    Love Our Designers - February 23
    :heartlub:beat Designed by Irma is our Daily Crush :beat:heartlub

    IMG_3101.jpeg

    This event isn't a traditional challenge in that there aren't any real rules.

    It’s a fun event to 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!

    If you haven’t discovered Irma’s designs yet you find her Lilypad store here. I love the variety of papers, elements, cards and templates to be found there! The texture on the cards and papers are amazing and I love scrapping with flat sticker elements and that is something one can find a lot of in Irma’s designs.

    You can also follow her designs on Facebook for updates and her TLP user name is @designed by Irma

    Here are a selection of products that can be found in Irma’s store and a few different pages I have made with her beautiful designs.

    I was curious about Irma’s designs and asked her a few questions about her process.

    1. How long have you been designing? How did you get started?
    I have started designing about 6-7 years ago. Anita (from Anita Designs) said that I should try it, and she learned me all kind of things.

    2. How do you come up with your color palette or theme for your kits?
    That can be anything, sometimes it happens through a picture or image that i see, or theme when I am at home with my family, or when I drive the schoolbus, the kids get me inspired, but also things in nature like spring winter or summer or fall.

    3. When creating a collection, what do you start with?
    I usually start with solid papers and then work towards patterned papers and elements.

    4. Do you have a favorite product you've designed?
    Snow adorable is still one of my favorites.

    5. Any tricks or hacks you use to get your creativity going?
    Just enjoy life and music and the creativity will come !

    Irma has kindly provided a free template for you to download here

    First of all - thank you for the lovely template!

    I love it when a word art gives you the inspiration to a layout. Also, I love that this word art inspired me to make a layout about a rather ordinary day. I really want to make more layouts like this - telling the story of the everyday life, not just the spectacular days. Life is mostly everyday life.
