Hello! Polly Karen here bring you another installment of the popular Polly Picks! Every two weeks we ask one of our staff members to choose their favorite products in the shop. Then we put those products on sale! Our latest Polly Picks sale includes products chosen by the fabulous Liana (yellowpeep):
Liana (yellowpeep) has been a Polly for years and is one of the best participants in the forum. She is witty and funny and can always be counted on to keep us laughing with her posts in the forum. Not only is she a hoot, but her layouts are always gorgeous and in no small part due to her amazing photography skills. It doesn’t hurt that she has two completely darling girls as her models. I asked Liana to describe her style, and this is what she had to say:
“Aloha! I was born and raised in Hawai’i and I’m a kindergarten teacher so I tend to gravitate towards bright, sunshiny pops of color. Even though I love to admire layouts that have tiny, simple elements and neutral or subtle colors, I just can’t seem to make that look happen in my layouts. Instead, I almost always end up with bold splashes of color and huge photos. When I’m creating a layout, I think of it as taking on a “personality” to match the photo or the theme of the layout. Celebratory photos get noisy, colorful backgrounds and lots of glitter. Sweet, touching photos are accompanied by softer and more etherial elements. I love using templates because I have a very hard time starting layouts and they give me a boost by allowing me to visualize the general layout of the page before I begin. There isn’t really a consistent theme to my layouts except bright colors and bold statements. That’s why I love the Lilypad so much– the designers cover such a wide range of styles so I can always find something I like.”
Here is some fantastic inspiration from Liana:
Each page/project above is linked so you can go to the gallery and leave Liana some love. Or just go to the sale right now, and make your own fun projects with the products Liana chose! These particular products will be on sale for two weeks.
