1 - How you prefer frames? Ornate, realistic, on top of photo as if it's really framed.
2 - Your favorite element? Flowers + leaves.
3 - Alphas - how do you usually use them? I use them rarely. When I use them, I write a short word as an accent (or title) because I find it annoying to write longer words/sentences.
4 - Ribbons: straight or curly? Curly!
5 - Buttons/flairs: yes or no? No! I always delete them when they are present in templates. In kits, I usually skip them.
6 - Paper pieces? Sure! They are fun.
7 - Patterned or solids papers? Patterned.
8 - Multi photos or just one per page? I personally prefer one per page but I usually do multi for photobooks just because I have too many photos.
9 - Big word arts or small word strips? Both, please!
10 - Do you use brushes? Yes, with pleasure!
11 - And doodles? Yes! I love them! They always make me buy a kit.
12 - Photo treatment: photoshop or lightroom? Lightroom because I shoot RAW.
13 - Templates: yes or no? If yes, Do you change them? Usually NO! If I use them, I don't change them except to delete the too many journal spots.
14 - Label or tag? Or both? None.
15 - Where you go to look for inspiration? Gallery, pinterest.
16 - Something you always think you should do to your pages and always forget: cool, artistic journaling.
17 - Favorite theme for kits? Everyday and Christmas.
18 - Complete the sentence: Sweet Shoppe + lots of kits = happiness
19 - How do you follow your favorite designers? Facebook only. I don't usually subscribe to newsletters because I find the SSD newsletter more than enough.

1 - How you prefer frames? I like frames to be simple... either square or rectangle or Polaroid. I dont use them very often.
2 - Your favorite element? String! can't get enough of it.
3 - Alphas - how do you usually use them? I usually try to pick one word of my title to be the focal and make it using alphas and do the rest in a font. It's mostly because I am lazy and the thought of all the layers it would be is intimidating. I also prefer to use Alphas that are on a sheet... so much easier than opening separate files for each letter.
4 - Ribbons: straight or curly? I like my ribbon straight and my string curly.
5 - Buttons/flairs: yes or no? ALWAYS... either or, doesn't matter sometimes both, but there are always some on my pages.
6 - Paper pieces? YES! Again, Lazy scrapper here... I LOVE when there are already made paper pieces.... they are great when scrapping in a hurry and don't have time to go through different shape collections to make my own.
7 - Patterned or solids papers? Both, but I have learned I don't like small detailed patterns.
8 - Multi photos or just one per page? Both... I like to try to have multi photos, but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way.
9 - Big word arts or small word strips? I like word strips best. Especially where there are general words on neutral colors that I can use over and over again.
10 - Do you use brushes? not often.
11 - And doodles? I love doodles, but find it hard to use ones that are theme specific, so te more general the better.
12 - Photo treatment: photoshop or lightroom? I don't use Photoshop so I have no preference here..... YET.
13 - Templates: yes or no? If yes, Do you change them? I love templates, but I rarely leave them EXACTLY as they are.
14 - Label or tag? Or both? Usually label, but I get excited whenever I can actually make a tag work on my page
15 - Where you go to look for inspiration? Pinterest usually, unless I want inspiration on a certain theme or kit, then I hit the gallery.
16 - Something you always think you should do to your pages and always forget: Journal more!!!
17 - Favorite theme for kits? Outdoors / Seashore
18 - Complete the sentence: Sweet Shoppe + _____________ = happiness Silence (I scrap best when it is quiet... first thing in the morning before anyone wakes up with a hot cup of coffee and my collection of kits... ahhhhh, heaven. )
19 - How do you follow your favorite designers? Facebook... it's just where I always am, and gotta love multi-tasking. lol
20 - Show us your favorite page! Oh geeze.... I always have a hard time picking one... they are all my favorite when I complete and post them, but when I look back through my gallery my fav always changes.... I'll go with this one for today. haha


