I gave myself purple hair as a teenager. Yes, you read correctly. PURPLE HAIR! Not with dye, but with Kool-Aid powder. I had read about it somewhere and I figured it sounded cool. My mother stared, open-mouthed, at me an hour later, took a picture and then called my father in the room to look at me. This picture has since been “misplaced”, but the memory still makes me giggle and I am thankful that I was a kid who never feared experimenting with the unknown.
That is what I love about The Design Experiment girls. They are a group who are willing to push us with their challenges but most of all with their work as a whole. They don’t hold back and give freely from their hearts. We recently caught up with the X Team and we able to pick their brains a little about their site, their group dynamic, and what we can expect from them in the coming months.

Design note:
To create a 3D effect, I hand cut the cogs and gears out of the patterned paper, layering them, and placing pop dots under each layer. I added buttons on the top for added visual interest.

Journaling:
Joey, you have this look, whenever you are asked a question, or you are thinking. You will put your finger to the side of your head and say: “Hmmmmm!” When you figure out the answer, the finger will go into the air as you say: “I know!” I absolutely LOVE this! Please don’t ever stop being this adorable!!!
Being
part of the Design X team:
The Design Experiment was
a vision that Patti and I had many months
back. We visualized a place where people
would be inspired to create exciting layouts
and projects, and a place where your
creativity would be sparked by each prompt.
I never expected to find such talented girls
to share this vision with, and I feel so
blessed to have a friendship with each and
every one of the girls on the team.

I just wanted to be whimsical
with this layout so I tore, inked, added and
added...
