Friday, January 21, 2011
Happy Friday, peeps! As promised, here's an interview with yours truly. Even if you caught the UStream, this is a different line of interrogation... uh, I mean questioning. It's more about designing, teaching, etc. Hope you enjoy. And don't forget to become a follower and leave a comment on this post for another chance to win this week's blog candy (8 Signo pens and 3 VersaMagic chalk inks). We'll be posting the winner by Sunday.
Here are a few of my favorite Cricut projects that I've designed over the last couple of years...
Down by the Sea Layout. Made with A Child's Year. I made this when Provo Craft asked me to preview this cartridge before it came out, and it's still one of my favorite carts!
Wild About You Book. Uses Animal Kingdom & Mickey Font. This was made for a class, and was my top-selling kit of all time. They're sold out, but directions are available.
Home for the Holidays Layout. Uses Everyday Paper Dolls and Winter Woodland. I made this during my week as Guest Designer for Everyday Cricut a little over a year ago. It was never a kit, so I don't have full directions for it, but you can get basic directions HERE.
Girly Gift. Tags, Bags, Boxes & More plus the Mother's Day cart. Was made for a class and sold out twice, but directions are still available. Paper is from Websters Pages.
Dream Book. Made with the Storybook cartridge. (No Design Studio involved.) Taught this as a class. Directions are still available.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed getting to know our designers a little better this week. We might just have to do a video interview of Wendy, though, since she missed out on being tortured that way. Be sure to keep coming back as we'll have more blog candy each week, and more videos, projects and tips & tricks coming up.

Thanks for the video. I so enjoyed it and am glad you posted the Dream Book. This is what started me on Word Books!
Awesome interview Monique!!! I seriously would love it if you would travel to Nebraska ~ I have about 30 ladies in my Gypsy email addy book who would love to see you in action!!!!!
Thanks for the fun interview, Monique! You have the most wonderful family! I love all of your work, and the seashore layout is definitely my favorite too. I remember that seeing that was what prompted me to get A Child's Year!
Great getting to know you more in this interview.
I really enjoyed your interview Monique! Your love and passion for scrapbooking shows through in all of your work. It has really been great getting to know you and I look forward to your new ideas and creations.
Great interview Monique! Your brother sounds like a sweetie. My favorite is the down by the sea layout, I love it! Shari (cricutrookie)
I just love you and have never met you. You seem like such a nice person and genuine. Thanks!
Great interview. I love all your work!!

I just like you more and more. -And that makes me feel like a crazy stalker, because we've never met! I love your LO and projects. Thanks so much for all the time you (and your DT) take to share it with us! -Roxann
Those are beautiful projects! I haven't seen some of them before. I think the animal book is still my fav.
Love the dream book.
Such a great interview...thanks to you and Paul for taking the time and letting us get to know you a little better. I am so excited to see where you're going in 2011...the skies the limit. Take care...Bev B
My favorite design would have to be... well a tie between all of them:) My daughter tells me if I keep watching your videos I might turn into you (fingers crossed). LOL Yes this was lifted from the Kevin Bacon commercial but it totally applies here!!! Thanks Monique
Great tips on designing. Your kits are the BEST!!!!! It's so nice getting to know through video and not just through e-mails. Looking forward to all your kits for 2011. Would love to see you come to the Indianapolis area. Thanks, Monique
Thank you for the great tips and awesome projects.

