Today’s Feature Friday is all about Elif Sahin of Sahin Designs. Her design style is minimalist, clean, and simple… while being rooted in the style of the paper-scrapbooking world. Because of this, her products translate amazingly-well into hybrid projects, while also being gorgeous when used digitally. Her collections give a little of everything — brushes, flowers, journaling cards, papers, and alphas in stunning color schemes. All of her products give you the versatility to use them for a traditional scrapbook page, or a pocket page, or even a hybrid page.

This is just a small sampling of the beautiful and elegant designs that can be found in Sahin Design’s store at The Digital Press…

About the Author  Sabrina is married to a hard-working man and has two rambunctious kids, nicknamed Captain and Sunshine. She loves to chase after the kids, clean up their messes, and say “stop that!” 100 times a day. When Sabrina gets a break she loves to scrap, read, or watch an occasional show.

This week, we’re excited to feature the designs of Laura Passage (known to many of us as Wishing Well Creations by Laura Passage, or just WWC). Laura is not only a designer at The Digital Press, but is also our fearless leader! As a designer who also works in the paper scrapbooking industry, designing for companies like Echo Park Paper Company and Carta Bella Paper Company, Laura creates digital products that also have a distinctly paper-ish style and feel. You’ll find lots of flat stickers and icons in her kits, mixed with the types of dimensional items you tend to find used on traditional paper scrapbook layouts — stuff like wood veneer, string, staples, paper flowers, etc. Her kits are always bright and colorful and fun to work with.

Here is a look at just a few of my favorite products designed by Laura…

I interviewed Laura so that we could all learn a bit more about her, and here’s what she had to say…

Where are you from?
I live in the Pacific Northwest (about 45 min south of Portland, Oregon in Salem — the state capitol).

When you’re not designing, what do you do with your time? I sort of “unexpectedly inherited” full ownership of The Digital Press this past winter, and for the past few months my design time has been really limited while I have focused most of my time on expanding and updating the site (and there are lots of really fun new things on the way to The Digital Press this year!). When I’m not doing that and/or trying to find time to design fun digital or paper goodies… I like to (in no particular order) go sit on the sidelines and cheer on my kids during their sporting events; cook and bake; read good books; binge-watch my favorite series on Netflix or Hulu with my husband; and sleep (although I really don’t do that very much! haha).

What are 5 tidbits of trivia that we might not know about you?
—Before I had kids, I worked as a college soccer coach for about a decade.
—My favorite place in the world is the mountains of Colorado. I lived there when I was a kid, and nowadays as an adult even just the act of driving through that area calms me and centers me and makes me happy.
—I’m kind of obsessed with rainbow colors. The clothes in my closet are even hanging in rainbow order, because it just seems happier that way.
—My computers are all PC-based (and that isn’t going to change, because I keep buying PCs every time I need to upgrade — which I actually just did a month or two ago)… but I am totally an Apple snob when it comes to phones and devices. So yeah, basically, I am a walking contradiction and I know it makes no sense haha!
—I have had a love affair with paper goods my entire life. When I was 10 or 12, I would save up my allowance and spend it on pretty patterned paper stationary and matching envelopes… and then that stationary would seem too nice to actually use, so I would just hoard it. This info completely and totally explains my craft space in my home office, which is overflowing with patterned paper and other gorgeous crafty stuff. I mean, washi tape, people. Right?! I have a giant collection of it just because it’s so pretty.

Which of your products is your favorite?
Oh man, I cannot choose just one. I’ve done it before, and then I always feel like I am cheating on my other favorite kits, hahaha! I have multiple favorites, depending on the time of year / theme / etc. Right now because it’s summertime here in Oregon, though, I will say that there is something I adore about last year’s Project Twenty Fifteen | July Collection… I love the happy colors, and the combination of travel-themed items and outdoorsy things and girly florals…

And here are some gorgeous layouts and projects featuring some of Laura’s designs from her shop…

If you love fun color and papery goodness, you need to be sure to check out Laura’s products in the shop! My personal favorite item of hers is her Project Twenty Fifteen Template Bundle. These templates are my go-to templates for all my pocket scrapbooking layouts. With real stitching in both black and white, and tons of layout varieties, they are the templates I turn to when I have lots of photos to include on a page. They are a pocket scrapper’s dream come true!

