Louise Franks designs: The Blog

Somebody asked me the other day if I missed blog designing. Actually I do still do some blog designs behind the scenes, like my own blogs for example, so I haven’t actually missed it yet. Do I miss not being able to design what *I* want? No. As much as I loved creating magic on [...]

Well I’ve had a busy week this week between work, home, setting up my uni equipment (more on that later) and designing! I have managed to come up with a few cute new creations this week though. What do you think of these? New Home themed doodles added to the Doodle Club I even used [...]

Ok here’s a random funny fact about me… …I hate wearing skirts! Want to know why? Well when I was at school we had  to wear an awful school uniform which of course meant that girls had to wear a skirt. I always had muscly calves and small ankles so I was called “turkey legs” [...]

I’m currently involved in a design challenge at Scrapping Fairytales. For the next 4 weeks there will be about 30 participants taking part, with each of them offering a mini kit each week. The designers have a variety of experience, some are trying it out for the first time, but some of us have been [...]
