CT Spotlight: Vanilla (aka Eva)
This week we’re shining our flashlight on our sweet CT member Eva! I’m sure you’ve seen her gorgeous pages in our gallery. Now it’ time to get to know her a little better.

Give us the Cliff Notes version of you.
28 years old - from Germany - proud SAHM - blessed with my baby boy, my hubby and my dog - scrapbooker and photographer - creative, shy, funny
How did you get into scrapping?
I saw some layouts on a dog forum, and I was totally fascinated by them. So I tried it out myself and became addicted.
What program do you use to scrap?
Photoshop CS4
What is your favorite NSBR thing to do?
Photography
What are the top 5 songs on your list right now?
Oh that’s hard. I often listen to the radio. But if you ask for my favorite band, it’s The Rasmus, my favorite song is “Not like the other Girls”.
What accomplishment are you most proud of?
My creativity.
Are you musically inclined?
Yes, I play the piano, the violin and the guitar.
What inspires you?
My baby boy 
What are your top 5 layouts you’ve ever done?





How do you start a layout?
I always choose a paper first and then look for some elements that I love and that will probably fit together.
What made you want to apply for your first CT?
I loved the stuff she created and was curious on CT work.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
A nurse.
How long does it take you to create a layout?
Between 1 and 4 hours.
Who are your scrapping/designing heros?
Oh that’s a difficult question. I love all the designers I am creative for. Beside that I am a fan of Kaye Winiecki who was one of my first CTs ever! I don’t have scrapping idols, but I am fan of so many ladies - there’s so much talent around in the galleries! But one of my all time favs - not only for scrappers but also because she’s a wonderful friend - is Summer!
Do you have a specific style?
I don’t think so.
Do you have a vision of what a layout will look like when you start it?
Never!
What would be your dream vacation?
I’d love to go to New Zealand or Canada with my family.
And no After 5 interview would be complete without this question…What is your favorite after hours drink?
I love Pina Colada, but only without alcohol.
