Cocoa Daisy warmly welcomes Lisa Kisch as our guest designer for October. We spotted Lisa in our design team call and knew we would had to have her for a guest designer. She has a great simple yet elegant style that fit perfectly with this warm kit. We asked Lisa a few questions to get to know her better:
1. What is your most creative time? It varies– sometimes it’s in the morning right after breakfast– heading upstairs with the kids, setting them up with some scraps so I can actually get something accomplished! Other times it’s in the evening after the kids go to bed– the house is quiet, and the dog sits at my feet while I work.
2. What is your top 5 playlist? I almost never scrap to music! I do love “Glee-kast” on Accu-radio, though. It’s a free on-line radio station/app that play only music from “Glee”.
3. What’s next on your scrappy life list? Getting my scraproom under control. It’s the last place to get tidied, and you can barely walk in there at the moment. I often have scrap nights at my house where I put out product for my friends to use– that helps clear some older stuff out, to make room for the new!
4. What is your favorite retreat? A long, hot shower. The environmentalist in me is mortified by the hot water wasted, but it feels SO good.
5. If your life was a movie, what actress would play you? If we’re going by who looks like me, I sometimes get Katie Holmes or Ashley Judd. If we’re going by the actress I admire the most, it would have to be Emma Thompson. She breaks my heart every time I see her on screen1
6. Who are the most important people in your life? My hubby and my two little girls, Audrey and Lily.
7. Where do you start when you scrap? I am most successful when I start with the idea for the page– I see a photo that makes me think of a story, then I work from there. I also sometimes start with design inspiration– an image on Pinterent, or an ad in a magazine. The bottom line is that I need the thought first– I can’t just start by staring at a 12X12 piece of cardstock. That’s torture!
8. What’s your favorite blog? Oooo… that’s tough. Google Reader manages the hundreds of blogs I read on scrapping, sewing, food, design and photography. I honestly couldn’t pick just one!
9. What food would describe your style? A chocolate croissant– classic, simple, with a little something sweet.
10. What is “dressed up” for you? I can definitely pull out the heels and a cocktail dress when the event arises. I work as a stage actress, so I’m always playing dress-up!
Here are her gorgeous creations using this month’s kit:
