Lyndsay Riches     Product Highlight: Colour Me Girly Your first kit, what do you think when you look back at it now? It makes me realize how much I've learned and improved since I started designing! There is always something new to learn.   What aspect of your designing would you like to improve upon? Extracting. I actually have lots of practice as extracting is part of my 'day' job, but I just really despise doing it! :) How has your scrapping evolved since you started designing? Unfortunately, the only scrapping I ever seem to get done these days is when I use the Quick Pages I create from my newest kit to create a layout!

Cari Cruse     Product Highlight: Olde Tyme Junque Where do you get the inspiration for the names of your products?   I have always loved puns and other plays on words, so my kit names usually have some sort of word play involved. Is there a certain time of day that you feel the most inspired to design? Inspiration seems to strike me quite randomly - early mornings, late at night, and all stops in-between! Is there any one item or element that you don't like adding to your kits? Ex. stitches, ribbons, strings, clipping masks, etc. The only thing I can think of is maybe cluster frames … but that is really only because I am lousy at creating them!

Fee Jardine   Product Highlight: Happy Days What do you do to keep your kits different from other designers to draw customers? When I design a kit I usually just go with the flow…I like to design things that make me happy so I don’t consciously think about how my kit is different to another designers. But I do like to include some unique hand drawn doodly stuff in most kits. Each kit usually ends up with a few pieces of doodly goodness   Is there a certain element that you seem to use over and over again in your kits? If so, what is it? I LOVE flowers so they usually find their way into a kit…except of course if I’m doing a boy inspired kit. Now if only I could work out a way to make flowers boyish LOL! Do you find that themed kits sell better than generic kits? Generally my kits sell the same whether they are themed or generic. My biggest selling kit though was a themed kit. I think it did so well because the theme was bike riding…and as far as themes go…it’s a theme that most people can relate to and scrap about.

Lauraskathi   Product Highlight: Erica What do you listen to while you design? Usually I watch TV while I design. I'm totally addicted to TV series and have watched most of them before so I don't have to see any minute and just hearing it is good enough to understand what's going on there. What your favorite product of your own that you've designed? For now it's "Erica" - especially when I see what my CT did with it!   Do you have another "day" job besides designing? I'm "just" a mother and housewife besides designing. Actually I had more time of my own when I was working "outside", so I only have the chance to be a designer at night.
