Hey Elsie,
In the spirit of fall and Halloween, do you think you will dress up this year? As what?
Have a great day!
What is your life word? The word that defines your life. Mine is choice.
This is always a fun one, especially as an ice breaker…
What was the first music concert you attended?
I would share mine, but it is a little embarassing. I’ll wait and see is Elsie picks it.
Hello Elsie!!! Lovely picture as always.
I have a question, it is a little personal. I hope you do not get mad at me.
I miss T.J. Are you still with him?
Love, Paola
Hi Elsie
Knowing that your getting excited for halloween… my question is…
What is your favourite time of year? and why? and also how do you celebrate it?
Ok so thats 3 questions!!!
Caroline x
You are having a dinner party. You may invite 5 people, dead or alive, real or fictitous (sp?)…who do you invite and why?
If you could live in a time period other than now, what would it be?
What is your favorite halloween costume you’ve worn?
You broke into the scrapbooking industry in a big way, at a young age (I’m so proud and jealous!). Did you have a career before that? Or did you have career plans/goals that were outside of art & photography? Or did you just know that you’d have a livlihood in that area?
if you could live any day over, and change nothing, what would it be?
I love when you have these posts. Okay the question is if you were a cartoon character which one would you be and why?
Hi there!
If you would do a scrapbook of ten things that matters you the most, what would they be?
(sorry about my bad english!) 😀
do you like hedgehogs and/or gnomes?
happy monday elsie! my question: what type of halloween/fall decorations do you put out? im sure we all would love to hear about/see them :)~Dianna~
What’s your signature word? Always found in your reply to every conversation…you know…that one word that you realize you say all the time…but it’s just so perfect that it fits every day life!!
{mine is “fabulous” 🙂 }
Hey Elsie! What has influenced/inspired you the most in the last month or so? <3
If you were a flower what would you be?
Love those baby pics. She’s adorable!
Here’s my question. Your life must be pretty hectic at times with all those deadlines and stuff. What does your average working day look like and have you ever experienced times that you didn’t feel creative but had a deadline to meet?
Have fun answering your questions!
i was gonna ask what you are dressing up as but someone a coupla questions ago beat me to it…
so, variations on that:
what is cocoa going to be for halloween? 😉
or
what are you going to hang on your door for halloween?
yay, october!
My random question:
How do you get your skin to look so flawless all the time?
I’m totally jealous, by the way . . . Any secrets or tips would be great!
2 questions…
1. what is one of your most embarrassing moments? scrap or non..
and
2. what’s your best cure for a hangover?
What do you eat for breakfast?
Sometime ago you made a Lay out about a new start, after a difficult time. I´m wondering how are you doing now? On your blog everything seems fine but are you really oke?
(not interfering but seriuosly interested and hoping you are really oke)
Hugs Irene
What is your favorite cartoon when you were a kid? That’s my random questio, and as always love the pictures!
Music is a passion for you. Who/What is your ‘All-Time’ favorite music artist(s) and what song could you listen to every day all day, as in for ever and ever?
i’ve been trying to scrap some of the “darker” moments I’ve had recently… only because I feel that scrapbooking should show all parts of a person… and am so used to trying to scrap happy stuff that it’s hard to figure out the right approach. so my question is… do you scrap the bad and the good? and how do you do that when your style is so positive and fresh?
where do you get so many inspiration for your scrap? 😉
xoxo **
I’m sure this sounds very petty, and probably none of my business, but what happened to TJ? You two seemed super happy and then the next thing you say is you are going through a divorce.
Just curious…
****Any plans for a baby in your near future??*****
Elsie — do you have a nickname? If so what is it, who gave it to you and what’s the meaning behind it?
My nickname is Bump and its so fun to hear someone yell across the room — there’s bump!!!! Haaa
Love everything you’ve been doing lately, super inspiring.
much love bump
OOPS! Open mouth–insert foot!!! After my post, I read the post above me–SO SORRY–bad question!

Why did you get a divorce?
What do you usually eat for lunch? Are you an eat-at-home-girl or do you usually go out?
Hi Elsie! I love your stuff and you have inspired me so much. Incredibly, I can’t find your 52 Scrapbooking Challenges book ANYWHERE….and I want it so bad! Should have bought it the one time I have seen it!
So, do you have plans to come out with any more idea/inspiration books?
I second Jess’ comment (1:44) that is helpful inspiration for me too! My vote (doesn’t count but I’ll still vote to myself) goes to that question.

My question:
Which T.V. show premiere are you looking forward to the most this week?

