Scrapcrazy Creations with Robyn<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The second half of the year has begun. Anybody a little alarmed at how fast time’s flying, other than me?<\/p>\n

I had the chance to chat with Robyn<\/strong><\/span>, Scrapcrazy Creations<\/strong><\/span><\/a>‘ creative arm. As usual, we started off with the mundane stuff… How long have you been designing?<\/p>\n

R: This year I will have been designing for 6 years.<\/p>\n

J: That’s a good long time. What made you decide to try your hand at it?<\/p>\n

R: I was on 25 Creative Teams and decided that I would give designing a try.<\/p>\n

J: Whoa!!! 25?! I had enough trouble with two. I can’t even imagine. What are your go-to tools for designing?<\/p>\n

R: I use PSE11<\/strong> (Photoshop Elements 11<\/strong>) to create and PSCC<\/strong> (Photoshop Creative Cloud<\/strong>) to quality check my designs.<\/p>\n

J: I’d find that confusing, moving back and forth from two different platforms. Kudos! Where do you do your creating?<\/p>\n

R: My design space is anywhere I can sit with my laptop. A comfy arm chair, desk and sometimes the beach.<\/p>\n

J: That sounds sublime. I work in front of our floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the mountains. Or like today, the clouds. Do you have anyone or anything that provides you with inspiration?<\/p>\n

R: My children and their activities and photos that need scrapping inspire me to design.<\/p>\n

J: I hear that a lot. \ud83d\ude09 Now, do you have a favourite kit in the GingerScraps<\/strong><\/span> store? What makes it your favourite?<\/p>\n

R: I have many favourite kits but my current favourite is Flamingo Road<\/strong><\/a><\/span> because of the pretty pinks and I made some of the papers myself from scratch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

J: Ooh, paper-making sounds like a lot of fun! Is pink your preference? What colours do you prefer? Are there any you don’t love?<\/p>\n

R: My favourite colour is purple and my least favourite colour is yellow. Give me anything purple and I am happy. Purple speaks to my soul. I love wearing purple tops, dresses and scarves. I also like receiving cut flowers and planting purple flowers like irises, roses, salvia, clematis, lavender and wisteria.<\/p>\n

I do NOT wear yellow. As a child if I was given anything yellow I would pull a face and find it hard to say thank-you as I hate the colour yellow. As an adult I find that I do wear mustard but not bright yellow.<\/p>\n

J: Same!! My garden is full of purples, blues and some pink and white. I didn’t plant the yellow Stella d’Oro daylilies, the developer did. [shudder] As for wearing yellow… gross. Working in an ICU, I wore a lot of isolation gowns. Guess what colour they are. So, before I completely ruin our appetites, if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?<\/p>\n

R: Roast lamb with roast pumpkin, sweet potato and onion and homemade lemon meringue pie.<\/p>\n

J: You lost me with the lamb. I worked briefly in a nursing home kitchen. Pureed lamb smells so awful there’s no chance I’m putting lamb anything in my mouth. But the rest sounds scrumptious. Maybe I could substitute a nice prime rib? Aside from necessities, what one thing could you not exist without?<\/p>\n

R: My Moconna<\/strong> freeze-dried coffee.<\/p>\n

J: Hmm. I’ve never heard of that. Lemme look it up real quick. BRB… Ooh that’s quite the assortment of flavours! I’ve never developed a taste for instant coffee; I’ll stick to my Tim Hortons<\/strong> with a bit of Splenda<\/strong>. If you came with a warning label, what would it say?<\/p>\n

R: BEWARE! Bites before morning coffee!<\/p>\n

J: Got it! Well, thanks for chatting with me today. GingerScrappers<\/span><\/strong>, remember that Robyn<\/strong><\/span> is also hosting this month’s Daily Download<\/strong><\/span> (and the kit is awesome, y’all!) in addition to the Designer Spotlight Challenge<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. And… drumroll please… she has a coupon code for 30% off for almost everything in her store for the month of July.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have laundry to fold! See you all again on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
