We do this by enabling them to quickly and easily create beautiful digital albums and projects, and by offering simple and inspiring ideas for memory-keeping that will work for a lifetime. Our Vision Customers will delight in creating projects using their personal photos and well-designed, modern page elements. They will feel the satisfaction of creating simple albums that include several forms of memory-keeping. They will know this is a technique that they can maintain and enjoy for a lifetime, and that it will even benefit future generations. Customers will understand the value of both printed albums and online sharing, and will understand how the modern digital scrapbooking dovetails perfectly with their blogging and social networking posts. Best of all, customers will feel increased gratitude for their lives, and joy in their present moments, as they celebrate them through creative projects.

The Studio is here because personal photography has had an amazingly positive impact on my life. When my husband and I blended six children into a family almost 20 years ago, I began to consciously use photography to strengthen our identity. I found that keeping up-to-date and accessible photo albums helped us relive the positive activities—both big and small—we were doing to bring us closer. All the kids enjoyed looking at them frequently—even the teenagers! When I learned about digital scrapbooking a few years ago, I was intrigued. I had never been a “scrapbooker” but had created simple albums faithfully. And I already worked with Adobe Photoshop professionally, so there was virtually no software learning curve. But I couldn’t find the types of digital products that I wanted: modern, contemporary designs using classic colors. My first thought was to create digital products for existing digital scrapbooking sites. But I quickly realized I wanted to share my designs in a way that would be fast and easy for customers who, like me, wanted to spend just snippets of time and end up with beautiful, modern albums. And I wanted to offer more than just products; I wanted to offer simple information my customers would need to truly unlock the potential of their photography—for a lifetime. This is why I spent over a year doing research, ultimately creating 10 Quick Tips and the World’s Simplest Photoshop Elements Tutorials—where you'll learn just enough to create great digital scrapbook pages. And I loved the idea that I could help my customers begin design careers by creating modern albums for customers, and by offering personal training in modern digital scrapbooking.

I have been a professional graphic designer for over 15 years—and I’ve loved modern design for a lifetime! My degree is in Communications, which I earned with the plan to be a magazine writer. After a few pleasant career detours, I ended up happily designing magazines and a wide variety of other printed projects for clients.
