E-scapeandscrap ~ Designs for Digital Scrapbooks

Meet Designer Cheryl McCain and Sample A Freebie! May 2, 2011

Filed under: Designer,Freebie,Product Previews — Julie Mead @ 4:18 pm

Scrapbooking has been a part of my life since 1996 when I began paper scrapping with the ladies at our Church.  After 4 years,  I found digital scrapping and knew this was for me.  I began designing soon after, and have sold at several sites .

My heart lies in leaving a legacy for my children and grandchildren.  I’ve embarked on a journey of leaving an album for each of them called “My Life Before I Was Your Mother”.  It’s a work in progress and I know they’ll appreciate it one day.  I only wish I’d had something like this from my parents and grandparents to look back on.  I want my children and future generations to know where they came from and who they are.

Meet Designer Ruth Davis and Enjoy a Sample Freebie March 31, 2011

Filed under: Designer,Freebie,Product Previews — Julie Mead @ 7:26 pm

I love art.   All forms. I love to paint and pencil sketch, however both of these have really taken a back seat to digital art. I do still dabble and I like to incorporate my art into my digital creations. The day that I googled “digital scrapping” is a day that really changed my life. Quickly addicted, I began pouring myself into layouts. Layouts about my children, layouts about my past, layouts about me. Little did I know, that this would become a journey of self discovery, inner strength and freedom. Little did I know, that I would become a designer through wonderful support and encouragement from members of this fantastic team. And, little did I know, that I would create strong and true friendships. Grateful, I am.

March Spotlight on Designer Betsy Fawk of The Busy Elf Designs Plus a Freebie March 4, 2011

Filed under: Designer,Digital Scrapbooks,Freebie,Product Previews — Julie Mead @ 11:05 am

Betsy lives with her husband and a multitude of animals in a small town in Oregon. Their two girls are grown; one married and the other just out of college. So except for the noise from the animals (yes, there is a parrot involved!), its gotten pretty quiet. A perfect time for Betsy to get back in the creative swing. She has sold one of a kind designer dolls before and got into the digital world a couple of years ago. Now it is a rare day when you don’t find her tapping away at her lap-top.

She spends her free time reading, taking photos, and playing with her new ‘Baby’, the pup ‘Indiana Bones’. She is a lover of all things sci-fi and fantasy and conversely anything antique. She is brimming with new ideas for Digital kits, that she can’t wait to share with you!

Meet Designer Susanne Holm and Enjoy a Free Sample Kit January 30, 2011

Filed under: Designer,Digital Scrapbooks,Freebie,Sale — Julie Mead @ 3:20 pm

My name is Susanne aka Sus, and I am 31 years old (born 1979). I live in Denmark, with my husband Jacob and our beautiful son, Xander and also our two cats. In real life, am I studying to become an optometrist, and there isn’t that much creativity in that, so I love that I can have a creative outlet.

I have been scrapping for about 5 years, it started with our wedding and an online search for ideas, it was then that I stumbled on scrapbooking. That quickly changed to digital scrapping since that doesn´t take up so much room. I have been designing from the start, at first with very little luck, but with a lot of practice I have gotten the hang of it, and my style is mostly sweet with a hint of wear and tear.

Sus is completing her first year as a digital scrapbook designer. And, to celebrate her 32nd birthday this month, she is offering 32% off her entire STORE for the month of February.

January Designer Spotlight on Rose Thorn Plus A Freebie December 31, 2010

Filed under: Designer,Digital Scrapbooks,Freebie,Product Previews — Julie Mead @ 8:50 am

Hi! My name is Rose Thorn, aka Lady of the Thorns,  and I have worked with computer graphics and other computer software for a number of years in the computer industry since the 1980’s. I discovered the digital scrapbooking community in January of 2008 after searching for a way to speed up my work in creating a genealogical scrapbook as a wedding gift for my niece.

I have loved color, fabric, paper, nature and photographs, especially old and historical ones, for as long as I can remember. Growing up with parents and an extended family with many artistic talents allowed me a great appreciation for all things creative. I have tried my hand at a variety of hand-crafts and with digital scrapbooking I feel that I’ve finally found my artistic niche; this is the one that feels right.

Married over 20 years, mother of 2, when I’m not designing or digi-scrapping, I volunteer my time creating memory photo gifts and managing a web site for a non-profit group supporting bereaved parents. Please visit my BLOG and STORE at The Nifty Boutique.

Meet Designer Roxanne Hardegree and Enjoy Her Free Sample! December 1, 2010

Filed under: Designer,Digital Scrapbooks,Freebie — Julie Mead @ 7:41 am

Hi, I’m Roxi, a transplanted northerner to the beautiful plains of west Texas. I’ve been here a long time but still feel like I’m on vacation. I created my first photo collages in 2003 with Elements and discovered digital scrap-booking in 2006. I’ve been designing since 2007 and it’s been a challenge not being able to ‘touch’ my work like I can with fabric. I love gardening, used to make art quilts and teach, cooking, and learning everything I can about Photoshop. My real job is being a hair stylist 3 days a week (I have my own salon) and doing books for my husband, Blake’s, business. I love re-decorating my home and lately I’ve taken up learning photography the ‘right way’.

November Blog Spotlight on Designer Jen Reed–and a Freebie Kit in the Boutique October 31, 2010

Filed under: Designer,Digital Scrapbooks,Freebie — Julie Mead @ 4:12 pm

My name is Jen Reed. I live in the suburbs of Chicago with my wonderful husband, twin girls, a son and our black lab. In a nutshell, I guess I’m a computer nerd turned digital scrapbook designer. I began digital scrapbooking at the end of 2004 and first started selling my own scrapbook designs in May 2005. Over the years, I have co-owned a few digital scrapbooking websites and have assisted with the technical back end of several digi sites. At the beginning of 2007, I took a three year hiatus from digital scrapbook designing. I am back now and really looking forward to designing again! I hope you enjoy my designs–and they are Scrap 4 Hire friendly.

I’m Anne (Gouzinette), 37 years old, married and proud mom of Nicolas who is 4 years old. I’m living near Paris (France !) and I’m totally digiscrap-addicted since August 2006.
