And The Spotlight Is On...

our one and only Kaytee!

CT: Tell us a little about yourself...

Kaytee: Well, my name is Kaytee and I have been married for 4 years. We have a baby girl named Nichole, who is not much of a baby anymore!! lol, She is 2 1/2 and SPOILED!!! We are currently trying to add to our family!! We also have 2 dogs and a cat. A black lab named Strider, a beagle named Ally McBeagle, and the kitty is Sassi.

CT: When & how did you start digiscrapping?

Kaytee: I started digiscrapping about a year and half ago. I was using a crappy program that didn't use layers and such at that time!

CT: Do you use a laptop or desktop & what program do you use?

Kaytee: I use a desk top computer with Paintshop Pro X2, we just got a laptop as well, but I can't get my program to upload on it :(

CT: What's your fave Pretty Pixels kit & why?

Kaytee: Hmm... so many to choose from!!! If I had to choose one though I think I would go with My BFF Rose. Its just so girly and FUN!! That frog is just the cutest thing ever!!! lol

CT: Do you take part in challenges? If so what's your fave?

Kaytee: I do! I love challenges, I go to those when I am having problems getting started on a page, which is often! lol My favorite challenges are templates or journaling! I also really like doing the recipe challenge and Digital Candy. I have never done those till last month and it was just great!!

CT: What do you enjoy doing apart from scrapping?

Kaytee: Well I am a co-owner of a parenting website, so I do spend some time doing that. I also play World of Warcraft with my dad, my uncle and great Aunt, and even my husband! lol We are all dorks. I love to read and my favorite book is Lord of the Rings, though I am reading The Other Boleyn Girl right now and its FABULOUS!!

CT: I like your Digital Candy username - nvr.4.gtn - is there a story behind this?

Kaytee: There is! This is my user name all over the internet. Its pronounced (never for gotten) for those that didn't know. Its for my brother. He was killed in Iraq in june of 2005. He was 23 years old and my baby brother! I will never forget him and want others to remember the soldiers fighting right now. Not just honor the fallen but to honor all of them. My father is a retired Marine who served in Vietnam and Desert Storm, my other brother, Kevin was a Marine (with 2 tours in Iraq) and then transferred to the Army where he went for a 3rd time. His 3rd time there was my brother Nick's first tour. They served at the same time though in different areas of Iraq. Nick was killed when I was 3 months pregnant. I never even told him I was pregnant, though my mom says he knew. So we named our child after him. Her name is Nichole. CT: What can I say? That is a tragic but lovely story...

CT: And finally, have you got something you would like to share with the blogs readers like a quote or a trick to the program you use or any scrapping advice etc?

Kaytee: Hmm... I don't know. lol I guess my only advise would be to scrap with purpose! Scrap little things that don't mean much now but you know they will in years to come. For example I recently did a page on little things Nichole says. Just little phrases she says that are so funny when she says them, but I know I won't remember them when she is older. Now because they are scrapped she will know how silly she was!

CT: here is that lo in the Digital Candy gallery and here's a couple more...
