Today I´m going to introduce Kat´s newest CT member Kristi aka Kristi8004 a bit more.. So sit back, relax and enjoy getting to know her better :).

What is your name/ username?
My name is Kristi better know around digiland as Kristi8004

What part of the world you live in?
I live in the same country/state I was born and raised in! Michigan-USA!

Are you married or single, have children?
Married to my best friend and soul mate and together we have a blended family totaling 6 children. (3 girls & 3 boys)

How long have you been digi scrapping?
Started digi in February 2007 so that's 4 years now..wow time flies when you're having fun!

How did you start and did you ever paper scrap?
I was a paper scrapper since I was in junior or senior high. I go online to search for some online shops to buy paper supplies from when I found out about digi scrapping. I tried it, loved it and never looked back!

What program do you use to scrap?
I started out with PSP 9 - upgraded to PSP X2 and Now I use PSE 7 (came with my pen tablet that I never use,LOL) and now thinking of going to PSCS5!

What is your style of scrapping if any?
Hmm, I'd have to say it depends on if I'm using a template or not ;) I love to use lots of papers and layer those and I LOVE to cluster!!

What inspires you, is it a photo, a kit, an idea?
Sometimes I see a kit and just KNOW what photo I'm going to use and sometimes I see a photo and go searching for a kit that would be perfect. And Sometimes, I see a kit I just HAVE to have and in which case if I don't have a photo-I'll get out the 'ol camera and get one!

What is your favorite item that you always like to use – a certain type of paper, element, action
I'm a total Sucker for stitching!!! And I love plaid papers and flowers too.

Out of all of Kat’s kits, which is your favorite and why?
So far my favorite is Whimsy Spring because I LOVE LOVE the textures and the colors are gorgeous-I also fell in love with the adorable owls!

Which is your favorite layout using Kat’s kits?

They say a pet often looks like its owner, do you own a pet and does it look like anyone you know?
We just got a new puppy a 4 month old pure bred Pit bull named Atreyu but no he doesn't look like any of us, LOL.

What’s your eating preference junk food , restaurants, eat in - tell us your favorite
I like it all bwahahahahaaaa, seriously though my DH and I love to try new things together so we often get cookbooks and prepare/cook meals at home but when we do go out we love to go to Johnny Carino's-our favorite country Italian restaurant.

Are you a movie buff, if so what movie(S) do ya like?
I am a HUGE movie buff!! I LOVE musicals like Grease and Phantom of the Opera and I LOVE romantic comedies like America's Sweethearts and The Breakup.

Everyone loves a holiday so if you could travel anywhere, what would be your favorite holiday destination?
Oh my DH and I have never had a honeymoon and are planning on having ours when the kids are older and out of the house at Lake Tahoe in the USA and outside of the USA I'd LOVE to visit the Islands of Fiji someday...they just look gorgeous and relaxing!

Do you have a funny or favorite quote or word you love or use all the time?
I love quotes but don't have one I use everyday. But the word I use ALL the time is Right! like when someone says something that I totally agree with I'll say "Right" but it's kind of drawn out like "RrrrIIiiiiiGGgghhhhT"! I'm a goofy goober I know LOL.

Meeting Rachnmaddie

2011-05-15T22:29:00.000+02:00

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all having a nice Sunday.. It´s been raining cats and dogs over here so between the house cleaning and ironing I decided I´d like to introduce you another member of Kat´s fabulous team.. It´s no other than Rachel aka rachnmaddie! Enjoy :)

What is your name/ username?

Rachel, Rach, Rachie, Rachifer, Ray Ray. I am rachnmaddie at SO

What part of the world you live in?

Pittsburgh, PA

Are you married or single, have children?

Married for 11 years to Mike and we have two chicklettes: Maddie (6) and Lauren (3)

How long have you been digi scrapping?

I started digi-scrapping right after my oldest was born. I never paper scrapped, but my sister did. She made my daughters first album, and I wanted to continue it, but I didn't have the space to house the supplies. I found digi and never looked back!

How did you start and did you ever paper scrap?

See above :)

What program do you use to scrap?

I use PS CS4

What is your style of scrapping if any?

I am not sure I really have a style. I like trying different things, but I know I am not good at the fantasy/eclectic style at all. I love the artistic value of those layouts though!

What inspires you, is it a photo, a kit, an idea?

Both. Sometimes I see a kit and know immediately what photo goes with it, or sometimes I see a photo and seek out a kit!

What is your favorite item that you always like to use – a certain type of paper, element, action.

I love stitching for some reason, and those new embellished overlays with glitter, scribbles and so-on.

Out of all of Kat’s kits, which is your favorite and why?

Oh, that's easy, Happy Days!

Which is your favorite layout using Kat’s kits?

I have a few but here's one

They say a pet often looks like its owner, do you own a pet and does it look like anyone you know?

I have no pet right now, because our little house is too teeny!

What’s your eating preference junk food , restaurants, eat in - tell us your favorite.

Oh I wish I could lie and say I am not a carb-a-holic, but it's true. I love breads and pastas! My favorite though is a Chinese restaurant downtown in Pittsburgh!

Are you a movie buff, if so what movie(S) do ya like?

I love horror flicks. My favorite would be Poltergeist or Silence of the Lambs.

Everyone loves a holiday so if you could travel anywhere, what would be your favorite holiday destination?

I am dying to visit New Zealand! I would love to be adventurous there one day!

Do you have a funny or favorite quote or word you love or use all the time?

I use the word 'yo' alot. Like 'what's going on, yo?' I also make up words and use them in common situations with other people. Like spinach-artichoke dip is called spiniticus and I will really walk into a restaurant and order it thinking the person knows what I am talking about.
