Hard to believe it&#8217;s a new year. With a new year (month) comes a new GingerScraps Featured Designer. This month we are talking to Natasha of Ponytails Designs.<\/p>\n<p>How did you get started in digital scrapbooking?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After my daughter was born I was looking for something quiet to do while baby napped. A friend had tried digital and I thought it was a cool idea. I gave it a try and was hooked.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What made you decide to design?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;ve always been a creative person and so I thought I&#8217;d give it a try. I love the whole process from planning to the actual design work itself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What do you use to create your designs (program, additional tools, etc.)?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I mainly use Photoshop CC. I&#8217;ve been trying to learn AI but am finding it really frustrating.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Describe your design workplace.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I have a small desk in the kitchen where I set up my laptop. From there I&#8217;m fairly central in the house and can keep an eye on my daughter, as well as be a part of whatever else is going on in the house.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What is your favorite thing about designing?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I love the creative process.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What is your favorite kit currently in your GS store and why?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>My favorite is probably <a href=\"https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Country-Girl-ponytails.html\" target=\"_blank\">Country Girl<\/a>. I designed that completely for myself. It reflects who I am and what my life is all about.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Country-Girl-ponytails.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/images\/P\/ponytails_CountryGirl_preview.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What&#8217;s your favorite holiday?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Summer holidays for sure. Does that count? lol<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What is your favorite family holiday tradition?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Our annual summer RV trip we take with friends. We take 2-3 weeks and explore new places and definitely new wineries!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you had a warning label, what would yours say?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Do not attempt to approach in the morning unless coffee has been consumed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Aside from necessities, what one thing could you not go a day without?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Coffee, for sure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>How would your friends describe you?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Friendly, warm, welcoming, and always smiling<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What would you prefer as a second home: Mountain cabin, beach house, or big city condo?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Beach house for sure. In my dream world I&#8217;d have a ranch next to a beach on Maui.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks Natasha!!<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to check out her <a href=\"https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Ponytails-Designs\/\">GS Store<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ponytailsdesigns\/\">Facebook page<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/ponytailsdesigns.com\/\">blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also make sure you are checking out the GS Blog every day to grab pieces of the special kit she is sharing with us this \u00a0month.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/gsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/dd.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"352\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/images\/Blog\/GS_footer_Stephanie.jpg\" width=\"575\" height=\"24\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy 2017.
