Hello everyone! Today I’d like to introduce you all to our own Designer Digitals Commander Terry, otherwise known as MIDA78466
Terry’s Gallery is a treat to browse - the variety of interesting subjects and themes that she chooses to scrap are inspiring, as is her masterful technique. Make sure to check it out!
Terry openly confesses to being a Designer Digitals addict, but lays all the blame at Paula Gilarde’s door. Terry did a beginner’s class with Paula in 2007 and consequently joined DD in December of that year.
An amazingly busy woman, Terry previously worked as Chief Financial Officer of hospitals, but she has been employed for the last 10 years as a Practice Administrator for a group of radiologists. She is pretty much at the beck and call of those doctors 24/7 - even when on vacation! She also has to travel a lot, being out of town at least once a week. The upside is that she gets to work out of home, so has lots of flexibility; although I don’t think that means being able to sneak in extra scrapping time! Terry also teaches managerial/cost accounting at the University and have been doing that since 1997.
I told you she was busy!
Terry and her husband have 5 children, 4 already grown and out of home and one a senior in high school. They are both rather looking forward to enjoying the empty nest syndrome!
I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading Terry’s answers to these questions we posed.
Q1. What do you consider to be your essential tools for creating digital scrapbook pages?
A. I just can’t live without my Nikon D60 camera. I just bought a new lens 50mm 1.4 and love it. My Macbook Pro—it’s my baby!
Q2. Who in the Designer Digitals community inspires you?
A. Oh let me see—there are so many talented ladies here at DD—it is hard to pick just one. Anke—she and I started digi at the same time. Love how she can layer so many elements. She’s the queen of embellies. Linda-I had the opportunity to meet her this summer. Just love her clean look and bright colors. Never get enough of Katie and Sam’s LO’s. Then there is Amy—love the LO’s of her boys. Aino—she has a style of her own and never tire of seeing her little ones. Kelly—mugsbigsis—now that is one creative woman. I just wish I had a little bit of her creativity. Can’t forget Katrina—now she inspires me with her photography!
Q3. Would you say that your scrapping is photo or story driven?
A. hmmmmm…that’s a good question. At one time I would say it was photo driven but now I am trying to concentrate on recording the stories behind the photos.
Q4. Do you have a favourite time in the day/week to scrap?
A. How does all day and night sound!! Seriously—I have a full time job so about the only time I have to scrap is at night.
Q5. What are your 3 all-time favourite DD products?
A Just love Katie’s Classic Cardstock, Anna’s stitches and Pattie’s Fasten Its.
I asked Terry to choose her favourite page to share with you. She picked two and asked me to choose. Well, that was just too hard, so here are both of them, along with Terry’s comments about each page.
She says, “I love each one of these for a different reason. The style in Perfect is way different for me. I had fun with it and it has very honest journaling. The football one is also one of my favorites because I feel like it really captured the emotions of the kids on the football team.”
I’m sure you will all join me in thanking Terry for her participation in our community here at Designer Digitals. Her pages are an inspiration and she is always so supportive, encouraging and helpful in the forums.
We are proud to know you a little better, Terry!
