My Big New...A Launch into Digital

Many of you know me as a stamper, scrapbooker, crafter and project designer, however you may not be aware that I have also been a graphic designer & illustrator for over 25 years. In the past I have designed logos, ads and other marketing materials for clients, and since being introduced to the craft and hobby industry, my designs have appeared on papers, stamps and product packaging. I have been wanting to get back to doing more designing and illustrating and was accepted to be one of the designers for a wonderful site called MyGraficO.com. It features clip art, digital art, papers, stationery designs and more from talented artists from around the world. These designs can be printed out, colored in, or used to create digital and hybrid crafts including cards, scrapbook layouts, albums, tags, craft projects and even embroidery. My digital designs can be found by clicking on my name in the left hand column, (this link will take you there, too!) where you will be taken to a list of items in my shop. Since I am busily working on new products, there will continually be more products added to my shop, so check back often and please tell all your friends!!!

Who doesn’t like getting something for free, right? To kick off my launch into digital, I am offering this combo pack of digital papers as a free download. Follow this link. Register at the site, add to your cart, and the file will be emailed to you! I saved my favorites to share with you all and I hope you enjoy using them on projects. Be sure to email me so I can post your examples on my blog, or you can post them in the mygrafico gallery, too!

Keep checking back for more news about my digi art design team and new freebies!

Please share this blog post with all your friends and family.

Can you tell I am a little beyond excited? LOL!!!

I wanna be a Scrap Girl!

Art is my passion, and that is hard to deny! I can't describe how alive it makes me feel to create, whether it is working on an article, making a card or layout, crafting a really cool project or pouring myself into a design assignment.

Lately, I have been really missing illustrating and designing. I used to design stamps, papers and scrap accessories, so when I heard that Scrap Girls, one of the premier digital scrapbooking sites, was looking for product designers, I felt that it was time to get busy working on a collection and my application. Scrap Girls is an amazing site, voted among the top 50 for scrapbooking, digital scrapbooking & hybrid sites. They offer great digital products (such as papers, embellishments, templates and layouts), along with books and creative tools for digital scrapbooking. Thinking about trying out digital scrapbooking and crafting? Sign up for their newsletter to see products and projects that you can create digitally. It is full of inspiration along with digital freebies you can download.

This “free spirited” butterfly is just one of my other digital brush ideas. Digital brushes can be used at different sizes and in different colors to create patterns or elements on cards & layouts. I thought it was such an appropriate one to share as a sneak peek since it represents my own transition into the world of digital designing. Sorry that I can't share any more ideas with you just yet, but I need to wait until I hear back from them. {wish me luck!} Don’t worry...I will be working on lots of digital artwork and will be sharing with you soon where you can purchase them!

30 Days ’til Christmas Countdown - free digi poem!

Well, Christmas is just 30 days away and in honor of this I created

a poem, based upon the ol’ Hickory, Dickory Dock rhyme.

Read it and enjoy...I created it as a digital png file so you can

use it on a digital layout or to make a digital card. Just leave 

me a comment or email me if you would like to receive this 

holiday FREEBIE from me as a thank you for checking out my blog!

I will be trying to post a project a day to keep you creatively 

inspired throughout the holiday season. So check back daily

and leave me comments. I always love reading them!
