Fiskarette Spotlight - Jayne

by Jayne & Caroline

This week I put our very own Jayne on the spotlight!

*What are your favourite craft techniques?*

My main passion is scrapbooking and i simply enjoy cutting & sticking

paper ! I do plan to fiddle in lots more techniques in 2009 & experiment

more. I also have a love for wire work and beads.

 

*How often do you craft?*

I craft 3-4 times a week .

 

*Do you have a favourite time of the day dedicated to crafting?*

Evenings when the kids are in bed, especially if there is football on the

tv then my husband doesn’t complain either.

 

*What is on your desk at the moment?*

My cricut, a HUGE Fiskars cutting mat & my new Fiskars rotary paper

cutter, a stack of paper trays with my fave papers in. A can of pepsi max.

 

*Do you have a favourite quote or poem?*

Nope I’m really not into all that slushy stuff though I suppose my fave quote would be …. Treat others how you want to be treated.

 

*Any hints or tips you would pass on to anyone else?*

My biggest message would be go on try it out you know you want to !!!! I’m

great with advice but not so great following it through !!

 

*Other than craft stash, do you collect anything or have any other hobbies?*

My other hobby is Geocaching as its a great way to get the family out in

the country. To explain quickly its Treasure hunting with GPS and all ages

can join in, Its also a great photo opportunity.  I Also have a small tiara

making business called Headlough Tiaras.

 

*Do you have any favourite projects you would like to show us?*

 

Mini book

 

Geocaching layout

 

Beach Babe layout

 

*What makes you smile?*

My children family and friends make me smile oh my best scrapping friend

Cleo ‘she gets my sense of humour’

 

*Favourite song right now?*

Gangsters Paradise by Coolio - I’ve always loved this song, I’m a Robbie

Williams fan too but also love bands like Kaiser Chiefs and Pidgeon

Detectives, Scouting for Girls …

 

*Favourite film?*

Armageddon but I cant ever spell it . Oh and ELF … I love ELF !!!

 

*If you could be invisible where you go and what would you do?*

I would go back to my ex husbands and wack him round the head with a

baseball bat a few  times just for the sake of it lol !!!!! No only

kidding we kind of get on now ! I would go to the place I got my invisible

potion from and grab me some more for my family :D

 

*Do you have an burning desire to fufil any ambition before you reach your next birthday milestone, eg. 30, 40, 50 60?*

Milestone is nearly here in 2.5 yrs I’ll be 40 …. I want to go to New

York. But I am quite happy with what I’ve got and have done what I’ve set

out to do in life .

 

*If you could take three things with you on a desert island, what would

they be?*

Not including my husband & kids etc… it would be …. My coat, a boat

and scrapping tote !!!

I get cold , I would try and sail away and I could use my tools for survival

skills like preparing foods  and catching fish with my herma and a safety

pin or something !

 

*If you could visit anywhere in the world – where would it be and why?*

I’m not very adventrous so it would have to be Dominican Republic again as

I got married there . Thats if it isn’t new York shopping.

 

*Just for fun:*

Favourite food – lasagne gotta be with chips though.

Favourite chocolate bar – Cadburys creme egg.

Black or white – black but rather have colour anyday.

Dog or cat – dog.

Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter – Summer,  I get cold !!!OH  But

geocaching is better in the winter there isnt stinging nettles…….

I tried to upload these photos last week but it failed so I am going to try again.

I followed the sketch from 8th December - yes I know it is very late - either that or I am very slow or both. HAHA.

The first one is a Christmas card and the second is for a friend’s birthday...
