Behind the Design: Valorie Wibbens

Hi all!  Polly Jewelle here with an exciting new series we will be doing on the blog.  With a little bit of pleading and maybe a few brides we got the designers here at the LilyPad to agree to show off their design spaces at home.  They also agreed to answer a few questions about their design space that will allow us to get to know them better.  I’m super pumped to find out more about our designers, how about you?!  This month we are going behind the designs of

I hope you have enjoyed this little peek in Valorie’s workspace!  Stay tuned next month for a peek into another designer’s space!

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
