“Hey there, Scrappy Peeps.

I’m Lisa-Lisa from The Cherry On Top. Like you, since I can remember, I’ve always been super creative. I had my coloring books and crayons. The BIG box of Crayola with the sharpener in the back. I dabbled with so many different kinds of art, crafts and scrapbooking and eventually designing, just stuck.

I started off paper scrapbooking with a few other ladies and immediately loved it. I had just taken some students from the high school I was working at to Europe. So, I had some awesome pictures to document. I had a REAL self taken photo of THE QUEEN in her golden carriage and even more exciting…coughs…I took pictures of the Spice Girls making a video on some stairs somewhere in London because I was chatting it up with the cute security guard. That’s just the beginning of what turned out to be an amazingly, insane adventure.

I’m fairly certain that this amazingly insane quality is what ignites my creativity. When you open your eyes to the limitless opportunities that surround us, you can create beautiful, unique and original things. We all take our own experiences to our interpretations and creations and that’s what makes our art so fabulous for us and maybe even those we share it with.

Funny, TRUE story. I hated templates in the beginning. Can you believe it?! I’m a total freaky, super nerd and I thought templates were cheating. Silly, silly me! I was designing probably 30 pages a week with all of the Creative Teams I was on, which was also probably pushing 30 at one time. I told you! Amazingly insane! It took me a while to figure out that templates are often used as a springboard. An excellent, structured way to get started on a page. Templates can inspire us like crazy. I sure hope mine do! Digital scrapbooking templates are probably the best way to get started scrapbooking. You’ve got the skill, expertise and experience of a seasoned scrapbooker guiding you through your page. I think templates are an amazing tool. They save tons of time, too.

So, I started designing templates because I needed them for my pages, anyway. I gave them away on my Bloggo, thecherryontopdesigns.com which didn’t start off as a scrapbooking blog, but that’s another story. After feeling like I had some kind of fan base and better skills, I started selling at GingerScraps a couple of years ago.

My blog has been around for over a decade. It’s an award winning blog full, full, full of amazing crafts, recipes and mostly scrapbook inspiration, tutorials, tips and tricks. I’d love for you to take a visit if you’ve not already. It is stuffed full of freebies! You’ll shake your head at the generosity.

I’d love to see you around the shop, over on the Blog and make yourself at home in my group on Facebook where you can, “Ooh and Ahhh” at the gorgeous pages scrappers are posting and post your own layouts. I often throw out free stuff, play games and spread sass and sunshine.

See you around!

Lisa (The Cherry On Top)”
