OK, this week I went with the very talented Mandy as our "Featured Scrapper"... and if you aren't familiar with this girls work, well let me just introduce ya! :)

Her gallery is here:

and it is truly an inspiration. (Oh, don't forget to click into those albums and see her CT work too!)

She has fabulous photography skills, knows how to work color, and has excellent journaling as well. She just has a great style!

Two of my favorites of hers are:

OK Mandy, we would love to learn more about you! :) Would you answer us the "questions" ... :) Thanks!

2. What camera do you use to take photographs?
3. What are your 3 favorite fonts at the moment?
4. What kind of digital products are you a sucker for?
5. What was the last digital product you bought (give us a link please)?
6. What creative teams are you on or would you love to be on?
7. What show can you not miss on tv every week?
8. What movie could you watch over and over again?
9. Do you have a favorite cd that you like to listen to when you scrap?
10. What other hobbies or crafts do you love?


Here's Mandy's answers! :) (I think I'm gonna start adding them back into the original post.) :)


Wow, I can't believe I'm being featured! LOL
Thanks so much!!!

And now for the answers to your questions:

1. What program do you use to scrap?
I scrap using Adobe Photoshop CS2 and I love it! Photoshop is my bestest friend.

2. What camera do you use to take photographs?
I use a Canon Digital Rebel 300D. I have the kit lens (18-55) but I mostly use my 50mm f 1.8 lens.

3. What are your 3 favorite fonts at the moment?
Oooh, my favorite fonts right now have to be Jane Austen, Belisa Plumilla Manual, and An Unfortunate Event (because it looks so cool as a title when you add a stroke).

4. What kind of digital products are you a sucker for?
Hmm...everything? lol
It's really hard for me to single out one type of product. I love to blend so many types of product on my layouts that I couldnt imagine having to pick one. If you twisted my arm I guess I would have to say papers. Papers are what really draw me to a kit.

5. What was the last digital product you bought (give us a link please)?
The past couple of days I've really been into the curled edges photo frames so today I went and grabbed Katie Pertiet's Curled Photo Frames.

6. What creative teams are you on or would you love to be on?
I am such a lucky gal to be on the teams that I'm on. Each and every one of them are so fantastic to work for! Right now I'm on CTs for ScrapArtist, Sweet Shoppe Designs, The Digi Shoppe, Kimberly Giarrusso & just recently...Sara Carling!
I would love to be on CTs for Gina Miller, Trish Jones, Natalie Braxton, Michelle Underwood & Tracy Ann Robinson.

7. What show can you not miss on tv every week?
Other than Heroes, we don't really watch much prime time television at our house. We enjoy a lot of educational TV like The History Channel, The Travel Channel, TLC and Discovery.

8. What movie could you watch over and over again?
Anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with Pirates of the Caribbean...a lot!

9. Do you have a favorite cd that you like to listen to when you scrap?
The majority of my scrap time is spent while the kids are at school during the day so having nothing in the background but the sound of silence is so wonderful!

10. What other hobbies or crafts do you love?
I really enjoy veggie and flower gardening, sewing, quilting and crocheting. But nothin' can top digi scrappin'!
