inquiring minds want to know...


Okay. I'm a snack lover. It shows in my waistline (among other places), and it's pretty bad when I can call a few snacks a meal - and not a very good example to the kids either! So, I have a question for you; but I'll get to that in a minute.
My new friend, Wilna - you might know her as the first and most fabulous MM Idol, has asked me to help her in an awsome RAK she is doing. She needs you to answer a question - in the form of a comment on MY blog. Then, to be eligible for the RAK, she needs you to visit some other blogs and leave comments there too. Here is her blog: Wilna, so you can see what else you need to do!

So, now to the question you need to answer: "What is your all time favorite scrapping snack?" If you care to elaborate on your answer, feel free to!

The layout posted above is all about one of my son's favorite summer time snacks. It's just something you have to eat in the hot summer heat and everything about it is appealing - the intense color, the refreshing cool down in your mouth, and the blast of fruity flavor...yummm.

Hi there Joey, so happy to start this off!

I generally don't snack while scrapping - scared of messing up my pages! I do very often have a cup of hot Rooibos tea on my desk. And if I am in the snacking mood, 2 minutes and I have hot popcorn by my side. I tend to eat it all in one go while working on my creative process!

Love this layout too!

Hi Joey!

I loooove coffee, especially with loads of creamer. Hubby says I really want melted coffee flavored ice-cream... I can dig that!

I definitely need something to sip while I'm working, though.

Grins,

My favorite scrapbooking snack is Doves Dark Chocolate pieces. I tend to run back and forths to get some of these. Other than that I don't eat much while scrapping. I made a rule never to have snacks and drinks by my table-had an accident once.

Congrats on making it this far in MM Idol-good luck.

Kimberly White said...

First of all, thanks for sharing your beautiful layout!

And for my favorite scrapping snack ... cut up apples, cheddar cheese and crackers. (Potatoe chips are also a favorite but aren't quite as healthy, plus the grease on my fingers isn't good either!)

I wish you success in all your dreams! Kim

Kimber-Leigh said...

i don't really snack while scrapping but i always snack before i scrap!!! one of my favorites is nutella on graham crackers with a cup of milk...yum!

best wishes to you in the final round of competition...can't wait to see what you come up with!

Kirsten said...

Congrats! And that layout is just so happy - love the colors.
My favorite snack while scrapping...don't usually snack while I scrap, but I do have a stash of Trader Joe's dark chocolate bars...and of course a glass of iced tea.

Vanda said...

Hi Joey, I've been following the MMidol contest and seen the amazing stuff everyone has been creating. Very well done on getting into the top 3 ~ wow!!

Scrapping food? Just lately it has been cadbury cream eggs, I love them. Good job most of my scrapping is digi otherwise I think I would get in a bit of a mess lol. Me & my husband made a new years resolution to make time to go on a walk evry Saturday morning so I'm hoping that the exercise is counter acting the calories lol.

Best of luck with the MMidol contest hun and that snow cone LO is fantastic!! Vanda xXx

DeniseLynn said...

I don't usually eat while working because of messy fingers and all but M&M's are always good. You know what they say They melt in your mouth and not on your hands!

Jody said...

How fun is this little 'scavenger hunt'?! I loved looking through your blog. As for my favorite scrapping snack- that's {good} dark chocolate. In small pieces...like Dove truffles that I keep in a jar on my bookshelf. Just the inspiration I need in the scraproom sometimes! =) Have fun making stuff. ~Jody Ferlaak

Anna-Marie Still said...

Elsie recently turned me onto Sour Patch kids!

In the morning I need coffee from my favorite coffe shop and afternoons you'll find me with some green ice tea!

kerry lynn said...

chocolate.

chocolate.
and a diet dr pepper
can't forget that!

kaylaaimee said...

well it was M&M's....until I accidentally glued an M&M to a layout thinking it was a button. ANd that other time when an M&M fell into my really expensive printer and messed it up. I don't really eat while I'm scrapping anymore. I'd have to say I just drink lots of cream soda!

KA- kayla aimee

KellieD said...

I really like the unique flower you created on your page - just like every child is special & unique. The brads at the bottom sure add a fun feel to the page too.

Favorite scrapbook snack - strawberry licorice. Quick & simple so I can get back to playing!

Anonymous said...

It's strange.. I snack A LOT at work, but not at home when I'm scrapbooking.
My favorite snackie are Cheez-its!
Congrats on making it to the final 3 - your work is wonderful!

me..... said...

Hi there. Love all the little circle thingies on your layout. I don't really have time for scrapping at the moment but I check out all Wilnas friends scrapping blogs and while I check them I snack on hot chocolate..

