LOTW and Sunday Spotlight- Mye
My pick for this week is Your Eyes by LauraLea! Isn’t it awesome?! I love the close-up of the eyes, I love the shadowing. I love all the little detail placement of the elements yet how it is all centered on the page. I love the color combo mixed with the black and white photo. She makes me want to grab my camera and take a close up of my own children’s eyes!
Congrats LauraLea!! Head on over to the gallery or the forum and leave her some much deserved love!

1. Your screen name? Your real name? My screen name is Mye and it’s also my nick name. My real name is Myrlyn De Leon.
2. What is your main job/career? I am a digital scrapbook designer and I go by the name Mye De Leon.
3. Are you married/children/pets? I am married for 5 years to Kris and have twin daughters, Scieszka Raine and Elysia Raine. We also have 2 dogs named Yuna and Bea.
4. Where is home for you? For me, home is where my family is. Well I have 2 types of families, my real family and my digi-family. Scrap Matters family is one and this big happy family is something I love and treasure.
5. What are your 3 favorite foods? I love spaghetti despite my age and I prefer cake over ice cream. And of course, barbeque!
6. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? I am simply happy with Vanilla 
7. Snacks…Salty or Sweet? I prefer salty 
8. Beverage of choice? Juice or tea are my best choices
9. What’s your least favorite food? Carbonara and Kebab
10. PC or Mac? What program do you use? PC. Have always owned a PC but still dreaming for a Mac LOL! I use Photoshop CS3 extended both for scrapping and designing.
11. How long have you been digi-scrapping? How did you get started? I have been digi-scrapping since 2009. I got fascinated with it when I saw my friend posting a lot of layouts in her blog. I asked her how she does it and she introduced me to Photoshop. I started learning the program and there, now I am totally addicted
12. What was your 1st LO about? Oh my gosh – I think I haven’t even posted my first LO in any galleries. But they are of my daughters baby pics. I started making an album of their first year but didn’t really like it and thought of repeating all of them. I have these LOs though made using Happy Scrap Girl’s Berry Licious kit
13. Do you have any other hobbies besides digi-scrapping (are there other hobbies)? I used to love playing volleyball but I haven’t been out much really so most of the time, I am just in front of the PC or watching my little girls play.
14. What is the most challenging part of scrapbooking for you? The journaling. I really really need to improve on that. I seldom have layouts with journal. It’s really a challenge for me as it just doesn’t come to me naturally. I feel like I am always obligated to put something appealing to those who will look at the LO.
15. What would you like to learn to do (or do better) not related to scrapbooking? I wanted to learn how to cook better. I know how to cook but MIL still knows best and I wanted to surpass her cooking prowess!
16. What are your favorite movies/TV shows? I haven’t watched TV for a long time and I can’t say it’s my favorite but I used to like Supernatural and So You Think You Can Dance (are these even being shown now?)
17. Describe your “scrapping” environment. Music? TV in the background? Drinks? Snacks? Where? Oh I want to scrap in a quiet place. I don’t even want background music. When others can’t scrap without snacks or coffee, I’d prefer nothing. It will distract me really LOL! Call me weirdo!
18. If you only had 2 elements to use on a LO, what would they be? A twig and a flower. It’s a challenge for me without them.
19. Would you like to share a little known fact about you…? A little known fact about me? Hmm, I design too but I still have my very own favorite designer by the name of Connie Prince
20. Can you tell us a little about your scrappin’ style? I love to have simple clusters in my layouts. I want it clean and less cluttered
21. Favorite LOs that you have done?
22. How long have you been a member at ScrapMatters? I have been a member of SM since April and I just love being here – the girls are friendly, the designers are awesome! It’s a community filled with good people who cares for each other.
23. Do you have any suggestions for kits you’d like to see in the SM store? So far, I have seen a lot and I shouldn’t ask for more in the store but it would be nice to see a couple of new Asian kits in there
24. What is one thing you tend not to use on layouts? Buttons. I rarely use them. It’s weird because I have a good friend who can’t stand without a button in a kit! LOL!
25. How long have you lived in your city? We’ve been here for more than 20 years already, though I had to spend 5 years in another city when i was in college.
26. What is your favorite childhood memory and have you scrapped it? Oh I guess I won’t be able to give you some LO about this but my favorite childhood memory is being able to play in the farm. I haven’t had a single photo though to scrap it with and it’s a pity.
Thanks Mye for letting us get to know you a little better!! Check out her full gallery here!
