Get to Know Andrea!
That sounds so weird to have to type my name, today you all are getting to know ME!! Many of you have “met” me over the last few weeks via emails to the shoppe and of course through the good ole blog here but today I’m going to let you all get to know me a little better! Now don’t run away just yet since you already know me because you know there are going to be goodies once you make it through this little read on me :) So take a minute, get to know me just a little bit better and try to avoid looking at my photo if at all possible (ugh, I hate pictures!).
*************************

AA: Where did you grow up? Where do you live now?
Me: I grew up here in a small town in VA and I’ve moved all over but ended up coming back to settle down or at least I hope I’m settled down about ten minutes from that same little town.
AA: What’s your sign?
Me: I’m a Pisces.
AA: What interested you in Digital Scrapbooking?
Me: I started out as a paper scrapper many years back to preserve memories for my children and then I met Jessica Bolton on a paper site and saw her digital pages and started playing around with it and was hooked from there on. I love that there’s no mess to clean up when I’m done and I have quickly discovered that undo is my friend.
AA: What’s your favorite food?
Me: Spaghetti!! I’m a pasta fanatic but trying to cut back, just way too many carbs in that food group.
AA: When did you start designing and how did you learn?
Me: I’ve played around with design stuff in the past but mainly simple little things and then a few months ago I started playing around some more and my interest has just peaked more and more ever since.
AA: Do you scrap? If so, can you link us to a gallery?
Me: Two months ago…I would have said yes I do…but sadly I haven’t scrapped a page in almost two months and that’s really sad to me. I love scrapping and hope to get back into it when I find my mojo again. You can find my layouts here.
AA: If you could only have three scrap items to use what would they be?
Me: Hmmm……..paper, ribbon and a flower I guess. I can recolor all of those to play with. I’m not sure how long I could scrap with just those three things before I was bored to tears though. I yearn for variety!
AA: How do you know Christina?
Me: I’ve been on her team for a while and now I’m kinda what you would call a personal assistant to her, LOL. I help her out around the shoppe and with this lovely blog of course.
AA: What are your two favorite products you have designed?
Me: I of course love my Awareness collab with Emily that we posted about this weekend and I love my Alpha bundle too, I think those alphas are really cool and can work with so many different themes!


AA: Tell us where we can find you and your great products in the future.
Me: I honestly have no clue right now. I heard something that totally suits my life last night on television….”If you want God to laugh tell him your plans for the future”. I would love to be designing somewhere but we’ll see what happens.

Thanks for stopping in and getting to know me a little better today! Of course I have some goodies for you, yay! First of all, that frame from my Awareness collab is all yours, just click the image below to pick it up:

and I also made a simple metal alpha for you as well :) This alpha would work great on just about any page you can dream up so I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks again for stopping in to get to know me better today and be sure to come back tomorrow to see who we have in the spotlight here on Authentic Artistry!
