I am so excited to have Traci here with us this month! Traci is another designer that has been around for as long as I can remember AND also got her start at ScrapbookBytes. Traci has a great style and I LOVE how well she does bright and bold colors!
Here’s a closer look at Traci’s contribution to THE DIGI FILES:

Hi! I’m Traci Reed, I’m a 25 year old designing mama from Northern California! My husband is Patrick and my two sons are Karsten (5) and Josiah (4). I’ve been designing for 5 full years now and I’m also ‘this close’ to done with my degree in Graphic Illustration. When I’m not working, going to school, or carting the kids all over town, I love to knit, clean (loll!) and cook!

When designing, I find it easiest to always start with your striped paper first. This way you can see how all the colors work together and you can modify and tweak them before you get too far in.
When scrapping with “acrylic” elements, set your shadow to “color burn” in photoshop so you can still shadow the acrylic but you don’t get that yucky dark shadow mucking up the element.
I first started scrapping when I was 9 (yes really!) and I still have those scrapbooks too! I scrapbooked all the way through school and highvSschool and those are some of my most treasured books! After I had my first son I saw a digital scrapping magazine and was instantly a digital-only scrapbooker. I used photoshop for years before then and it was a natural fit. In November of 2004, I made a kit for a challenge I was helping to host at Scrapbook Bytes and went designer shortly thereafter.
Color, color, color and more color! I just LOVE color. I scrap with a ton of color, wear a ton of color and surround myself with pretty and colorful things. Lately I’m loving vintage and unique looking stuff and I just stare for hours.
Computer – MAC baby! I went Mac in October and I’ll never ever go back. I’m in love!!
Programs – I use the CS4 suite to design and ACDSee to organize.
Camera – Canon Rebel, but I hope to upgrade soon. I’m also thinking about a Nikon Touchscreen Coolpix for a purse camera.
I also have a tablet but I have a hard time with it. It’s not my preferred method of illustrating.
Hmmm, I love them all…like little babies! I LOVE the kit I did for the Digi Files, Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong but after that it would have to be A Lot Like Love which I did for my Hubby and I’s 5 year anniversary.
My Bad Sewing Machine line of products is my best selling line, specifically Don’t Be A Square 2. My best selling kit is Kissable.
Here are some of my favorite products by Traci:

Would sooo love to have Bad Sewing Machine IX: Have A Heart and Bad Sewing Machine II: Round N’ Round and just about everything else too!!! Thank you!
I just would love any of her stitches! Just lover her heart and letter stitches!! Thank you!
Loved her portion in the digi files this month and all the other contributors, great job! Traci has so many wonderful kits, but I really like the colors and the designs she did for Hip To Be Bundle, so adorable!
Love Tracy’s stuff! Beautiful addition to the files this month!
EEK! That Bad Sewing Machine Alpha is too cute! I’d love to add that to my stash!
It’s hard for me to narrow it down to just one thing of Traci’s that I like….so I’ll say a few: I LOVE 10 Things, Foxie Moxie, and Little Mister Big Man!
I really love the 10 Reasons and Whatever the Weather.
I got my eyes on a few things, but one I really like was East Meets West. Very cute kit! Thanks!
Tracy’s stitching series is wonderful! The set from this month’s Digi Files is great. I think one of the kits that I like, but don’t own (yet) is Sunny Sorbet. I really like the cheery colors of this kit.
I loved using this kit (from the Daily Digi) — the colors are just gorgeous…
Man! I love the greens, blues, and oranges in that In the Air Tonight kit!
I really like Around the Rink – it would be perfect for LOs of my grandkids skating! I Like 10 Things a WHOLE bunch – too – and I already have it!!
Stitching, stitching and more stitching. So far I’ve only collected a few of your bad sewing machine sets, but I plan on collecting them all! Oh, and I just saw that 1up kit, gotta get that one soon too!
i absolutley love your bad sewing machine sets, i think i have them all. but i’m checking to make sure i did not miss any.
I REMEMBER (and still HAVE, hello!) that kit from SBB!!! I remember when Traci went “pro” and have always loved her style and color combinations.
I did my son’s birth album in Vanilla Pearidise and it’s probably my favorite Traci kit ever. If I won, I’d choose “I Carry Your Heart” or “Frankie & Jackie”
I LOOOOVE all Traci’s stuff! She is seriously amazingly talented. Out of all her kits (that I don’t already own! lol), I’d have to say my favorite is “10 Things.” I just love the color pallete and the thought behind the kit. It makes me so happy!
Traci ROCKS that bad sewing machine! Of her other kits I love “Pieces of Me” and “Little Mr. Big Man”… I could list several more that I use over and over again though, lol.
I love Traci’s Bad Sewing Machine elements, especially the alpha and Write it Down.
There are so many great products in her store. One that stood out to me was “Promising”.
Hmmm….tough call but I think my fave is A Lot Like Love. The colors and patterns are so gorgeous!
Traci’s items are really cute. I really like the Bad Sewing Machine items, especially the Framed, Square and alpha set.
Traci’s stuff is so adorable! I love her bad sewing machine alpha set!
I’m so excited about that pompom trim. I’m obsessed with it in my paper scrapping nice to add it to the digi as well!
If I had to choose just one I’d pick a Lot like Love – its perfect for the mailbox tins I’m wanting to do – I think I’ll use the 30% off coupon and pick it up right now actually! Thanks Traci!
Traci does fabulous kits…and it is hard to choose, but I love her Hip to Be.
I love her new release… I loved her first, and one of my ALL time fave kits..Wild and Craz-He! Thanks so much for the coupon! Can’t wait to go shopping
Hard to pick just one but the colors of FlavorFULL: Vanilla Pearadise
These are my FAV color combination and I just love the description:
Pear and Vanilla has to be the best whole-house candle sent ever!

Love Traci Reed and own many of her kits
So nice to get to know Traci a bit more! I loooove the tips you gave us. Very cool!
Thank you so much for the coupon!!!! Your designs are so fun!
it’s so hard to pick just one kit, all products are gorgeous!!but I really love I Loved Her First, it’s perfect!

Traci is one of my fav’s…
And I can’t believe I missed the stitched Alpha. – I guess because I’m not really into the Alpha’s so much, but that Stitched Alpha makes me smile. 
Oh so yummy!!! I really like the Maude’ and Millie kit! So bright and cheerful!
I like the stitched alpha…and a surfing I shall go…
Love Traci’s stuff! She always has such fun kits & delicious elements!
Great products. The Digi Files are awesome this month!!!
I have really enjoyed the designer tips and tricks section of the “In the Designer’s Studio” posts. It would be very helpful if at the end of the month there was a post explaining in more detail how to do the “tricks” they mention in both Photoshop and PSE. I’ve often had a hard time shadowing acrylic elements, but I don’t know how to use the “color burn” Traci suggests.
Thanks for all the great info and great coupons too!
Traci rocks!!!
Yea! I’m so excited that I won! Tracie has awesome products!
I loveeeeeeee Traci’s designs!!! She is sooooo fabulous!!! Thanks for the coupon, Traci! Such a kind heart
I love love love Traci and all of her designs. She makes digi scraping so much easier!!
Thanks for the coupon! I have a couple of kits I’m gonna pick up!
