Meet this week's Featured Designer! It's Tracey Monette from Clever Monkey Graphics!

2013-04-22T03:43:00.004-07:00

Good morning and Happy Monday! Another fun day and another *AMAZING* MyMemories Designer to show off! This week, we are super excited to show you a little peek into the designed mind of Tracey Monette. She has some ADORABLE goodies in her shop and this week, they are ALL on sale! Be sure to hop on over there and check it out! Comment below to tell her YOUR favorite, and you could win a fun little shopping code to her store! Don't miss out! Here are some FUN things she'd like you to know about her:

My name is Tracey Monette and in digi-land I can also be found as Clever Monkey Graphics. I am married and we have a most wonderful daughter who is the focus of 99% of my layouts! We also have 2 cute guinea pigs - the first furry pet I've given into for my daughter due to allergies - all day they eat, say wheek wheek wheek when I open a fridge door, poop, sleep, repeat; and since we've got them I've had a permanent allergy cough as it turns out I'm allergic to the hay they need. Oh well, that's life! Born and raised Canadian, I have lived in California, Paris-France, and now the Portland, Oregon area for the past 12 or so years. My husband and I decided to be married by 'Elvis' in Las Vegas - the family and friends had lots of places to go have fun after our reception festivities were done! I've been designing for more then 6 years now - I started scrapping when I had my daughter - went digital when printing prices came down - and with a graphic design degree in hand, I quickly moved on to designing and I can't imagine doing anything else now. In general both friends and strangers find me warm, friendly, and approachable as I very much enjoy people. My design style is filled with color and often includes my custom doodles and felt elements. One of my favorite quotations is "Every day we have a new chance to become the person we want to be." and I try to live by that thought.

So take a peek and tell her YOUR favorite!

Meet this week's Featured Designer! It's Barb from Albums to Remember

2013-04-15T03:49:00.001-07:00

Good morning and *Happy Monday*!! We are excited to show off one of our favorite Designers here at MyMemories.com!! It's Barb from *Albums to Remember*!! Barb always has a way of creating just that perfect thing for the next project you're working on. Be sure to check out ALL the awesome designs she has in her Albums to Remember shop at MyMemories.com! Here are some fun things she'd like you to know about her:

My name is Barb and I sell my designs under the name Albums to Remember. I started my design career in 2009 as a hobby but turned it into a full time job over a year ago. I enjoy the flexibility of being able to work from home.

My design style has changed a little over the past the couple of years but for the most part I like the look of paper scrapbooking so my elements will often mimic what you would find if you were paper scrapbooking.I have a daughter and a son so I usually try to make my kits work for both genders. There are a few girl only kits in the store but for the most part you can make many of my kits work for boys or girls. I also try to add enough elements and papers so you can create generic pages out of my themed kit.

I often use My Memories Suite software to create my albums and don't have a lot of time so I decided to create a product called Page Builders or Barb's Builders to make the process go faster. Builders are pages set up with all the shapes and photo boxes ready for you to add the papers and photos of your choice. No need to spend time figuring out how to layout your page, the building is all done for you. It makes the process so much faster. If you would like to try a Page Builder for free I have this freebie in the store: http://www.mymemories.com/store/display_product_page?id=ARBP-LT-1112-10177

I have also teamed up with a fabulous layout artist by the name of AK Designs. I am busy recreating her amazing layouts into Builders and templates for the My Memories store. If you like pages with a lot of layers and some clusters check these out. Remember with the Builders and Templates you can always change your papers and embellishments for a whole new look. This week you can pick up a free AK Template sampler! Grab it now before it goes back to full price.

http://www.mymemories.com/store/display_product_page?id=ARBP-AT-1304-30991

And Barb would like to give TWO $25.00 Shopping Sprees

and ONE $15.00 Shopping Spree away - comment below and tell her YOUR favorite kit!

Meet this week's Featured Designer! It's Paula from Keystone Scraps!!

2013-04-08T04:24:00.003-07:00

Good morning and Happy Monday!! It's time to introduce another fabulous *MyMemories* Designers to you! We have some awesome Designers and they are super generous and creative!! This week, Paula from "Keystone Scraps" has some FUN stuff to share with you! She has a great selection of goodies in her shop and here's some fun stuff she'd like to share with you:

Hi! My name is Paula, and I'm the creative brain behind this little operation called Keystone Scraps. I've been married to my husband Tom for 18 years. We have 3 kids, (a boy and 2 girls.. all teens now!) and a small domestic zoo (2 dogs, 4 cats, and a gerbil!). I started paper scrapbooking about 13 years ago and turned entirely to digital about 5 years ago. I love that I can take my laptop along and scrap anywhere with no mess or clean up! It makes passing the hours in the car waiting for kids to finish up their activities so much more pleasant!

Because we were having a hard time finding quality kits in the styles we were looking for, I started designing digital scrapbook supplies in partnership with my BFF Melissa. We formed Keystone Scraps in February 2011, choosing the name Keystone Scraps since we are both from the keystone state, Pennsylvania! Since that time, I have taken over the reigns as a solo venture, and have been running along ever since! Designing kits is the perfect way for me to release the creative energy that I have stored up through the day. I find inspiration in everything, but especially color. I love for my kits and scrapbook pages to create a mood or a feeling.

There's a little something for everyone's taste in my shoppe. I love to scrap with a variety of styles and that is shown by the variety of kits I create. I love cute whimsical elements for my Disney World Vacation photos, and often create in that style. My Day to day pages I like a more refined, vintage, shabby Victorian look, so you will find plenty of items like that too! All my products are independently quality checked! Some of my favorite kits are from my World Traveler Series and Magic Every Day. I hope through my kits and my own pages, I can share my love of scrapping with you!

She has a WHOLE shop giveaway for ONE Lucky Duck here on the blog and ONE Lucky Duck WHOLE Shop giveaway on Facebook, so comment here to tell her YOUR favorite kit in her shop - and watch for the Facebook post and enter there too! So, check out ALL her links!

Meet this week's Featured Designer, it's D'Sign Your LIfe by D

2013-03-25T04:00:00.000-07:00

Good morning and Happy Monday!! You know what Monday means on the MyMemories blog - it's time to meet another fun and amazing MyMemories Designer!! This week it is my pleasure to introduce a new friend! It's *D'Sign Your Life by D* - there are some amazing designs in her shop and this week, they are *ALL* on sale 20% off!! Be sure to check them out! Also, comment below and tell her your favorite!! You could be a Lucky Duck and WIN one of two $10 shopping sprees to her shop!!

Be sure to check out the *Spring Flowers* combo pack used to make this week's blog header and all the amazing goodies in her shop at MyMemories!

Here's a few fun things that she'd like you to know about her:

My name is D, and I have had a long and wonderful career as a teacher primarily in Texas and an even longer hobby collecting teddy bears (500 of them!). In my rare spare time, I began making digital scrapbook albums for my family in 2005, often using my photographs as backgrounds. Since photography is a passion of mine, my family encouraged me to combine it with digital scrapbook design in 2011. By the fall of 2012, I joined MyMemories, which has been very exciting and fun. Hence, D’SIGN YOUR LIFE BY D was born. I most often begin with a photograph, or a part of a photograph, and go from there when creating my designs. Some papers and elements obviously began as photographs (as in my Beach and Baseball kits), and others are a bit more obscure. My heart continues to be a part of every design I develop. Because my family is the primary focus in my life, the most important thing foremost in my mind is creating memories that last a lifetime. I have come to realize that digital scrapbooking is addictive, and I can’t imagine myself not being a part of it . . . just like you! I hope you are having as much fun as I am d’signing your own life with digital memories.

Take a peek at all her goodies here:

And... as always, we have a Lucky Duck from last week's giveaway!! If you are: AMANDA or THE MOTT FAMILY please send me an email, I have some GREAT news for you! EMAIL: LisaJ@MyMemories.com

Meet this week's Featured Designer, this week it's SnackPackGu!

2013-03-18T04:00:00.000-07:00

Good Morning and Happy Monday!!! It's time to meet another of our AWESOME MyMemories Designers!! This week, I am happy to introduce Debbie from SnackPackGu to you!! She has some awesome goodies in the shop - and some FUN stuff on sale this week! And she's offering $10 goodies to TWO Lucky Ducks this week - be sure to comment below and tell her YOUR favorite kits in her shop to enter!

Here are some fun things she'd like you to know about her:

Hello Everyone,

I'm so happy to be the featured designer this week. This is such a nice chance to get to know everyone as I'm pretty new. I just started in February :) Well for starters, I've always been one of those artsy kind of people, in my garden or in my craft room. I'm still a traditional scrapbooker as well as digital. I started designing my own kits a few years ago when I couldn't find kits that focused on the photos that I was taking - sports. My youngest son was in so many sports and I was just at a loss when looking for sports kits. Anyway, that started this hobby of mine, or obsession as my hubby might say :) I've been designing freebies for over a year and offering them on my blog.

I live in Northern Wisconsin with my husband of 26 years and our Shorkie puppy - Chewy. Our beautiful collie, Lassie, of 13 years passed away last summer. We have 4 children that are all grown up now and either living on their own with spouses or in college. I recently retired from my day job as a Special Education Assistant in the school district, working with children that have special needs. It was a fulfilling job and I'm sure I'll miss all the wonderful people I've had the priveledge of working with. And now I"ll be making new friends! So I hope that you will stop by my blog or facebook page to say hello now and then. I can always be reached at snackpack_gu@yahoo.com.