Gigi said...

congrats on the contest & good luck!!! your work is so very cool....

& my fave scrappy snack...hmmmm...i'll say m & ms. they don't leave greasy marks on the paper like chips...lol!!

longnecklady said...

Peanut M & M"s. If they were all pink, that would even be more fantastic!

xoxo~

Rosalie said...

I try not to snack while scrapbooking but if I have a desperate craving...especially for chocolate I have a stash of M&Ms hidden in one of my drawers.

Love the snowcone LO. Good luck in the final Idol round. I have to say I am not a scrappin snacker..too messy for me, however I am known to take food breaks for pizza and of course chocolate, but I have to say I can scrap for hours without eating....odd I can't do anything else for 30 minutes without eating!!

Hi there! FAB page!!

Chris Millar said...

Hi Joey! Hope your stress levels are ok this week!! Best of luck! This page is gorgeous!!!

Ok, my snack might sound a little weird, but it's my favourite. I love 'choc chips'! The kind you use in cooking (for choc chip muffins etc.) I just love snacking on those!LOL

Have a super weekend!

I'm here for the first time from Wilna's blog. And I love the layout.

Okay, my favorite scrapbooking snack is not a snack but a drink. I never snack while I am scrapping, but I do love to have my tea or coffee as I start out. It kind of puts me right into the mood. In fact, I even documented that in a layout that you can see here:

Roslyn said...

Hi all...Wilna sure gets people moving!!
I don't usually snack while scrapping, but often drink tea.
I sometimes will have a bit of good dark chocolate with it.

Dettao said...

Cute layout. My girls love snow cones. It was our Friday afternoon ritual every week during the summer when they were small. I don't snack when I scrap, either. I do always have a diet Dr Pepper, though.

Lori B said...

My favorite snack while scrappin' is Junior Mints!! I just have to be VERY careful not to mess up my pages!!

Congratulations on the top 3 for MM Idol!!

You are so cool to play along!

my favourite scrapping snack is Lay's dill pickle chips and the absolute must have is PEPSI!

Anonymous said...

This RAK of Wilna's is great...it lead me to you! Love your art! As for my favorite yums when scrapping, I have to admit that Nestles Semi-Sweet chocolate chips are pretty awesome (right out of the bag along side a tall glass of milk).

Lisa C. said...

So easy...M&M's! =)

Great looking layout, btw. Love your style. Good luck!!

Emine_Pala_Art_22 said...

Ow I love to eat while I'm scrapping... I guess it is chocolate (yes, you can see I ate them on my layouts LOL)

Good luck with the mm contest...

Juel said...

Boy my scrapbooking snacks have changed lately!!!

Use to be redvines and m&m's. Now because of the need of lowering my sugar intake my favorites are nuts and usually rice/corn chex.

Carolyn said...

I must have my peanut M & M's while scrapping. Love them! Plus they don't melt in your hands. LOL

good luck with the MM Idol contest.

Colors of Me said...

Great work!! Love it!! And oh yeah, my favorite scrappin' snack would be chocolate!!! Any kind, any shape, almost any filling! I used to scrap with a friend who's Mom worked at Godiva!! WOW talk about a chocolate fix!!

Unknown said...

Love your winning layout.
My snack of late since I just re discovered them in the stores and hadn't been able to find them for a few years would be Kraft Caramels!

Rita said...

Hi Joey! Great layout!

Hmmmm...snacks...well, I don't really snack much while scrapping unless I'm with a group...then it would have to be M&Ms or trail mix.

I do usually have a Diet Coke or a big glass of water at my table though!

Good luck with MM Idol!

I don't snack when scrapbooking.....I am too focused. I supposed I often take a break for coffee or chocolate!

Ooohhhh--I want some of everyone else's snacks. They all sound good.

The truth is, I am such a klutz I usually just keep a bottle of water nearby and pray I won't spill. But if I do snack it's usually a couple of chocolate pieces. I like those little Hershey snack pieces (Mr. Goodbar).

WendyG said...

for the summer definately rootbeer popsicles...lol

Lisa said...

Hmmm, believe it or not, I don't scrap...but I sure love to see what all you gals can come up with! Now I wish I could say that I don't snack either...but wow I'm a snacker...

Worst snack...chips...love them! Love salty snacks of pretty much any kind.

Looking forward to see more of your work up ahead Joey! Great job so far!

M-n-m's, all the way! At a late night crop, have you ever heard the sound of a bunch of m's being poured out onto the table or in a cup? Music to my ears! And a Diet Coke.

Jacqui Bourne said...

Hi Joey, congrats on getting to the top 3 in the MM idol contest!!! I'd have to say a nice cup of coffee and yummy chocolate.
Can't wait to see your next creation!!

