Che Yang: I Was Blown Away

DesignersStudio

I’ve been watching Che Yang since she opened up her store at Mscraps when I fell in love with her designs. I love her light, modern, slightly shabby style! I think my favorite things in Che’s kits though are her doodled word arts. I love the beautiful sayings that she illustrates equally as well!  Let’s take a closer look at “September Blooms” that is included in The Digi Files this month:

I had my daughter in the spring of 2008 and like most new moms I took hundreds and hundreds of photos of her and was looking for a way to display them so that I can share them with family members. In the fall of that same year my search led me to a very popular website where I discovered digital scrapbooking and like most of you I was instantly hooked.

A year later I was invited by a designer to be on her creative team so I decided to create a blog to promote her beautiful designs. At that same time, I started to create pattern papers and offer them as freebies to increase traffic to my blog. It was so much fun creating papers and I was quite blown away by the responses that I received from the people who downloaded my papers. I knew then that I wanted to be a designer.

In March of 2010 I started selling my designs with a friend in her personal shop. A month later MScraps had a designer call so I decided to give it a shot and got accepted. I have been with MScraps ever since.

I get most of my inspiration from my daughter and the internet.

I have a laptop, Intel Core i5. I actually have to look up on the internet to see how much RAM I have. Lol. This is what it says 4GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM. Lol.

Program: I use Photoshop CS5 to create all my layouts and Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5 to create all my designs.

Camera: I actually don’t have one at the moment. I was using a point and shoot camera but it broke on me recently. I guess it really is time to get a new one. Lol.

Everything Else: I have a Wacom Tablet and the Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner.

tipstricks
I don’t spend a lot of time treating my photos unless I know that I will print them out, but there is one thing that I almost always do before scrapping a photo even if I ended up turning it to black and white…and that is simply duplicating my photo then change the blending mode to soft light. Try it! This will greatly improve your photos.