PS: I already want to change my mind on my fav, but hitting send anyway LOL

1 - How you prefer frames? I love them all, but would love to see a square and rectandular version of the same frame, no more weird sizing when trying to fit it to a picture.
2 - Your favorite element? Flowers, I've got to have flowers. And glitter.
3 - Alphas - how do you usually use them? Titles most often.
4 - Ribbons: straight or curly? Both, but curly if I could only choose one.
5 - Buttons/flairs: yes or no? Flairs yes please, buttons not so much.
6 - Paper pieces? Eh, I usually just make my own. Unless it's a fancy label or sticker.
7 - Patterned or solids papers? Both, but most often I use patterns for my layouts. Wooden ones is a big hit.
8 - Multi photos or just one per page? Depends on the pictures, some needs to stand alone and get all the attention while some can hang out with friends.
9 - Big word arts or small word strips? Both, I love to mix and match.
10 - Do you use brushes? Nope
11 - And doodles? Rarely
12 - Photo treatment: photoshop or lightroom? Haven't got time, I just scrap to get it all documented. One day I would like to learn how to do it properly and fix some.
13 - Templates: yes or no? If yes, Do you change them? On occasion I love a template and sometimes I'll change them, but I also love the challenge of starting with a clean page.
14 - Label or tag? Or both? Label
15 - Where you go to look for inspiration? The SSD gallery and SSD's pinterest boards.
16 - Something you always think you should do to your pages and always forget: Upload them to the SSD gallery.
17 - Favorite theme for kits? Everyday kits, outdoorsy kits and kits that can be used for anything. I mix and match between alll my kits to get the perfect look.
18 - Complete the sentence: Sweet Shoppe + Kristin Cronin Barrow = happiness.
19 - How do you follow your favorite designers? Facebook and Instagram
20 - Show us your favorite page! I really love this one. It's a page I've been wanting to make for a long time and finally did. Kristin's kit just fit perfectly (and of course I threw in some other bits and pieces to make it just right for me).

1 - How you prefer frames? I don't very often use frames. Sometimes I stick them in a paper stack for layering if they're really ornate and I like the design.
2 - Your favorite element? hands down flowers. Can't scrap without them. lace is a close second
3 - Alphas - how do you usually use them? I like big titles, I just feel like I can't make them look right, so I don't use them often.
4 - Ribbons: straight or curly? Mmmm... probably curly is my fave to stick out of clusters, but I like straight too!
5 - Buttons/flairs: yes or no? Not often. Getting better at adding them.
6 - Paper pieces? They're good for layering
7 - Patterned or solids papers? Both!!
8 - Multi photos or just one per page? I like both, but if I do one photo, I most often like it to be a big photo.
9 - Big word arts or small word strips? I think I use word strips more often.
10 - Do you use brushes? I often forget about the actual brushes, but I use stamps a lot.
11 - And doodles? I like them in the background.
12 - Photo treatment: photoshop or lightroom? Photoshop
13 - Templates: yes or no? If yes, Do you change them? I do love templates, and I do change them sometimes. Especially if I use them more than once.
14 - Label or tag? Or both? Eh, both, I guess.
15 - Where you go to look for inspiration? Gallery, art, music, my kids
16 - Something you always think you should do to your pages and always forget: I do sometimes forget little background bits like the doodles and paint.
17 - Favorite theme for kits? Do 'flowers' count as a theme?
18 - Complete the sentence: Sweet Shoppe + CAKE = happiness
19 - How do you follow your favorite designers? I guess FB.
20 - Show us your favorite page! A favorite is hard!! I have lots of favorites... Picking one is hard, so I'm going to go with a recent fave.

1 - How you prefer frames? I mostly use them in the traditional way. Here lately I prefer thin or polaroid frames.

2 - Your favorite element? Flowers (with greenery)

3 - Alphas - how do you usually use them? I love metal and glittery alphas the most. I will sometimes use scripty fonts with my alphas if I want a little variety.

4 - Ribbons: straight or curly? Curly!

5 - Buttons/flairs: yes or no? Absolutely! I use them on pretty much every layout.

6 - Paper pieces? Sure!

7 - Patterned or solids papers? I like to have both, but I mostly use patterned.

8 - Multi photos or just one per page? Again, I like variety, so it just depends on the layout.

9 - Big word arts or small word strips? Both! (Are you seeing a trend here? ). I'm particularly fond of the small strips.

10 - Do you use brushes? Yep

11 - And doodles? Love doodles!

12 - Photo treatment: photoshop or lightroom? I just started using LR recently and am still learning all its features, so again, I use both.

13 - Templates: yes or no? If yes, Do you change them? Sure. I find them especially helpful when scrapping 3 or more photos. I usually keep them mostly in tact with small modifications.

14 - Label or tag? Or both? Both, but labels if I had to choose.

15 - Where you go to look for inspiration? The galleries, Pinterest, paper scrapbooking sites.

16 - Something you always think you should do to your pages and always forget: It used to be dating them, but I've gotten a lot better about that in the last few months.

17 - Favorite theme for kits? Anything cameraelated. I love Disney kits too, even though I don't have any recent pics to scrap. *sob*

18 - Complete the sentence: Sweet Shoppe + _____________ = happiness Me becoming a Sugar Babe one of these days

19 - How do you follow your favorite designers? Every way I can! Instagram, blogs, FB. I'm a total stalker. Lol

20 - Show us your favorite page! This is my most recent fave. I just did it for the Summer Games Weightlifting challenge, and I really love how it turned out.

1 - How you prefer frames? I don't use them very often and when I do it's mainly in the background as one of the elements. For this reason, I don't have a huge preference.
2 - Your favorite element? Lately it is stitching, but I am a huge lover of flowers and paint.
3 - Alphas - how do you usually use them? I very rarely use them.
4 - Ribbons: straight or curly? Gotta have both, most times.
5 - Buttons/flairs: yes or no? Yes, to both!

