4 in ’14 – Zoe Pearn
Another Featured Designer Friday is here Sweet Shoppers, and this week we’re bringing you part two of Zoe Pearn’s gorgeous and inspiring 4 in ’14 spotlight which is going to give you a taste of some of her favorite layouts both paper and digital, a peek at her home down under and MORE! I have been loving the chance to get to know our designers a little better through words and pictures, and I hope you have been enjoying it, too! Don’t forget between now and next Thursday, November 20th, you’ll get A Grateful Heart, Zoe’s stunning full-sized featured designer kit, FREE when you spend $10 in the shoppe!
Yup, that’s me… I’m not one to take lots of selfies, and these are all from 2014… I’ve been blonde most of my life, but I made the change to being a brunette in the last year, so I’m still getting used to it!
A couple of years ago, my husband and I decided that we were sick of city life in our hometown of Brisbane, so we made a sea-change and moved 6 hours away from home! We now live about 2 minutes from these beautiful beaches on the New South Wales Mid-North Coast, Australia. The beaches here are still so natural – no high rise apartments here, and the water is the most beautiful shade of aqua blue I have ever seen. Plus the weather is gorgeous all year round. It’s been hard to move away from all of our family at home, but we love where we live now, and it’s a fantastic place for the kids to grow up!
I’ve been trying to make an effort to scrap more over the last year, even if pages are few and far between! I usually will scrap with my own products, because generally I have a photo in mind for a kit when I start out designing it. These are a few of my favourite recent pages!
I also love to get off the computer and paper scrap too! I’ve been on a “stash-busting” mission over the last year to use up some of the products that I have bought but never got around to using. It’s still tempting to buy new paper supplies, but I find that I can still make nice pages with stuff that I bought a couple of years ago too, not just the latest and greatest! I go to a scrapbooking retreat twice a year with some friends, so I get to indulge in some scrap therapy shopping at those at least LOL!
These are a few of my favourite kits from 2014!
Free Spirit: I am a sucker for gold in just about EVERYTHING these days, and I love the classic girly colours in this one!
Make It Count: The colours in this kit are so pretty, and the florals are my all-time favourite!
Memorable: Carnival: I absolutely adore Kristin Cronin-Barrow, as both a friend and to work with. We “talk” almost every day, and we just seem to mesh really well with our collabs. Our ongoing collection, Memorable, has been so much fun to work on in 2014, and this Carnival one would have to be my absolute favourite of them all… So fun!!
On The Road Again: This kit was a bit different to my usual, but it turned out to be one of my favourites – the theme was fun, and my family had just been on a road trip to see some snow, so it was easy to design because I knew what photos I wanted to scrap with it!

Don’t forget to check back in with us next Friday and every Friday after that as we put the rest of our incredible designers into the spotlight. Each of them have such quirky personalities that I’m positive each week will bring new surprises and special treats that we can’t wait to share with you!
