Good Sunday morning to all of you out there in digiland! It's freeeezing here in the Midwest but we have yet to have snow. *knock on wood* I hope you all are having a fabulous weekend wherever you are and I'm gonna make it a little sweeter ;) I am a nosy person by nature...just how I'm wired. SO, today I'm bringing you a get to know you about our very own designer extraordinaire, Miss Jennifer Fox, along with a lil' freebie that Jennifer made just for you.
I'm a 30 year old retired elemetary school teacher turned SAHM of two darling kids. I've been married to my college sweetheart for going on 9 years. I'm obsessed with photography, scrapbooking (digi and paper), yoga, and Appalacian State football. I've been "officially" designing for about 9 months, but dabbling before that. I'm pretty much an open book and wear my heart on my sleeve.
What made you start designing?
I had been scrapping for a long time and sometimes got frustrated when I couldn't find what I needed to make a layout look the way I wanted. I started playing around with creating some stuff on my own and enjoyed it. I entered a designer contest at Funky Playground and ended up being offered a spot in the store. It's just kind of taken off from there.
Which do you prefer scrapping or designing?
Depends on the day. Sometimes I really prefer to just relax and scrap--plus, scrapping is really something I do for my family, so I freak out a bit if I get too far behind. Other times I'm just feeling more creative and that's when I do my best designing.
What's your favorite kit so far....?
I really, really love Such a Hoooot!
Do you have any inspiration when it comes to designing?
I get inspiration from so many places. My CT girls are a HUGE help. I love fabrics, catalogs, bedding, wedding sites, etc. I really love to play with colors and that is usually a starting point for me.
Do you have prefer single photo layouts or multiphoto layouts?
Hmmm...probably multi.
Your fave movie?
No way I can name one. The last movie that really blew me away was Seven Pounds. Just wow. I love chick flicks, though--Sweet Home Alabama, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and Failure to Launch are some that I'll watch whenever they're on.
Book?
The Shack. In a close second is The Love Dare--not exactly a novel, but very important to me.
Skittles or M&M's?
M&Ms. Duh. Chocolate.
What's your favorite word?
Ridiculous
Which came first...the chicken or the egg?
Bacon. Really. I love bacon.
Do you recycle?
Yes.
What's one thing that no one would believe if you told them?
I was *this* close to going to med school, but decided last minute that having a family was more important to me and the years of sacrifice just weren't worth it. I loved teaching, love being a SAHM, but still question that decision.
Isn't she just the cutest, ever? Now that you know a little bit more about Jennifer, how about a little freebie? I admired Jennifer's scrapping skills LONG before she became a designer and I love when she makes templates because it lets me scrap a little like her! Soooo, today, I have a little template that Jennifer made so you too can scrap just like her.
