New Beginnings: Get to Know Lori Gentile

1. Must have scrapbook supply?
Patterned Paper

2. Why & when did you start scrapbooking?
My cousin showed me her "scrapbook" of her kids in 1997 and I freaked. I knew that I wanted to do it, too. I've never felt like I was creative and seeing her book, I felt it would be something I could do to feel creative without having to be. Back in the day idea books were for copying exactly. ;)

Coffee with cream and Starbucks Chai lattes

Time and a new camera

Wallet, cell phone and a band-aid.

6. Favorite scrapbook technique or style?
I like to outline everything with pen or sewing and I love to add dimension.

7. When do you feel most creative?
First thing in the morning. I'm a zombie at night.

8. Do you snack while you scrapbook? If so, what?
No, never.

9. Do you have a scrapbook confession?
I completely lay out my page/project and then gently lift the corners without moving anything and add liquid glue to adhere it.

Far too many; Glee, Project Runway, Top Chef, Smallville, Vampire Diaries, Lost, 24 and Life Unexpected.

11. Jobs you've had?
Retail assistant manager, receptionist, accounting clerk, buyer, and program manager.
