So it's never been a question for me. I want people to know my style and what I create by my name- that way no matter who I design for, or where I go, or what business I start, I can be followed by my name.
If anything, Lorie, you can evolve your name into something you really love. Like:
LJS Designs by Lizzie Jane Smith
(sorry... I don't know your full name so I made one up... haha)
or:
Let's Just Scrap Designs
(and have LJS as an alternate logo/mark on your packaging)

That makes so much sense, Brook, which is probably why I never thought of it that way. lol
