Scrap Space: I have a study nook, no bigger than 2mx2m. Not ideal but it will do. It has a desk, my sewing machine, my guillotine and a filing cabinet which holds the majority of my scrapping gear. At least I can close the door to a big mess!
Scrap Style:I have no idea what my style is. I guess I like to try new things, I try to mix brands and use plenty of embellishements. I enjoy using patterns as background and hardly use plain cardstock any more. Overall though I guess my style would be described as clean with detail.
Fav Colour: This is a tough one. At the moment I am enjoying using lots of colour in general. I don’t scrap with purple or green often. Blues seem to dominate my scrap gear.
Can't Scrap Without: my double sided tape. I find it so easy, just tear off a piece and use it to stick stuff down, so much less messy than glue!
Inspiration: I am constantly surfing blogs for inspiration. I find a lot of my ideas sprout just from looking through magazines and other peoples work. I like to try new things and am always experimenting, try to mimick stuff I have seen elsewhere. I especially love the manufacturers blogs – prima and cosmo cricket always spark my interest.
Perfect Day: plodding around the house doing nothing. Not too hot, cool enough for jeans and tshirt. Having the kids in the background with my computer on and playing with paper!
Perfect Holiday: We’ve been to a lot of places but I think Melbourne will always call me back. I love the lifestyle, a little bohemian, lots of window shopping, gardens to stroll, coffee shops to explore with some art and history thrown in. I think that’s why I loved Paris and Rome so much. Its all about culture for me.
Fav Food: Pasta. I could eat pasta most days if only my waist would allow it.
Fav Drink: Pepsi Max/diet coke if its hot, or a good skinny hazelnut latte if its cold. Of course champagne and margaritas are for night time and holidays J
Can't Live Without: It sounds clique, but I really can’t live without my family. Particularly my husband. He is my rock, my sounding board and knows me better than anyone.
