December Advent Day One: Get to Know Laura Passage

51

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.

First up for Day One is our very own Laura Passage (who many of you also know as Wishing Well Creations). She’s got a really playful, papery design style that we know you will love, and she is known for the bright rainbow colors she often uses for her products.

 

5 FUN FACTS

  1. Before I had kids, I worked for over a decade as a college soccer coach.
  2. I once held a wild chipmunk in my hands. In related news: chipmunks enjoy Nutri-Grain bars.
  3. While in college, I spent a semester working in NYC and I interned at Rolling Stone Press.
  4. During my honeymoon, our cruise ship caught fire in the middle of the Caribbean and we came within about 10 minutes of being evacuated onto life-boats. The fire stopped 9 cabins away from ours!
  5. In my life, I have had 2 knee surgeries, 1 lower back surgery, and 2 emergency c-sections.

5 FAVORITE THINGS

  1. Dessert: Haagen Dazs coffee ice cream (yes, brand-specific! no others can even compete!)
  2. TV Show: Lately, that spot is held by The Walking Dead… a show I once told my husband I’d have zero interest in watching. True story.
  3. Product I can’t live without: Aquaphor. I’ve convinced my kids it will cure anything. Even sibling rivalry. “Just put Aquaphor on it!”
  4. Book: After over 2 decades and more than one reading, I still love (and will always love) the complete and uncut version of Stephen King’s The Stand.
  5. Convenience Item: probably my iPhone. Cliché, I know. I care not. So convenient. 😉

MY FAVORITE PRODUCT

This is so tough, because I always tend to be crushing on my most recent products the most… but I do have a special spot in my heart for …And The Pursuit of Happiness because it’s got such an overall happy feel to it (and even though it’s theme-specific, it’s also generic enough to use all year long).

...And The Pursuit of Happiness | Kit

If you love Laura’s products and would like a chance to win one free kit from her shop… leave a comment here on this post and let us know what you love, and why you love it! At the very end of our 2014 December Advent series later this month, we’ll randomly choose one winner from all comments!

    Laura, you have definitely had an eventful life — cruise ship fire on your honeymoon! You certainly have memorable memories to share! I love your style … I like your templates, but I’ve got Captured kit on my wish list.

  28. Joan says:

    What I love in life is learning from others. What I love about Laura’s kits is that they have fun color palettes with just enough neutrals added to make the kit work for me. I have always loved her fun banners especially.

  29. SherriS. says:

    Hi Laura! I remember being scared sh**less when I read The Stand. I’ve never reread it but I should. I love your Happy Days collection and would be thrilled to win it. Happy to subscribe to this blog too!

    Haagen Dazs Chocolate Chocolate Chip, for me! YUM! I have loads of your stuff and looking forward to more. Just love your style. And I can see you as a soccer coach!

  34. michelepixels says:

    I’ve always loved how colorful Laura’s kits are because I’m a cheerful sort who likes lots of color around me (and finds grey days like today a bit depressing). Thank you for the chance!

    The Stand is only one of two Stephen King books I’ve read, and I think I’ve read it 4-5 times. Just something about it…………..I usually don’t read his style of writing as I get creeped out too fast. The other book was Salem’s Lot and I still have a hard time with walking past windows at night. LOL And I read it when it came out in the 70’s. Anyway I’m really liking those Stitched Down templates, something about those hearts I think……

  38. wahoolady says:

    This is so fun. Love getting to know more about each Designer.
    I think I need to pick up some of Dawn’s mobile fonts/stamps – love these!

  40. Emily S says:

    OH, The Stand…I’ll never forget reading IT and then seeing the movie when I was wayyyy to young. I still think the world could do without clowns. As for kits, I love A Noise with Dirt On It. I have two boys that I scrap about, a lot!

  42. jennifer says:

    Laura was my FIRST! When I started digi scrapping this year I devoured all her kits. I mean I literally have almost every single one. I love that her solid papers have texture and depth to them. I love her style!

  43. Kiana says:

    You sound like me with the Aquaphor, except my cure all is Nyquil or Peroxide. Lol

    I love all of Laura’s stuff, but right now I really am digging on: Woodys Winterland!
