I have loved Allison’s designs for well over a decade. I love that I can use her kits from this year and from a decade ago and they are all still just as awesome! I also recently was trying to organize my alphas and realized that Allison almost ALWAYS includes an alpha with her kits, and I absolutely love that! I love not having to go hunt for a matching alpha, because she’s already done the work for me! Yahoo!


Fast Five Allison Pennington Interview:
1: How long have you been designing and when did you find your way to The Lilypad?

Forever? It feels like forever. Since the early 00s I’ve been doing some variation of this or that.

I moved to The Lilypad in 2011? I think? (That’s crazy!)


2: When did you discover digital scrapbooking and how long after that were you inspired to start designing?

I had a custom printables business for a while, before I’d heard of digital scrapbooking. After a few years, it had to take a backseat when big life things happened (Transitioned to a full time job I had to go to in person, got divorced, etc).

I started dipping my toes in digi for fun and, well… I opened my first store in 2008


3: What is your favorite way to unwind and/or pamper yourself?

Exercise and naps, for different reasons. I'm not a very good unwinder. I don't have a lot of time for pampering so I do little things here and there - shower steamers in my favorite scents, face masks while I'm working... they have to be things I can do while I'm doing something else.

(Also I play games - I like shooting at monsters, etc )


4: Where do you find inspiration for all of your wonderful designs, especially your papers?! I've said MANY times over the year upon seeing a new kit of yours, that I would love to wallpaper my house with your papers!


This changes constantly. Sometimes (usually?) a silly title or theme will pop into my head and I go from there. I have a lot going on work-wise so I haven’t been as active here but I have a million things I’d like to get around to. My process used to be extremely rigorous but I’ve been trying to go back to my roots (winging it).

I ALSO want my own wallpaper. I want a huge, obnoxious print on one bedroom wall. The wheels are always turning in that direction.


5: Where do you design? PC vs. laptop? Couch vs. Desk? Kitchen vs. Living Room?

I have an “office” in the living room. A big girl desk and a bulletin board and 800 post its. (and stupid decor) I have a desktop PC - I've never had a laptop. Using my husband's for even a second frustrates me!
