Welcome to CIS November Guest DT Member - Terri Holbrook

A big CISter Design Team welcome to Terri Holbrook who is joining us this month.

Jolene asked Terri to share a few things about herself with us --

-1.How would you describe yourself?

I would say I am a emotional person. By saying that I mean I lead with my heart rather then my head. I am a very loyal person to those close to me.

-2. How did you discover scrapbooking?

When I was getting wedding invitation quotes. I had seen scrapbooking around & loved how it made the photos look 'pretty' but I really wanted to do it for myself. Also my counsellor at the time suggested it as a means to deal with some stress issues.

-3. Why do you scrap?

For the creative outlet & to preserve my families history in a very aesthetically pleasing way.

-4. How would you describe your scrapping style?

Bitsa...bits of everything LOL Someone once described it as Punk Rocker/Grunge/Vintage all rolled together.

-5. How long have you been scrapping for?

2 years now...it only feels like yesterday I started this addiction oops means hobby.

-6. What is your favourite scrapping technique?

Inking/Sanding. I can not get enough of it.

-7. If you could only choose one brand of scrapping products, what would you choose?

If I could choose one brand of scrapping product it would have to be Basic Grey hands down. Their range is extensive & covers both boys & girls. The only things they lack are paints &/or inks...but with their pp you can do anything that you would with those anyway.

-8. Who do you look at for inspiration in the scrapping world?

My girlfriend Sarah Gladman definately. I am always in awe of her work. Other than that all the wonderful women I see on the forums..they are truely inspirational.

-9. Where do you get most of your inspiration from in order to scrap?

My kids! Without a doubt without them my scrapping would seem empty. Product is important in the process but without the subjects it would be pointless.

-10. If you aren’t busy scrapping, what else do you love to do that you find relaxes you? Reading!! I love books. Everyday I try to find 30 minutes to just sit & read. I enjoy music & movies just as much as scrapping. Usually I combine them together anyway lol.

Terri has set a fantastic challenge this month, which you can find here!