It has been so much fun this week learning about your "design team" family. I love your designs but I don't think you give yourself enough credit for creativity/imagination. It takes so much more than mere mortals like myself have. Thank you for being so patient with us! lol
Hey Monique, I missed the Ustream and tried to watch it the other day, but couldn't get it to work. Anyway, you look great and I'm so happy that you're feeling good too. Get your rest!
What incredible talent - I'm awestruck. Your pages and designs are gorgeous. The tip on separation of patterns - I'll have to give that one a try. I love how you mix and match patterns and make it all work. Thanks so much for the interviews - it's nice getting to know you. And keep smiling - it's beautiful!
That Wild About YOu...submit that to that MS contest!
or the purse with cards..no the Zoo Book.
You always brighten my day. What a darling interview, today. Your talent and knowledge is such an exciting inspiration. Always making me want to scurry in a rev up the Cricut! lol
Oh, and Have I told you (lately) how beautiful you are, sister? You're just glowing (and it is NOT a radiation glow, either!!!) And those new pearly-white-chompers are exquisite! You look SO amazing, girlfriend!
I'm so bummed I can't make it tonight. But I look forward to seeing you TONS over the next 6 months, at least!!! Hugs to you! (Ok, was this too personal of message to post on your blog? :-] )
just finished all the 3 interviews. so nice to meet the other members of your team..... you are off to a great start with your new adventure.

Great interview!! Can't believe how blessed I am to be local and get to see you all the time.
Hey Monique - great interview. I still love the Down By the Sea layout too. Reason I purchased A Child's Year cartridge. Thanks for inviting us into your world with your newly designed blog and Caring Bridge. A pleasure to know such a warm human being who's got creativity busting out of them.

Beautiful projects. Your "Down By The Sea" lo makes me wish I had the Child's Year cart. Great interview, your design team rocks.
Wonderful interview Monique! When I saw your down by the sea LO I went out and bought the ACNY cart and my SU gal had the paper too. I can see your passion for scrapbooking through in all of your work. It been great getting to know you online and wouldn't it be nice to cross paths one day Vancouver (Canada), we'd luv to have you come here :))

Loved all the videos this week. Would love to see you travel to Idaho Falls for a class. It's only a few hours from Yellowstone National Park just saying:o) Can't wait to see what you all come up with next. Take care and God Bless.
Wonderful interview!! Just like you said, I absolutely love your layouts because of all the detail you add and the way you can make patterened paper work!! I love patterened paper but at the same time it scares me to find stuff that goes well together!!

Very fun interview! Love everything you do.

These are just so pretty, best part is I have most of the cartridges, just need to find the time and motivation to use them.
Heading off on that 700km plane ride on Monday to farewell my young crafting friend at to be there to support her friends and especially her family...'twill be a hard haul I think. Prayers for Mike, Sammi(13), Emilia(6), Owen(4) and Madison(1)will be needed and appreciated.
Annette
I fell in LOVE with the Wild about you album and had to make one for my neighbor's new little boy (even though I don't know them very well!) I didn't have directions but I "winged it" and it came out awesome!
Cheryl
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!.
Hey monique, I love that Dream mini. How much do you charge for the pattern? Thanks for sharing your dreams and talents with us! Great interview with Paul. Let me guess, he's your ONLY little brother!lol
Another great interview. I'm glad you don't feel the need to open a store in the long run. I love how you keep it personal and fun even if we are so demanding of you. But if you end up doing traveling classes, will you take your fans like Oprah does? I like Hawaii!
Love the work. Question...how does one go about becoming a previewer for provo craft. That would be awesome.
Great interview. I love your favorite projects too. They are all great. Love that Wild About You! book.
What a great interview!! I'm new to your blog, but love it!!!! Have become a follower, too. I have to say, that seashore spread is just beautiful, I can see why it would be a favorite!!!!
Teri
Just found your blog and web site and sure am glad I did. I'm a new Create owner and will need the help of your kits.
How great to get to know you better :) Thank you for sharing your talents.

I just found your site. I love all the things you create. Wish I could attend one of your workshops!Thanks for the chance to win.
I love the LO's you shared. I just got A Child's Year. I can't wait to use it!
Great interview! You and Paul remind me of me with my brother Kevin. He has always told me that I am his very favorite sister.....yep, I'm his only sister! I love the projects you showed us. They are all wonderful, but that Wild About You one is just extraordinary!
Thanks for inviting us into your life!
You are quite the talent. So glad to see you doing so well and smiling and laughing. Thanks for the chance to win. Keep it up!!!
