WELCOME TO OUR FIRST BIRTHDAY - ICE CREAM ON THE BEACH BLOG HOP!!!
We are so excited and hope you can hop along with us! The hop will start today and end July 11th at Midnight Central Time. You will have until then to email your answers.
This is how it's going to work:
You need to make sure you visit each and every blog. In each of the DT member blog post, you will find a question and answer. Jot down the name of the DT member next to each of the questions below and email their names to Diana at danica4us@yahoo.com. We will have a drawing at the end of the hop for a prize! Here are the questions you are looking for....
- Do you like to scrapbook alone or with friends? I like to scrapbook better with friends! (Especially my sisters!)
- When and why did you start scrapping? I started scrapbooking in 2008 because I want to preserve my daughters memories as they grow.
- What's your favorite snack while you scrap? Chocolates any kind and an occasional beer.
- Do you like creating mini albums and if so how many do you have? Have not done one, but may give it a try.
- Your favorite cardstock color? White. I like that it is a "blank slate" and I can color it and decorate it any way I want to work with my pages.
- What size LO do you prefer or do you prefer cards? Prefer cards.
- Do you like to listen to music while you scrap, if so what kind? I would love to listen to music when I scrap, but alas I do my scrapping after my little ones go to bed, so I need to keep a ear open if they wake up, and my littlest ones always does, but if I could listen to music it would have to be a mix of rock, pop, and metal!!
- What do you enjoy scrapping the most? I have three perfect little models and I love scrapbooking LOs of them.
- What's the longest you've gone without scrapping? The longest I have been without scrapping is when we moved from Kansas to New Zealand. We flew here on June 1 (2010) and our container with all our belongings didn't arrive until July 7th (2010). Just over a month without scrapbooking!! It just about did me in. Now I scrapbook at least every other day, if not do something every day.
- What's your favorite adhesive? My go-to adhesive for scrapbooking is my Tombow mono adhesive.
- What is your favorite embellishment to use on your LO/Card/Project? Lately, it's been paper flowers, but overall I would have to say ribbon.
- How often do you purge your scrap stash? Once in 8 years.
- If you were stranded on a desert island what scrapbooking supplies would you need? PP, CS, scissors, ATG, some good pics, ink (spray and pads), and a black pen. I could do anything with just those supplies.
- What do you do when your mojo is gone to get back the scrapping mojo? Well when my mojo is gone I pick my scrapbook magazines and flip them until I find something that caught my eye. If that doesn't work I go to my statch of sketches and find one appealing and I start creating. Those two things bring the mojo back!
- When you complete a LO/Page, do you put it in an album immediately or do you pile it up for a later time? If the page protectors are not finished, I put the pages in the album immediately. Otherwise they accumulate.
- What do you have the most in your stash other than paper? Brads & eyelets.
- If you were to start scrapping with what you know now, what would be the first tool you would buy? Two tools that go perfectly together, a good craft knive and a healing pad.
Hint (If you copy and paste the questions and answers it will make it real easy to jot down the names of the 18 dt members.)
Here is what you can win by figuring out who answered those 18 questions and hopping along with us...
Blog Hop Prize
The kit includes 10 Little Yellow Bicycle papers along with several flowers, ribbons, brads, and so much more! Be sure to take notes and email your answer to Diana at danica4us@yahoo.com!
