1. How would you describe yourself? I am quiet when you first meet me then I just talk and talk and talk LOL,I love to laugh and make other people laugh,I am caring and a bit of a perfectionist.

2. How did you discover scrapbooking? I discovered scrapbooking through my sister when she had a CM party but I didn't really get seriously into it until Allan I got married in 2006 and the wedding album spurred me on to have another go!

3. Why do you scrapbook? I think for me I scrap because I love taking photo's and have always loved art so it blends two of my favourite things into one.I remember seeing a box full of old photo's my Grandmother has and she can't remember who alot of the people are and I didn't want my photo's to end up in a box with no-one remembering who the people are or where the were taken.

4. How would you describe your style? I don't think I really have a style, I like experimenting with my layouts and just seeing what happens.

5. How long have you been scrapping for? I first discovered scrapping about 5 years ago but only really started properly about 18 months ago.

6. What is your favourite scrapping technique? My favourite scrapping technique is what I call faffing, which means to take a piece of patterned paper and cut out the patterns (eg. paisley,flowers,stars etc) then adding them to my LO as a 3D embellishment.

7. If you could chose only one brand of scrapbooking products, what would you chose? Gee's only one...well at the moment I am using alot of the new Kaiser products, I really like the new patterned papers they have brought out and their new rub-ons and how could I forget I love the new Kaiser flowers!

8. Who do you look at for inspiration in the scrapping world? I think I get alot of inspiration from all different scrappers rather than anyone in particular.

9. Where do you get most of your inspiration from in order to scrap? For me my inspiration comes from the photo's themselves I usually work from the colours in them and go from there.

10. If you aren't busy scrapping, what else do you love to do that relaxes you? If I'm not scrapping I'm taking photo's, reading or making bears.