Be sure to head over to Laura’s shop at The Digital Press this week for an amazing 30% OFF SALE on all of her products. (sale runs through 11:59pm ET on Thurs 7/28). You can pick up some of those amazing templates… or anything else that suits your fancy!

Hey there! I am super excited to bring you a new Feature Friday… this time, featuring Sabrina’s Creations!

I asked Sabrina to talk to me about her designs, and here is what she had to say about her work… “I try to give my designs a clean look because I like to keep my scrapbook pages simple. What I really like to have in every kit is a lot of wordart pieces, splatters, or coffee stains. I also love to make templates, which makes it easy to make a scrapbook page. I even love it when people use my templates and give it a personal touch. My favorite item to design are wordarts.”

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

I’m a SAHM of 4 kids so I know what to do… I wish I had more free time but the household can’t wait. I try to do everything that has to be done in the morning so I have some free time for myself in the afternoon before the kids come home from school. Mostly, I’m designing in my free time. I have to make work of our yearly photobooks. I also love the see series and taking photos. Also, I’m very active in the schoolcomité and we do a lot of activities during the school year.

—I love pickle potato chips; when I have them at home, I can’t stay off on them, so not bringing them a lot from the store.

Sherry’s designs are very versatile, and fantastic to use when scrapping your photos and memories. Her designs are fun, funky, and colorful, and always include fun embellishments. I love her patterned papers (whether available separately, or within a larger kit/collection), as they are fresh and full of color! I love to work with her designs, as they almost always contain a lot of flowers, buttons, and word strips — completely perfect for my style of scrapping.

Here are a few of my favorite Sherry Ferguson designs…

 

We asked Sherry to answer a few questions so we could get to know her better… so let’s see what we might not already have known about her!

I’m so excited to bring you today’s Feature Friday post, in which you’ll get to learn a little more about KimB Designs!

Kim has a beautiful design aesthetic that is extremely versatile. Her designs are packed full of goodies that make it so easy to pull together a cohesive and eye-catching project. Her kits tend to include amazing word art, unique patterned papers, and an interesting mix of elements. I love how her kits mix graphic design and traditional elements… and there are always flowers … oh yes, lots of flowers, which make my heart sing because I truly believe every scrapbook page is better with flowers! The thing that I love best about her designs, however, is how great she is at pulling together a themed kit that can be used around that theme or for a general non-themed everyday page!

Here are just a few of my favorite products created by Kim …

 

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

Where do you live?
In beautiful and sunny South Africa. I was born and bred in the small, friendly, coastal City of Port Elizabeth. Yup, a I’m “beach girl” through and through – LOL.

When you’re not designing, what do you do with your time?
I love to read, and have to have a new book ready before I finish the one I am busy with. Love to spend time with my family — be it fishing, playing golf (yes I do! — LOL), or just having a good meal or lazing around enjoying each other’s company. I try (and that’s a big try!) to bake… but to be honest, I’m probably the world’s worst, and have more flops than successes. And right now, with my son and his long-term girlfriend getting engaged — I’m helping plan their wedding for next March. So excited!

What are 5 tidbits of trivia we might not know about you?
— I love to to TALK and laugh at just about anything… but I think everyone knows this trivia anyway — LOL.
— I’m turning 50 this year *gasp* and not quite sure how that happened so fast …hell, my brain still says I’m 25.
— I lost 38 kg (83.6 lbs) in just over 4 months (needed to replace everything in my wardrobe except socks! LOL), and have kept that off for over 10 years now.
— I play golf and love to go fishing. Nothing like a good competitive game against the boys …and yes, I have rubbed a win in their faces a few times.
— I have a “bar trick” of keeping my legs straight out in front of me, knees and ankles together and turning my feet inwards so they go flat against each other (toes and heels) …it gets people every time — LOL!

Which of your products is your favorite?
This is always a hard one for me to answer, as my favorites change all the time… but I think the one I love to use again and again, due to our family’s lifestyle is the Anchor My Heart: Collection…

 

Kim’s products are so wonderful and versatile, allowing you to use them for all kinds of projects. Here is a sampling of some of my favorite projects found at The Digital Press using her amazing designs…

 

 

I am so glad to have had the opportunity to help you get to know KimB Designs a little better today! She is a wonderful designer (and person)! If you haven’t had a chance to take a look at her shop here at The Digital Press, I can’t wait for you to check it out! And even better news…  there will be a 30% OFF SALE IN HER SHOP all week long (sale will end at 11:59pm ET on Thurs 6/30)!
