Tell us a little bit about yourself? I’m a mom, partner, nana, sister, aunt all the usual things. I work full time as an accountant at a commercial bakery. I live in southern CA and am totally spoiled by our weather.
What is the story with your username? I am originally from Chicago, I grew up close enough to Wrigley field to hear the crowd cheering, so chigirl just seemed right.
When did you begin digiscrapping? Well, I had to go check in my gallery, the oldest LO is dated Feb 2008. I actually started scrapping at Scrap Matters on NSD.
Where do you find inspiration? I love doing challenges, they seem to give me a push in a creative direction. Leaving some love in the galleries also is an inspiration, there are so many talented scrappers it’s difficult not to be inspired.
What is the one design tool you couldn’t do without? Templates definately! I can’t do without them and I am lucky enough to CT for some great designers that offer fabulous templates.
What is your favorite element to use? Strings and ribbons.
What/Who is the subject you scrap about most often? My dgc, Alex and Zach, are my favorite subjects. But I’ve also been scrapping for a friend at work, doing an album for her family.
What’s your favorite color? Blue always has been my fav, but I scrap with lots of different colors.
Is that also your favorite color to scrap with? I do love to scrap with primary colors, they are so bright and cheerful.
Where do you scrap? At my desk in my home office.
Do you listen to music when you scrap? Sometimes, I listen to music, but I am a huge fan of books on CDs, I can listen to 3-4 books a week. I get to do 2 favorite hobbies at the same time.
What kind of music do you listen to while you scrap? If I do listen to music, George Strait would be my first choice, but I also listen to Michael Buble’ or some jazz.
Do you snack while you scrap? No, I don’t usually eat when I scrap, but I always have a diet Coke close at hand.
Besides digi scrapping what are your other hobbies? I love to read, I make a trip, sometimes two, to the library every week.
