All the latest news from the Studio ...
11/1/10 New Libby Collections are bold & graphic
One of my goals when I opened the Studio was to bring bold, textile-like graphics to digital scrapbooking. With the help of digital designer James VanHoose, I've done just that. The Libby Collection is available in Classic Colors (digital paper) and in the Brinley Palette (paper, page accessories and a full kit).
10/21/10 Cascadia Collection features motifs by linocut artist Sunny Rickard
Sunny Rickard is one of our new Associate Product designers and the owner of Puddlejumpin' Cards. I was thrilled to use some of her woodland motifs to create the Cascadia Collection, which includes patterned digital paper, page accessories, and a full kit. It gave me the chance to scrap a wilderness camping trip from last summer at last! The next patterns to feature Sunny's artwork will be wet and wonderful—umbrellas, rainboots, and raindrops. Can you tell we're both from the Northwest?
10/7/10 NEW Clean Sheets Classic Scrapbooking lets customers create easy and elegant pages FAST!
On October 1, we released the first of our Clean Sheets Classic Scrapbooking products: Hudson Quick Albums.
These albums are the realization of a long-standing dream of mine: to offer beautiful, adaptable pages you can use for all kinds of projects, from birthday tributes, to vacation keepsakes, to ongoing family scrapbooks. Every month we'll release two eight-page Quick Albums with great classic style. The albums will work with each other to give you cohesive albums. For a complete description of the products, download our pdf info sheet.
10/4/10 Classic Halloween is bold & includes "spooky retro" accessories
I had a blast adding bold orange and black to classic patterns (such as argyle and damask) to create the Studio's first Halloween collection (papers, accessories, and a full kit). It includes a selection of retro Halloween illustrations that complement them perfectly. Happy Halloween!
9/28/10 Nan sponsors Simple Scrapper's #Scrapchat
I had a great time last night at Simple Scrapper's weekly online chatroom, #Scrapchat.

It's fun to have "digital girls' night out" every Monday night at 9 p.m. Central (7 p.m. Pacific). Every week has a different topic & sponsor. Join us!

The first collection by new Associate Product Designer Tiffany Wilcox was posted this morning!

A full kit is available as well as a paper collection and accessory pack.
9/14/10 First "party printable product" posted
Now that's an alliteration! I created printables for a baby shower I hosted, and had so much fun I wanted to share it. "Quick Party Printables" is a set of templates that enables you to create pennants and banners, stickers and cupcake toppers, and cupcake wrappers, all with a scalloped dot and monogram. There are limitless possibilities for adding colors and patterns. Plus, I created two fun freebies to go along with it.
