Designer Resources

This is a list of awesome resources for digital scrapbooking designers and also for customers:

1. Digiscrap Designer - http://www.digiscrapdesigner.com/forums/index.php
For $35 a year, you can join and get very good tutorials on making elements, etc., useful for designers. Also info on packaging, copyright, piracy, kit ideas, a mentor program and more. I just joined Friday and am still figuring out what all they have to offer.

2. Atomic Cupcake - http://atomiccupcake.com/
They have great PS and PSE actions (some free, some $3-4 each) that can be used commercially as long as you follow their terms which includes saying "Special thanks to Atomic Cupcake for the actions." in your description. I just picked up 5 more actions Friday. : )

3. Digi Shop Talk http://www.digishoptalk.com/boards/index.php
You are free to post links to our site and your products, mention sales and more. Also a good resource for what's hot and happening in the digital scrap community. I joined tonight and made several posts about our charity kit, free downloads, and challenges at Digitals.

4. Scrapbooking Top 50 http://www.scrapbookingtop50.com.au/digitaltopsites/in.php?id=20
Take a look at what is being offered at some other digital scrapping sites to see what is trendy as far as colors, styles, new products, etc. Not everything has to look the same of course (and definitely DON'T copy, just get inspiration), but its always good to have an idea of what is hot at the moment.

5. Digital Scrapbook Previews http://www.digitalscrapbookpreviews.com/
You can post kit previews here including descriptions and links as an additional way to advertise. Membership is $12 a year or $20 for a lifetime.

Please let me know if you have some to add to this list!

Charity kit release @ Digitals

Digitals is proud to announce the July 1 release of its newest charity kit: On Angels' Wings. This is truly Mega - 380 Mb unzipped of lovely elements with a coordinated color scheme and every penny of the $10 (even the PayPal fees) will be donated to SANDS, a stillbirth and neonatal support group in Austrailia. Sadly miscarriage has had a huge impact on the lives of many of our Digitals designers so wanted to support this worthy cause.

Thanks to Veronica Culley for this preview using fonts LD Letterpress, LD Warm Heart and LD Elementary.

New and Revised Products

I have been busy early this summer revising my products and doing some new ones as well. It has been fun to get to design again since I haven't had a lot of time to do that. Here is my newest creation called Bracket Packet. It includes 6 sets of grungy brackets in varying styles, all saved as both as png files and brushes, for only $2.00. Click here to be taken to this product in the store.

I also re-worked two of my popular paper packs. These each contain 20 papers: textured, grungy, artistic, something for everyone. These can be purchased as jpg files for $6 per pack or for an additional $10, you will also receive the native PSD files and a commercial use license. See them in the store here and here.

Did you Know?

I have been sorely lacking in my blog posts but its for a good reason. I have been very busy, along with the whole Digitals team, making improvements to our site. Many have been implemented and more are to come.

Thanks to all of you who took a few minutes to give us your opinions through our survey. We had over 500 respondents. We are carefully sifting through the responses and making plans for changes. Please take a look at what has already been done:

Digitals New Home

Digitals has migrated to our new server this weekend. It is bigger and faster and will allow us to do so much more for our customers. We are still working out the inevitable bugs caused by the move so please be patient with us. We will have it all running smoothly as soon as possible.

Digitals charity kit featured in Digital SBing 5 Magazine

Simple Scrapbook's magazine Digital Scrapbooking 5 releases any day now and features the Child's Love kit created by the team at Digitals to benefit Casa de Amor, an orphanage in Bolivia. You can see layouts and such on the SS site.

I am so proud to be part of a team that does so much good for charitable causes. This project came about because Digitals designer Kelly Miller's daughter was on a 1-year mission trip to help out at the orphanage. I get monthly mail now telling how the children are doing and the needs they still have which are many. It is a worthy cause. If you would like to get a great kit and have every penny of the $10 fee go to the orphanage, you can purchase it here.

We are already putting together our next charity kit, so be on the lookout for it July 1. To read more about charity projects at Digitals, click here.

Welcome

Hi there and welcome to my blog! We decided to close the blogs on the Digitals site after a volley of disgusting spam got through, so now we are blogging off site.
For those of you who don't know me, I, along with my husband Rick own Digitals. We are part of a great group of ladies who design at and run the site as a team.
I hope to be a more regular blogger in the future, so stay tuned for more Digitals news!
