Blushbutter I'm Vanessa ~ known as ~ Blushbutter. I am married to my Darling Chad (A Poet) and have four great boys - Connal (14), Caleb (12), Logan(4) and Rohan (2). I've been digital scrapbooking for a little while now and thoroughly enjoy it. I started designing my own kits because at the time there weren't a lot of choices available in cliparts that interested me enough to buy. Now everywhere I look there are beautiful kits and wonderful elements to make designing memory pages just a joy!
My all time favorite artists/designers would be William Bougueraeu , Jaguarwoman, Elizabeth Kyle, Selina Fenech, Nene Thomas, Harrison Fisher, Boldini, Alphonse Mucha, Rosetti, Leighton, Waterhouse, Emile Vernon, and several more of the great master painters, whom inspire me to express my creativity fully.
I've made many friends in the scrapbooking community, and have learnt many things from these friends who encourage me to pursue my ideas and make them a reality. I have conversations from around the world with like minded women and feel no cultural gaps, my friends and I have common goals, to preserve our memories into a printed and passed down biographical treasure to our families.
At the moment I am making pages from my vast collection of Vintage images, Ephemera, hand drawn artworks, digital creations and scanned unique elements (laces etc). I really love mixing up the medias of the modern elements and the vintage ones, some examples of those are in my galleries. I love to especially place beautiful painted artworks into my scrapbooking pages because it feels as if I am passing on a legacy of beautiful art to my children and that they will see and feel how much I have admired these artists who touched my life long after I have gone. I can only pray that they will see these paintings as I do with admiration and wonder that make my eyes and soul sing with joy.
There is nothing I have in this life that God has not given to me... which includes my being a Mum, Wife, creating, craft work, friendships, love and all I hold dear. www.blushbutter.com :|: Back to Top
Lie Fhung I'm Lie Fhung, a Hong Kong based Chinese-Indonesian contemporary artist and designer. I was born in Jakarta , Indonesia in August 1969. I studied ceramic art and graduated with a BFA from Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia . I have received much recognition for my work as an artist since an early age. Visit http://art.freefiresparkz.com to learn more about my art and to see my ceramic and installation art work.
I have always loved crafts, design and art in their many forms. I have worked as a toy designer in the past and since 2003 I have been working as a freelance designer doing mostly website work and occasional graphic design projects. I work from my home-studio in Hong Kong where I live with my loving, philosopher husband. This is where I createsher ceramic and installation art work as well.
In May 2005, I discovered the world of scrapbooking through my interest in stamping. Soon enough I stumbled into digital scrapbooking. As an artist/designer who loved working with digital imaging software, it didn't take me long to start designing and selling my own digital designs under the brand name Ztampf! at my own website. In keeping with my interest in craft, I also produce clear-stamps for paper-crafting, card-making and scrapbooking under the same brand name. My digital designs are available from several online shops as well as from my Ztampf!Shop.
I enjoy creating layouts almost as much as creating the kits and elements themselves. Creating things - be it art, craft or design, is the thing I enjoy most. Reading, watching movies, traveling and listening to music (and singing along with it!) are some of other things that I also love to do.
I take pride and joy in what I do and I pay great attention to detail as is evident in my work. My work is known for its high quality and its unique, artistic style with luscious textures and impeccable details. I can be contacted at fhung@ztampf.com :|: ztampf.com/ZtampfShop/ :|: Back to Top
Kim Hill I'm Kim Hill, designer and owner of CG Essentials. I'm a professional photographer turned stay-at-home-mom of two amazing boys. I'm 39 years old and married to my soul mate of 16 years. We live in New York State where we have a little over 4 acres of beautiful land.
I first heard about digi scrapping through a moms group I belong to and made my first layout in November 2004. At that time, I didn't know there were places to purchase pre-made elements, so I taught myself PhotoShop and learned to make them myself. After many long nights of banging my head against the wall, I finally figured it out and have been creating ever since.
