How did you find ACOT??
A friend referred me.
What technique would you like to learn?
Hmmmm....I haven't thought about that...
How many photos do you usually place on a layout?
Anywhere from 1-10+, depending on if I'm doing a one-page or a two-page spread.
Are you into digital or paper layouts?
Paper. I do take digital pics, and print them either at home or at WalMart, Walgreen's, etc. I read somewhere that doing pics digitally and the rest of the LOs paper makes you a hybrid scrapper. Sometimes I create journaling blocks and such on the computer, print them on cs, and add them to the page.
What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?
I'm getting ready to start working on my LSS' kit challenge. I bought a kit for $10 (and it seems to be recipe- and food-related) and I create a LO with what's in the kit. I submit my LO to the LSS for voting, both online and in-store. If I win, I get the next month's kit free, and a week early, and I'm that month's guest designer.
Do you have your own scrap room?
Kind of. My dining room does double duty as my scrap room.
Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life?
Yes. I've been to a couple of crops at Archiver's many moons ago, a couple at my LSS, and too many to count online.
What gives you the creeps?
Creepy-crawlies. Snakes, bugs, spiders, mice, etc. I'm such a girl.
Are you a night-owl or an early-bird?
I used to be a night owl, but since my work schedule changed from late-night closes to opening at too-early o'clock, I've become an early bird.
=12.8000001907349pxWhat is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage?
Rum and Diet Coke.

What technique would you like to learn? Anything! Mixed media would be awesome.

Thank You!!!!!!
How did you find ACOT??
I think originally I was looking for an active online scrapbook community. I stumbled across ACOT and have stayed ever since!
What technique would you like to learn?
I Love All techniques and am a total junkie. I haven't done much with using white space and splattering...I am trying to use page maps more and I am also trying to incorporate stamping on to my pages.
How many photos do you usually place on a layout?
I hate making decisions so I usually work in 2 page spreads and try to get as many on a page as is possible.
Are you into digital or paper layouts?
I am a paper layout girl.
What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?
I am so far behind that I am working on everything from vacations, school days, baby albums, etc. I promised my daughters that I would at least have their baby books done before college, and my oldest is a junior in high school.
Do you have your own scrap room?
I have almost half of our bedroom. My sweet trophy husband is ok with this since he says he likes to encourage me!
Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life?
Yes, both! And I love them both. I used to live in PA before I lived here in Albuquerque. There are so many fewer crop opportunities out here that I appreciate ACOT even more!
What gives you the creeps?
snakes, spiders
Are you a night-owl or an early-bird?
kinda both. I don't sleep very well so it feels like I am always up.
What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage?
It has been a pina colada forever, but I have branched out to include chocolate martinis and peach mohitos.
Thank You!!!!!!

Surfing scrapbook sights
What technique would you like to learn?
use of patterned paper & layering them

The last LO I did was a month in review for May. Next will be one for June. In between I have been using up enlargements of my son's wedding.

How did you find ACOT??
I used to have many sticker book pen pals and I needed a place to buy stickers I found ACOT online and ordered stickers from them. So many years ago I knew them and since more and more scrapbooking places were closing I checked them out again and checked out the message board and store and fell in love again.
What technique would you like to learn?
I would love to learn how to use inks? I'm scared to try them because I am scared of ruining my paper but I love the splattered look.
How many photos do you usually place on a layout?
Usually two and more if they fit.
Are you into digital or paper layouts?
paper layouts, I love digital but don't know how I would print them out?? Anyone know?
What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?
I am not on any particular theme, just working on the challenges and doing whatever comes to mind.
Do you have your own scrap room?
I do, but I wish I had enough things to organize it better.
Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life?
I've been cropping for many years now. Since a few of the places closed that we use to go to, our Home Town Craft store has one and two night scrap nights and then we go home and sleep and go back the next day to finish. I have also went to Forest Haven for a four day three night crop a few times.
What gives you the creeps?
Night, I really do not like dark, that gives me the creeps and scary movies I need to watch during the day. And I absolutely flip out when I see a snake or even the tiniest worm! Hate them. UGH!
Are you a night-owl or an early-bird?
I'm a night owl.
What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage?
I love strawberry margarita's and wine coolers or just give me a diet coke!

paper layouts, I love digital but don't know how I would print them out?? Anyone know?
What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?
I am not on any particular theme, just working on the challenges and doing whatever comes to mind.
Do you have your own scrap room?
I do, but I wish I had enough things to organize it better.
Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life?
I've been cropping for many years now. Since a few of the places closed that we use to go to, our Home Town Craft store has one and two night scrap nights and then we go home and sleep and go back the next day to finish. I have also went to Forest Haven for a four day three night crop a few times.
What gives you the creeps?
Night, I really do not like dark, that gives me the creeps and scary movies I need to watch during the day. And I absolutely flip out when I see a snake or even the tiniest worm! Hate them. UGH!
Are you a night-owl or an early-bird?
I'm a night owl.
What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage?
I love strawberry margarita's and wine coolers or just give me a diet coke!

Hi! My name is Gabi and I'm new to this site but not at all new to Scrapbooking. I am a creative scrapper but I also love the simplicity of Project life type pages. I am a HUGE HUGE planner (I decorate my planner pages as well as add photos to them) I currently live in Princeton, NJ but am originally from Aspen, Colorado. My favorite page sizes are 8x8 and 12x12 though I'm working mostly with my planner as a memory book lately.
I am a life coach and specialize in working with people who are going through chemotherapy . You can say it was my calling in life. I figured since I am also going through chemo (2nd time now) that I know the ropes pretty well since I was on chemo for 18 months the first time!
I am a red headed, happy, crazy, fun-loving, creative lunatic who loves her life and all those in it!!
Nice to meet you all!!

How did you find ACOT?? I was looking for a National Scrapbooking Day online place and found ACOT (April 2015) I instantly fell in love with ACOT!!
What technique would you like to learn? Always open to try new ideas. Plan to learn a watercolor technique this weekend.
How many photos do you usually place on a layout? I have a huge family (49 nieces and nephews alone), so I always have at least 3 to 5 pictures per page!!
Are you into digital or paper layouts? I do paper layouts. I love to just play with all the embellishments and papers!!! I wouldn't mind trying digital, just haven't gotten into it:)
What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)? I tend to work on what catches my eye. I have thousands of pictures to scrap, so I always have plenty of pictures to choose from:) Right now I tend to want to do pictures of my grandson, but my Alaska trip or Christmas seem to be holding my attention:)
Do you have your own scrap room? Yes, now that my sons are grown up and moved out, I took over my youngest son's room. It is wonderful!!!
Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? I love to go to retreats and scrapbook vacations several times a year. I also totally enjoy doing online crops and challenges:)
What gives you the creeps? Nothing comes to mind at the moment. Bugs crawling on me!
Are you a night-owl or an early-bird? Early bird generally.
What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage? I like sweet drinks in alcohol. My husband teases that I like kool aid drinks:)
