11. How long have you been digi-scrapping? How did you get started?
About 6 years. I started making little siggy tags and things with freebies I found off the internet, one day I found a template freebie and it got me wondering if there was more to it than just what I was doing. I actually googled computer scrapbooking and it was like the heavens opened up! I found tutorials and a handful of stores and never looked back. I sold all my paper items shortly after and used the money to buy kits

I am at my dining room table I can’t work with music or television on because I get distracted very easily. Usually I just have a glass of water or ice tea, no snacks. I’m big on keeping my keyboard clean.