My entrepreneurial husband gave me the push to start selling my creations and I opened this store on January 6, 2005. I get the bulk of my inspiration from fashion. I love to see all the new patterns and colors arriving at the various stores. I sell my designs at CG Essentials, A Cherry on Top and Scrapbook-Elements. www.cgessentials.com :|: Back to Top
Jan Hosford Hi, I'm Jan Hosford. I live in a small Southern town with my wonderful husband, our simply fantastic 10 year old son and bouncing Maltese puppy, Snow. I am a speech-language pathologist working primarily with children ages birth through 3 years. It is truly a rewarding profession. I love being invited into the lives of so many wonderful families and sharing the joy of watching their children grow and develop. It's also fun getting to play with Mr. Potato Head and bubbles for a living!
I have been scrapbooking for over 20 years. I initially scrapped the "unsafe" way, using titles, patterns, and clips from magazines to decorate my collage style pages. I discovered "safe" scrapbooking (you know the archival friendly style) 10 years ago.just in time to start collecting pictures and memories of my child! In 2003 I began helping a friend make a heritage style scrapbook for her father's 70th birthday. As I scanned the pictures and began "cleaning them up" I realized just how awesome photo editing software could be. From that point on, I was totally hooked.
I primarily create digital scrapbooks now; although I still dabble with paper ones too. I began selling digital creations in December, 2004. I truly enjoy the creative process and find digital design to be very relaxing and therapeutic.
I hope you fall in love with the digital world as much as I have so you can share your memories with family and friends for years to come. I'd love to see your digital creations and hope you enjoy my designs. I look forward to getting to know you and being a part of this amazing community. www.janhosforddesigns.typepad.com :|: Back to Top
Keepsa Hello there! I'm Deborah, and live in Kansas, the Heart of America! I'm married to the most wonderful man, (Michael). He has 2 daughters & I have 3 children (Sarah, Ruby & Royce).
I come from a very artistic family, and have been a Professional Photographer for over 20 years, Most of my time as a photographer has been spent photographing children and babies in the studio.
Photoshop has become very important in this field, so it was just natural for me to switch from paper to digital scrapbooking. It's been so hard to keep up with a career, family, sports & scrapbooking too! Right now I'm so far behind on my own scrapbook, I thought, there should be an easier way!
BellaScrapbook.com was created as a solution for anyone who wants to create quick and affordable Pages for their Scrapbook Albums. In case you're wondering why the name Bella, it comes from an Italian word meaning Beautiful...Beautiful Scrapbook!
Follow me on Twitter, I won't tell you what I had for breakfast or what my kids are doing! You can't have too many friends!
Lara Payton I'm 37, married & we have 3 children we adore and we live in Kansas , USA . Besides being a digiscrap designer, I'm a busy SAHM. Our family is quite active in church & community activities and family is the top priority in our lives.
I found digiscrapping while I was pregnant with our daughter in 2004 & I started designing soon after stumbling upon this addiction. I tend to want to do things for myself, so it really was a natural progression. I use Photoshop CS3 and LOVE it ~ I feel like I'm always learning something new ~ so fun!!
My design style tends to be vintage, but not always ~ that just happens to be my favorite style. I love colors & I have fun playing with different combinations. www.dustybear.com :|: Back to Top

J3 Designs Hi! I am Shawn, Designer and Owner of J3 Designs
I am the proud mother of 3 fabulous boys, My oldest son is in the US Marines and currently serving his second tour in Iraq. We live in a great little town in Iowa.
I started paper Scrapbooking about 6 years ago while living in Australia, at the not so gentle urging of my best friend Joanne! I grudgingly went to my first "class" and immediately fell in love! I quickly went from paper to digital and haven't looked back! I currently own and design for J3 Designs.
After being diagnosed with Breast Cancer, it became very important for me to preserve all those memories for my boys. Scrap booking is a fabulous way to do just that!
I hope you grow to love scrap booking as much as I do!