Yizz said...

What a lovely LO, I just love those circles.

I am a snack eater too, prefering them to meals. I dont tend to snack while scrapping but my fav has got to be crisps, and that too shows on my waistline. When I was dieting I managed to loose a stone just by refusing to buy crisps and have them in the house. Mind it was really hard going cold turkey and the weight soon went back on again when I fell off the wagon LOL

caro said...

Hey Joey!

You make it look super-easy!
Love the way you tied the cardstock together with hand-stitching & the trendy colour scheme. But mostly - your design captured the essence of the age, expression and attitide of Hanna - do you even know her???

Well done.

For me: Snack = Chocolate

LOL from South Africa

albenton said...

Hi! My favorite scrapping snack is some club crackers with cheddar cheese slices...and a glass of milk! Weird, I know, but very inspiring to me! Haha! Good luck on MM Idol & I hope you have a beautifully wonderful day!

sharma said...

your work is stunning and i wish you well in the competition. FAvourite snack is chocolate...preferably ferrero roche, but any other cadburys chocolate with nuts in it will do!

serendscrappity said...

I have to have a mug of Nescafe coffee and a handful of jelly babies to feel totally scrapified.

All the best of luck

Natasha

Theresa Tyree said...

Hi Joey!
My favorite scrapbook snack is Popcorn and Pepsi!
Best wishes to you on your journey on the MM Idol contest! I'll be watching for ya next week!!

Kelly said...

Definately coffee...always have coffee.
If it has to be a food then it is usually m&m's. The plain chocolate ones. In a big bowl. Grab one at a time in between cutting and glueing!!

Unknown said...

good morning!

priyasvenkat said...

Hi Joey, Congratulations to you and Best of Luck for the next round. My fav scrapping scack is M & M's. I eat them with a spoon so that I dont get the colors on my fingertips, and my pages stay fingerprint free. Priya

Beth said...

Chocolate is always a good snack for scrapping but i don't normally snack. sometimes i have biscuits or crisps. Anything i eat eat with one hand.

Adele said...

Hi Joey- what a fun layout.

My fave scrapbooking snack would have to be either jellybeans, or smarties (our South African version of m&m's). Both of which I can snack with one hand while scrap with the other...

Sara said...

Popcorn! I have to it to scrapbook. Something about the salt...

Nakira said...

Good luck in the next round of MM Idol. My favorite snack to nibble on while scrapbooking are UTZ ripple sour cream and onion chips. I can eat the whole bag which is one gazillion calories...I dare not even look.

Misty said...

I love to snack on sour patch kids while scrapping. I don't know why - just love em! I eat the red and orange ones first and leave the green and yellow last.

Sharon said...

I love crunchy foods, like pretzels, they are not greasy so it doen;t get on the pages.
Of course if it is break time, I like nuts, chocolate (any kind, thank-you) and fruit.
And COFFEE

Julie Cortens said...

Great layout ~ fun! Scrapping snack..hmm thats a hard one - but usually decaf coffee and I have these visions of it spilling all over my stuff - hasn't happened yet! :)

Jill said...

LOVE the LO you posted today!!

My favorite scrapping snack is m and m's....they don't get my fingers messy AND they are chocolate...my two requirements for a scrapping snack! :)

Thanks!
Jill

Kelly Fowler said...

hmmmm scrapping snacks - Reese's Pieces!

Anonymous said...

Hey Joey. Good luck in the next round.

My favorite scrapbooking snack would have to be a can of coke or pepsi. I guess its not really a snack but it keeps me going and I get a lot done as long as I have one. It also prevents my fingers from getting greasy and wrecking my pages lol.

Pamela Posch said...

I loved your last project for the MM idol! Good luck on the next round.

Unknown said...

Kathy said...

Congrats Joey,
My favorite all time scrapping snack is M&M's. Easy to eat while cropping and not messy. Popcorn is next but can make some messy hands.
Thanks,
Kathy

Debbie said...

Hi Joey! Wilna sent me. My favorite is Cheddar ChexMix!

Unknown said...

wow! what an awesome time we had! good luck for this last week!
Smiles!

Andrea Wiebe said...

i'm so not a scrap-snacker!!! too messy :) but i love to drink diet pepsi or chamomile tea!!! have a great evening!!!

Teresa Gamboa said...

I love this layout and a snow cone is also one of my favorite summertime snacks. I also love to snack while I scrapbook. I prefer twislers licorice. I like it because 1. it is delicious 2. it is not messy and 3. you can stick two in your mouth like a cigarette (not that I smoke) and after you finish chewing you can just suck in a little more...hands free. because they are busy scrapbooking.
