We’re delighted to welcome Terri Morris as Guest Designer for our new release Harmony Kit. Terri has visited our blog a few times in the past so we know she’s going to have some beautiful (and quite possibly travel themed) projects in store for us this month. Welcome Terri!
1. WE CAN READ ALL ABOUT YOU IN THIS MEET ME ON MONDAY POST SO, TELL US, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO LATELY?
Well, I’ve had a very busy September which included a 2 week holiday in Uzbekistan. Most people look at me a little crazy when I say where we have been and then they ask where it is! It’s a beautiful former Soviet Union county south of Russia and north of Afghanistan. We don’t do beach holidays, we love to explore new cultures!
2. DO YOU THINK YOUR SCRAPPING STYLE HAS CHANGED SINCE YOU FIRST STARTED SCRAPPING?
My style has definitely changed! I used to make very simple pages often with oval or round photos, simple embellishment and limited journaling. Now I like to be a little more creative using some mixed media and lots of layers.
3. WHICH 3 ITEMS DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE CLOSE BY WHEN CREATING?
- My iPad so I can watch some crafty YouTube videos or search Facebook/Pinterest for inspiration.
- Some sort of snack. Usually jelly sweets but I’m trying to be good and having fruit.
- Tea or wine!
4. IF YOU COULD GIVE A PIECE OF ADVICE TO A NEWBIE SCRAPBOOKER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Try not to compare yourself to other scrapbookers. In time you’ll find your own style and it will continually evolve as you find new techniques and products.
5. WHO’S YOUR BIGGEST INSPIRATION?
This is a hard one as I find so much inspiration online from so many different people. I’m not sure I have one person as my biggest inspiration but must say that all the lovely ladies in the like for ever subscribers group provide me with an endless supply of inspiring layouts. I have taken some parts from layouts by different people and combined them in to my own style. Although, I must mention that I have recently been inspired by Ali Edwards to tell better stories through my pages.
6. DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE IN 5 WORDS.
Layers, pretty, texture, mists, busy.
7. IF YOU WERE GIVEN FREE REIN TO DESIGN A SCRAPBOOKING COLLECTION, WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE?
Probably something travel themed with lots of cameras and maps. I love watercolour patterns and woodgrain backgrounds so definitely plenty of those! Similar to Shimelle’s Go now Go collection but with a softer more subtle colour palette.
And three silly ones…
8. IF I WERE A SUPERHERO I’D BE…
This was a difficult one as I’m not really a comics fan so I asked my fiancé. His answer was Storm. I’m not sure how to take that really?!
9. CURRENTLY BINGE WATCHING…
Nashville – can’t get enough of this Country music drama. Lots of crazy storylines and good music. I managed to watch the whole of series 3 on my iPad whist scrapbooking in about 3 day.
10. MY FAVOURITE WORD IS…
Cake (possibly my favourite food too!)
