I know it is August, but I am having a hard time admitting that summer is almost over and it’s almost time for apple pie and homework. But Summer’s End, the amazing kit by Studio Alexis Designs, reminds us the end is coming. We might as well embrace it. I love the soft and comfortable colors as well as intricate elements such as the incredible dragon fly. Let’s take a closer look as we deny the end of long and lazy days is near. And wait until you see the graffiti pack…oh my!

A little about us – Barbara is married to her husband for 36 years and has 2 daughters, a son and 4 beautiful grandchildren. I am currently engaged to a wonderful man I’ve known for many years and I have a grown son who is also about to become engaged to a stunning young woman.
Barbara and I will both be planning weddings for our children in the very near future, and we’re so very excited!
Alexis lives in the beautiful Catskill mountains in New York, Barbara lives in hot and humid, Houston, Texas. *LOL*

Barbara and I (Alexis – a.k.a. Lexy) are a design team that collaborate on every collection we produce. We do this via long distance on daily basis – we absolutely love working together!
I began designing 7 years ago, and after 6 months of working behind-the-scenes, Barbara joined the studio in January 2015. Both of us started with paper scrapping, but for me, it was short lived. I quickly found digital scrapbooking about 13 years ago, and have been hooked ever since…we were both scrappers prior to designing, and on several Creative Teams.

We are truly inspired by all things that are beautiful. Beginning with color, glass, crystal, flowers and lace and always nature. At times, our own vintage photos will provide insight as to colors and style.
Color is paramount in most everything we do to make a kit come together. Although we do some themed kits, most of our collections are created to be versatile for all occasions. Flowers are always key and we rarely duplicate any element so as to provide our customers with variation within their own designs and projects.
Computer: We both run with with OS X – El Capitan, 8GB of RAM and 1 monitor. That doesn’t include about 3 external hard drives (for each of us) to facilitate large files needed for designing and photos. It is so important to have a backup plan for all your photos and purchases.
Program: Barbara and I both use Photoshop CC 2015, I occasionally use ArtRage.
Camera: I have a Lumix – DMC ZS7, and Barbara uses a Sony Cx 6000.
Anything Else: We both use iPads, but do very little design work on them aside from some doodles or searching for ideas to design new kits.
For both of us, we LOVE using filters both in our layouts and in our design work. You can easily change the entire spectrum of things by using that simple little technique that is found in all programs. Also be sure to play with the opacity and masks on papers! You would be surprised how much fun it can be.
In the Garden: We love the rich colors and textures in this kit… it just screams country summers. This kit is perfect for scrapping layouts for gardening, trips to the farmer’s market, flea markets, picnics, summer country weddings, picnics and parties, and would be great for summer / barbcue recipe cards and layouts.
Again, this was difficult to choose just one, since most all of our collections are popular!
Spring and all things new inspired this one. After a long winter, we were exited to create something without snowflakes! *laughing* We feel many of our customers shared in our sentiment.
