I just wanted to have a page where I could collect all the questions I get asked often so I could have one place to point people to. You can always ask me more or different questions. I will do my very best to answer!
- What is your name? Karen or Karenika?
My name is Karen. I go by Karenika online because it’s unique and so always available as a user name. My parents call me Karenika as it’s a diminutive. Everyone else calls me Karen. - I’d like to link to your blog, do you have a badge?
Thank you so much, that is so kind of you. Yes, I have one and you can see it on the left side of my page. Here’s the code for it:<a href=”http://www.karenika.com”><img src=”http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn127/karenika1/karenika_button.jpg”></a>
If you copy that exactly it should work. You can always email me if it doesn’t seem to work for you. Thanks again! - What kind of camera do you use?
Over the course of publishing at karenika.com, I’ve had many different cameras. My current one is a Canon EOS 5D Mark II. - What lenses do you use?
The lens I use most of the time is the 85mm 1.8 Canon lens. If I need a slightly wider angle, I will use the Canon 50mm 1.8.Here are three others lenses I have that I use occasionally: Canon 17-40 4.0, Canon 70-200 4.0, and Canon 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro.
- How do you make those journaling lines on your layouts?
I found an old journaling stamp and cut out the middle. This post has a photo and explanation of what I did. I am confident that you can look at journaling spots you have at hand and make something that works for you. I wanted something with small, close-up lines. - Where can I find your videos on photography?

I just found your blog from Little Yellow Bicycle and have subscribed now. I love the ATC truth cards and will try to make some myself. Thanks.
thank you so much for your kind words
I really appreciate your blog. All that you share is so inspirational. Thank you.
I noted that the URL for your badge shows only 2 ww’s and wonder if that is a typo?
Thx.
thank you so much for letting me know. i fixed it!!
and thank you for the kind words 
Your blog is my favorite of all time! I love you’re doing so many projects on top of your busy life! When I grow up I wanna be like you! A little bit late for that, but still…
I wanted to point out that your quick links on the left side bar, under “Books”, is not pointing to the right place. I was expecting to see all your books reviews, but they’re some scrapbook layouts.
A question – do you use any plug-in for your galleries? I love your galleries and how they point back to the original post. I searched up and down the past two days in wordpress but couldn’t find a good plugin for it. The most popular wp gallery – nextgen gallery doesn’t link back to the original posts.
Thanks!
Hi Karen
I just read your post over at Balzer Designs (this one: http://balzerdesigns.typepad.com/balzer_designs/2011/11/art-journal-every-day-discovering-her-style.html#comment-6a00d8341c766153ef017ee3ed0ea4970d), and you talk about loose leaf pages. I was wondering if you have any posts about how you organise your loose pages and how you put them together in the end? I feel like for me, loose leaf pages are what I need, but I don’t know how to manage them once I’ve got a stack! Thanks for any help or ideas you can share!!
I glue them down in my Moleskine notebooks. See this post: http://www.karenika.com/archives/20143 and http://www.karenika.com/archives/22520 hope that helps!!
