[lenasmommy]

Hi Everybody,

this week I picked a page by a newbie on the Designer Digitals Board. Her username is mugsbigsis
and it only took me two days to figure out why she picked that name - lol.

I love how she used Cassie's Technique from her Tutorial found here, the Sentiment of her page and her eye for Details
(did you see the little heart on the Tree with the word "mom" in it?)
Here is the page I am talking about: Goodbye for now

[ajfetzer]

Terrific choice! I love this layout. Congratulations! Wonderful Job

[mugsbigsis]

OMGosh! You made my night! :O) I feel like I know so many of you through your layouts. I'm having way to much fun with this new art form.

How long have you been digital scrapbooking?
I started in Oct 2007.

What size do you scrapbook the most?
I mostly scrap 12x12 but I'm making a Christmas book with 8.5x11 pages

What do you think your scrapping style is?
I consider myself very eclectic so I'm not sure if I have a style. I love trying new things. (I have a lot of different layouts in my favorites.)

What motivated you to begin scrapbooking in the first place?
I have made scrapbooks for my kids but stopped because I just couldn't make myself drag everything out again. I asked Cassie a question about how to do something for posters I was making for our local animal shelter. She told me how to do it with digi scrapping. I was so impressed with how it all worked that I was immediately hooked.

How has your style changed from when you first began scrapping?
I now sit at a computer to do it. :O) My style has changed in that I now manipulate pictures as much as anything else on the page.

Three all-time favorite designers?
Well, when I'm downloading all the products I buy (every Sunday and Thursday, thank you very much) I find that I have a lot from Katie Pertiet, Anna Aspnes and Pattie Knox. (Ooops, I mean Cassie Jones is my favorite).


Three all time fave Designer Digitals products,links please.
OMGosh I can only pick 3???? I seem to credit Anna Aspnes: Magnificent Page Set on a lot of my pages. I also love Katie Pertiet: Catch a Rainbow Paper Pack. And, honestly I just LOVE Cassie Jones: HTDT and LIAO tutorials. They are so easy to follow. I guess my favorite of those would be the Coloring Inside the Lines tutorial. I also love the ribbons and overlays, oh and the alphas and Pattie's felt elements and Kellie's Tortuga Templates, and. . . .and. . . (sorry)

What camera do you use?
I use a Canon 10D.

What software do you use to scrap?
I have PSE3 and am waiting for Santa to update that.

What is your favorite color?
Kermit Green

Do you listen to a music when you scrap?
Always! I have very eclectic taste there, too.

What is your favorite snacks while scrapping?
Hot Tamales

Who is your 3 digital scrapping buddy?
(I'm not sure what this means) I'm going to say Cassie Jones.

Where would your dream vacation?
New Zealand. We were suppose to go for our 20th Anniversary but decided that leaving 2 high schoolers and a middle schooler home might not be the best idea.

What do you want to do right now?
Check my spelling. And then comment on the Gallery layouts. (Are all newbies this obsessed?)

[Cassie Jones (1gr8muggle)]

. . . and can I just add that this was a fabulous pick, Dagmar.

I think the most unusual part of this thread, however, is how many times my name is mentioned in mugsbigsis's answers.

I have no IDEA who this woman is, but she seems to have some kind of stalker obsession with me.

huh.

oh, well. I'll take it where I can get it.

[mugsbigsis]

Oh, I forgot. . . My name is Kelly Middlebrooks and I am Cassie Jones' "big sis".

[Cassie Jones (1gr8muggle)]

OH! You're THAT lady.

Whew! What a relief.

[Myra]

ok cassie, i was beginning to think you lost your sweet personality. but then i read on.

welcome kelly! so great to have you here! your gallery is full of so many unique touches! this one is especially cool. but that doesn't surprise me one bit. i hope to see lots more of you here!

[kathie02]

Congratulations Kelly, you already know how much I loved that layout!!!

[readstoomuch]

Dagmar . . . this page of Kelly's is a definite great choice for LOTW!

And, Kelly . . . this page is just so cool . . . so very sweet and sentimental too. Love how you used Cassie's technique and the neat brushes too. I am enjoying all of your pages and am so happy that you have joined Cassie here at DD. It is great to get to know you!
