I add to this page as often as I find new sites and designers that I love so check back often.


Digital Designers:

I design many of my own digital elements; paper, ribbons, tags, fasteners, frames, buttons, word art and so on.   But I also use elements designed by others, always by permission and/or by purchasing a commerical-use license. 

I especially enjoy using a designer's work when I have developed a personal relationship with them.  The world of digital designers and scrapbookers is so global, so on-line, that many times we never meet in person.  Still, we get to know each other via e-mail, blogs, and websites.

I would have to work full-time designing elements to create all the gorgeous stuff that's already out there.  My "talent" is in the page layout -- I have a sense of balance and proportion that helps me lay out photos and elements in a very pleasing way.  That's where I concentrate my time and so I often turn to my friends in the digital graphic design community to provide fresh, fun, or funky elements.

I am so appreciative of the designers who allow me to use their digital elements in my page layouts.  Their work and mine combine to create some totally awesome creations that I'm proud to offer to my clients!

Club Scrap - awesome paper AND digital products; I've been a member since 2006; love love love their stuff, you'll see in in a LOT of my layouts.

Tina of Tina Williams Designs - rich and textured; I'm a huge fan of her patriotic products.

Some of my scrapbooker associates:

Lots of people do scrapbooking for others, as I do, so if my "style" doesn't grab you, check out one or more of the following.  You're sure to find a scrapbooker with a style that "speaks" to you.  The important thing is not who you give your business to but that you get your memories preserved for the future.

NOTE:  I never list a scrapbooker-for-hire here unless I have looked at their work.  I love the layouts and albums that these designers have created!

Remembered Moments -  offering custom scrapbooking, portfolios, and personalized gifts; this creative lady will custom-design traditional OR digital layouts.
