Hey there! It’s Friday and I am super excited to bring you a new Featured Designer… Juno Designs!

I asked the designer behind Juno Designs, Jill, to talk to me about herself and her designs, and here is what she had to say about her work…

“My designs have a realistic paper style. I also create products that are suitable for both digital and hybrid scrapbooking (especially pocket scrapping). I love creating large collections that include a variety of products. And my color palettes are usually quite bold and bright.”

Here are some of my favorite products created by Juno Designs…

 

I asked Jill to answer a few questions so we could get to know her better…

Where do you live?
I live in Geleen, the Netherlands

When you’re not designing, what do you do with your time?
When I’m not designing, I like to go hiking and geocaching, play video games (my current obsession is Fallout 4), binge-watch TV shows on Netflix (Stranger Things, Orange is the New Black, Fargo, Gilmore Girls, Sherlock, Orphan Black), and read.

What are 5 tidbits of trivia we might not know about you?
—I have 2 pet rabbits named Abby and Ozzy
—I studied History and Psychology at University
—Besides digiscrapping, I also like to paper scrap (especially pocket-style pages)
—I love to buy books, but don’t read nearly enough to keep up with my book-collecting obsession LOL
—I love yoga and try to practice at least 5 times a week

Which of your products is your favorite?
I love all of my My Zodiac collabs with Amanda Yi… but if I had to pick just one favorite, it would have to be My Zodiac | Gemini. I love the colors we used, combined with the gold elements…

 

Here is a sampling of layouts using Juno Designs’ products…

Happy Friday, gang! This week, here at The Digital Press. we are featuring the fabulous Dunia of Dunia Designs! Dunia designs beautiful kits and collections that are perfect for Project Life and pocket layouts, whether you are documenting everyday life, holidays, or vacations. Not only does she create kits for these everyday projects, but her journal cards, stamps, washi tapes, alphas, and photo overlays are ideal additions to put together a complete project. If you’ve ever browsed her store, you’ve likely noticed that her templates are just as creative and unique as her designs, which ensures that making a stunning layout will always be a breeze. Her style definitely lends itself to a paper-scrapping/hybrid feel, which I know a lot of us gravitate towards. If you like to stack, shadow, and document your life in the most unique way possible, Dunia’s designs are exactly what you are looking for!

Here are just a few of my favorite items from Dunia’s shop…

I asked Dunia some questions so we could all get to know the gal behind these awesome designs just a little bit better. Here’s what she had to say…

Where do you live?
I’m from Brazil, but this year I moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan.

About the author  Heidi Nicole is happily married to an amazing man, a step-mama to 2 wonderful kiddos, and mama to 3 sweet and sassy furbabies. She’s a radiation therapist by day, and creator of pretty things by night (she’s pretty confident that she’s hit superhero status, but refuses to wear a cape). She loves cats and huskies, coffee, audio books, Friends reruns, St. Louis Blues hockey, cooking, baking, and traveling. Oh, and wine… she really likes wine. She lives a normal and happy life, and enjoys all the absolutely extraordinary people she gets to share it with on a daily basis!

 

I’m super excited to introduce you to another one of our designers here at The Digital Press… Tracie Stroud. Tracie is a designer who has a unique style that is all her own. Working from a mixed media background, Tracie creates fun products that look like real-world papers and elements from an art journal. She’s been designing for over eight years, and she loves the flexibility that digital offers — letting her incorporate her art into her designs. And the best part is that Tracie’s designs let customers play and express themselves!

Here are some of my favorite products from Tracie’s shop at The Digital Press…

 

 

And now… to find out more about Tracie. I asked her a few questions, and here’s what she had to say…

Where do you live?
Shreveport, Louisiana

When you’re not designing, what do you do with your time?
I homeschool two of our kids, so that takes up pretty much all my non-designing time. I’m also very involved in my daughter’s American Heritage Girls troop. I’m an avid reader and art journaler, so those are usually my first choice of “me” time. 🙂

What are 5 tidbits of trivia we might not know about you?
—I love to sing. I received lessons as a teenager and I was a worship leader in a couple of churches we’ve attended.
—Along the same lines, my sister is a professional opera singer.
—I have a degree in Elementary Education and Library Science and I taught in public school for several years before our daughter was born.
—Our middle child has moderate autism and we’re vocal advocates for rights for kids and adults with disabilities.
—My daughter and I are learning Latin together this school year.

Which of your products is your favorite?
My favorite kit is Sorrow, although it was a difficult one to create. I designed it in the months following the very sudden passing of my Dad. Although it’s a reminder of a difficult time, it’s also been a blessing to receive messages from others who have gone through loss, telling me how the kit has helped them document their struggles with grief as well.

