Miss Mint for a long time was quite the mystery around digiland! For a very long time, no one knew her first name or what she looked like. All of the photos we saw of her were strategic in covering up her face. She’s so cute though, don’t you think? I just love the colors Miss Mint uses and her flair for combining doodled and extracted elements into one kit! She does all of the above in “iRock” which is the last collection to be revealed from The Digi Files this month. Let’s take a closer look:
This is just ONE of the SEVEN collections included in The Digi Files and when you become a member, you get a whole bunch of extra exclusive goodies and surprises! These will only be available at this super, bargain price for a few more days, at the end of April, they are gone! Here are some layouts created using Miss Mint’s contribution:

I don’t scrap often to be honest. I get my fix arranging the product previews but this is definitely my favorite page I’ve ever scrapped.
SUPPLIES: Sk8erBoy Papers & Elements, PMP Challenge Template #1.
To be perfectly honest I was never a scrapbooker. I attempted (and failed) to make a paper scrapbook ONCE 5+ years ago. Halfway through I thought there had to be a better way and I discovered digital scrapbooking. This was back in the day when digital scrapbooking had just begun to take off so there wasn’t nearly as much out there in terms of information and more importantly, tutorials as there is now. I was immediately excited about the idea of designing, not scrapping. I had been working as a graphic designer and had what I needed to get started so I just jumped right in and started building a store while figuring out how to design products at the same time. In April 2006, Peppermint Creative was launched. I was really just looking for a creative outlet and thought this would be a fun little hobby to occupy my time and hoped that it would at least make enough to cover my hosting costs! I never dreamed that five years later it would have become my passion and my full-time job! What’s not to love about a job that justifies jammies at work?
Good question. I’m not sure, it just kind of comes and goes. Sometimes I feel super inspired and other times not so much. Most kits start with a color scheme that I’ve either seen or thought up and the rest just sort of happens from there. The kits really do design themselves…I just watch it all unfold and see what happens.
I’ve always worked on a PC and just recently (cough, this summer) got a Mac. I’m still working on ‘the big move’. I’m having anxiety. I really don’t like change but the PC has just got to go. It’s near death. I can feel it.
My PC is an Intel Pentium 4 with 3 GB of RAM. I’ve always run a dual monitor set up (it’s non-negotiable) so with both the PC and the Mac on my desk I’ve got 4 screens going so it does look like I’m some kind of serious computer hacker. I’ll be glad to get some desk space back eventually. The new computer is a Mac Pro Quad-Core.
When it comes to software and accessories, I use Photoshop CS3, Adobe Illustrator CS3, my Wacom Tablet, HP 4850 scanner, Canon ip4300 printer and Silhouette SD.
My Canon Rebel XT is still kicking. I use it quite a bit with the following lenses: 50mm f/1.8, 17-85mm f/1.4-5.6, 75-300mm f/1.4-5.6 and the 430EX Speedlite external flash. I hope to upgrade to the 7d soon! I recently got the Olympus Pen E-PL1 which is one of the new DSLR/point and shoot hybrids. It’s pretty cool!
One of my favorite Photoshop tips is that you can create custom workspace presets. Once you’ve arranged all your palettes how you like them on your screen (or removed the ones you don’t use), select WINDOW>WORKSPACE>Save Workspace. Give your workspace a name and then you can easily access it at any time in the same menu. It saves the exact location, placement and spacing for how you arrange your palettes. This is particularly helpful if you use Photoshop for more than one function. For example I have a workplace preset for designing and a different set up for photography.
Every time I make something new, more often than not it becomes my new favorite product. Honest to goodness I REALLY love the iRock Kit that I did for The Digi Files. Aside from that I am loving the COLOR CODE Collection (it’s HUGE!) because it’s so completely versatile. You can mix it and match it to create endless color combinations for pretty much any occasion or theme.
My best selling kit is still Rainbow Joy. Everybody LOVES this one

I’m new to digital scrapbooking and new to Miss Mint, but I just can’t get enough! Every time I scrap I justify a new purchase!
Been a fan for years, so glad to see Miss Mint at the Daily Digi!! Love so many of these, and fantastic layouts, very inspiring!!
Wow i wish everyone did their previews like she does hers. It is neatly organized, you see exactly what you are getting, not all bunched up on a page, no offense to anyone. Just being a new digital scrapper sometimes preview pages are too busy. Just my humble opinion. Thanks!
Thank you for such a wonderful kit in our Daily Digi files this month. And thank you for the chance to win wonderful products from your Peppermint Creative site.
Have been a big fan of Peppermint Creative since I started digital scrapping!
Been a fan of Miss Mint for a long time! Glad to see her in TDF!

Miss Mint ROCKS! She’s so talented and funny! Whenever I have ordered from her shop I always leave a little thank you note – and it never fails… I end up w/ an email from her with some kind words and humor. She is a true gem!
xx,
Candi
P.S. Thank you so much for the chance to win!
Love the color coded grouping… I hate finding the perfect element but in the wrong color!
Birthday Boogie is my pick! All my kiddos have Spring birthdays!
I’m sooooo glad Miss Mint isn’t a secret anymore! She is pretty cute
and I love that she thinking about a move to Mac (gulp), so am I!
I really like iRock, and with my 10 year old daughter, she’s got a lot of pictures that need some rockin’ scrapbook pages! I’m also really liking all the metal in Wild Weekend.
Thanks for the chance, and thanks Miss Mint!
Totally used to cruise Peppermint Creative for all the great freebies! Thanks!

How fun to finally get to know Miss Mint! I’ve loved her products for years!
I love Miss Mint’s stuff! I have a lot of it! I’d love to get one of her Valentine’s kits. They are always so beautiful, but having a boy and not many Valentine’s pictures I haven’t been able to justify buying them. However, I’ve had inspiration lately and might just buy them anyway.
Holy Smokes! That’s a huge shop! I hardly knew where to begin! I loved the templates of course, but imagine my surprise when I saw the Brush and Floss papers and elements which would be perfect for my dentist-to-be.
I have been digi scrapping for a year now and love all that peppermint creative
has to offer!! I’m also in love with the vectors for my silohuette! I can’t wait to see what Miss Mint comes out with next.
I love Miss Mint! Never knew her first name until now. I love her alpha collections! I usually grab those up as soon as they come out.
I love Miss Mint! I have a lot of her collections. I would love to have Birthday Boogie and Green Cauldron!! Love it all and love all the templates!!! Also, great tip! I never new that you could have a custom workspace for different types of work!
I have loved Miss Mint for a long time! She was one of the first I found when I got into digi. I love so many her things, but among my favorites are the school zone, game night, and green cauldron kits. So fun!
Rainbow Joy is my favorite – hands down!
Oh my! I love the color code kit. What an awesome kit for a beginner like me!
I especially love the iRock kit because of the great colors (it even looks good on some of my old 80s photos).
very cool to get a close-up look @ Miss Mint! …long ago, her site was one of the first two I ever found when I discovered digiscrapping, and it was definitely one of the reasons I got hooked!
I have always admired Miss Mint. I remember all of the hoopla surrounding her hubby when she scrapped a page with him (he is HAWT!!!). Love all of her kits. Especially like her April Morning Kit.
Thanks for the intro to Miss Mint. Looks like I found another designer to stalk!
I’ve loved Miss Mint’s stuff for a long time! I used her Wild Weekend on a whole album I did for my mother-in-law for Mother’s Day a couple years ago. Thanks for the rockin’ DigiFiles contribution (haha)!
This is the first time I’ve seen her kits, and they are great! The many alphas are wonderful – the cork board layout above is super cute!
Miss Mint Rocks!! Love her designs!!
