1. How long have you been scrapping?

I first started experimenting in 2005, and rediscovered (and got addicted) early this year.


2. What software do you use?

I use Photoshop CS3


3. Describe your scrapping style or work space?

My style changes depending on my mood. I love ribbons, and also a little touch of grunge manages to sneak in a lot.

4. What are your scrap goals?

To catch up! I have way too many photos and not enough time. Plus, I have a heap of old photos that I would like to scan in one day.


5. Tell us about yourself....

I’m 30 years old, and live in Australia with my husband and two children. My son is 6 years old and my daughter 2, and they’re both a constant inspiration for my designs. I’ve always been involved in computers in some way during my professional life, and have been a freelance web designer for the past six years. Digiscrap designing has become a passion of mine, and a wonderful way to relax and just have some fun with photoshop, after designing for clients all day.


6. If you could meet 1 other digital designer, who would it be?

Oh, how do I decide! I would love to meet Brandy (Mega Doodle Inspired) and Pillowgirl, who have both been wonderful with advice and motivation. There are others too, I’ve made some great friends along the way.


7. What's your favorite product that you have designed and why?

It would have to be ‘That’s What Boys are Made of’. My son (who is not so little any more) is an absolute character, and I can always rely on him for giggles. The kit was made in his honor, and is full of his favourite things.


8. Tip for scrappers or Designers.

Don’t be afraid to try something new, and experiment. The beauty of digital is that you can always start again. I have ended up with some great creations just by saying ‘I wonder what this would look like …’

1. How long have you been scrapping?
Since late May or early June. Not very long, I'm happy with how far I've gotten in that amount of time.

2. What software do you use?
I use Photoshop CS2 and occasionally PSP

3. Describe your scrapping style or work space?
My work space.. lol it's messy. I usually work from my computer in my room and I'm probably the messiest person ever. My room and desk are messy but I know where everything is. I never know where everything is if my room is clean. I keep telling my mom that when she tells me to clean my room but she doesn't get it lol. My scrapping style.. I'm not sure I really have one but with my latest kit I tried to get it more realistic. And I guess from now on I'll be going for that, I love the realistic look.

4. What are your scrap goals?
To keep improving and get to where I want to be as a designer. I have some favorite designers that always have that realistic look that I love, I'd love to be able to do what they do.

5. Tell us about yourself....
Well, my name is Shilo. It's pronounced Shy-low. I tell people my name and everyone says like that dog?! I'm 17 and I live in Indianapolis, Indiana. I plan on going to culinary school at the Art Institute of Indianapolis within the next year and hopefully becoming a chef. I haven't decided between culinary or baking and pastry yet but if I go with baking and pastry then I hope to eventually have my own bakery.

6. If you could meet 1 other digital designer, who would it be?
This is a tough one for me because there's 3 people that come to mind: Leaonna from Busy Scrappin, Kathy from Carolina Girls, and Jen from Jen Smith Designs. I think it'd be hard to choose just one. They've all been so nice to me and talked to me and helped me with things outside of scrapping. I'd love to meet all of them.

7. What's your favorite product that you have designed and why?
Probably my "Every Girl is a Princess" kit that I'm about to put into my stores today. I like it because it's the closest I've gotten to the realistic look I want. I'm not fully there yet but almost. I also love it because alot of the elements are unique and were made completely by me and I haven't seen anything like them before.

And here is a wonderful freebie from Shilo!

1. How long have you been scrapping?
I have been scrapping since my son was born 2 and a half years ago. Digiscrapping, I've only been doing it for about a year and designing for about 6 months.

2. What software do you use?
I currently use Photoshop CS2

3. Describe your scrapping style or work space?
My workspace is very hectic! lol Sometimes when things are slow at work I will design a couple things but when I get home I design some more. So my stuff is everywhere. My scrapping style is very different, I don't think I have a set style I just do whatever I feel that day.

4. What are your scrap goals?
My scrap goals... ummmm... lol. I think it would be to set more time aside to design. Right now at the moment its a little hard because my son needs a lot of attention right now, I am pregnant with my second child, so I really want to give him the attention so when the baby comes he doesn't get jealous. So that is my primary goal, my second would be to scrap more pictures, I have tons and no pages lol.

5. Tell us about yourself....
Well... what can I say? My name is Czianya pronounced Si-AN-ja! I am 21 years old, I have been married to the love of my life for 4 wonderful years. I am a working full time mom to a very Active 2 year old boy and one more on the way. IRL I am a graphic designer and conference planner.

6. If you could meet 1 other digital designer, who would it be?
That's easy, lol. Michelle Herron! Shes an awesome person and a great designer to work with.

7. What's your favorite product that you have designed and why?
My favorite has been The To Infinity... & And Beyond kits. I love the colors and all the stuff that Michelle and I created. I've done sooo many things with those 2 kits already and I still have more project in mind. Its a very versatile product.

And here's a freebie from Cziany!! Make sure you leave her some love!

Designer Spotlight & a Quick Page Freebie!

Designer: Sherrie Smith (RCMama Designs)

Blog URL: http://rcmama.blogspot.com/


1. How long have you been scrapping?
I have been scrapping for about 11 years. A year and a half ago I discovered digital scrapbooking and I have not really gone back to paper since. I started designing in October of 2007, when I made a paper pack for a color challenge. I love designing because it gives me an outlet for my creativity without making a big mess in my house.

2. What software do you use?
I use the Gimp and Inkscape.

3. Describe your work space?
My desk is set up in my diningroom, from which I can see my livingroom and part of the back yard. I usually can see my kids while I am at my desk, which is great. My two-year-old is Trouble with a capital T, so if I cannot see him, I had better run and get him! I have a 22 inch flat panel, a wireless keyboard and mouse, and a 750 GB external hard drive. My only wish now (apart from a killer laptop) is for more ram. 2 GB is not enough for me; I want my computer smokin'!

4. What are your scrap goals?
I want to make pretty LOs for my family to enjoy, both now and in 50 years. I love looking through old albums of myself and my family, and having the journaling would just make it so much better. I want my grandchildren to know who I am and who the others are that helped shape them into the people that they will be.

5. Tell us about yourself...
I am a 33-year-old mother of three and wife to a great guy named Ed. Our kids are 6, 4, and 2. I stay at home with the kids and homeschool the older two (during the school year, that is). I live in a town near Pittsburgh, PA. Faith and family are a big part of my life.

6. If you could meet 1 other digital designer, who would it be?
I would love to meet Kim Broedelet in person. Since she lives in South Africa, though, that is not likely to happen. Boo hoo! A more realistic wish would be to meet our very own Brandy a.k.a. MegaDoodle. She and I were on the Element Team here at SFS together and now we have "graduated" to being designers.

7. What's your favorite product that you have designed and why?
I think that my favorite product so far is Let Freedom Ring. My style really evolved during the creation of that kit and I am so proud of it.

And don't forget the freebie! Sherrie has a Quick Page from her newest kit, Let Freedom Ring. It was made my Nani, one of her CT Members.
