Sunday Spotlight

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Hello everyone! SassyPixie here to do this weeks Sunday Spotlight!!! This week we are spotlighting Wendy who is also known as kissncontrol. I was excited to get to know Wendy a little better. Here are the list of questions…

What is your main job/career? I am currently a housewife in between careers.  I’ve been studying for the Pharmacy Tech exam, after being in the health insurance industry for 14 years.
Are you married/kids/pets?
I have been married for almost 9 years to a wonderfully supportive man!  No kids yet, but we do have 2 crazy cats!
Where do you call home?
The wonderfully beautiful San Francisco Bay Area – California
What are your three favorite foods?
Tex-Mex (Man I miss it!!), Italian, Seafood
What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Vanilla Bean
Do you prefer salty or sweet snacks?
Both! :D
What is your favorite beverage?
Dr. Pepper
What is your least favorite food?
Greek food.  Maybe i’ve just not tried the right stuff :D
PC or Mac?
PC, Mac’s confuse me!
How long have you been digi-scrapping/How did you get into it?
For about 8 months.  I got into digi-scrapping by seeing all the freebies out there.  I figured with the free elements & paper out there i’d give it a go.  I was already pretty good with Photoshop.  After a couple of LO’s I was hooked!  The best compliment a Digi LO of mine can get is “WOW, I didn’t even realize it was digital until I read it!”
What are your hobbies besides digi-scrapping?
I love to paper scrap, although I havent done that in a long while.  I also love to take drives on the weekend.  Being in such a beautiful place (NorCal), there is Ocean to see, Grapevines, Mountains…it’s so different from one direction to the next, that I never get sick of seeing the scenery!
What is the most challenging part of scrapbooking for you?
Getting ideas and inspiration to do layouts.  When I lose my scrappy mojo – it’s hard for me to think creatively.
What would you like to learn to do (or do better) not related to scrapbooking ?
I would love to be able to buy an old ’60’s SS Camaro and learn to fix it up (with my hubby)!
What are your favorite movies/TV shows?
I love love love Sex & The City (The movie, and the series!!) :D   For TV Shows I love CSI,
Describe your “scrapping” environment.  Music?  TV in the background?  Drinks? Snacks?  Back room, in the middle of your house? 

I always have something on in the background.  It’s usually my “Friends” DVD’s :D   I am lucky enough to have a scrap-room.  It has all my paper supplies (which is A LOT!) and the computer.  I love my office/scrappy room!  As far as drinks or snacks – I usually have at least something to drink, and a handful of pretzels or sunflower seeds!
How would you describe your scrap style?
I have a very simple scrap style.  When I scrap, I like clean lines,  and usually only one photo or at max two.  I love it when I see LO’s with  loads of embellies and tons of pictures, it’s just when I try to do that  I feel like its  too much :D One of these days I’m gonna scrap-lift a wonderfully detailed LO!  One day.
Here are Wendy’s favorite layouts and why…

I’ve wanted for the longest time to do a “tribute” page to my Grandmother.  We were so close, and Ellie’s kit seem perfect for it!

I love this photo of me & my Godson, and the fact that the papers match what we’re wearing just tops it off!

I love my girls so much!  This is one of the few pictures I have of all of us together.  That coupled with Britt’s fun kit, makes this LO a fav of mine!

Looking through Wendy’s gallery I found a few favorites of my own…

I love the white background with the splash of pink. They look like they are having so much fun!!!

I love the circles and the circle stitching. I love the story behind it also!!!

Thank you Wendy for letting us get to know you better!

Everyone have a fabulous Sunday!
