Here in Wisconsin we are in the midst of a
beautiful Indian summer. I love Autumn. Can
you think of a better time to visit the
beautiful Ozark Mountains? That’s where we find
this month’s featured designer, Kay Miller, from
Kay Miller Designs.
Kay’s adventures in scrapping began in 2000 with
the birth of her first child. While she started
with paper she became a hybrid scrapper by using
the computer to create her titles and
journaling. In 2003, she was creating more and
more with the computer that designing seemed
liked the next step. She hasn’t gone back to
paper layouts but does enjoy creating hybrid
projects and cards. This PSCS3 user scraps a
lot! She creates for the Shabby Pickle Creative
Team as well as for friends and family. Between
the two she creates upwards of 20 layouts a
month. TWENTY! Her favorite layout is called
Daisies. It was created for Digital Artist
magazine. It’s a photo of her daughter and
“there is really no journaling, but the layout
itself I think is just beautiful.”

Editor's note:
I really
like how Kay lets the title say it all. The
simple title lets the bright and beautiful
photo stand out.

Editor's
note:
I admire
Kay for doing a layout of herself and her
sweet puppy, Frito. The colors compliment
the photo perfectly. While I’m sure she
meant that the puppy was the apple of her
eye, I’m sure that Kay is the apple of her
family’s eye! |

Kay, who also uses Illustrator to design,
finds her inspiration “everywhere.” I was
tickled to learn that she also gets a great
deal of her inspiration from children. She
loves browsing children’s clothing and
magazines as well as her children’s
storybooks. While she creates approximately
two to three kits a month she does
have her favorites. “My favorite kit
to date is Simple Pleasures. It just started
out as a color scheme that I really loved
and I started doodling with some flowers and
a little house and the whole theme was
born.” Kay’s newest kit is called Full of
Life. It started out as a Thanksgiving kit
just because it's that time of year, but it
kind of turned more into a kit to celebrate
all the things in life that we treasure.
She threw an adorable little squirrel in
there to add an autumnal feel.

 Kay
Miller has been married to her wonderful
husband, Paul, for 12 years. They have two
great kids ages six and eight. She also
loves animals. The family has three dogs
and two cats. She says, “I'd have more but
my husband set a limit” Her passions are
creating and photography. She is the proud
owner of a Nikon D300 and a handful of
different lens (aren‘t you jealous? I know
I am!). She takes photos daily and never run
out of inspiration on their 400 acre farm in
the Ozark Mountains. Besides designing digital page kits she is also an
avid scrapper (20 layouts a month,
remember), rubber stamper and card maker.
She’s a homebody and her happiest moments
are spent designing at her computer,
stamping in her craft room or taking morning
walks…with her camera of course!
Kay’s favorite designers are Mary Fran of
Nitwit Collections, Mindy Terresawa, Kristin
Cronin-Barrow, Shabby Princess, Shabby Miss
Jenn and Gina Cabrera. You can

not have enough time in the day to blog.
