Christy Lyle Designs Blog: Creative Team Spotlight

Hello! It's a start of a new week and I'm back today bringing you spotlight on one of Christy's Creative Members. Let's get to a little personal (not too personal) about the go-to lady, Christy's right hand woman, our Creative Team Lead, Kat Stokes.

Here is the mini questionnaire I sent over to her with her answers:

What is your digital scrapbook background? When did you first hear about it?
I started paper scrapping about 6 months before my 9 year old was born. I wanted to have albums ready to go when arrived so I could just stick some pictures in and call it done. However, I didn't get many pages done. I spent more time shopping for supplies than actually scrapping. LOL!!! Anyways, I was visiting 2 Peas in a Bucket for inspiration when I stumbled upon some digital layouts. I thought "Well I can do that", so I bought a copy of Photoshop Elements 3 and haven't looked back. I have since then given all of my paper supplies to my mom because she can't grasp the whole digital thing.

What program do you use to create your layouts? Is it the same program you started with?
I currently use Photoshop CS4 but I started out with Elements 3.

How much time a week do you spend creating your layouts?
Not enough. My pages take me so long to do. I guess I'd have to say I scrap about 5 hours a week.

Do you print your layouts or make photobooks from them?
A little of both. I have two albums from Shutterfly and 3 that I have had prints done through Costco. I am REALLY BAD about printing my pages. I'm probably 3 years behind....

What's the one element that you use over and over again on your layouts? Buttons. I love buttons. I also like staples.

Just some questions to get to know you little more ... and because I'm nosy! haha

Describe your dream vacation.
Sitting on a beach in St. Thomas, sipping on a yummy drink with no one to wait on (aka my hubby and kids).

Do you have any quirks?
I have a hard time keeping my hands out of my hair when I'm talking to people.

If there is one food, be it a snack, meal, or a drink that you can't live without, what is it and why? Mexican Food! I love all of the flavors

Who would you like to meet if you had the chance? Anyone on earth or in heaven.
I would love to see my grandparents again. <3

What color socks are you wearing?
Boring ole' white. LOL!!!

I enjoyed reading her answers and getting to know a little about my fellow creative member. Now, let's take a look at her wonderful work created with Christy Lyle Designs:
