Now, let's get to know Roxx a little better!

What is your favorite craft item/tool? My Circuit Expression


What is your favorite paper line? DCWV, I’ve never bought any online so I’m sure over time that may change.


What is your favorite color? Oh I guess if I had to choose it would be shades of Brown & Olive. My wardrobe is shades of brown, olive and black. I definitely need a wardrobe makeover.


How is your craft room decorated? Ha I’m a Twilight Fan I have framed Eclipse pictures and my favorite straw hats on my walls. Oh and my room & wall unit is painted in shades of brown.


Are you an animal person? LOL a huge Yes! We have 2 cats and 3 dogs Moses a fawn 14 yr old pug, Elvis a black 4yr old pug and Ryder a 4 yr old Basset Hound.



Do they have a place in your craft room? I don’t usually let them in, because it’s a small room and they love to camp out by my feet. If I’m coloring an image I do it in the living room so they can be beside me.


Favorite Disney movie? Wow that’s too hard to choose, I like so many of them I couldn't pick just one.


Favorite music? Country is what I listen to most, but I love all kinds of music. Classical, Top 40, Tejano. It just depends what mood I’m in. Right now my favorite cd is Twilight soundtrack.


Beach or snow vacation? Definitely the Beach! I love Saint Simon’s Island and their beautiful beaches off the Coast of Georgia .


Sweet or savory snacks? I’d say Sweet, through I try not to keep any in the house except for a few bars of chocolate, just in case a craving hits.

Now, let's get scrappin'!! =)

What is your favorite Disney movie? There have been so many new ones out that are wonderful. But my first "favorite" disney movie was Beauty and The Beast.

Do you get your inspiration from them? Ive been known to do that on occasion! I made two cards recently that were TV show inspired.

Sweet or Savory snacks? Savory. I don't eat many sweets.


Scary or Romantic movies? Comedies are my favorite, but if I had to choose between scary or romantic, I'd choose romantic.


Beach or Snow vacations? Definitely beach!

Our Next Challenge: RETRO themed

This challenge is sponsored by our guest designer, Christina Hicks. She chose a RETRO Themed challenge! What a great idea, Christina! Let's see who's up for the challenge...use Mr. Linky below to submit your entries. You may submit as many times as you like!

What a retro card!!! Thanks, Christina!

Now, Let's get to know Christina!

Above: My cat George hiding amonst my scrap papers. (just gotta smile at that!)

Below: My husband Mickey along with my son Rodney on his graduation day from Boot Camp.

What is your favorite craft medium? Digital images! I love all things crafty but digital images have completly changed my whole way of crafting. I am never bored or run out of ideas now.

What is your favorite scrap item/tool? That changes a lot but right now its a new craft knife I just got that fits around your finger. I had so much trouble controlling my other pen shaped ones and this one is a breeze, I love it.

What is your favorite paper line/company? I am not reallly dedicated to a certain company, I just find papers I like and buy them. But I guess my favorite papers I have ever gotten were from Club Scrap and they were designed by Michael Strong, who I am a huge fan of. I won them from his blog and I have only used them once, lol, I have threatened to frame them because they are so gorgeous and I dont want to use them up.

What is your favorite color(s)? Pink is my favorite, but I love green almost as much.

How do you have your scraproom decorated? Colors, themes, homey, contempo, etc. haphazard, lol. Its an ongoing process. I just got a dedicated craftroom about a year ago. Before that it was whereever I could set a table up long enough to work on a project. My son left for the army last June and I took over his room so its still not like I want it but its all mine and that wonderful.

Are you an animal person? Most definetly! Do they have a place in your scraproom? As you can see from my photo, my cat George fits right in. If I am in my craftroom he is too. In fact he spends more time in here than I do, he likes to sleep in here on my footstool when I am not in here.

What is your favorite Disney movie? Aladdin Do you watch TV/Movies while working? No tv in my craftroom. I like music when I am crafting. Do you get your inspiration from them? I draw inspiration from commercials. You know they are all about color and design and I will often see a color combo or they way they have something laid out and go oh hey I could add that to a card.

Sweet or Savory snacks? Combo, my fav right now is a combo of sesame sticks and yogurt raisins.

Scary or Romantic movies? Romantic comedy is my favorite kind of movies.

Beach or Snow vacations? I dont like the cold and I burn really easily. So if I am at a beach I have to sit with a blanket around me, way fun, lol. I like the country, so lakes, picnics, lots of trees and shade.

Favorite type of music? Right now glee radio, on aol radio. I am a huge Glee fan and I love to listen to the music played on there.


Thanks again, Christina! Hope you are all up for this awesome challenge. Remember, the winner gets a chance to be guest designer for an upcoming challenge, and if you are chosen as featured artist, you win 2 free Doodle Palace images.

GOOD LUCK, everyone!
