What is your name and your Digi-scrap blog address?<\/span>
Miss Erin’s Scraps (https:\/\/misserinsscraps.blogspot.com)<\/p>\n

Tell us a little bit about your family.<\/span>
I have 2 kids. Samara is soon to be 6 and Maddox soon to be 2. Their birthdays are only 3 days apart! I am also engaged to my fiance, TJ and we have been together all in all about 6 years. We love to do stuff outside together and go to the drive in movies in the summer.<\/p>\n

What other hobbies do you have besides designing and scrapping?<\/span>
What hobbies? J\/K! I like photography a lot and have been learning how to shoot in different and interesting ways-or I hope anyways! And I love to read as well. The last book I read was The Host by Stephanie Meyer, who also wrote the Twilight series. And yes, I read all of them too! I’m also a sucker for the Harry Potter books, which I’ve read multiple times!<\/p>\n

How did you get started designing and scrapping?<\/span>
I just thought it was cool and I wanted to know how it was done just for the sake of knowing. I flipped on the scanner and started scanning things I found in my daughter’s room. I didn’t know anything about blending modes or layer styles! I colorized a blanket and thought that would be my paper. Little did I know!<\/p>\n

How long have you been designing?<\/span>
Sometime around the middle of 2008<\/p>\n

Which programs do you use to design?<\/span>
Adobe Photshop CS4 and ArtRage<\/p>\n

Do you draw most of your items with a mouse, hand draw and scan, or do you use your camera?<\/span>
I use my camera A LOT and I have been trying to do some more hand drawing. My mouse and I are good friends : )<\/p>\n

Where does your inspiration usually come from?<\/span>
I’m not sure. I just think up stuff I guess! I like to daydream a lot, and I do my best thinking in the bathtub.<\/p>\n

How did you pick your design name?<\/span>
I wish I would have picked something more clever! But everywhere I go, I somehow always end up getting called Miss Erin. So I figured why not?<\/p>\n

Who are your favorite three designers?<\/span>
Mimilou Designs, Chrisscrap, and Melancolie, all designers at my fav store, Scrapmalin. Well ok, 2nd fav next to Gingerscraps!<\/p>\n

What is your favorite part of a kit to design?<\/span>
Papers<\/p>\n

What is the weirdest thing you have used as a texture?<\/span>
Hmmm, an old wore out sheet pan!<\/p>\n

What is your favorite kit that you have designed?<\/span>
I really like this free kit called Wonderland that I did for free, it’s on my blog HERE.<\/a>
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What is your least favorite?<\/span>
Everyone else seems to like it a lot, but Remember the Best Dreams is so NOT my fav!<\/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?<\/span>
An idea for a theme, then the colors and ideas for elements come next. I make a list!<\/p>\n

How long does it typically take you to make a kit?<\/span>
Depends on how inspired I get or how much time I have. Anywhere from a couple days to a few weeks. And I have a whole folder of unfinished kits!<\/p>\n

If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?<\/span>
I wish I didn’t talk so much, but I just can’t help myself! I am cursed with word vomit!<\/p>\n

What is the one word that best describes you?<\/span>
Free spirited-ok that’s two words, but I couldn’t think of a one word equivalent.<\/p>\n

Who is the most important person in your life?<\/span>
2 people-my kids<\/p>\n

What is something that not many people know about you?<\/span>
That despite my social butterfly-ness, I really do like to be alone sometimes. I was always a loner when I was a kid. My brother is 7 years younger than me so we didn’t have too much in common. I spent many hours in my room creating elaborate Barbie houses out of cardboard boxes!<\/p>\n

If you could travel anywhere where would you go?<\/span>
Ireland, I think it would be pretty there and it has a great history.<\/p>\n

When you were little what did you dream of being when you grew up?<\/span>
A singing superstar!<\/p>\n

What do you like doing with your family?<\/span>
Playing softball, going on nature hikes, drive in movies, camping, fishing…well anything outdoors anyways.<\/p>\n

Where is your favorite place to be?<\/span>
There is a state park not far from where I live. You walk a mile long trail to get to the big waterfalls. I love going there, it never gets old.<\/p>\n

Edward or Jacob?<\/span>
EDWARD!<\/p>\n

CU or do it your self?<\/span>
Both : )<\/p>\n

Erin is giving you a new kit for FREE, B. True….
