Why did you start scrapbooking and how did you get started?

I have always loved to take pictures and I especially love taking pictures of my daughter.  I thought she might like to see this when she grew up.  And I thought it would be an excellent idea if I could create a cute album with her pictures.  So I took a look at the Web, and found scrapbooking.

What are three products you can’t live without?
Washi tape, twine, sewing maching, black and white pen, and copic spray.   I can’t decide on only three because all of these are important to me!
What is your favorite color combination
I love yellow and white/ pink and grey

What/who inspires you?

I am inspired by Pinterest.  I check it several times in a day.  And I am inspired by my daughters pictures because it is color gun, and design is unique.  I’m always amazed by her.

What is your favorite thing about scrapbooking?

I like to sew with the sewing mating on my layout.  This is an easy way to add accent to the layout.   Current favorite technique is to write dot-line and polka dot with black or white pen.
