"Bring it on - gimme somethin' new" (adventurous in techniques & ideas), "If it ain't broke don't fix it" (content with how things look now),
"I prefer the "Old School" look" (not really into all the embellishments)
I am somewhere in between bring it on and if it aint broke don't fix it! I really love to try new things in my layouts, but it has to be simple to do (or to figure out!)

12. Any other information you would like to share with your sister?I love surprises and get so excited when I hear form you on the boards or in my mailbox! I'm easy to please (I think anyway!) and definately don't mind sharing some items from your personal stash. Thanks in advance for being a great Big Sis!

1. Scrapping, Card Making or Both?Mainly scrapping...but I've been dabbling in the cards

2. Would you consider yourself beginner, intermediate, or advanced? somewhere between beginner and intermediate

3. Which phrase better suits how you scrap?
"Bring it on - gimme somethin' new" (adventurous in techniques & ideas), "If it ain't broke don't fix it" (content with how things look now),
"I prefer the "Old School" look" (not really into all the embellishments)
I like to try a few things here are there but shy away from some of the embellishments and techniques

4. What size pages do you scrap?12x12

5. Any special event you are currently scrapping for?Desperately trying to finish DS's book so that I can move on to others but it's been VERY slow going. Maybe winter will be better?

6. Paper ~ Patterns or Plain, favorite Theme or Brand?No real favorites, I use everything

7. Any favorite colors - or colors you use most often?For DS book it has of course blue and a lot of green. But I use them all.

8. What embellishment can you just NOT get enough of?I have a ton of ribbon and eyelets which I use all the time but still have a TON of. I've also gone through a lot of chipboard letters recently as titles (since I don't have any die cut machines) and really like the way that they've turned out. Plus I used to cut letters out by hand and i notice I have a lot more time now

9. What adhesive do you use? Finally found one I really like...tombo mono

10. Is there something that you really really want?I don't have any punches and I've seen a lot of cards that use a combo of a circle then another scalloped circle on top used as an embellishment, with the top white circle stamped. I'd love a gift of pre-punched colored circles and white scallop circles so I can stamp the top one and use on cards.(does that all make sense?)

11. Where do you get most of your supplies (favorite store or site)Joanns and Michaels

12. Any other information you would like to share with your sister?The biggest fun of this is just getting little messages and getting to know someone.
