FOREVERJOY 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!

Today we are going to play with Renne from ForeverJoy Designs. If you’re not familiar with her, go have a look at her amazing store here. Renne's kits are always so much fun! There are so many little hidden treasures in each kit, from her fun and colourful patterned papers, to her amazing felt board signs, to her cute little drawn animals and people!!

First and foremost, here are a few quick links to follow along with Renne and her amazeball designs!!

I asked Renne a few questions so we could all get to know her a little better.

1. Tell us a little about your life.

I live in NYC with my awesome hubby of 29 years, my 2 sons and my goofy sheepadoodle. Right now I'm navigating the waters of living with bigs- my older son Ryan is 23, my not-so-little guy is 15. Magic at home is a little harder to make as they get older- but I'm determined to keep that good stuff going. They may roll their eyes- but I know they love the silly stuff I do! We will be building leprechaun traps on St. Paddys and having a nighttime egg hunt for Easter!

2. What inspires you when you are making a kit?

I think it all comes down to what stories I'd like to tell at the moment. It could be seasonal, or themed around a holiday- or their could just be something happening in my life I'd like to push pause on and document. No matter what I always try and add a bit of positivity to my designs.

3. What's your go to snack/drink when you are designing?

I have an IV of coffee hooked up at all times. I always have the History Channel playing in the background- I am a huge Ancient Aliens fan!

I don't really eat while at my desk- instead I try and break for a nice lunch and reset. I love mason jar salads best!

4. What is your favourite kit (or kits) that you have designed?

oooh! That is crazy hard to answer because I truly love them all! I can tell you what I was feeling or was inspired by for each and everyone- and because of that- each is really a part of me!

The Halloween kits may be my favorite seasonal ones to make- School Daze got me though pandemic virtual schooling with a good laugh- and I will forever love my teen kits. That's a hard one!

5. Is there anything else you would like us to know?

some random facts about me:

I met my husband when he was my neighborhood "beat cop" he was very cute in his uniform! I asked him out 3 times before he finally said yes! (He's paying for that now )

Our first date was a wedding- the one we went to was very dull- so we crashed one across the hall.

I practiced Criminal Law in Brooklyn for 20 years- I was a prosecutor and then a defense attorney. I jumped off that track once my dad passed away. Life's too short- and they are only little for so long. I loved those times- but have no regrets.

I believe you will only regret the chance you don't take.
When my first son was born- I needed to take a break from trial work so I started catering. I learned by washing dishes for cooking classes at the French Culinary Institute at night. When my second son was born- I started design work. It's never too late to start all over again

I was once on Food Network- it was a show called "It's A Surprise!" and they threw my parents a surprise second wedding! (They had eloped the first time) You can see the episode here

Wowzers!! Renne is officially the coolest person I know!!!

Here is the page I made for the LOD with ForeverJoy Designs' kit Winter Times




I don't know if she remembers this, but when I first came to the Pad, I bugged Renne forever to let me on her CT...and she foolishly let me come on board.
She really is one of the coolest people I know, and she's so sweet and her designs rock!!

Here are some older pages I have scrapped with her kits!!







Now it's your turn to make a page with (mostly) ForeverJoy Designs. Explore her store and see what irresistible goodies you find. Or shop your own stash!
