Free Weekly Kit by Featured Designer: Whispy's D'zines

 

Let’s welcome Whispy’s D’zines as this week’s Featured Designer!

Q&A With The Designer: Whispy’s D’zines


Who is a very special person in your life?

That would be my Mom. She is a pillar of strength and grace, especially since my Dad passed away. She is always putting others above herself, and always has a kind word to say to people.


What is your favorite thing to do to relax?

I love doing needlework projects, either needle point or cross stitch. I am also learning how to knit from my Mom.


What is your favorite season?

Winter. I was born and raised in Colorado, and will always have my heart be there, especially in winter time.


What's the most daring thing you've ever done?

I participated in a ropes course several years ago. Part of that involved climbing up a 20 foot pole and walking across a rope bridge to another pole. I never thought I could have done it, but I did it!


If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Chips and hot sauce. I can never resist the scent of fresh tortilla chips and spicy hot sauce.


To finish off we would love to share some of her favorite layouts:

Layout from Be With Me

Layout from Choose Joy

Layout from Daisy Gnomes

Layout from May Flowers

Layout from Patriotic Gnomes

DYL: Friendship Garden from Diane, ADB Designs

 

Friendship Gardens are created with no particular plan in mind. As plants are thinned and offered to loved ones, good friends, and even internationally, we share a piece of ourselves to others in the name of cultural exchange (there are "sister" gardens between Japan and California, for example), or love and kindness between friends, neighbors, and other community members. My new collection, Friendship Garden, embodies these ideas and ideals.

The elements are traditional with a bit of vintage mixed in. There are a number of word strips and titles to express your feelings, a beautiful teapot, ephemera, frames, buttons, ribbons and lace, and loads of foliage and flowers. The color palette is bright and cheerful with blue and teal, avocado and mint, fuchsia pink and sunshine yellow.

#214 Question/Scrapbooking Prompt(s)

  • Create a page celebrating friendsip
  • Create a page of a favorite garden (maybe enjoyed with a friend?)

These prompts are ideas to help you get started. I also have a gift for you to help speed your page completion. With this stunning frame cluster (contributed by my amazing Creative Team Member: Kabra) you can finish a page quickly.

Be sure to keep scrolling for information about additional beautiful gifts from this collection!
