Tag-o-rama!

I've been tagged! My buddy Robin tagged me, so here we go!

1. Name your two favorite scrapbooking topics:
My family and myself.

2. Where are the two best places you’ve been to?
Scotland and Toronto.

3. Name two things you do every day:
Kiss my husband and tell him I love him, and check my email (although lately on weekends, I don't respond to emails).

4. Tell us two things that pretty much everyone knows about you:
I'm totally into all kinds of music. I am very tall.

5. Tell us two things that everyone DOESN’T know about you:
One, I spent a summer living in New York City in 1988 when I was still in college. It was for an internship program with the American Society of Magazine Editors. I interned at the trade magazine Engineering News Record. It was during that summer that I met my husband!

Two, I was in a sorority in college. For some reason, this surprises most everyone who meets me now!

6. Tell us two things that got you into the hobby of scrapping:
I did my first scrapbook (totally paper) after we went to Scotland in 1999. I wanted to document the trip. In January 2005, Melissa showed me a book on digital scrapbooking and that was it -- I've been hooked ever since.

7. Tell us two things that you want to accomplish in the next six months:
I want to practice photography and get better with working in manual settings. I'd like to finish writing my second book and really work on getting an agent to shop both books around for me.

8. Name your two favorite scrapping tools:
PhotoShop CS3 and my Crop-a-dile.

9. Name your two favorite sources of scrapping inspiration:
My friends and magazines like Somerset Studio, Cloth Paper Scissors, Scrapbooks Etc., Simple Scrapbooks, etc.

10. How has your scrapping changed since you started?
Well, when I started paper scrapping, there weren't many scrapbooking products out there. I really had to be extremely creative and make-do with what I could find and use things in interesting ways. I think my scrapping since going digi has become much more freestyle and artful.

11. What scrapbooking project have you yet to try but would love to?
Making a book that is just for me. I've made books for my mom and others, but I want to create something that is for me and me alone! ;D

I will tag: Cathy Z, Becky, Erin, and Dara (Dara, you can do yours in the comments section if ya wanna!).

Hi Krista - LOL!

1. Name your two favorite scrapbooking topics:
My son and family events.

2. Where are the two best places you’ve been to?
Galapagos Islands and Sydney, OZ.

3. Name two things you do every day:
Wake up [so far!] and breathe [again, so far].

4. Tell us two things that pretty much everyone knows about you:
I have a child and I live in CA.

5. Tell us two things that everyone DOESN’T know about you:
One - I've been to all the continents
Two - For a non-sports fan, my son's forcing me to become one; we attended over 50 live sporting events last year!

6. Tell us two things that got you into the hobby of scrapping:
Saw a paper scrapbook an extended family member did and thought, "I can do so much better than that." My Mum found out about digi-scrapbooking and after poking about a bit was hooked. Thanks Mum!

7. Tell us two things that you want to accomplish in the next six months:
Decreasing my intake of diet sodas and drop 10 pounds.

8. Name your two favorite scrapping tools:
PhotoShop and, uh, UPS [to get the pages to the great-grandmums!]

9. Name your two favorite sources of scrapping inspiration:
Galleries - especially RAKScraps [check them out daily] - and going thru templates for ideas.

10. How has your scrapping changed since you started?
My scrapping is pretty much the same, although I'm starting to add more "doo-dads," although sometimes you can't tell it's rather subtle. Because I'm scrapping for two women 85+, I have to keep the pages simple.

11. What scrapbooking project have you yet to try but would love to?
Scrapping things before my son was born, which means getting photos scanned in as they're all film.
