December's Member Highlight!

This month our member highlight takes us north into Canada. Our Crafty Girl of the month is Candy, better known to us as Canzlynn98!

Candy shares a recent photo of herself and her scrapping inspiration, her son Austin, along with one of her favorite LOs.

1. Tell us a little about yourself.
I am 35 years old, I live in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. I grew up in a small town in Alberta called Taber. It's known as the Corn Capital of Canada. I then moved to Calgary, Alberta when I was 22. I lived there for 7 years and decided that big city living wasn't what I wanted for my son. So we moved back to Taber. Now we are here in Lethbridge. I am a mom. I have the most wonderful 10 year old son. Everything I do is for him. I don't know where I would be today If I didn't have him. I love photography and especially love that I can take my photos and turn them into something wonderful. I love to scrapbook and make cards.

2. What makes you tick? (do you have favorite snacks, tv shows, quirks, what excites you, etc.)
Here are a few of my favorites: I love Pepsi, Chocolate, Pizza, my favorite tv shows are: Dog the Bounty Hunter, Friends, CSI Miami. I also can't get enough scrapbooking paper. LOL!!!

3. How and when did you start scrapping?
I started scrapbooking 3 years ago. I only planned on doing one book. Well I can say that I have done about 10 now. My friend got me started and then I in turn got another friend "HOOKED" and it just kind of snowballed from there.

4. What is most inspiring to you where scrapbooking is concerned?
My photos. I find it really hard to scrapbook unless I have really good photos.

5. Do you sketch your ideas before you create them?
Not usually. I just kind of plan as I go.

6. What technique do you love, but have not tried yet?
I really haven't tried any techniques. I just like to do my own thing. Really I haven't figured out what that is yet.

7. What else has scrapbooking brought into your life other than capturing memories on paper?
I have met some of the most wonderful people by scrapbooking. It's so awesome when you can meet in a message board and make such good friends. I love how friends who also scrapbook are so supportive of your accomplishments and praise you for your hard work.

Thanks for sharing with us, Candy!
