I am so excited and honored to host Anita's day here at The Lilypad. I have always been drawn to her beautiful clean and elegant design style. I love her templates as a starting point, as they are fun to use, and can easily be modified for my needs. Anita has many wonderful digital collections in her store that are perfect for digital and hybrid projects. Her designs are extremely versatile, and suit my more traditional scrapbooking style.

Here are some of my recent layouts made with Anita's Designs.

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

How did you get started as a designer?

It all started at a Belgium Photo forum for photography and scrapbooking, that's when I first learned how to scrap. I have always been creative in crafting and with photoshop it was like a new kind of adventure to figure out how it all works. After shopping lots of digi kits, I thought I would love to make my own stuff and so a new creative journey began.

What's your creative process for coming up with new product ideas?

That varies, sometimes it's events happening in my life, or occasions or just something that pops up in my head.

Do you have a current favorite product you’ve created?

I love the Fernweh and Snap and A winter's tale collabs, but also the Audacity, Sea La Vie, One and Unforgettable.

Where do you call home?

I live in Belfeld, a small village near the city Venlo in the province of Limburg in the Netherlands.

Our house is filled with a husband and 2 boys (22 and 26) that still live with us, we have a happy dog called Shadow an American Staffordshire Terrier, and a Bengal cat named Tony and a lazy lady cat called Jayda, and since a little while the boys decided to ad a little birdy called Puppy (Blame my husband for the weird birdname LOL).

What do you do to relax and take time for yourself?

Every once in a while, Irma (from designed by Irma) and I take a wellnes sauna spa day at our fave spa facility. https://www.thermenbussloo.nl/
We aim to go every two months. We hang out enjoy the heat from the sauna's and the saltwater and other pools and an HAMMAM treatment! And of course we love their food. Since I had cancer I try to enjoy life more and do more fun stuff like vacations and spending quality time with family and friends in between check-ups. Other than that if I need ME time I just take a book and read in the tub or take walks in the forest to enjoy the nature and clear my head.

Now it's your turn!
Anita has created a fabulous new template that you can download HERE for free until the 17th of March.

Here is a layout I created with the template and her Almanac Collection.

I made a couple more layouts with goodies that Anita released today:


 
Thank you Stefanie for hosting and thank you Anita for the wonderful template freebie!

Here is a page I recently made with Anita's January 2024 collection:

 
First of all: thank you for the template. I was thinking I'd use it today, but I had this kit in mind, and the layout I wanted to make, didn't really work with the template. I've not used Anita's designs a lot, but some. What I really love is her papers. Like the one on today's layout - a subtle pattern, just to create a little interest to the page, but subtle enough to make the elements shine.


And here's a couple of older ones - I think you can tell which kit of hers is my favorite!




 
Here is my layout for the template challenge this month using her Seaside calls
 
I've been on Anita's team for a few months now, I fell in love with her travel photo album template sets but now I love all her stuff. I was so happy when she came to the Lilypad :beat Here's my page...
 
Thank you so much for the template and the lovely sale! ♥ I absolutely love the soft and beautiful style of Anita's Designs~ they are definitely favorites!
 
Thank you, Anita, for a second free template this month! I did this layout with the March monthly challenge template and your lovely With You kit.
 
Fabulous template! Thanks so much! That will be perfect for an event I'm going to tomorrow, to capture all the details of the baby shower.

Here's my page for today, though:

 
Thanks so much for the sale - did a little shopping and then some scrapping with new goodies =)
I used the Sea La Vie Collection to scrap this precious picture of my sister-in-law, husband and daughter on the beach.