 

Here are some fabulous layouts featuring Tracie’s gorgeous designs…

 

 

I hope you all can see why I love Tracie’s products (and the pages that are created with them!). There are just so many options and different ways to express yourself creatively.

There are ton of great pages using Tracie’s designs (check them out in the gallery here at TDP)! And while you’re at it, run off to check out her shop, too, because all of Tracie’s gorgeous products will be 30% OFF through the end of next Thursday night (sale will end at 11:59pm ET on Thurs 9/1)!

About the Author  Kimberlee is a lover not a fighter; a stay-at-home gran, a poet, and a lifelong learner. She grooves on saturated colors, Tuesday dance parties, optimism, glitter and sunshine. She colors outside the lines.  She is a dreamer. She is a collector of moments.  She is all about the story. She completed her MFA in Creative Writing and recently finished her M.Ed. in Instructional Design, but still can’t figure out what she wants to be when she ‘grows up.’

 

Welcome to another Feature Friday! This week, we’re excited introduce Hannah of La Belle Vie Designs. Hannah’s kits are always full of fun patterned papers, but she doesn’t stop there. Hannah also creates great alphas, wordart, stamps, and templates. You’ll find all sorts of scrapbooking components in her store at The Digital Press — it’s a one-stop shop! The color palettes are always full of fun, bright colors… with kits for both boys and girls.

Here are a few of my favorites from La Belle Vie Designs…

One of the things I really love about being a part of the digital scrapbooking world is getting to know the designers. They’re always so willing to share a little bit about themselves. I asked Hannah a few questions to get to know the designer behind the La Belle Vie label. Here’s what she had to say…

Where do you live?
Minnesota. I’m about a half hour outside of St. Paul and Minneapolis, so we’re far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet (but not too far away for a football game or the Farmer’s Market!).

When you’re not designing, what do you do with your time?
I’m a SAHM to four awesome little monsters (three girls and one super-spoiled little boy), so my free time is really limited 🙂 LOL On the rare occasion that I do have some time to myself, I like to read, bake cupcakes, and binge watch all things on Netflix (right now I’m re-watching Gilmore Girls).

What are five tidbits of trivia that we might not know about you?
—I absolutely love coffee, but I couldn’t stand it while I was pregnant with Liam (my youngest). It was kind of horrible — ha ha!
—I hate wearing socks! Wintertime is torture for me!
—I met David (my fiancé / partner in crime / laundry-folder-extraordinaire) by accident …literally! I was teaching my younger sister how to drive, and she hit his car. No one was hurt and there wasn’t really that much damage to the car, so I figured I’d probably never see him again. Clearly, he had other ideas. 😉
—I’m a history nerd. It was always my favorite subject in school, and I’m almost always reading some sort of autobiography or historical non-fiction book (right now I’m reading Washington: A Life by Ron Chernow).
—I love grocery shopping. Seriously. Probably sounds weird, but there’s just something about it that I love. It probably helps that most of the time I go by myself, 😉

Which of your products is your favorite?
Grace (Hat of Bunny) and I recently worked together again, and I love our most recent collab kit Under the Sea! The Little Mermaid has always been my favorite Disney movie, so I was excited to add an Ariel-inspired kit to my Disney-themed collection…

 

Isn’t that a great kit? I don’t see purple too often, but this works so well with the theme.

While I was looking through her store for items to share, I also compiled a few of my favorite layouts so you could see what people have created when using her kits…

 

If you haven’t already browsed through the La Belle Vie Designs shop here at The Digital Press… definitely check it out this week, because her entire shop will be 30% OFF through the end of next Thursday night (sale will end at 11:59pm ET on Thurs 8/25)!

About the Author  Kat Hansen is a creative team member here at The Digital Press. A Director of Human Resources by day, she loves the opportunity to spend a few hours each day being creative. Vacation memories feature pretty heavily in Kat’s scrapbooking pages, as do her son and “daughter” (of the four-legged furry kind). Kat has quite the sense of humor (she “blames” her father for this), which she incorporates into her journaling and memory-keeping.

 

Happy Feature Friday! This week, we’re excited to introduce you to Lisa of Wildheart Designs. Lisa creates digital products that have a traditional paper-realistic style, with lots of textured elements that can be layered on top of each other in Photoshop, as well as fun themes and bright colors. Her kits are almost always bright and colorful and fun to work with.

