How in the world is it December already?? It seems like this year has just flown by but lucky for the ScrapArtist team we get to end 2007 on a great note.........with the fabulously creative and just as sweet Catherine aka chud23 as our Guest Goddess for December. I asked Catherine to share her own 3 favorite layouts ...... and to be honest I have no idea how she chose only three because they are all absolutely amazing..oops I am rambling ... back to the topic, Catherine's favorite layouts......here they are.

Free to be Me

Clem

and finally Magic Mirrors a beautiful heritage layout using a priceless photo!

What fun is it to have a guest if you can't get to know them a little better while they're hanging out with you?? So we asked Catherine to share a picture, so we have a face to put with the name and the gorgeous layouts and to answer just a few little questions so we can get to know what makes her "tick".

1. My full name is: Catherine Paturet
2. My best friend calls me: Catherine

3. I scrap my children and my heritage photos because they inspire me

4. My favorite inspiration comes from: ? My children (and the pile of photos I have of them) and nature (especially for colors) are my main source of inspiration. Since I have quite grown up children, I am scanning all the photos I took of them when they were younger. I also love to look at magazines and galleries, online galleries are amazing sources of inspirational pages!

5. My computer is set up (where): in the family room downstairs where I have a wonderful view on the sea !

6. If I'm surfing the web I go check my e-mails and check my favorite digi sites and some of my fabulous creative team forums I belong to!

7. If I'm shopping I'm in Helsinki , probably at Stockham (Department store) but I don’t shop that often.

8. I've been scrapping digitally for 8 months.

9. My favorite element that I use on almost every layout is: Since I use many elements on my layouts I don’t have any favorite element but I will always use flowers, brushes, ribbons and staples.

10. My family consists of my wonderful hubby and my three gorgeous children aged 19,18 and 12.
11. Don't look, I'm having a little snack and it is: ‘Daim’, a Nordic snack made of chocolate and some kind of ‘nougatine’. Discovered itin Finland and love it!
12. My favorite travel destination is: The Pyrénées mountains (South of France)
13. My dream vacation is: visiting a new place or new country with my family
14. I (love) (hate) to journal. Journaling is the hardest for me since I never know in which language to journal and I am having a hard time to journal about private matters on a layout that I know will be in a public gallery. I guess I am quite shy about having my thoughts or family matters being read by everyone. I really need to improve on that.

15. A movie that never fails to make me cry is: Terms of Endearment
16. If I'm not scrapping, I'm spending time with my family, or reading or doing some Nordic Walking.

17. It takes me many hours to complete a layout. I think I spend too much time on my pages, but that’s because I like to use lots of elements and also because I am a perfectionist! I always admire the simpler pages but have a hard time to achieve that style, I always need to add more! Most of my pages have more than 50 layers. I spend a lot of time working on my photos and (now that I now how to do my shadows) on my shadows. I also like when I start a new page to try something new like a new type of effect on my pic, some blending, brush work, text on a path so I also take time to do some research for a good tutorial.

18. When I was ten, I saw myself as:a PE teacher

19. My biggest scrap success has been: I have had many times to rejoice lately about some scrapping success : my fifth place (in points) in the SUAS contest, being sweet treat of the month at SSD in October , having 2 pages being published in DSM and being a guest goddess at SA, which allows me to be part of a the fabulous SA team.

20. A little known fact about me is: I am a diet coke addict! I can drink several glasses of it per day.

AND the bonus question-LOL

21. I'm famous in my family for: having the hiccup too often (at least twice a day)

Ok, now we've learned all about Catherine so its time for the ScrapArtist Community to Lift that Goddess.....Scraplift anything from Catherine's ScrapArtist Gallery using 70% ScrapArtist products post it in the ScrapArtist Guest Goddess Scraplift Gallery and then link your layout here. One lucky lifter will win a gift from the ScrapArtist team.

Have a great December, I'll be back on the 19th to announce the winner of the Scraplift Challenge!
