LOTW and Sunday Spotlight – Whitney
Boy was this a tough week!! I finally decided on Good Bye from 4noisyboys, because seriously, look at this layout! I love the placement of everything, the picture is so precious and I love the placement of the journaling. It broke my heart but it is such a great memory layout that it HAD to be picked!
Congrats 4noiseyboys!! Head on over to the gallery or the forum and leave her some love!!

This week I was excited to interview one of our very own Scrapmatters Girls. We get to know each other pretty well but there is alway something new to learn!
1. Your screen name? Your real name? whitneyt/Whitney
2. What is your main job/career? I’m a senior at the University of Northern Iowa and I graduate in December. I’m going to school for social studies education and middle level education. I do work part-time as a secretary at a non-profit organization while I’m in school though.
3. Are you married/children/pets? I live with my boyfriend of 6 years and our dog, Spud. No ring yet lol!
4. Where is home for you? The great state of Iowa!
5. What are your 3 favorite foods? Chicken anything, potatoes, & pickles.
6. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Watermelon from Schwans. It comes with little candy seeds and everything… absolutely delish.
7. Snacks…Salty or Sweet? Um, can fried be an option lol!
8. Beverage of choice? Dt. Cokeaholic 
9. What’s your least favorite food? I’m not much of a BBQ anything fan.
10. PC or Mac? What program do you use? PC & CS4 to scrap! I love my computer!
11. How long have you been digi-scrapping? How did you get started? I’ve been DS since April 2009. One of my graphic design professors asked if I would help her scrapbook a wedding album for a friend. She gave me a list of all the freebie sites she always browsed and I kinda just started going from place to place, learning as I went. I have yet to finish that wedding album… HAHA!
12. What was your 1st LO about? My first LO was of my brother and the girl who asked him to prom. I am pretty proud of it being my first LOs, I have others that are much worse lol!
13. Do you have any other hobbies besides digi-scrapping (are there other hobbies)? Not really.. but that’s fine with me because that would mean less time scrapping lol! I would like to find time to sit down and read a good book now and then, but I have other priorities (meaning LOs that need to be scrapped!)
14. What is the most challenging part of scrapbooking for you? Journaling and coming up with titles!
15. What would you like to learn to do (or do better) not related to scrapbooking? I would love to learn how to make pies, I know that’s random. I love to bake but I’m scared to try hard things like that! I’m also determined to learn how to quilt- but that may be many, many years in the future!
16. What are your favorite movies/TV shows? My favorite movies are Jumanji and The Hangover. I watch a lot of TV when I’m not scrapping: Biggest Loser, Intervention, Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Criminal Minds, Cold Case, Unwrapped… I could go on and on and on lol!
17. Describe your “scrapping” environment. Music? TV in the background? Drinks? Snacks? Where? I sit in the same spot, the TV is always on but I’m never watching it and I ALWAYS have a Dt. Coke within reach. Usually, my darling boyfriend sits across the room from me on the couch and does his own thing, usually playing Call of Duty or Madden.
18. If you only had 2 elements to use on a LO, what would they be? Buttons and stitches.
19. Would you like to share a little known fact about you…? I’m related to Albert Einstein! No joke.
20. Can you tell us a little about your scrappin’ style? I like to use a lotta layers, pictures and a cluster or two somewhere! I also love to use templates!
21. Favorite LOs that you have done?
This is one of my all time favorite LOs! The kit just worked perfectly with the colors in the pictures. I love all the clusters and scatters too!
I just adore this LO! I was so proud of it when I was done! I love the scattered flowers and the few colors used throughout. But the best part is that it includes a picture of my family!
Here are some other favorites:
22. What is your favorite part of being a member of the Scraps Matter Girls? Oh man. There are a lot of great things, but the best is leaving love. I know how much it means to get feedback on a layout, and it makes me happy that it makes other people happy! I also love to chit chat with my fellow SMG!
Thanks so much for letting us get to know you better Whit!! Check out her awesome gallery here!
