Where do you live?
In the beautiful Tuscan hills of Italy.
How long have you been scrapbooking (either all sorts, or just digital,etc) and when did you start designing?
I started scrapping as a teenager with those mega old fashioned scrapbook kits from big box stores. From those beginnings, I’ve dabbled with many different styles in paper and digital. Now I would classify myself as hybrid, because I use all tools to create what I have in mind. I started designing when I realized that I could create my own products to use and things just grew from there.
What inspires you to create?
Inspiration comes from all facets of my life, from the colors in food to the patterns that I see in nature. When something catches my eye, I definitely take note of it in my journal and that helps to inspire me to create something out of it.
What’s your favorite thing about digital scrapbooking?
I love the flexibility in digital scrapbooking… you can have as many copies of an element as you want, you can send the finished layout to all your family across the globe… it’s really about taking advantage of the digital format.
What other hobbies do you enjoy?
I love taking walks with my Westie Vash in the countryside, trying new foods out in the town and snuggling up with a yummy warm drink and reading on my Kindle!
Favorite quote:
“Every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up”
– Pablo Picasso
Favorite food or treat:
I’m pretty much addicted to all the pasta dishes here in italy, but I also have a weakness for brownies!
Most inspiring or favorite movie or book:
I totally love the Harry Potter series – books and films. It’s all about keeping the child within us alive and letting our imaginations roam free!
Favorite Photoshop or digital scrapbook technique:
I love playing with typography for titles and journaling, so many possibilities!
Favorite flower:
Tulip
Describe your design style.
Clean graphic style with hints or touches of texture.
Morning person or night owl?
I had always been a night owl, but finding myself getting more and more used to waking up early and loving the crisp air of the morning.
