Today we're totally crushing on Kim Jensen

Newsletter Sign-up | Store | Facebook | Blog

I'm super excited to be behind the scenes as a cheerleader for our amazing designers. Today is all about Kim Jensen Designs. If you haven't had the pleasure of playing with her products, then what are you waiting for?! Head over to her store here and pick yourself up something. Kim has an eye for color, pattern and whimsy. Her designs are versatile and can be used for a ton of different styles.

Her whimsical & unique elements add a special touch to every page. Like these I found in her gallery.


Don't take my word, you can see for yourself. See her products in action in her designer gallery.

Kim's hard-to-resist designs draw you in at first glance. Much like her January 2023 BYOC offering: Hopefulness Bundle. Gorgeous patterns, fun unique alphas, the mix of flat & realistic elements, and all of the word bits create a well-rounded bundle full of not only hope but functional designs perfect for your next project.


Kim is so generously giving away a great Newsletter Freebie. Sign Up HERE if you aren't already subscribed to her newsletter. (or click the image)




For Love Our Designers today, I chose to use Kim Jensen's Eclectic Autumn | I just couldn't stop looking at the unique flowers and those dreamy colors.


Kim also hosts a monthly designer challenge and February is all about BINGO!



I love learning about designers and their creative process so I had the chance to ask Kim some questions about hers.
Let's see what she had to say:

Q&A:
1. Considering designers are working so hard to give us all the amazing things to document our memories when was the last time YOU had time to scrap your own memories? How often do you get to scrap?
a. I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't scrapped in over 3 years. Some of it is my kids getting older and me not feeling like their stories are mine to tell. Some of it is that with having a day job now, my time and energy is more limited. And the biggest factor is that if I do have time to be in Photoshop, that time is spent designing. I do get a great deal of creative satisfaction from designing, but I think I need to set set myself a very small scrapping goal for this year as I really would like to get back into it.

2. During your creative process do you dig your heels in and tune out the world -or- do you work at your leisure coming & going when inspiration strikes?
a. Usually I'm head down, working hard to meet a deadline for days at a time, and then not wanting to even look at my computer for days after that. I wish I was able to maintain a healthier balance, but I seem to need the adrenaline of a deadline to get things going.

3. Quiet creative or Chaotic creative: do you tend to work best with the least distractions and noise -or- are there a million things going on around you, TV/music etc..?
a. Definitely quiet. If there is too much else going on around me (open floor plan, my "office" is in our family room), I will put on instrumental pop or classical music to help mask out the distractions.

4. If tomorrow you woke up and couldn't create anymore, what job would you be doing?
a. That's a very difficult question to answer. My other job (coffee shop) is very physical, very fast-paced, and very social. I truly enjoy it, but it takes a lot out of me. If I had to pick up another job that wasn't on the creative side, I would probably want to do something more introverty and analytical to help balance things out, but I'm not sure what that would be. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering but haven't worked in the field since 2001, so it's hard to imagine going back to that. Technology has changed so much!

Kim's store is on sale today. So it's definitely the perfect time to take advantage of getting acquainted with her beautiful designs.
​
