My Profile

Signature Style: Plain but playful
Favorite QuicKutz alphabet: I've been using lots of Uptown Girl lately - one of those fonts that I wasn't too sure about when I first saw it but love now that I've had a chance to play with it. Especially like to use just upper or just lower case with this one - it's like getting two fonts in one!
Most used QuicKutz shapes: The new nesting shapes - the circles and the flowers are my favorites.
Most used/preferred colors: Since I just sorted all my patterned paper by color and the green pile was easily three times the size of any other color - I guess I would say green!
Favorite Silhouette technique: I think being able to stretch and alter the proportions of shapes and letters is very cool.
Favorite Die cutting technique: I like to combine different die cut fonts in my titles - I'll often use a large, bolder font for the most important word and something small or thin for the rest.
Preferred QuicKutz Storage System: Love the new magnetic storage binders for the cookie cutter dies - I'm kind of a messy scrapper and I worried about losing them but just keeping the binder open in front of me makes it so easy to keep them organized and safe.
Favorite Retired QuicKutz product: Well who can't say they love Studio! I miss Calvin too - he was a cute little fella.
Favorite topics to scrapbook: The funny stuff - somehow pictures that help tell a funny story always seem to make it into albums the quickest.
What are your Magpie colors? Black shelves and sandstone tins.
Best source of inspiration: Browsing around Target for color combos and now that I have finally mastered the concept of the rss feed, I love getting little daily doses of inspiration from the blogs of other creative people.
What I love best about QuicKutz: The ability to customize - nothing beats being able to choose the perfect colors to match a project and never running out of the letters or shapes you need.
Additional hobbies: Mostly outdoor activities with the family. Recently tried to rekindle my sewing habit of many years past - we shall see how long that lasts.
