Hello, my name is Autumn Baldwin.

I am 34 years old and married with five kids.

I have been scrapbooking for about nine years.

I started because I had to spend two months in the hospital when I was pregnant with my twins and scrapbooking was a great way to pass the time. By the time I got home I was hooked.

I generally scrapbook in spurts (my husband says I binge scrapbook), so maybe I'll scrapbook every day for a week, and then not scrapbook at all for two weeks after that. I find the time by doing all my housework/errands/etc. while my little kids are awake, and saving their naptime for my hobbies.

I find I am most often inspired to make a page because I have a story I want to tell.

One of my go-to techniques is: computer journaling/titles.

I could NOT scrapbook without: my computer.

What was the last page you created about? The fact that my kids can eat a 40oz. box of Honey Nut Cheerios in less than a week.

What page size do you generally scrap? I always create 8 1/2" x 11" pages. I love the graphic look of magazines, so I prefer to stick with that look and size on my own pages. Plus I find it more convenient to store layouts in any binder I choose instead of finding 12" x 12" binders.

Do you prefer single or double layouts, why? I do some of both. I like the look of double layouts in my albums, and I used to only do two pagers, but sometimes the story I want to tell and the photos I want to use only warrant one page - so I've decided either one is ok.

What kind of camera do you use? Canon 50d.

What photo software do your use? I generally do photo editing in Photoshop Elements, but I also use iPhoto (on my Mac). You can still do quite a lot of work on a photo with these more basic programs.
