Re: ***New Cherry Questionairre***
How did you find ACOT??
I found ACOT quite a few years ago when it was Stickers Galore on the web while surfing in search of paper scrapbooking products. Iv'e been a fan every since then. :-D


What technique would you like to learn?

I'd be interested to learn how to blend the photos in a digital layout into the background, I think however you need to have Photoshop to learn that. :?

How many photos do you usually place on a layout?

Minimum four usually about six on two pages. I am accustomed to doing layouts of two pages, I don't do one pagers unless the papers on the opposite side can be made to "work" together. Example I'd never put a layout done in purple and pinks on a page opposite a page done with blue's and blacks.

Are you into digital or paper layouts?

I was a paper scrapper for years, maybe ten. For a while a friend and I were doing scrapbooks for clients and I fell behind paper scrapping pages for four grandkids. So about a month ago I hopped onto the digital band wagon. Pretty sure I'll catch up much quicker!

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?

Just finished a layout in blues and whites with a touch of pink for my grandaughter titled Winter in VT.

Do you have your own scrap room?

Yes I do have my own scrap room and now I've captured the computer as well (that has it's own room too - now mine LOL!)

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life?

I've been to many crops but never one online.

What gives you the creeps?

Parking lots at night when I'm alone.

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

Been an early-bird all my life. I love worms! :-D

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

I'm pretty boring at 5 O'clock so a Fuze Empower drink of Gogi Wild Berry is pretty much it for me. (Unless I'm at a Bluegrass Fest, then I'll probably nurse a Cherry Vodka and Coke.) ;)

How did you find ACOT??
I believe it was throught a general internet search. I have been scrapbooking off and on since 1996. Started when all there was , was Creative Memories. I have been married for 29 years to a military man. We have no children unless you call the 10 to 20 four-legged kind that we have running around.


What technique would you like to learn?

Some hybrid scrapping interest me and doing more with inks and coloring

How many photos do you usually place on a layout?

3 to 5 usually. I usually just scrap vacation photos. We are fortunate in that we ge to take 3 or 4 big vacations a year.

Are you into digital or paper layouts?

I do mainly 12 x 12 paper layouts but I have been doing more cards lately.

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?

I just completed a photo album for my mother on our recent trip to Scottsdale, Arizona

Do you have your own scrap room?

Yes, but it is still not as I would like it. It is not effecient in design or layout and am looking at revising it in the near future.

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life?

Used to do real life crops on a monthly basis but haven't been to one lately. I have tried hosting my own but the women I work with are much younger and have little children and alot going on in their lives so hard to get them together. I have attended 3 online crops. I have gone to several Creating Keepsakes conventions in charlotte.

What gives you the creeps?

I am pretty independent and have spent alot of time alone and have had to make do. Slugs do. I garden, too.

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

I work night shift so I am definitely a night-owl married to an early-bird gets the worm. We are on two different orbits at times.

Re: ***New Cherry Questionairre***
How did you find ACOT?? The gals on the CK message board were talking about how great ACOT was so I thought I'd check it out and discovered great paper supplies, cute digi kits and this MB too!

What technique would you like to learn? I'd like to get better at digi - maybe even creating digi supplies

How many photos do you usually place on a layout? rarely do I do just one - usually 3 to 4 on a single page LO and 6-7 on a 2 pager. Digi usually means more photos on a LO for me since I print photos in 4x6 for paper LOs

Are you into digital or paper layouts? both (though I'm in more of a digi kick at the moment but I like both equally)

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)? I'm doing a lot of hockey LOs since my son and my husband are both in their first hockey classes and I've also been doing some challenges (just posted one with my cat as the subject)

Do you have your own scrap room? mostly yes, I share space in my son's playroom for my paper scrapping and I can take my laptop where ever I need to

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? Yes to both and they are fun. I crop occasionally with friends but have never been to a big "commercial crop" or a crop at a convention

