Celebrate the Launch of My New Graphic Design Store for Digital Scrapbook Designers & Creatives:
I began as a mixed-media card maker, happiest when surrounded by torn painted papers, vintage textures, and bits of ephemera…still do in fact! In 2006, digital scrapbooking magazines opened a new world for me. The ability to create layered scrapbook pages on a computer—without running out of paper or glue—felt limitless.
I dove into Adobe Photoshop, Daz3d and motion graphics, spending late nights mastering layers, masks, and blending modes. Before long I was creating my own digital scrapbook graphics, opening an Etsy shop in 2010 and eventually designing in-house for E-Scape and Scrap, a beloved hub for digital scrapbook designers.
From Photoshop to Rebelle: A New Level of Mixed Media
Gilded Botanicals – Handmade Paper collection from The Graphic Design Studio. This set features five artisan-style digital papers adorned with delicate pressed botanical silhouettes in shimmering metallic gold, set against the soft texture of torn-edge handmade paper.
As my digital process continues to evolve, I have been creating extensively in Rebelle by Escape Motions, a natural-media painting app known for lifelike watercolor and oil effects. Rebelle lets me paint digital textures that feel handcrafted, from impasto brushwork to subtle watercolor bleeds. This innovation takes my digital mixed-media graphics far beyond what traditional tools allow.
Launching The Graphic Design Studio
All of that experience now lives in my new online shop, The Graphic Design Studio—a marketplace built for digital scrapbook designers, crafters, and mixed-media artists.
Here you’ll find-Mixed Media meets Shabby Chic!
High-resolution (300 dpi) graphics in PNG and JPEG formats
Color-coordinated collections such as vintage florals, textured papers, and impasto backgrounds
Ready-to-use printable scrapbook papers, overlays, and frames
Most pieces are created from vintage public domain finds and my own items scanned or painted directly in Rebelle, then refined in both Canva and Adobe Photoshop for professional results.
Why Digital Scrapbooking Keeps Growing
