Welcome to LOVE our Designers February 26 Etc. by Danyale is our CRUSH today! WOW! SALE of 40% Off TODAY ONLY PLUS Danyale has THREE Free Gifts for you - see below for details Let's keep the MOC inspiration going! Let's get to know Danyale a bit more... shop | newsletter | blog TLP username: Danyale Socials: facebook | pinterest | instagram | FB Group I asked Danyale a few questions to help get to know her more:Family makeup/pets? We are officially "empty nesters" and grand-parents! We have 3 children - 2 boys (33 - sous chef and 26 - electrical engineer) and our daughter is finishing her pre med to be an Endodontist. We don't have any pets anymore due to our living location but I am a TNR' volunteer, so I get my fair share of kitty snuggles. Please tell the people where you live, and how did that opportunity come about? We currently live on the island of Sicily off the coast of Italy. It has been an amazing 1 1/2 yr, lots of travel and the Mediterranean is gorgeous. My husband is a DOD Civilian Fire Chief, so a promotion opportunity gave us the chance to get out of our beach chair in Florida and sit along the shores of the Med. It has been a life altering experience. Is designing your full time job? Past career(s)? It is really become more of a part time job as I have started taking a lot of time off this past year due to our living location, travel opportunities, and simply internet logistics of living on an island. I am a retired EMT, 911 operator and trauma nurse. Being part of the memory keeping community is definitely a much more creative space for my emotions and mentality to be in ♥ Top 5 favorites of the moment? 1. Living in a place that has beaches 30 minutes away even though we live on the side of an active volcano. Having the warm water to enjoy most of the year, but also snow in the Winter has been the coolest thing for a Florida lady. 2. I am in love with all things Netherlands. I would move there and live today. We travel in and out of Amsterdam frequently and I am just a huge fan of everything. 3. I have been embracing not having a set style of memory keeping for years. I feel like the industry is now supporting that so much more than previously. I still keep the oversize album of a 12x12 or many journal style note boooks, but what is on the inside or each page is depending on what memory I am trying to keep. I love that the community is slowly forming a single mind set - no more separation of creatives... paper - digi - etc 4. After tasting one during our 1st trip to Paris, I am loving what they call a St Guermaine Spritz. You just mix up Champagne, St Guermaine (a liqueur), mint leaves and a squeeze and slice of lime. Some places in the EU call it a Hugo - YUMMY! 5. I adore this randomly found hand cream by L'Occitane - Amande (almond). It is french from Provence, smells amazing, and my hands/arms feel like butter....Le sigh Tell us one thing on your bucket list. We have talked for years about going to the Maldives or Bora Bora for years. We are finally headed there for our 25th anniversary in 2021! Any hidden talents? I am simultaneously learning Italian, Sicilian, Dutch and German - can that be a talent? I feel like I know more than I actually do. I certainly understand more then I can reply - which makes no sense. Thank you for participating in our gift giveaway. If you missed the kit giveaway, it will be in store March 8th with a matching paint set! Today we are scrapping with Etc. by Danyale products.

@norton94 - Your page is also not showing... I love Danyale's work - some day I would love to visit Italy.
I have the honor of being on Danyale's CT. Here is one of the two I created with the absolutely gorgeous kit she created.
@norton94 and @bestcee we can't see your layouts. Love Danyale's goodies. Thanks also for the fabulous freebies Danyale - sweet and generous.
Thank you for telling me - I could see it, so I never would have known Thank you for telling me - I could see it, so I never would have known I'm sure once Courtney sees she can switch it too
I was so excited to be scrapping with one of my most favorite designers I forgot to go get Part 2 from the newsletter before I began scrapping. Part 1 elements (This is me now, the tape measure, the word strip, and the wiser bead) inspired me to make a timeline of my life. I challenge you to find a layout in my gallery that doesn't use Danyale's products. And thanks for the interview! That was wonderful to read. Except for the part about taking time off from designing. Please never stop! By the way, it does make sense to understand more language than you can speak. That's how we all learn our original language when we're toddlers.
I am a huge fan and everytimes there is a sale I stock up! I have been an avid collector of her kits for over a year and having a great time! Thanks for being our daily crush and I love learning more about her!
