Gotta Pixel is having a Back to School Blog Train, and I’m excited to be a part of it! A blog train is a group of blogs who get together to provide you with a little freebie and when you’re done with one blog, you follow the link to the next blog to get the next freebie. It’s a wonderful opportunity for you to meet new designers, see what sales or new releases are out there and to get to know the designers better!

The Gotta Pixel designers got together and used the same color swatch for the Back to School Blog Train so you’ll be able to mix and match what you pick up on the blog train and have it coordinate!

Here is my contribution

This new set of templates were inspired by Mycau. I was captivated by her fresh modern gallery and awesome use of white space! Mycau started as a guest on my team and we are having so much fun together she is staying with us!!

Here is a preview of the templates along with the originals You can grab these now Here at 35% Off until July 31st

Here are some Layouts my team have made using the templates

Now Let’s meet Mycau!!

You can view Mycaus Gallery Here

I chatted to Mycau and here is what she has to share with you!

Tell us about where you live and your daily routine? Well, I live in the suburb of Montreal, in Canada. I have a little apartment, and I live by myself. I love my freedom! I do have a full-time job as a banker, and I hate to say it, but I really have a daily routine! LOL I work the evening shifts, so I normally get up around 10AM, and as soon as I am up, I open my computer! LOL I will go through my e-mail, and all my CT duties. Check if there are new kits to play with, take care of everything that needs to be done that are not layout related! Then, I leave for work and I am not back until almost midnight. I do another quick little check up on my CTs, and then, if mojo allows, I will then work on my LOs!

How would your friends describe you? They’d probably say that I am a very reserved individual. Surprisingly, I really don’t talk much, which is the complete opposite of how I am online… LOL I tend to listen more than I actually talk! Out of all my closest friends, I think it is right to say that I am the most grounded one. And they would probably say that I am a very honest, generous and caring person. If you have me on your good side, I would actually do ANYTHING for you! =)

How did you get involved with Digital Scrapbooking, did you Paper Scrap first? I actually never really paper scrapped before, appart from a couple of pages… Never finished an album! It was actually for my mother that I tried, but really… I don’t have the patience for it! When it comes to digiscrapping… Well, it all started out with an online site called Glogster. It has nothing really to do with digiscrap… It’s kinda hard to explain, but it really is a good way for expressing yourself through images, music, graphics… Anyways! I was searching for new graphics to use for my stuff there, and that is where I found Digital Scrapbooking Supplies… And eventually found the community… And I was hooked. I have never been to that other site ever again! LOL I have now been digiscrapping for a little over a year! =)

How often do you Scrap and how much time do you spend on your computer!? … I am kinda shy to say! When I think about it, it is a shame that I have lost so many hours on that little machine! LOL I could spend HOURS on the computer… And I can not get enough of it!! I really can not count… Sometimes, I have NOTHING to do. No mojo, no CT duties, no more challenges to take part in… And I am just bored. I find myself just jumping from site to site doing nothing at all!! Ridiculous! LOL

What is your favourite scrapping subject? I have to say my little nephew. He is such a cutie, plus I have so many pictures of him that I can use for a lot of different subject! I do scrap a lot using my friend’s kids picture too. Having no kids myself, it makes it that much easier for me to scrap! I find it really hard scrapping for myself, or my actual friends… I find we are all too old for the cute little kits around! HAHA

What other hobbies do you have besides scrapbooking? I must say that I am FREAK when it comes to Hockey! I am Canadian after all…!! So during winter time, I will watch a lot of that on TV! I also read a lot! I love reading.. It’s a way for me to let my imagination travel! I love fantasy books! And last but not least… Traveling. Traveling is an obsession for me. I’d go EVERYWHERE if I could!! I consider myself lucky that I was able to travel as much as I did so far!

What is your workspace like where you create your Scrapbooking layouts? I don’t really have a working place. I have a laptop, and I normally just sit on the couch, in front of the TV or listening to music… And I scrap! I don’t have a computer desk… I really can not wait to buy a computer… My laptop won’t really support Photoshop… I wish I would design, but I won’t be able to do so until I have the equipment, right?! LOL

Link us up to your favourite layout and tell us why you love it!? OMG… That is TOO hard. I have so many of them that I like… I think I’ll have to say this one:

The reason why I picked it is probably because it is one of the best memory that I have with my mother. We went on a trip together in Mexico, back in 2009. My mother normally won’t allow us to take picture of her, but this time it was different. We were walking on the beach, and I am so happy that I was able to take these shots. I thought she looked amazing, and so confident in herself… It made me realize how much I love that woman and how good of a role model she has always been for me. It might not be the best looking LO, but it sure touches my heart the most! =)

Do you blog? If so hook us up with your blog address! Of course I do! =) http://mycauscrap.blogspot.com

Your favourite five random things beginning with R!!? This might sound really cheesy, but the first word that came to my mind was RACHEL! Then… Rollercoaster, Robert Pattinson (hihi), Raspberry & Reese’s Pieces!! Miam! =)

Now you can see why I love Mycau so much lol! Hope you enjoyed reading and love the templates!

See you soon Rachel
