I have been married for six years.  I used to be a structural engineer (my degree is in civil engineering) and quit 11 months after getting married so we could start a family.  Two years to the day I quit my job, my first child was born and soon (May `06) my third child will be born.  I am a stay-at-home mom now and really find no desire to return to engineering.

Are you a digital only scrapper or a paper and digital scrapper?
I dream of being a paper scrapper (and have the supplies) but have not made it into that room of the house yet.  As soon as it was all bought, it got packed and much of it is still packed from moving several times last year.  I was forced to go digital due to the moves and I have no regrets.  I love being on the computer, so clean and easy to come back to when I can't finish at one sitting.

Program of choice? Software. PC or Mac
I have a PC with Windows XP.  I have tried several programs just to see what else is out there, but I always revert back to Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9.

Favorite Tip
Include journaling.  Of course not all layouts need a story, but those that do, tell it.  Don't think of journaling as a task; just get your feelings down and tell the story so you or the person you are scrapping about can enjoy the story for years to come.

Camera Info
Canon Powershot S60

Style of Scrapping
I try to make all my pages feel as real as paper even though they are digitally created.  I design my page around the photo and story I want to tell; rarely am I without journaling.
