    Paula, please tell us a little bit about yourself.

    Hello! My name is Paula, and here's a little about myself in the design world.

    How long have you been designing?

    I've been involved in paper scrapbooking for many years. In May 2006, I made the leap to digital scrapbooking and have been passionate about it ever since.

    Since the passing of my beloved dog Stella in September last year, my creative focus has been off. It's as if a piece of my inspiration went with her. I found myself engulfed in deep mourning through December, a period during which my creativity seemed to pause. However, I've made a vow to myself this year: to return to crafting incredible kits and diligently work towards reigniting my creative spark—essentially, to get my mojo back.

    How do you come up with your color palette or theme for your kits?

    I'm not a huge fan of the whole color palette thing, but often, an illustration catches my eye, and I try to match the colors from it in a new kit. As for themes, I usually follow the most significant events of each month or season.

    What are your go-to snacks or music while designing?

    I love apple juice and snacking on any tasty treats like chocolate or anything that's unfortunately fattening! LOL. I rarely listen to music, but I always listen to my favorite preacher on YouTube talking about some topic or praying the rosary. It calms me!

    Show us a few of your favorite products.

    I've gone through phases where ephemera were my favorites, then watercolors, and now I'm in a phase of love collection with themes like "Winnie the Pooh."​

    What is the favorite page that you have scrapped?

    My favorite is now the one I created for last year's MOC, at a time when I couldn't even imagine that I would lose her...​

    But the one that always was my favorite was this:​

    I have been with Paula's CT since at least August 2018 and what drew me to her products was her wonderful ephemera. To me it always reminded me of going to my Grandmother's and opening up a draw to find many of the ephemera elements Paula reflects in her products. The vintage and retro papers and elements really speak to me and coordinate so well in my love for making Heritage pages. In addition, Paula has some great Photoshop styles and actions to accent her product line, along with Commercial Use product. Her Alphas and watercolor paint items are the perfect additions to all of our pages.

    Here are a few of my favorite pages made with Paula's products:

    Well, thank you for this kick in the butt to FINALLY use my Oh, Bother! Bundle that I got back in December. Funny thing: this poem showed up in my Facebook feed this morning. I had never read it before, and thought "Oh, I need to scrap that!" - then I went here, and saw Paula was today's designer. I do not believe in coincidences! Here's my layout:

    Checked my gallery, and it seems Paula's design makes me wanna scrap about my son. Here are a few older layouts I've made:

    I'm in love with Paula's Oh Bother! collection, and created a childhood memories page with it today. I like to use old notebooks with my childhood memories journaling, and found a lovely set in Paula's store to add to my stash.

    @paula kesselring Thank you for the freebie!
    Like Christa, I've been on Paula's creative team since 2018. Her products are always so fun to create with. Her watercolors are stunning. And I'm always a fan of her ephemera, I often pair them with a heritage photo.

    Here are a few of my more recent layouts using Paula's products:
