My Digi-versary! Celebrate!

Last summer I began an amazing journey in digital design. I was blessed to be able to secure a seat in jessicasprague.com's Art of Digital Design class. This class provided me with the opportunity to learn and grow my own digital scrapbooking skills as well as develop an extensive portfolio of designer techniques essential for digital design. At the end of the class (after successfully passing an exam and critique of my first digital kit), I was proud to announce that I was a jessicasprague.com certified digital designer. And "by the Shore designs" was born.

I was doubly blessed to be invited in September of 2010 to be a digital product designer at www.faithsisters.com.

Throughout the past year, I have met some fabulous women (and men) in the digital design field. I continue to take classes to learn as much as I can about adobe photoshop, adobe illustrator, digital scrapbooking and design concepts ~ I have always enjoyed learning and look forward to continuing this journey. My favorite sites for digital classes are www.jessicasprague.com and www.reneepearson.com.

To celebrate my "digi-versary", by the Shore designs store at FaithSisters is having a 50% off sale for the entire month of July. I am also releasing two new digital collections - All Star Birthday - in primary colors and pastel colors. These collections are perfect for showcasing your birthday celebrations - as well as other special events.

A good friend of mine that began the design journey when I did is also having a celebration sale (through July 15th) Head on over and visit Kelly at SimplyKellyDesigns and take a moment to congratulate her on her success as a digital designer! (truly one of my favorites)

If you are in the US, I pray that you are enjoying your holiday weekend and are giving thanks for the freedom it represents. Wherever you are visiting from - WELCOME - have a wonderful weekend ~ enjoy the blessings that surround you and come back soon and visit - by the Shore.

Digital Scrapbook Day!

You heard it right! Everything in my store at Faith Sisters is 50% off to celebrate Digital Scrapbooking Day. (you may find a few freebies too)

I even have a special digital kit that honors you, the scrapbooker! This kit has bright bold papers and fun elements ready to create awesome layouts.

SCRAP SCRAP SCRAP BLOG TRAIN

ALL ABOARD!

Welcome to the Scrap Scrap Scrap Blog Train! All the participating designers have recently been certified as JessicaSprague.com Certified Digital Designers. We are celebrating our new status by giving away mini-kits on a subject we all love - scrapbooking! Here's what you need to know:

• All mini-kits will be available for download through October 8, 2010
• You can also enter to win a full kit from each designer on their blog. Each blog has different rules on how to enter so make sure you follow the directions!
• We will randomly select one designer's blog and one random comment on that blog. If that person has commented on all 10 blogs he/she will win all 10 kits!
• Be sure to include your e-mail in each comment so we know how to contact you when you win!

Now that we have all that out of the way, let's get this party started!

I have been scrapbooking and preserving our families memories since 1994. Around 2005, I began adding digital pages to our albums. I absolutely love both methods of scrapbooking. Tradtional and digital each offer a wonderful creative outlet while allowing me to capture memories for my family and friends to enjoy for years to come. In late August, I was invited to join Faith Sisters as a digital designer. This is a true blessing for me and a great place to call "home". I encourage you to check out their website. The digital offerings are wonderful and the inspiration is fabulous. If you like challenges, this is certainly the place to visit. Designer challenges are a regular feature. (and by the Shore designs offers a 1,2,3 Scrap challenge on the third Thursday of the month) SpeedScraps are on Tuesday. And there are many more challenges in the forum. Won't you come over and say hello, you can find us right here >>> FaithSisters

My "Scrap Scrap Scrap" mini kit is a tribute to YOU, the scrapbooker, and reflects both methods of scrapbooking. You can download the mini kit here through October 18th - after that the complete Scrap It kit (even more pretty paper and cute embellishments for your scrapping 'needs') will be available in my store at FaithSisters. The mini kit is my gift to you. You can also enter to win my latest Digital Collection - Life's a Quilt Paper and Elements! You can enter three ways.

SPECIAL NOTE: EACH ENTRY MUST BE POSTED INDIVIDUALLY

1. Follow me on this website (right column) and leave a message in this post letting me know you did.

2. Follow me on Facebook and leave a separate message in this post.

3. In yet a separate message post here (because I want you to maximize your chances to win!), please let me know the theme for a digital kit that you would like to see in by the Shore designs' store.

You can do one, two, three or all of the above. Each separate comment will reflect an entry. Please include your e-mail in each comment so you can be contacted when you win. Winner(s) will be chosen using random.org.

You may also follow me on Twitter and I hope you do. You never know, I may just extend a special offer there that you won't see either here or on facebook.

Your next train stop is Butterflies and Bluebells

Here is the list of all the participating designers and their blogs in order. The designers are from all over the world so please be patient if the blog train posts aren't posted yet.

by the Shore designs announcement

I am excited to announce that I have been invited to join FaithSisters as one of their Digital Product Designers. If you recall, last month I was part of a World Vision Challenge - to not only create a mini digital kit to be used in a greater collaboration kit - but also to compete for a designing spot at Faith Sisters. It has been a whirl-wind couple of days and I am still on cloud nine.

You can read about the announcement here.

My store at FaithSisters is set up and ready to go. I invite you to head over and see all of the wonder digital kits are in the store as well as check out the Faith Sisters Community. I personally have a few new kits and templates in the works and hope to be able to share them shortly.

I am truly blessed and honored to have been invited to join Faith Sisters as a designer. Thank you for your support and love. You have certainly made a difference in my life (but I knew that already, didn't I)

Have a great day.....by the Shore

Celebrate Good Times

This summer - my journey has been in digital design. I enrolled in an exclusive class at JessicaSprague.com ~ The Art of Digital Design. (I have taken MANY of her other classes and this is truly the best one yet) The class started on the first full day of summer break for the kiddos - so balancing the class was a challenge, but do-able. I passed the graded exam last week which covered the essentials - with flying colors. Today I received the critique of my submission of a digital kit. So positive and encouraging. I am PSYCHED!!!! These were the two components to the final exam and though I am waiting for the certificate - I am now officially a jessicasprague.com certified digital designer. I am working on getting my kits in an online store and /or etsy. I hope to have a freebie or two here shortly. In the meantime - thanks for letting me share my good news with you! Stay tuned for more info!
