This month, in recognition of our site’s opening, we’ve decided to combine December Advent with a fun “Get to Know Our Designers” event. Each day, you’ll get a chance to learn about one of the amazing members of our Design Team.
It’s Day Thirteen, and today you get to learn more about Nicole of Sugarplum Paperie. She’s got a sophisticated, classic, papery design style that we know you will love, and her products are known for their gorgeous shabby papers and beautiful color palettes.
5 FUN FACTS
- When I was in college, I played rugby. I had never played another sport in my life, but suddenly I was all excited about one of the roughest, toughest sports in the world. Our team ROCKED. We were the best in the state!
- Before I became a stay-at-home homeschoolin’ momma, I was a paralegal.
- I have two degrees (in Legal Studies and Psychology), but I didn’t know what I really wanted to do with my life until I was 30 years old and I discovered digital scrapbooking. I didn’t think it would be “wise” to go to school for art (even though I wanted to when I was 18!), because I didn’t think I could make a living at it. Ha!
- I have had four kids, born in four different states — and we are not in the military. Those states are Tennessee, Maryland, Ohio and Florida (EST, for the win!).
- Besides scrapbooking, I am also obsessed with knitting, quilting and art journaling.
5 FAVORITE THINGS
- Drink: Coffee. Anytime, all the time. But it must be the color of ice cream.
- Food: Mexican food is my comfort food. I love a taco full of fresh ingredients!
- TV Show: Veronica Mars!
- Game: Munchkin (any flavor of it). We own Munchkin, Munchkin Legions, Munchkin Impossible and Adventure Time Munchkin (for the kids). But my favorite one is Munchkin Booty (it’s pirate-themed). I also want to play Munchkin Pathfinder… because I also play Pathfinder. And that’s only because I love World of Warcraft! And… now you know that I am also a huge nerd.
- Book: Pride and Prejudice. For me, it’s one of those books you can read over and over again and always find something new to amuse you.

Isn’t wonderful that you can find a career that makes you happy! I love the December Joys Let it snow kit (and the note cards) because I love the colors Nicole used and I’m hoping for more snow this winter!
Great interview. I love the Sugarplum Paperie kits in my stash…so easy to scrap with!
Love these interviews. Spent some time oohing and aahing in Nicole’s store. Found so many things that would work great with hybrid pocket style pages!
I love your kits and getting to know you better! I’d love to win your December Joys: Baby It’s Cold Outside kit. thanks so much for the chance!
I love your kits! I really love “Heart Art”. I love grungy edges, borders, etc. These are really pretty. Thanks for the chance to win!
Heart Art is my FAV too! Love the whimsical papers and word art. Fun getting to know you.
Veronica Mars is one of my favorite shows as well! The first two seasons were the best, the third wasn’t so great, but the movie totally redeemed itself!
Anyway, I love your Endless Summer and December Joys Let It Snow kits! 🙂
Mexican food is the best, isn’t it? I’ve always loved tostadas, though they are always so messy! Life in Real Color would be awesome! I hope to start Project Life for 2015, and I think that would be a great kit to start out with!
How cool you played rugby. My hubby played on the club rugby team in college and loved it. It just looks so rough. You are a rock star!
Munchkin – I’ll have to check that out. Great products – thanks!!
Loved the interview!! Love the comment about coffee being the color of ice cream. I get it. Our family plays Munchkin! Sweet and beautiful style.
Coffee’s my favorite drink too but I want mine the color of dark chocolate ice cream! No disguising it with cream!
Nicole’s kits are so versatile, easy to use on any type of layout and she’s a pro with colors. Her Today’s the Day Collection is on the top of my list right now.
Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself — you have so many beautiful kits! I also love Hello, Darling … it reminds of those times when I get together with a friend that I haven’t seen in a long time;
I’ve never heard of Munchkin. I’ll have to look it up.
I totally love, Let It Snow (December Joys) the blue and white with the pop of red, swoon!!!
