Get To Know Me!

I saw a forum topic on scrapbook.com posted by *julie*, and I decided to use it as a blog prompt. Julie if you ever see this, thanks for the prompt! Feel free to answer these questions in your own blog, and then send me a link so I can read it!


1) What inspires you to scrap? (Feel free to list more than one thing!)
2) What's your ideal scrapping environment?
3) If you had to describe your creations in three words, what would they be?
4) What's your best scrapping quality or technique? (Such as Journaling? Color coordinating? Photography?)
5) When did you start scrapping and why?
6) If you could only work with FIVE scrapbook tools/supplies, what would they be and why?
7) What's the best compliment you've ever received about your scrapbooking?

1) What inspires you to scrap? (Feel free to list more than one thing!)
I am inspired to scrap by many things. In highschool and until I became a mom, I wanted to tell my story. Now that I am a mom, I want to tell the story of my son, and of my family. I am especially inspired by old heritage photos that I come across. I love to listen to stories of the good ole days. I wish I had known this a couple years ago. My grandfather (a hero in my eyes) passed a couple years ago, and I never took enough time to hear his story. How I wish, I had taken the time to ask questions, and to listen. So I guess I am inspired by the stories of the world.

2) What's your ideal scrapping environment?
I like to be in my scrap room, alone. I like my supplies organized (that happens rarely), and I love to have a DVD going for some background music. I have to have my computer turned on (need it to scraplift those awesome sb.com los).

3) If you had to describe your creations in three words, what would they be?
timid (a little scared to try new things)
simple
colorful

4) What's your best scrapping quality or technique? (Such as Journaling? Color coordinating? Photography?)
I believe that my photography skills are really starting to shape up! I get so excited when I get that ONE really great photo!

5) When did you start scrapping and why?
I started scrapping in middle school. I had just left Spain after 4 years, and I wanted a way to celebrate those 4 years of childhood. They were a great 4 years.

6) If you could only work with FIVE scrapbook tools/supplies, what would they be and why?
My computer - endless possibilities
My Pazzles - again endless possibilities
Basic Grey Patterned Paper
Flowers
circle cutter


7) What's the best compliment you've ever received about your scrapbooking?
my mom teared up @ her mother's day card
