IN THE DESIGNER’S STUDIO WITH MSCRAPS

DesignersStudio

I am so excited to welcome the brand new store Mscraps to THE DIGI FILES this month! When I sent Joyce an email to invite her to contribute to THE DIGI FILES, she shared with me a little secret about the new site she was going to be launching.  When she told me about the designers that were going to be involved, I asked her immediately if we could schedule the store to contribute as well.  Such awesome talent at this new site!  Let’s take a closer look at the Mscraps’ contribution:

I know it is hard to believe that you get ALL of this AND everything shown on our awesome designers page for ONLY $5, but it is TRUE, you do!!  It is also a great way to support what we are doing here at THE DAILY DIGI everyday!!  Let’s take a look at some layouts created by THE DAILY DIGI and Mscraps teams:

InTheStudioWith

My name is Joyce Paul, I am 26 years old (almost 27) and I live in the south The Netherlands. (Limburg) I have been married to my English hubby Nick for almost 6 years. (juli).

Some random things about me:
I love music and I always sing when I’m in the shower or when I’m driving.
When I was younger, my cousins and I “formed” a girlband called: “Jolish” – the first 2 letters of our names. (Joyce – Lindsay – Sharon) LOL — Of course, we didn’t get any further than our garage ;-) (we aways used to sing and dance in their garage)
I am very Family orientated – love my Family, I am a good listener – so they say
I’d rather help other people than myself (always thinking about other people even if – sometimes – it would be best to think about me first)
I can be shy, but I can be outgoing as well (when I am around people I feel comfortable with)
I don’t like drama
I don’t drink or smoke
I’d rather stay at home and watch a movie than go out
I love indonesian food – my grandfather is Indonesian
you can wake me up in the middle of the night to feed me “pepesan” or “surimi (crab) sticks”
yummy!!

To duplicate elements directly on your layout (not using Layers Palette or menus). Click on intended element, press and hold down the option key (on a mac – ALT key on a PC), your courser should turn into a double arrow, drag where you want the new element to be. As you are dragging you can release the option (ALT – pc) key. Also if you hold the shift key while moving things around it will move them in straight horizontal, vertical, or 45 degree angles, also great when trying to keep things aligned.

We officially opened up our doors on January 30th, 2010, I lost my job in June 2009 due to the economic crisis and because it was difficult to find a new job, I decided to start up my own business.

    MScraps is definitely one of my favorite stores. Amazing designers so it’s so hard to narrow down the choices. “Noticed” by Three Paper Peonies and Monalisasmiles is calling my name though. :)

    Lisa says:

    I think I am in trouble, I see a whole load of things I am in love with, but to name one I’ll start with . . .
    Imagination Collab kit, or maybe Serenity, or . . . I’m afraid my list will become quite long.

    Nicole says:

    I got so excited by seeing my layout displayed that I didn’t really answer the question at the end. Duh. Sorry.
    My favorite thing from Mscraps (that is on my wishlist) is Mumbai Lullaby by Polly & Rufus and Joyce Paul.
    BUT, I also really love the New Beginnings Collab which I got for free when I participated in their grand opening events. It is a wonderful store and community.

    After looking at New Beginnings, I understand why it is the most popular in the shop…the papers are
    wonderful.

    I have always liked anything by Kelley Mickus but now I see other designers who are new to me that I admire…Garden Party by Three Paper Peonies(and who doesn’t love a peony???)and Mumbai Lullaby by Joyce Paul (perfect for our son’s destination wedding this summer!)

    Thanks for the peek at all theses “new” designers!
