Once I switched to digital scrapbooking vs. paper, I wanted to make kits for themes that I couldn&#8217;t find out there already.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What do you use to create your designs (program, additional tools, etc.)?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I use Photoshop CC to design. I have also used Paint Shop Pro. And I take some of my own photos for silhouettes and extractions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Describe your design workplace.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>My office is my NERD ROOM! I have over 200 Funko Pops on shelves making a perimeter of the room. I also have other shelves of Buffy and Harry Potter figures and props. Plus, my main organization involves Post-It Notes&#8230; so there is a wall of assorted ones right in front of me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What motivates and inspires you as a designer?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I like to make kits that look like they were created with paper or real materials, even though they are digital.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What is your favorite kit currently in your GS store and why?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ha! I like Big Stinker! Surely, there is NO OTHER kit like this out there!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Big-Stinker-KIT-by-MagsGraphics.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/images\/P\/MGX_GS_bigstinker_kit.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What was your first job?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I started babysitting my neighbors when I was 9 years old.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Have you ever met anyone famous?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Several at the Cincinnati Comic Con: Henry Winkler, Ian Ziering, Chris Rankin (Percy from Harry Potter), Nicholas Brendan (Xander from Buffy), Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy from Harry Potter), and I went to school with Carmen Electra.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What are you reading right now?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m re-reading The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan &amp; Brandon Sanderson&#8230; one of my all-time favorites!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What is your favorite quote?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait, the less likely you are to find it at all.&#8221; &#8211; Dead Poet&#8217;s Society.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What is something you want to do in the next year that you\u2019ve never done before?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Indoor Skydiving<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You have your own late night talk show, who do you invite as your first guest?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Joss Whedon (Creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you had to delete all but 3 apps from your smartphone, which ones would you keep?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Waze, PokemonGo, iTrackBites<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you could have someone follow you around all the time, like a personal assistant, what would you have them do?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>COOK all of our meals!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Would you rather travel back in time to meet your ancestors or to the future to meet your descendants?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>That&#8217;s tough! I&#8217;m intrigued by both!
