Be sure to check out Cricket's Gallery (http://www.scrapfreak.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=418) to see more of her work.

Now, before I can give Cricket her very special Freak of the Week blinkie, she has to answer these questions:

1. How long have you been stamping/scrapping?

2. Why did you start scrapping?

3. What is your favorite line of paper?

4. What time of day do you find it easiest to scrap or stamp?

5. Tell us three things about you that make you stand apart from the rest of the scrappers/stampers.

Congratulations Cricket for being our Freak of the Week!

1. How long have you been stamping/scrapping? I started to scrap about 12 years ago. I was doing nails and had a client who asked me to come to her Creative Memories party (didn't we all start this way??) and from that moment I was hooked! I've been stamping longer but it wasn't until about 6 years ago that I developed a serious love of it! I signed on as a Stampin' Up! demo and did that for about 3 years...now I just do it for fun!!

2. Why did you start scrapping? Humm...it was just fun to do! I've always "scrapbooked" at some level. As a kid I would cut pictures out of magazines and put them into books. In my "magnetic" photo albums I'd always add pieces of paper with names, dates, silly sayings etc. I could say that I do it to preserve memories and part of that is true, but I just seriously enjoy the fun of doing it and the social gains. I've met so many wonderful friends through this hobby!!

3. What is your favorite line of paper? Is it weird that I don't have a total favorite line? Seriously, I like a bunch of different lines and it just depends on the mood I'm in as to what I use. I stay away from pastels though, I'm more an earth tone or black and white person....Of course, my favorite cardstock is Bazzill!!

4. What time of day do you find it easiest to scrap or stamp? Late afternoons or evenings. I'm blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom and my daughter, Mandi, is a teenager and pretty much does her own thing. Roger travels so much that I have a lot of time to myself. I can pretty much scrap whenever I want but I find that I do it more later in the day...that is if I can pull myself off the computer! LOL


5. Tell us three things about you that make you stand apart from the rest of the scrappers/stampers. LOL...humm...I honestly don't know! I'm not trying to be humble or anything, I just seriously don't think I do anything different than anyone else out there! I do know that I'm slowly realizing that I have a way of doing layouts that is comfortable for me and pleasing to my eye and it isn't always the "popular" thing to do at the moment (trend wise) and I keep telling myself that it is ok...I should be who I am, ya know!


Again, I'm honored to be the Freak of the Week here at Scrapfreak! Ya'll have totally made my...day, week and month!!! Thank you, thank you!!
