Design Team Member Spotlight: Janaina Oliveira
Where are you from?
Originally from Brazil, but now I live in New Jersey.

What is the name and link to your blog?
2 Worlds http://2worldswings.blogspot.com

What is your day job?
Right now it is being a mom, as my son is now 6 months old, but before I was working as a Administrative/Accounting Assistant.

What fad of scrapbooking did you never get into?
Doodling. I just can't do it. I'm not into very heavy embellished pages, too artsy. I think they are pretty, but that's not my objective on layouts. I leave my artsy side for digital scrapbooking or mini albums.

What do you feel is the biggest waste of time in scrapbooking?
When we think too much about " the perfect page" is a waste of time, what matters is to tell the story of your life.

What would you call your scrapbook style?
I don't know, but I like simple pages that concentrate more on the photo and journaling. Very few layouts of mine do not have journaling, just if I'm going to display them. I like to use few embellishments to give the right touch so it doesn't get too full of "stuff" on my page.

What item will we always find on your projects?
I think design paper and journaling blocks .

What sparks your creativity when you are scrapbooking?
The photo itself; the colors on it. I also like sketches if I am feeling few ideas. I always end up changing them completely, but they do help me sometimes to get started.

What is your favorite layout of all time and why?
I don't have just one, but this one in particular I love so much that I framed it in my house. I love it because it symbolizes that now we are family in my home. Me and my husband are together in this mission to raise this little boy and it makes me remember those first moments with him at home.
