[angedawn]

OK, from the first moment I clicked on Karen's gallery I knew she was meant to be our "Featured Scrapper" this week... the girl is just superbly talented, and her gallery is packed full of awesome layouts! (97... can you believe it!) And 97 really cool layouts too! :)

You can see her entire gallery here:

These two layouts seemed to really jump out at me:

Awesome choice! She is a creative woman and so kind with all of her comments! She is a credit to the digital community!

[chris]

A terrific choice!
I love her style and I need to go do some loving on her latest because she hardly ever misses mine, or anyone else's for that matter! She has been named the praise queen - or title similar to that!

Plus we just found out recently that she is so, so cute!

Yes, a great choice and Congratulations Karen! :) :)

:) How cool! Geez...gotta check out this forum more often lol. Thanks for the PM :)

ok...here to bore you w/my answers lol


GETTING TO KNOW OUR FEATURED SCRAPPER:

1. What program do you use to scrap?
PSCS2 baby!


2. What camera do you use to take photographs?
Finally caved and just got me a dRebel in July :D Love it - wish I would've jumped the gun earlier lol.


3. What are your 3 favorite fonts at the moment?
Oh man - I'm so not a font freak so I tend to stick to the same old fonts. I think I use CK Marissa, Mom's Typewriter and Carpenter ICG (it's not a font, but I've been on a Michelle Coleman stamped alpha kick too)


4. What kind of digital products are you a sucker for?
Flowers, flowers, flowers!! I never considered myself a girlie-girl, but I sure love flowers. Pretty flower patterned papers and realistic flowers.


5. What was the last digital product you bought (give us a link please!!)
Can I just point you in the direction of Corina's shop (http://www.thedigishoppe.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=16)??? lol. Well...I got 10 yummy goodies (ok, she sent me the 10th - Arsenal 2 - for the promo she had). My favorite buy from the bunch is her Funky Bunch (http://www.thedigishoppe.com/shop/product.php?productid=16255&cat=0&page=4) (did I mention that I'm a sucker for flowers lol!!!)

Besides those cool flowers - the other favorite thing I got recently was Kim Jensen's Cord Crazy Bundle (http://www.scrapdish.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=718). Ok...I'm on the Scrapdish CT lol, but I would so be all over this for $3.75!!!


6. What creative teams are you on or would you love to be on?
I'm on 6 creative teams :D
In alpha order :):
Amanda Rockwell (http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/shoppe/index.php?manufacturers_id=12&zenid=58d2f3ba0f77c9f248effd8da5aba6db&main_page=index)
Janel Krestchman (http://www.thedigishoppe.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=1)
Khristy Schmidt (http://www.thedailyscrap.com/mall/index.php?zenid=aee4141dd5beb46bd08eda6223cc93bd&manufacturers_id=24&zenid=aee4141dd5beb46bd08eda6223cc93bd&main_page=index)
Kristin Cronin-Barrow (http://www.acherryontop.com/digital/artist/kristin_cronin-barrow/?sr=0)
ScrapDish (http://www.scrapdish.com/store/index.php?main_page=products_new)
and
Zoe Pearn (http://www.matterofscrap.com/)

So they keep me busy and I stopped applying and accepting lol after that. BUT some of these store CT calls have been REALLy tempting!


7. What movie could you watch over and over again?
lol....uh oh lol. Ummm...it's a 3-way tie between Predator, Alien II and Anne of Green Gables lol


8. What show can you not miss on tv every week?
I don't watch much TV after I had kids...and got into digital scrapbooking. But I love reality shows. Trying to keep up w/Big Brother and wish that the Mole would come back lol.


9. Do you have a favorite cd that you like to listen to when you scrap?
I scrap in silence. Most of my scrapping is done on my laptop in bed after the girls go to sleep...so I must be quiet ;)


10. What other hobbies or crafts do you love?
This hobby has really pushed me to slowly better my photography. I used to love reading Dean Koontz novels. I play the piano for one of my church's choirs and the orchestra.

Ok...you all asleep yet :D lol

[Hom74]

hee hee...some of the girls at Jen Wilson's forum was pushing...I mean...encouraging me to put up an avie so that we could all see who was doing the chatting :) I finally caved lol.

A terrific choice!
I love her style and I need to go do some loving on her latest because she hardly ever misses mine, or anyone else's for that matter! She has been named the praise queen - or title similar to that!

[Shannon]

OMG me too! I loved the Mole! BRING IT BACK ABC!!

I was :lol: at your 3 favorite movies. Does Anne of Green Gables really go with Predator and Alien II?? :p

I love your scrap style and I especially appreciate how much you contribute to DST! You're our praise QUEEN and you are so incredibly helpful to me the way you answer tech questions that I haven't had a chance to get to. I am always so appreciative of you everytime I see your name on a help post or a praise in the gallery. Your positive and friendly attitude, not to mention your gorgeous artwork are such an example of everything we'd hoped DST would be - an artistic community that supports each other! That's you in a nutshell Karen!

[Shannon]

She is the praise queen ( and it always seems sincere ;) )

Exactly! No c&p 2-word comments from Karen. She actually looks for things that she loves about a layout! Genuine sincerity!

[slkone]

Love ya, Karen!
