🍋 The Story Behind the Lemon Goose
Some days at work, I get to create the most random and cheerful things — like today’s adventure: the Lemon Goose. 🍋
So this kit has a slightly ridiculous — but completely adorable — backstory.
A while ago, my boss got an email asking if we could create a scrapbook kit themed around a porch goose. (If you’ve never heard of it — you're not alone. We hadn't either!) Apparently, it’s a Southern thing where people have a goose statue on their front porch that they dress up for the seasons. Amazing, right?
We laughed about it and tucked the idea away… until I was browsing Pinterest and came across the cutest little goose in bright yellow rain boots, holding a lemon. 🍋🧡 I immediately jumped on the idea and started designing a lemonade themed page — complete with yellow and pink lemonade glasses, a sweet summery color scheme, and of course the phrase:
“Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy”.
At first, I wasn’t sure if the boots really made sense with the lemonade theme. But when I showed the screenshot to my boss, she said, “It absolutely needs the boots.” 😂 And that’s how this Lemon Goose Scrapbook Layout was born.
I used my favorite yellow papers and experimented with some new layering techniques I’ve been wanting to try at home (the hearts on the boots) . It turned out way cuter than I expected — and it made a few people laugh, which is always a win.
I’ll update this post Friday with a finished photo of the kit, but in the meantime, here’s the video I made while working on it:
I’m trying to post more regularly here again — so if you’re into behind-the-scenes craft content, bits of everyday life, and fun digital downloads, stick around. I’ll be sharing more soon!
