Happy Sunday to you all! Today we spotlighting one of our wonderful members Jude (judet).

1. Your screen name? Your real name?

judet. Real name is Jude.

2. What is your main job/career?

I’m on a career break at the moment, but normally I attempt to teach physics to teenagers.

3. Are you married/children/pets?

I’m married and I have 3 year old and nearly 2 year old girls – they appear in my layouts quite a lot!

4. Where is home for you?

I live in Essex which is in the east of England.

5. What are your 3 favorite foods?

Really difficult to decide! My husband’s homemade curry, my pizza and my signature cheesecake (only dessert I can make well!)

6. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

Either homemade pistachio and cardamom (don’t knock it til you’ve tried it, or Ben & Jerry’s Fossil Fuel

7. Snacks…Salty or Sweet?

Sweet. No contest!

8. Beverage of choice?

Going to have to be really English and say a nice cup of tea…

9. What’s your least favorite food?

Anything deep-fried. Yuck.

10. PC or Mac? What program do you use?

I’ve got a laptop running Vista and, as everyone probably knows, I scrap using GIMP (it’s free!)

11. How long have you been digi-scrapping? How did you get started?

I was looking for pretty backgrounds to print for my elder daughter to stick things on as a kind of holiday journal. Found a few things then clicked on Shabby Princess… That was early last year, but I didn’t really do much with it til November. I know it was November cos I missed all the National Scrapbooking Day giveaways!

12. What was your 1st LO about?

A day out in the country with my family. It was basically a paper, a few photos and a flower stuck randomly on…

13. Do you have any other hobbies besides digi-scrapping (are there other hobbies)?

I run, not as much as I should; I used to do a lot of big walks, but we just do the 3 miles my daughter can manage now and I love taking photos – trying to learn how to do it properly now.

14. What is the most challenging part of scrapbooking for you?

Stopping!! Um, probably having to figure out how to do everything from scratch as all the tutorials don’t apply! That’s getting easier though as I learn more.

15. What would you like to learn to do (or do better) not related to scrapbooking?

I want to improve my running, my aim is to build myself up to a 10k. Of course, that means getting off the sofa. And I want to learn to take photos in manual.

16. What are your favorite movies/TV shows?

Not too bothered about TV, but I do watch Doctor Who (it’s a revamped cult British family sci-fi type thing).

17. Describe your “scrapping” environment. Music? TV in the background? Drinks? Snacks? Where?

On the sofa with my laptop, TV or whatever game my husband is playing on in the background.

18. If you only had 2 elements to use on a LO, what would they be?

Flowers and something sparkly.

19. Would you like to share a little known fact about you…?

I’m doing ADSR with Judy (jupiter394) and apparently I send too many emails …

20. Can you tell us a little about your scrappin’ style?

Ever changing! I’m inspired and influenced by other layouts. Depends on the kit and the pictures. I’d say I mainly try to mimic paper layouts, I love it to look like its sticking up off the page.

21. Favorite LOs that you have done?

Resolution – One of my better pieces of journaling – there is some!

I do – I love the way the pics came out on this one and it’s a really precious memory

Dedham and Flatford – I just really like the way this one came out.

Aren’t those pages beautiful! Thanks Jude for letting us get to know you. We sure love having you at ScrapMatters and we love seeing your work. Make sure you check out her gallery and leave her some love!
