Thank you so much, Kirsty! I'm thrilled to be featured here ~ what a huge surprise!

Here are the answers to your questions:

1.What program do you use to scrap? Adobe Photoshop CS3

2. What camera do you use to take photographs? I have two....A Canon 20D with several lenses, and a Canon SD100 Elph (my baby camera). I use both of them equally, it just depends on the situation at hand! I don't like toting my SLR to the beach, the ballgame, etc. My Elph takes smokin' photos!

3. What are your 3 favorite fonts at the moment? Mom's Typewriter, Susie's Hand, and Century Gothic

4. What kind of digital products are you a sucker for? Just like in real life, anything colorful and sparkly!

5. What was the last digital product you bought (give us a link please)? These yummy treasures by Holliewood Studios!

I'd love to be on CTs for Tracy Ann Digital Art, Holliewood Studios, Paint the Moon Designs, Weeds and Wildflowers, and the site teams at Scrapartist or Sweet Shoppe Designs. I applied for the CT call at SSD but didn't make it.

7. What show can you not miss on tv every week? I have a few....Survivor, Amazing Race, Project Runway, American Idol, and NFL football!

8. What movie could you watch over and over again? Saturday Night Fever and Love Actually....my two faves of all time!
