Hello friends! I’m here this morning to bring you part two of Inside the Designer Studio for this month. Earlier in the month we met the designers<\/a>, May of Siamese Studios, Jennifer of Luv Ewe Designs and Amy of Unforgettable Moments. \u00a0I put to you, our fabulous community, to ask the designers anything you wanted to know and this is what you’ve come up with:<\/p>\n

First, as I sip my breakfast tea, coffee or tea?<\/strong><\/p>\n

May<\/strong>:\u00a0Both! Normally one coffee to start the day, then hot or iced tea during the day, but sometimes I love to have iced coffee as well.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jennifer<\/strong>:\u00a0Neither…Dr. Pepper!<\/em><\/p>\n

Amy<\/strong>:\u00a0I really do like both, but I drink coffee every\u00a0morning. I enjoy fruity\/floral herbal teas and\u00a0black tea with cream. I like going to coffee shops\u00a0with friends also (hence my Coffee Shop With Friends kit LOL).<\/em><\/p>\n

Jennifer and Amy, how long have you been with us at GingerScraps?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jennifer<\/strong>: October of last year (2011)<\/em><\/p>\n

Amy<\/strong>:\u00a0I started as a designer at GS 1 year and 9 months\u00a0ago. However I first started hanging around GS when\u00a0I registered for Scraping Survivor2 in 2010. I\u00a0played survivor and learned what a fun, friendly\u00a0place GS is! I did get 4th place in the contest that\u00a0year which I was excited about- I couldn’t beat that\u00a0talented Rachel (Pretty In Green) LOL.<\/em><\/p>\n

May<\/strong>,\u00a0Where are you originally from and how did you find yourself in Thailand?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I am originally from Thailand as I was born here, but our family moved to Singapore, and Malta for several years, then moved back to Thailand since 30 something years ago (no, no, don’t ask how old I am, LOL).<\/em><\/p>\n

Wouldn’t dream of it! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Jennifer<\/strong>, since you mentioned never wanting to be called Jenny<\/a>, now we’ve got to ask why<\/strong>. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

LOL! It just sounds kiddish to me. A very few call me that like my sister and brother and I don’t even know where it came from but they call me that.<\/em><\/p>\n

Amy<\/strong>, what do you love most about OR?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oregon is a really fantastic place. I can drive two\u00a0hours west and be at the ocean, Visiting the desert\u00a0of Eastern Oregon is a day trip also! Mt. Hood is\u00a0just a short drive away, and not to mention Portland\u00a0which is a decent sized big city. My favorite is the\u00a0big evergreen trees. I also love visiting the river\u00a0beaches. There are so many recreational\u00a0opportunities here. There is also no state tax, and\u00a0a lot of out of state people love buying things here\u00a0because of that. We do have higher property taxes\u00a0for home owners to make up for that though. Oregon\u00a0is beautiful, but it does rain a lot which doesn’t\u00a0bother me at all though.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

That sounds like a dream!<\/p>\n

With summer in full swing, what are your favorite warm weather activities<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

May:\u00a0Swimming!!! Our warm weather is normally VERY HOT, so swimming helps a lot.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jennifer:\u00a0\u00a0Swimming, but prefer swimming indoors than outdoors.<\/em><\/p>\n

Amy:\u00a0I really love taking camping trips with my family.\u00a0We aren’t really “roughing” it kind of campers, but\u00a0we love being outside, roasting things on the\u00a0campfire, and playing in nature.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fun!<\/p>\n

Now let’s talk designing! \u00a0What do you enjoy most about designing scrap kits?<\/strong><\/p>\n

May:<\/strong>\u00a0I love it most when the final result is just like what I’ve vision about the kit. Then I love when seeing layouts made from my kits. It’s amazing to see all different layouts from just one kit.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jennifer:\u00a0<\/strong>Just being creative. I can let off steam while creating.<\/em><\/p>\n

Amy:\u00a0<\/strong>OH! I love so many things about designing. I love\u00a0<\/em>designing scrap kits AND templates. Love it! I\u00a0<\/em>really love the creative process and watching my\u00a0<\/em>ideas go from idea to product. I really love seeing\u00a0<\/em>my designs on a scrappers layout!<\/em><\/p>\n

What is one element you feel you must always include into a kit?<\/strong><\/p>\n

May<\/strong>:\u00a0Foliage! I love to see some green in my kit.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jennifer<\/strong>: Buttons and string.<\/em><\/p>\n

Amy<\/strong>: \u00a0I would say fasteners. I know that is kind of\u00a0generic huh? I’m having a hard time narrowing my\u00a0answer down to just one element LOL.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0What is your most favorite kit you’ve designed and your best selling?<\/strong><\/p>\n

May<\/strong>:\u00a0My most favorite kit is usually the latest kit(s) that I’ve designed. For now it would be Cotton Candy and Lemon Drops. My bestselling would have to be\u00a0Bumble Rumble.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jennifer<\/strong>:\u00a0I think it was Miracles Happen. I just really like the color palette and felt it all fell together! My best selling would be In A Boys World.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Amy<\/strong>:\u00a0I really like the kit I made for the June FWP grab\u00a0bag. I had my hubby in mind when I made that one. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0Honey Love\u00a0is my best selling kit, and Something Sweet<\/a> is my best selling template pack.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From a personal opinion of someone who owns this kit, it’s absolutely awesome! I think it’s my favorite of yours!\u00a0It’s FREE with a $10 purchase in the GingerScraps store (for the month of June, so you’ve got 7 days left!)!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Those are some GREAT kits!<\/p>\n

Just for fun let’s end with what your favorite foods<\/strong> are!<\/p>\n

May<\/strong>:\u00a0All sorts of pasta, but my favorite would be Cabonara. I make yummy Cabonara too! \ud83d\ude09<\/em><\/p>\n

Jennifer<\/strong>:\u00a0Oh my too many to name! I love mexican, anything cheesy (the cheesier the better), oh and home made potato soup. I can make myself sick from eating too much of that LOL.<\/em><\/p>\n

Amy<\/strong>:\u00a0My favorite “meal” is probably taco salad. We have\u00a0this a lot in our home. We try to think of new and\u00a0fun ways to make it lol. My kids love it because we\u00a0let them crunch up tortilla chips on the top. My\u00a0favorite bad-for-you food is ice cream.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now I’m hungry, and I JUST ate breakfast (especially since I, too, am a giant pasta fan!).<\/p>\n

A HUGE thank you to the designers for taking time out of their family and designing time to answer these questions! There were so many more I wish I could keep sharing but we don’t want to be here all day, we’ve got scrappin’ to do. \ud83d\ude09 \u00a0I always have fun finding out these little tidbits about people.<\/p>\n

Until next month!<\/p>\n

Have a scrap happy weekend!<\/p>\n
