trip layout, probably more than another kind. (5-6 vs. 1-3).

Nothing specific; have been working on pages with different subjects. I've done family pages, vacation pages, dog pages, and event pages.

Yes! I've been to ScrapFest, a weekend event in Louisiana, and a crop at my LSS. I'm participating in an all-day crop there on May 2 for National Scrapbooking Day.

flying insects, spiders.

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird? - I'm a night owl!

My name is Suzanne, I've been scrapbooking for about a year. I'm an Army wife. Scrapbooking is one thing that helps to keep me busy, and it's a hobby that my sister and I share...one way for us to keep in touch. My husband is currently deployed to Iraq, but should be home late this summer...and then we'll do some traveling and prepare for our next move. I'm a lucky woman...my husband supports and encourages my scrapbooking! :-D



Thanks for reading my questionnaire!
