Love Our Designers | March 5th

Nicole (aka NBK Designs) is our daily crush!

This event isn't a traditional CHALLENGE in that there aren't any real rules. It's just...Scrap with the featured designer! It’s a fun event to just scrap with products from a fave designer or try a new (to you) designer. It’s all about having fun and celebrating the uniqueness of all of our Lilypad Designers!

I have been a BIG fan of Nicole's designs for many years and used to be on her CT a few years ago! I simply adore her, she is such a warm, friendly and lovely person! I am constantly amazed at the beautiful designs she creates, and wonder how in the heck does she come up with these stunning colour palettes and exceptional designs, over and over again! Nicole's products are so very easy to work with, whether I am creating a full-on mixed media layout or something more on the minimalist side, I know that I will find everything I need in the one collection! My only problem is that I don't have enough hours in the day to create more pages with her collections!

I find so much inspiration in Nicole's designs and they always seem to 'push me' to be more creative in my own way, using her products in different ways to achieve different effects. I absolutely adore all the paints, gesso and brushes that come with collections, and textures!!!! *swoon* if you know me then you know I love textures! I can honestly spend a whole day working on a layout using Nicole's products, time stands still for me while I try different different techniques, using her styles, paints and brushes to create my own brand of art. These are just some of my most fave layouts using Nicole's products.

Layout: Dear Diary using NBK Design's Dear Diary Collection:

​

Layout: Wanderlust using NBK Design's Wanderlust Collection:

​

Layout: Autumn Whisper using NBK Design's Autumn Whisper Collection:

​

Layout: Better Alone using NBK Design's Sometimes Collection:

​

Nicole's collections are simply filled to the brim with sensational products such as brushes, gesso and textures already mentioned, but don't forget the styles, the scribbles, the magic lights, the amazing artsy type elements and of course her magical templates! *just wow* Her week by week templates are so easy to work with and her Storybook, Letter Sized templates are my favourite! While Nicole's collections are big, her products are also available separately so you can pick and choose just what you want to work with!

Getting to know a designer is always fun so I asked Nicole these three questions:

1. Nicole, you have designed some fabulous products over the years, do you have one or two favourites you would like to share with us?

"There are so many and most of the collections have their own story. I love the Brave New World Collection from last year by NBK-Design."

​

"Also one of my favorite ones is Opposites Attract by NBK-Design.

I’ve painted a lot from that collection and I love the papers and the colorful elements."

​

"Urban Garden is also one that has a deeper story. While creating it, I fell in love again after a long long time, I never thought this would happen again. So this collection reminds me always of that time."

​

"The more I now look thru the collections the more I could find :—) Intuitive is also another one I love because of all the painted brushes and color. I wanted to create a collection only out of intuitive feelings. I wasn’t sure if anything will go together at the end. "

2. Where do you design your products, do you have a dedicated spot or do you share a space with someone else?

"When I needed to move out of my tiny flat in 2016 I decided to buy my own home. The most important thing was that I wanted to have a HUGE office. I think that room is the most used room in my own 4 walls.
And here is a little sneak peek into my office https://go.nbk-design.com/WHG-Studio

I don't share with anyone my castle. It’s really a total girls flat all in turquoise and aqua colors. The huge canvas in my living room is created with scrapbooking supplies https://go.nbk-design.com/WHG-Wohnen also the colorful one in my Dinning area is created out of my Brushmixes and styles. https://go.nbk-design.com/WHG-Essen"

3. In a Covid free world, is there anywhere in our big beautiful world that you would love to travel to? What draws you to this place?

"Always Spain. My parents own a little house down there and by plane I am in 2 hours in Alicante and for me it’s a wonderful place. Its warm, its cosy and its sunny and I have WiFi LOL "

Thank you Nicole for sharing your thoughts with us and wow! your studio/office is just stunning and I love those two canvases you have in your rooms as well!