This is just a small sampling of the inspiring product offerings you’ll find in her store here at The Digital Press…

 

 

And now, let’s get to know Lisa a little better! We asked her to answer a few questions so we could learn more about her…

Where do you live?
I recently moved back to my hometown in Florida, after 15 years in Utah. 🙂 Talk about a climate change!

When you’re not designing, what do you do with your time?
I hang out with my family… binge-watching Netflix, reading conspiracy theory books, working on my epic ghost romance novel series, or plotting ways to make my 4-pound chihuahua and Chiweenie dogs instafamous.

What are 5 tidbits of trivia we might not know about you?
—I’m afraid of birds. Not so much pretty birds like parrots or parakeets in nice cages that don’t fly around… but wild birds, like seagulls, pigeons, etc. If we go to the beach or the park and there are a ton of birds hanging out, I freak out. The sound of flapping wings, uuuggghh. It makes my skin crawl.
—I recently discovered coffee. I’m almost 40 and never been a coffee drinker until recently. I was like, “where have you been all my life?” I’m in luuurvvveee!
—I have ADHD. While controversial to admit these days, since opinions about it vary greatly, I was just recently diagnosed at 39 and it has changed my life and how I look at it. I have a lot more self-compassion and I better understand the struggles I’ve had over the years. It also runs in my family, and it’s really helped us all grow closer, understand our challenges and develop strategies to compensate. I’ve learned to accept and even love my ADHD tendencies! Although it makes it tough to design on a regular basis and my releases can be sporadic, I try to embrace inspiration whenever it strikes.
—I don’t know how to ride a bike. We grew up in a scary part of town when I was kid, so I never learned. By the time we moved, I was a teenager and wasn’t interested in learning. I do, however, have some mad scooter skills and still have my purple Razor from back in the early 2000s when scooters were cool. 🙂
—I own over 20 pairs of Crocs. I ordered my first pair of Croc flip flops 8 years ago and fell IN LOVE. It’s like walking on marshmallows! I am a flip-flop girl and I cannot stand closed-toe shoes if I can help it, so I only own two of the “ugly” clog styles — the fur-lined slippers, and a pair of hot pink ones (because HOT PINK!). The rest are all sandals or flip-flops and they are awesome!

Which of your products is your favorite?
I would have to say my Smarty Pants collection, since the colors were from a Special Edition palette and I suck at color selection. The journal cards, especially, are my favorite!

 

 

Here is a sampling of some of my favorite projects using Lisa’s designs…

 

 

If you haven’t already browsed through Lisa’s shop here at The Digital Press… definitely check it out HERE! You will want to take a peek this week, for sure, because her entire shop will be 30% OFF through the end of next Thursday (sale will end at 11:59pm ET on Thurs 8/18)!

I’m so excited to tell you all about Rachel Hodge for this week’s Feature Friday!

She is one of my favorite designers — her hand-drawn digital designs just make my heart sing! They are perfect both to accent your pages, or to use as a focal point! From handwritten words and phrases to coordinated elements, there is something in her shop for everyone. Each of her products is typically themed in some way, but I’ve found that they are so versatile that I can use them in so many different ways. From traditional scrapbook pages… to pocket-style pages… to hybrid projects… her designs will really make your projects POP! They can be used in so many different ways including card making, invitations, school projects and so much more. 🙂

Here are just a few of her jaw-dropping designs to give you an idea of how talented she is…

We asked Rachel a few questions to help you get to know her a little bit better, and here’s what she had to say…

Where do you live?
I live in Melbourne, Australia

When you’re not designing, what do you do with your time?
I am usually running around after 5 children (and yes, that includes the darling husband) and picking up their junk — WHICH IS EVERYWHERE!

What are 5 tidbits of trivia we might not know about you?
—I loved Polly Pockets when growing up.
—I have a slight obsession with planning holidays to tropical islands even though the budget says ‘that ain’t happening.’
—I like to eat chocolate for breakfast (not great, I know, but I have 4 kids so I’m allowed).
—I’m a HUGE fan of TV/Movie thrillers like Criminal Minds, The Bone Collector, and Taken.
—I love a cup of tea when the kids are napping.

Which of your products is your favorite?
My newest release (today) is my current favorite — it’s called One and Only. It is a different take on the normal wedding theme, and I’m so happy with it!

And here are some layouts and projects using her designs that I think you’ll love…

 

After seeing all of Rachel’s amazing work, I’m guessing that you might be ready to shop! And with a 30% OFF sale all week long in Rachel’s shop here at The Digital Press (the sale will end at 11:59 pm ET on Thurs 8/11), you can take advantage of a great discount and grab some beautiful new scrapbooking items!
