Re: ***New Cherry Questionairre***

My name is Brandy Williams, from Corpus Christi, Texas. I work from home as a software developer. I have no kids, but do have one cat and 3 dogs (does that count?!). I have been married for 3 years to a wonderful man I met in college. He has a son from a prev. marriage - he's 16 years old. I have some friends who have been scrapping for years but when I saw my sister-in-law working on some old school photos, it really caught my attention. I asked her some questions about scrapbooking, and the next day, she took me to our local hobby lobby store and I was hooked. Picked up some plain cardstock, some alpha stickers, glue stick and scissors and I started working on some simple layouts to get my feet wet. She and I then had a great idea! My parents will be celebrating their 30th Wedding Anniversary in December 2010, and I have ALL of their photos - from Wedding, to babies, to life in general. That album is almost complete, and at the same time, was able to gather some photos of my husband when he was little (his mom keeps EVERYTHING!) and is now creating album's of us for Mother's Day for both my mother and his mother. I've only been scrapping a year, but I'm hooked!

How did you find ACOT??
My mom sent me the link after she found it.

What technique would you like to learn?
There are SOOO many, hard to choose.

How many photos do you usually place on a layout?
Can't say since I haven't actually completed one yet. Fairly new to the game and have worked mostly on cards so far.

Are you into digital or paper layouts?
I think I will start with paper first, so I can get my hands on the layouts. Maybe digital or hybrid down the line.

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?
None, but thinking about doing a book for some of my travels soon.

Do you have your own scrap room?
Nope...but boy would that be a dream!

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life?
I went to my first crop in real life about a week ago to see what it was like. Pretty cool to see what everyone is working on.

What gives you the creeps?
Hmm, spiders and other crawly things.

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird?
Night-owl, hands down. Doesn't always mesh well with my 7am shifts at work...

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage?
That would definitely depend on my mood, where I am, who I am with. Most likely, not a beer as I'm not a huge beer drinker.

We here at ACOT would love to get to know more about you and this seems like a fun way to do it. Of course we also encourage you starting a thread and introducing yourself, this is just a fun little tool to help you get started!

I will be popping onto the thread and randomly handing out points to those that participate. What are points you ask, click here to find out more.

edited to add:any new cherry can fill this out, but random points will only be given to those that have less than 500 post counts.

And WELCOME to ACOT!!!! We are glad you are here!!!!
How did you find ACOT?? I don't remember exactly how I came about it, but once I found the gallery, I was hooked for inspiration. Especially once I found the cool layouts and cards done by emarie803

What technique would you like to learn? I'm not really looking to learn any new technique right now. I'd like to just get involved with the forums and maybe meet some friends who are into the same hobby as me.

How many photos do you usually place on a layout? Depends on the layout. While I like "white space", sometimes having too much of it on a 12x12 looks too bare. So generally, I would say.... 5 or 6??

Are you into digital or paper layouts? I've been doing digital since 2005 however I started missing the paper fun, so I just started doing hybrid.

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)? I have a "Through the Years" school book for my son that I'm working on. It's all paper..and should have been completed last year :( (sad to say; i know) Also, I'm in the gathering stages of another book. I also just joined the forum and started the journaling challenge.

Do you have your own scrap room? Yes.

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? Oh yes! My best friend and I used to go all the time! We've also been to the 3 day crops. Very fun! ...However, I've since moved to northern CA and have NO scrapbuddies here and unfortunately, she is afraid of the computer! So long distance scrappin' isn't going to work.

What gives you the creeps? Spiders

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird? Early bird

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage? Beer!

How did you find ACOT??
My friend JMO95...she is an enabler...watch out for her...LOL Love Ya!
:-D

What technique would you like to learn?
Anything by Holtz...loving my distress inks..but i'm sure i could do more with them.
How many photos do you usually place on a layout?
Usually no more then 3-4...depends on what i am doing


Are you into digital or paper layouts?
Paper layouts...for the aforementioned reason....i'm soo not tech savvy!


What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?
I just completed pictures of a concert i went to...actually embossed a page for the band to sign ( i won a meet and greet pass!

Yes...I'm very fortunate. We re-did our attic about 1 1/2 ago, and i took over a portion of it for scrapping...trying to get it organized a little better.

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life?
Yes. Went to my local michaels last night for a crop night...had a blast sharing and learning from my fellow croppers.

What gives you the creeps?
That depends...this week a kid brought along a ventriloquist dummy into where i work. Little Max was sitting in a chair and that blank stare was really creeping me out. So that one takes the cake this week. I also get creeped out by space invaders (you know the people that feel the need to stand way to close to you in line)
Are you a night-owl or an early-bird?
Early bird i guess...but i am slightly more lively mid day.
