  • What's your favorite color?
  • Hah, this is an easy question: black! I use it on every single page together with others of course - colors are a great source of inspiration and main element of any creative project, but I feel that black is special to me: no matter in what way - as embellishment, background, stamping, paint drops, photo - there has to be something black!
  • What is your favorite Prima product ever?
  • I've got 3 favorites: trinkets of all kinds - as I love metal findings, background stamps, which I use over and over again and everything made from canvas: resist elements, canvas sheets, album or book covers, flowers, page elements.

  • What is your favorite thing about your country? My favorite thing about my country Norway is not nature that everyone is so impressed or how well we do in especially winter sports ... What I'm most proud of is actually the people. We have a reputation for being cool and cold, but just see how our country reacted to the terrorist act- July 22th 2011. No promises of revenge ... we were angry, but mostly sad. Very very sad .. But we stood together and showed our grief by caring for each other. I love my country!
     
  • What is your favorite movie? My favorite movies are simply  "Hang Over" 1 & 2. Along with "Bridesmaids". They are really my kind of movies where I can just relax and laugh so much that the tears flow and I almost cannot breathe :-D

  • What is one food you cannot eat? APPLESAUCE. Blech, it is too sweet, and for a fruit, it's too saucy, and the texture, well... I JUST CAN'T eat it, lol.

  • If you could go on vacation anywhere in the world where would you go? Fiji Islands. Yep, where the water is sooo blue and clear, its warm and you can stay in cabanas without walls or windows. One day I will make it there, I swear!

  • What music do you listen to when you scrap? Right now I am pretty much obsessed with Phillip Phillips who won this season of American Idol.  I cannot WAIT for him to release an album!  Until then, I purchased quite a few of his songs they recorded for the show.  I love singer/songwriter type of music....so that is what you will typically find playing in the background while I am creating.
  • If you could go on vacation anywhere in the world where would you go? I want to travel to Australia so bad, I can taste it!!  My husband and I both feel this way, and we have our dream vacation basically planned out!  We want to go to Australia over the Australian Open, take in some good tennis, and just explore the amazing country and all it has to share!!  One day, we will take that dream vacation...I just know it!!