What gives you the creeps? bugs

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

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage? I rarely have anything but I enjoy the occasional glass of Merlot, Midori Sour or Oatmeal Stout (dark beer)

Re: ***New Cherry Questionairre***

Hello! I found this site last night and am so excited I did! So far everyone here seems so nice! I'll tell you a little about myself and I can't wait to learn more about the people on here. I'm a stay-at-home mom. I have one son and am married to the love of my life! I've been scrapbooking for almost three years, son after my son was born. It was my sister-in-law that told me about scrapbooking, I went to her house and fell in love with her scrap room. The very first thing I made was an anniversary present for my husband using some supplies that she gave me. Ever since then I haven't been able to stop. I just wish that I had discovered it sooner!



How did you find ACOT??

Searching for a particular brand of paper at a cheaper price (and I found it!)

What technique would you like to learn?

I love distressing and aging so I would love to learn more ways to do that!

How many photos do you usually place on a layout?
Typically I'm a one photo type of person unless I'm doing a two-pager then it's about 5 or 6 on a page.




Are you into digital or paper layouts?

Paper. I've heard digital is cheaper but I'm just not compurter savvy in that respect!

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?
Right now I'm working on finally scrapping our Christmas photos and am slowly doing a heritage album for my son when he gets older.




Do you have your own scrap room?

Yes! My husband and I bought our first home a little over a year ago. The third bedroom was supposed to be the exercise/scrap room but I've kind of taken over. LOL

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life?

The closest thing to a crop I've been to is scrapping with my sister-in-law. She and I started scrapping about the same time. Her and my other sister-in-law are the only ones I know that really scrapbook.

What gives you the creeps?
Spiders and snakes. I used to live in an old farm house so finding snakes in the basement was about a daily occurance. *shiver* Oh, and mice, we had to get rid of our first one a few months ago, it was not a happy experience.




Are you a night-owl or an early-bird?
Well I have always been more of a night-owl but when my husband got a promotion several weeks ago he switched to first shift so I'm slowly becoming a early-bird. Unfortunately my almost-three year old has always been an early-bird. LOL



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

Coke Zero. If I have one everything is right in the world!

How did you find ACOT??


Through my SIL (Mommybruno).


What technique would you like to learn?

I need to learn how to shadow bette. All of my shadows have that unnatural uniform shadowing right now.



How many photos do you usually place on a layout?


Usually just 1, but no more than 3 usually.

Are you into digital or paper layouts?




Digital/hybrid



What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?


I am working on a Father's day page now, but I just finished hybrid clutch purses for my children's teacher for their end of the year gifts.

Do you have your own scrap room?



Not unless you call my dinningroom table or my bed my scrap room....LOL. That is where I do most of my scrapping.


Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life?


I just participated in my first crop for iNSD here at ACOT. My SIL and I got a hotel room together and scrapped together. We had a blast. I am very unsure of myself when it comes to scrapping so it was nice to have her there with me.

What gives you the creeps?


I don't like the dark. Well, not so much the dark, but that I cannot tell what is hidden in the dark. Another thing that gives me the creeps is when you see little kids with snotty faces....that is soooo gross!



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


Definitaly not a morning person, but not so much a night-owl either. If I stay up past 10 I am a complete grouch but I can sleep in until 10 and not think anything of it. Thankfully my kids are late sleepers too.

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



That would have to be a virigin margarita (I don't drink alcohol due to religious beliefs). I just love the salty limey combo......Yummers!!!


So there you go there is a little more infor on me.

Even during the 5 years I did not scrapbook I still looked at scrapbook stuff, so I've always shopped here.

I have no idea what technique I would like to learn...there are just too many.

I like to use 4x6 photos, so only one or two.

I'm a paper girl.

I completed a wedding album for a woman at work.

My scrap room is 1/4 office, 3/4 scrap room.

I just went to my first ever crop last weekend.

Storms, wooly worms, and heights give me the creeps.

I work noon to 9pm so I tend to be a night owl.

And my beverage of choice is a cold glass of sweet tea!
