We are so excited to have Leora Sanford of Little Dreamer Designs with us here at THE DAILY DIGI this month! I first got to know Leora’s work when I was a part of the Dream Team over at LDD and I have loved it ever since. Leora’s designs are fun, fresh, and full of awesome colors. I love that Leora is willing to step out, try something new, and be true to who she is. Before we get to know her a bit better and see some of her work, let’s look at what she created for THE DIGI FILES 5.
You can get this great kit as well as a TON more all in THE DIGI FILES 5 — available for just ONE MORE WEEK!
It’s so fun! I love the worn and comfortable colors. Here are some of the fabulous layouts by our team that were create using this kit.

BLOG: My Many Layers
When get an inkling to try something, I act on it! I looked at all of beautiful things being designed and thought, “I wonder if I can do that…” I just started playing around and loved it. Luckily I was given the chance to sell at Designer Digitals. I moved to Little Dreamer Designs 2 years ago and have been happy to call it “home” ever since.
A little over 3 years ago (wow…time flies!!)
BOTH. I can’t imagine doing one and not the other. Since I started out as a scrapper, it made sense to make the transition to a designer. Plus it helps to be able to play around with things before I put them out there for others to use. If I can’t make a product work on a layout, it’s back to the drawing board.
The fantastic thing about being a designer (at least at Little Dreamers) is that my schedule is as flexible as I want or need it to be. Because I’m a school teacher, my “free” time fluctuates, so I make it work when it fits in. I would say I spend anywhere between 3 and 15 hours a week being a designer.
That would most likely be my kit, “A Lovely Afternoon”
