ABOUT ME:
I'm a lifelong resident of beautiful Portland, Oregon. I began designing pages at age six, making little booklets patterned after my brother's high school yearbooks. After graduating with a BA in Communications, and taking a career detour or two, I began a fun and rewarding career as a freelance graphic designer. I have a deep belief in the power of personal photography to enrich life and increase joy. I also love modern design ... thus my Design Studio was born. I am an incurable optimist with the belief that everything in our lives works together for our ultimate good. I am crazy about my family, reading, dogs, road trips, the natural world, fashion bargains, and smokehouse almonds. |
CommentsClean Sheets Classic Scrapbooking: Pottery Barn in a photo album?This week marked the beginning of a new era in the Studio ... in two major ways. First, I signed six amazing modern artists to design patterned digital paper and page accessories. I’ve asked them for photos and bios and am excited to introduce them to the digital scrapbooking world next week. Second, I will be posting the first Clean Sheets Classic Scrapbooking product on Monday ... The Hudson Quick Album. Here’s a sneak peek:
A little about why this is so exciting for me. When I discovered digital scrapbooking in 2007, I quickly realized that style I wanted for my digital pages simply didn’t exist. I knew I wouldn’t use digitized silk daisies with drop shadows, ribbons, staples or stitches. When I tried to think so what I DID want ... my mind went to classic colors, classic styles, and an elegant earthiness. All I could think of was the way I feel when I walk into Pottery Barn. The sumptuous fabrics. The crisp black and white framed photos. The classic lines. Like this …
I love all kinds of modern interiors—including the bold and European IKEA—but somehow, when I thought of albums that would stand the test of time, I kept going back to timeless style and minimal embellishment. So Clean Sheets Classic Scrapbooking was born … in spirit, anyway. And although I’ve posted dozens of products (which I LOVE) since I launched several months ago, I’ve had those PB-inspired pages in the back of my mind. In the coming months I’ll be promoting Clean Sheets Classic Scrapbooking as a solution for people with classic tastes who want to create pages quickly and easily. Every month, I’ll be releasing a 16-page album featuring different color palettes, such as Hampton (beachy sands and blues), Tuscany (warm reds and golds), and Eliott (darker neutrals like charcoal and chocolate). And watch for more Clean Sheets Classic Scrapbooking products that go beyond digital kits. I’ve got no shortage of ideas! Now … if I could just digitize that lovely scent of PB potpourri for my customers … :) Nobody's commented on this post yet. Add A Comment |