7 - Patterned or solids papers? Must have both.
8 - Multi photos or just one per page? One, unless I am pocket scrapping.

10 - Do you use brushes? Oh gosh, yes!
11 - And doodles? Sometimes, depends on the kit and the doodle.
12 - Photo treatment: photoshop or lightroom? Photoshop
13 - Templates: yes or no? If yes, Do you change them? Yes, otherwise, it takes me forever to scrap without one. I love the ability to manipulate and make it my own, and I most definitely don't leave them as is.
14 - Label or tag? Or both? Either or, I don't use either very often.
15 - Where you go to look for inspiration? Pinterest, the gallery, or Google.
16 - Something you always think you should do to your pages and always forget: Title and journal work.

01 - How you prefer frames? I don't use frames. The closest I get is using the ones in Cindy's templates as a Polaroid-type frame.
02 - Your favorite element? I always use scatters & splatters on my background.
03 - Alphas: how do you usually use them? I don't! I'm a terrible titler so I usually pick a piece of wordart for the title & call it good. I love looking at alphas, though.
04 - Ribbons: straight or curly? Doesn't matter. I use strings instead.
05 - Buttons/flairs: yes or no? I like them. I use them every once in awhile.
06 - Paper pieces? I'm not sure what a paper piece is.
07 - Patterned or solids papers? I love patterns but usually use them in small doses.
08 - Multi photos or just one per page? It depends on the page. Moment/personality pages get one apiece & event/adventure pages get more.
09 - Big word arts or small word strips? I love a big piece of wordart for my title.
10 - Do you use brushes? Yes, I love using brushes to 'dirty up' the background paper(s).
11 - And doodles? Yes please!
12 - Photo treatment: Photoshop or Lightroom? Just Photoshop, thanks. I'm way too lazy to open up a separate program just to edit my photos.
13 - Templates: yes or no? If yes, Do you change them? I love templates but I always delete all the element layers before I use them.
14 - Label or tag? Or both? I love tucking little labels & tags into my clusters.
15 - Where you go to look for inspiration? Right here at SSD, of course!
16 - Something you always think you should do to your pages and always forget: In a perfect world, I would tweak my shadows beyond the actions I have... but we don't live in a perfect world, do we?!
17 - Favorite theme for kits?I love gurlpower kits!
18 - Complete the sentence: Sweet Shoppe + _____________ = happiness Hulu Plus
19 - How do you follow your favorite designers? I don't really. I don't use much scrap stuff outside of what is here at SSD.
20 - Show us your favorite page! I always want to scrap some of my favorite songs/lyrics but usually don't get around to it. I did with this page, though, & love how it turned out.

I NEVER make layouts without a template, so this really really stretched me. It took me forever to come up with a design, but once I did, I love how it turned out. (Especially since circles stress me out!)

1 - How you prefer frames? Paper, behind my photos, square or rectangle
2 - Your favorite element? Flowers! Lots and lots and lots of flowers... (and leaves, and butterflies... And things that are just a little bit different!)
3 - Alphas - how do you usually use them? Rarely - Mostly I'm too lazy to get to work on all the layers it would involve
4 - Ribbons: straight or curly? Curly!
5 - Buttons/flairs: yes or no? Buttons... Maybe. Flairs, not so much.
6 - Paper pieces? If done right, yes! (distressed, a little shabby)
7 - Patterned or solids papers? Solids, or very small discrete pattern for backgrounds. I find it too busy when the whole background is patterned. bits of patterned paper I'm all for, though!
8 - Multi photos or just one per page? Usually one, or one big one with one or 2 other small ones
9 - Big word arts or small word strips? I try to scrap in French as much as possible, so as much as I absolutely love the look of big word arts, I rarely use them. I would LOVE if designers mentioned what fonts they use so I could match them. I find when I use the english word art then use other fonts, it starts to look messy and mismatched.
10 - Do you use brushes? I love the look, but am still practicing to get it "right" on my layouts
11 - And doodles? Yes
12 - Photo treatment: photoshop or lightroom? Lightroom. Unless I'm feeling lazy and then it's basic photo treatment in photoshop
13 - Templates: yes or no? If yes, Do you change them? If the mood strikes me, to both questions
14 - Label or tag? Or both? I swing both ways!
15 - Where you go to look for inspiration? SSD gallery
16 - Something you always think you should do to your pages and always forget: I'm a kit scrapper at heart but my favourite layouts are often the ones when I went and "shopped" in my stash for additional elements that work with the current kit
17 - Favorite theme for kits? I've had to rethink how I shop... I used to be all about the girly girl kits, and then I went and had a boy!
18 - Complete the sentence: Sweet Shoppe + sleeping babies = happiness
19 - How do you follow your favorite designers? I'd love to have time to brows a few different platforms but between 2 little kids and a very busy worklife, if it's not here in the SSD forum, I'll never know
