<\/a> What\u2019s your name and digiscrap blog address? <\/strong>Ellie Lash https:\/\/ellielash.com\/blog<\/a><\/p>\nWhere do you sell?<\/strong> Scrapbookgraphics<\/p>\n Tell us a little about your family.<\/strong> My husband Chris and I have been married for almost 8 years. We have two-year-old twin boys, Adam and Luke.<\/p>\n What other hobbies do you have besides scrapping and designing? <\/strong>I love to read. I have to pull myself away from my books in order to make myself design most days. lol Between reading, designing, and taking care of my family, I don’t have much time for other hobbies. Someday I’d like to take up photography, though. <\/p>\n When did you start Digi-scrapping and who taught you?<\/strong> I actually started scrapping after I started designing. I just kind of learned by doing. I’m not an elaborate scrapper. Most of my layouts are simple, basic.<\/p>\n When did you start designing and how did you learn? <\/strong>I started designing the summer of 2007. I have a background skinning forums, so that was kind of my springboard. I took a class called Digital Design Fundamentals by Jen Maceyunas, which was helpful, but mostly I am self-taught. Which programs do you use to design? <\/strong>Mostly CorelDrawX4 and CS3, but I also occasionally use PSPX12 and ArtRage as well. Do you draw most of your items with a mouse, or hand draw and scan? <\/strong>Mostly I use a tablet. I have a Bamboo that I use to draw with. My mom is an artist and she sometimes sends me some of her things that I will scan in and use. How did you pick your companies name? <\/strong>I was incredibly original. lol I just used my name. <\/p>\n Who are your favorite three designers? <\/strong>Oooh, so hard to choose! Probably Lorie Davison, Mary Fran, and Irene Alexeeva are right there at the top!<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n What are your favorite parts of a kit to design? <\/strong>Definitely the elements. I sometimes struggle with papers and alphas, but I love creating elements, especially if I’m drawing them. What\u2019s your favorite kit that you’ve designed? <\/strong>My favorite kit is almost always whatever I’ve done most recently, so I’ll have to say Sugarville.<\/p>\n What’s your least favorite? <\/strong>I’ve retired all of my least favorites! lol<\/p>\n How do you get started on a kit? Palette first? Rough idea on what you want your papers or elements to look like? <\/strong>It depends. Often I start with a color palette, but sometimes I’ll start with a theme. Like for Aquamarine, I decided to do mermaids and everything else just followed. Sometimes my mom will write and say, “Hey, could you do a kit with this, this, and this in it?” and I’ll build around whatever she asks for. <\/p>\n How long does it typically take you to make a kit? <\/strong>It depends on how motivated I’m feeling. If I’m feeling really inspired I can finish a kit in a day. If not, well, it can be weeks before I come up with something I’m happy with.<\/p>\n If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be? <\/strong>I would be more confident. I lack confidence in every area of my life, including my designing, and I think it really holds me back from reaching my potential.<\/p>\n What is the one word that best describes you? <\/strong>Quiet<\/p>\n Who is the most important person in your life? <\/strong>I can’t choose just one! lol My husband and my boys are all equally important to me.<\/p>\n What is something that not many people know about you? <\/strong>I played basketball in high school.<\/p>\n If you could travel anywhere where would you go? <\/strong>Somewhere quiet, peaceful, not crowded.<\/p>\n When you were little what did you dream of being when you grew up? <\/strong>I always wanted to be a vet. I love animals.<\/p>\n What is your favorite food? <\/strong>Maki nori sushi<\/p>\n What do you like doing with your family? <\/strong>Pretty much anything as long as we’re together<\/p>\n Where is your favorite place to be? <\/strong>At home with my family<\/p>\n What are three things that are important to you? <\/strong>Family, health, and faith<\/p>\n Is there anything you would change about your life?<\/strong> lol Yes and no. I wouldn’t change anything big, but I do wish that I had made better choices health-wise. I wish I’d never let myself gain so much weight so that I have to struggle now to lose it!<\/p>\n What are you afraid of? <\/strong>Spiders, cockroaches, my children or husband getting hurt<\/p>\n Do you collect anything? <\/strong>Books and ladybugs! =)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Here are three of Ellie’s most recent kits. Aren’t they gorgeous? <\/p>\n We gave Ellie the Gingerscraps kit, Kayla’s Quilt<\/a>, to play with. (Psst! It’s great for family heritage photos too!) Hi it’s Jen again. Yes, I said that correctly. Today we are meeting Ellie Lash. Are you as excited as I am? I am very excited. Ellie is another designer whose stuff I just LOVE… so let’s find out more about her shall we?
