Please join the Come On Get Crafty team in extending a warm welcome to our Friday Featured Guest, Julie Weis, to the blog today.

Hi! My name is Julie Weis and I am so excited and honored to be featured today. My husband and I live in the beautiful state of Kentucky with our awesomely unique 17 year old son, Jake and he is most often the inspiration for my pages. I began scrapbooking in 2000 when a friend invited me to a Creative Memories party. Since then I have had many styles. But when I look back, I love them all. Something that has not changed is the fact that I rarely use a sketch. So I never know exactly what my page will look like until the very end.

My other interests include: sewing, quilting, knitting and very amateur photography.

For some added fun, we had Julie answer a few questions:

1. My favorite manufacturer is:

Wow, this is a hard question because I love so many and I love mixing different manufacturers on the same page. But I can tell you that right at this moment my faves are Glitz Design and Maggie Holmes for Crate paper. Their CHA 2013 releases are amazing and they mix so well together. I also love Studio Calico, Amy Tan's lines, Freckled Fawn wood veneers, all of Evalicious stamps, Basic Grey and Allison Kreft's Sweet Notes line for Websters Pages.

2. My three must have items when I create:

Easy! ;) The Silhouette Cameo, foam adhesives / pop dots, mist and stamps. Ok not so easy. I had to have four.

3. My favorite time to create:

My first answer is late at night when it is quiet. My second answer is when my house is clean and my hubby is out of town. Now when all three of those line up, I'm in creative heaven. lol!

4. I'd love an all expense paid trip to:

I love history and especially biblical history. I have a passion for putting together what was going on in the world during both the old and new testament times. So JD and I are finally at a place in our lives where we can take a 'trip of a lifetime" to Israel, Greece and Rome. There will be two biblical scholars leading the trip and teaching us along the way. The only thing that would make it better is if it were all expenses paid.

Here's Julie's favorite layout:
