Sit us down at your desk, what’s it look like? What kind of equipment do you use?
Desk? What’s that? My desk is either my lap or my kitchen counter. I use a Dell laptop and a optical trackball – an upgrade from my previous laptop on which I used my touchpad! Every once in a while, I’ll drag a tablet out; however, it doesn’t happen often.
What inspires you?
Magazines and nature are super inspirational to me, as are everyday supplies.
How long is it typically take you to create a kit/template?
Templates typically take anywhere from 15min – 2hrs for a pack.
Which is your favorite kit/template?
Garland Templates
Do you scrap with your own stuff?
Not often – unless it’s stitching. Then, yes, all the time – that’s why I made them in the first place!
What is your designing soundtrack?
I love Pandora – it gives such a great mix of tunes. I have a bunch of stations – 80s, alternative, top 40, rock, etc.
How did you get started designing?
Way back in the olden days, no one had any digital notebook paper (hard to believe, I know). I had a layout that I wanted to add some layering and depth to using some little pieces of notebook paper, so I made some. People started asking where the paper came from, so one thing lead to another.
What is one of your best selling items?
Corrugated Hearts
You have just won a fabulous wardrobe from any designer you choose, who would that be?
Calvin Klein
If you could travel back in time, what would you tell yourself 10 years ago?
Uh, yes, there will be FOUR. So, go to Europe more often with just DH.
So, you are Queen for the Day. What is your first decree?
The Royal Decorator shall visit and promptly decorate to my liking, free of charge, with nothing but the finest fabrics, textures and richest colors.
Name something you couldn’t live without.
Flip Flops
Is there something you need to get off your chest?
I think I have become an kitchen appliance snob as I’ve aged.
What is your super power?
Being able to be a few places at once.
Tea for two at Harrods in London. Who’s your guest?
My Dad.
In the movie version of your life, who will play you?
Jennifer Garner