Making digital scrapbooking kits really fulfills that creative vein in my heart. I use photoshop CS5 to design and of course MyMemories to scrap with. I like to scrap with the kits I make so that I'm sure the embellishments will coordinate and work with each other. Of course, everything is quality checked. I like a variety of styles so some of my kits are whimsical/cute and some vintage. A little of that and a little of this I guess. If you have any requests, please drop me a line. I'd be happy to whip something up.

Here are all the fun places you can find her... you don't want to miss a single one!

Meet this week's Featured Designer it's Caroline B.!!

2013-03-11T12:15:00.003-07:00

Hi there and Happy Monday!!! So sorry for the delay in posting, hotel internet is *NOT* always cooperative!!! But well, worth the wait is this week's Featured Designer!! It's Caroline B.!! We are super excited to introduce you to her wonderful designs!!

Here are some fun things she'd like you to know about her:

I am French and born in 1967. I am married and have one very special daughter, 10 and half. I homeschooled her last year and it was really a good experience.
I draw since my childhood and study Fine Art, Art History and Visual Arts and Fashion Design.
I was fashion designer but after the birth of my daughter I take time for her and took back studies at home. So I am ending a doctoral thesis in Art History, I will soon defend it in La Sorbonne University, Paris, France.
I began scrapbooking and designing in Februay 2004 and I sale in so many stores that I couldn't count. I stop most of them because of lack of time.
I would say that my style is somewhere between comic book and funny stuff. I paint, I love photography and I adore learning languages.

Meet this week's Featured Designer - it's Valentina's Creations!

2013-03-04T01:00:00.000-08:00

Good morning and Happy Monday!! It's another day to introduce (or re-introduce) you to another of our AMAZING MyMemories Designers! This week, be sure to check out the awesome designs done by "Valentina's Creations"! She has some beautiful items in her shop - and this week they are on SALE! So be sure to check them out this week and pick up some goodies! AND be sure to comment below and tell her YOUR favorite - she is giving away a $50.00 shopping spree to her store to ONE Lucy Winner! Here are some fun things that she would like you to know about her:

My name is Valentina and I'm 27 years old. I married 5 years ago and Live in Italy with my husband. We have no children yet, but I'd like so much to have one. Scrapbooking and Digital Art are my biggest passions! I started as a game and now it's my sole job and I do it professionally. I love taking care about my customers, giving them attention.
My kits are full of colors; I don't have a unique style, I love exploring new worlds of creations and following my soul from time to time. Any time I got a nice comment from a customer I realize that it's the most wonderful thing I could get. That's because when I create a new collection I try to put myself on the other side, from the customer's point of view, and I try to figure out what they expect from me. It's something hard to afford, especially if you embrace a lot of styles. You never know if this time people will appreciate you. But fortunately I've always been beloved, and I never will thank them enough.

Here are just a few of the beautiful items in her shop - be sure to check them all out!

Meet this week's Featured Designer - it's KapiScrap & Design!

2013-02-25T03:41:00.003-08:00

Good morning!! Happy Monday!! Welcome to the MyMemories Blog!! Every Monday - we introduce you to another amazing MyMemories Designer! This week it's Sandrine of "KapiScrap & Art"!! She has some amazing designs in her shop! Here are some fun things she'd like you to know about her:

Let me introduce myself to those of you who don’t know me yet. My name is Sandrine aka KapiScrap. I am French and I’m living in the South West of France.

I created my own company in 2000. I work in the development and testing (quality) software area. Three years ago I created KapiScrap & Art, which focuses on the digital scrapbooking industry. If memory serves, I discovered digital scrapbooking at the end of 2009.

KapiScrap & Art has designed a great collection of kits based on various themes (baking, vacation, kids, holidays…) and with different styles, ranging from vintage style kits like Baking Memories and Once Upon a Christmas to whimsical and more colorful kits like Winter Fun Penguin Style and Tropical Holidays.

Before starting to draw the items of a kit or to create the papers, I think a kit as a *whole*: the style, the palette, and I list all the items. We are two people designing at KapiScrap, so we often share the tasks as we draw everything from scratch and some items require several hours to be designed.

That being said, I have asked my CT girls Monkey’s Musings and Tin Tin to describe our work as they are the best persons to do so. They had this to say:

“Fun, playful, colorful hand drawn elements that scream out 'different from everyone else’s work.' You don’t use CU items so your items are unique to only your kits. Plus your kits and templates are well thought out. You have an eye for detail which is why your work is refreshing.”

“I love that you have a lot of papers and embies that can really make someone use their imagination, and I love that your kits are bilingual, I think that is one of the features that makes you stand out. Also you are not afraid of colors in your kits. Your layouts are really original…”

So be sure to visit her shop this week and pick out YOUR favorite!! Comment below and let her know what it is and YOU could be one of TWO Lucky Ducks who each win a kit of their choice from her shop!!

Here's a few of her fun kits!! Be sure to visit her MyMemories shop to see them all! Enter the promo code below to save 25% off any purchase from her shop THIS WEEK ONLY!
