Welcome to a new Member Monday with Larissa Albernaz as our hostess. For this week's Layout of the Week she chose the layout below by Anabelle O'Malley.

"All Wrapped Up by Anabelle O'Malley
"This is my DS and niece rolling around in the Christmas paper at BIL's house. He goes crazy with the gifts and there's paper everywhere. They were having so much fun. I used some SEI, Cosmo and Crate Christmas goodies on here. The crystals are all Zva."

Read on to learn more about Anabelle in this little interview.

1. How long have you been scrapping? What got you started? I started scrapping back in 2001 when my cousin invited me to a Creative Memories crop. I've been an addict ever since.

2. Where do you like to get your inspiration? I am inspired by so many things around me . . . the foyer decorations at Target, my sons' Christmas sweaters, online galleries and blogs, print ads. Whatever catches my eye!

3. What are some of your favorite techniques to use on a project? I love techniques and am always on the hunt for a new one. Right now, I like large embellishments with bright colors and a lot of texture.

4. Do you have any snacks you like to eat or tunes you like to have playing when you scrap? While scrapping I drink LOTS of coffee mixed with whatever flavor coffee creamer has been released for the season. My flavors this week are Peppermint Mocha and Eggnog. Mmmmm!!!

5. Do you have any other hobbies other than scrapping? Nope. I barely have time for this hobby. I do love to cook, so that might count. I collect cookbooks. Other than that, my time is spent at work, running Ryan from place to place, spending time with my family and every once in a while, cleaning.