And if you wouldn’t…why not?
Just wondering… 🙂
I would love to hear more about those two people who brought you into this world… are you like them? Do they love art, too?! What types of things do you do when you get together with them?!
What did your first scrapbooking l/o look like? Wear did you hear about/get started with scrapbooking?
I have a question for ya – juts last night I was skimming through some old CKs – 2005, 2006 or so. I noticed your layouts and noticed how you have changed over the years, layout-wise and I am sure your life, interests, etc. have changed too. I am your age, 24, and was wondering, how do you think your life has changed since you were 22? You have had some major life moments in the past two years – how have they impacted and changed who you are as a person now? Thanks Elsie – you are a very inspiring person for women our age! 🙂
Whatare your favorite pizza toppings?
I have a question!!
Where do you get your photos developed??
Thanks!! Marjorie
What do you want to be in your next life?
Random question:
*If you were going to host an adult Halloween party, what kind of invitation would you create to send out? ; )
Diana
Do you like painting your toe nails fun colors…if so are they painted now…what color?
Krystal
Your photos are wonderful! Which camera(s) do you use? I’m doing a little research so I’ll be set when I’m ready to get a new one.
Since it is autumn and the ‘season’, what is your favorite recipe involving fresh picked apples?
What’s in your purse?
Do you always use the same purse, or do you switch purses frequently?
coffee or tea???
How did you go from being a scrapbooker to scrapbooking designer?
I want to know how you got your start!! I know you are uber creative and multi talented, I am so jealous!! I want your job!!
How do you protect yourself from all of the negativity in the scrapbooking industry? I think must be hard for anyone who has as much material out there as you do, since we scrap our lives. It’s like peeking into our journals at times! And there are so many…haters, I guess…out there. I know you’ve talked a little about this in the past, but I’m wondering how your attitude has changed as you’ve been around for a few more years.
really important:
what is your favorite fast food?
Games? What games do ya like to play? My family loves Cranium and Trivial Pursuit. How about you and your family?
Reading your answers is going to be fun!
I’ve been wondering about TJ too!
How many times have you been outside the US?
what is your very favorite outfit you wear?
I loove how you think in your art… what motivates you to use the colors and items you use on your art?? It’s so random and I just looove it!!
I can’t wait for your new book I have totally worn out the last one!! Looove it and looove you!!
growing up were you always this creative or was it something that “clicked” as you got older?
were you always this creative growing up or was it something that “clicked” as you got older?
i love your artistic style and i think people will be naming their kids after your product lines…
anyway…heehee…here’s my question…
why does it take you so long to answer your emails??? i emailed you that i have an adorable monkey companion to send you for your ‘sock monkey’…it’s awful lonely here and wants to go!!
if you look, you’ll find my email!!!
keep having fun elsie!!
:O)
My q…What’s making you the happiest right now?
Love you chica.
Same question as last time… (hoping for a response!!!)
What is your facial regimen? Skin care, make up brands, fave fragrances…what makes you glow?!? 😉
if you could design the album cover art for any band, who would it be and what “feel” would the design have?
If you were given the choice tomorrow to live anywhere in the world for one month your only requirement is to learn the art of that culture where would it be?
What sort of enhancement did you have done to your lips? They are miles bigger than they were years ago.
Elsie, where is the one place that you feel most inspired?
I also want to say that the newest pics you took of Sophia are absolutely breathtaking! TFS!
I know i’m late!! Maybe you didn’t pick yet.
* Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
* Where are you heading next in the business world?
* Where did you get where you were? What started this amazingly exciting path your on right now?
Thanks for posting. I love reading about your adventures.
Jenipher
You are just so dang cute! You really have a unique “look”. My question is how do you get that look in your pics? Also… what is the one food you could not live without?
Have you ever been to IKEA? If so… what’s the verdict? Love it or hate? 😀
Peace out, Miss Cupcakeface. /

What television show was your favourite when you were a little kid? Like about 5 or 6 years old.
I live in Belgium, so I probably won’t know the show you come up with, but I know it’s a lot of fun to find all of the children’s show with your friends, it’s weird how much you’ve already forgot! I liked the carebears, the smurfs (with is Belgian btw) and off course Samson en Gert (which you probably don’t know)
Love, Anika
If someone was to look at something and go that is so Elise what would that one or lots of things be? For me it’s anything ugly or with scottish terriers on it. Strange I tell them if they think its ugly I will like it.

Hi Elsie! I read on your blog that you went through a divorce – do you still have the albums that contain the time of your marriage; or did you get rid of them? How do you approach keeping hold of things like that when life changes so dramatically?
Also, can I just say, I am so impressed with your sunshiney attitude during times of grey. It may not be how you are feeling, but I admire your disposition!
You always get the best pics! OK so the ? I have is what is it like to live a day in your life? Is it exciting, fun, adventerous? Tell us a little bit about your day to day life that we don’t see!

You have such a fun attitude Elsie, love coming to check your blog out often! 🙂
Hi Elsie

Hey E!! I absolutly love the baby photos. I may think about doing something like this with my next baby. My husband is from a farmimg family. Might as well embrace it right? My question is kind of silly. I think of my life as a cartoon. Especially when I’m at work!! If your life was a cartoon what would it be about and what kind would it be.
Hmmm… funny questions… okay, what is the strangest product you have used on a scrapbooking page?
xoox
Lain

What topic(s) do you consider “off-limits” for scrapping? Things you would never want to put on a page. Sex? Death? Addiction? Arguments?
LOVE your BLOG!
I would love to know more about how you got your start in what you do now, what mentors you had, what practical business and personal advice you received etc etc.
Also – since I am a pug owner – I would love to see more pictures about Cocoa and here about her! Like – how old is she? where did you get her? why did you pick the name Cocoa? My Puggie’s name has an INTERESTING history. You said your family own’s Pugs -are they all black pugs?
