I am excited to have Vinnie Pearce here with us this month! I was unfamiliar with her designs until Janet sent me a link to her store and I have really been blown away! Vinnie has some wonderful and unique papers and elements in every kit she does!
Let’s take a closer look at Vinnie’s contribution to THE DIGI FILES this month:
Here’s a little inspiration from our team:

I was introduced to my first pixel around the age 10, when my father opened up an old school paint program on his computer, I was instantly intrigued by the tiny little pixels making up the images. An eye was the first image I created with pixels. I had no idea I would end up working with them as a designer, its a dream come true.
I started paper scrapbooking 4 years ago. I didn’t have much time (or money) for it, even though I loved the idea. When I started digital scrapbooking I was instantly in love! Finally I could use all my photoshop knowledge as a graphic designer for more personal projects. The transition from scrapbooker to designer came after the release of my first book on Digital Scrapbooking in 2009. It just seemed like the most obvious and natural step to take.

Everything around me that is a result of design and creative thinking.

Love the Changes mini-kit. Beautiful colors!
Pieces of Me 3 as I already own the 2 others. Thanks so much for the chance to win.
I’d love to have the Pieces of Me III Collection and some (or all LOL) of her gorgeous mask sets!
LOVE the Distressed Photo Masks – SET 01, Night Bird is UBER-COOL, and Pieces of Me is GORGEOUS! I’d be happy to have any of them!
Love all her products! The canvas you showed in “From the designers canvas” was beautiful. Would love to know how she did it!
Awesome products! I must go check out her site!
I have so many of Vinnie’s kits and was so tickled to see her work included in this month’s Digi Files. I haven’t picked up her newest set, Cute & Wild yet. That’s going on my wish list!
Oh, all of that is so PERFECT.
I decide to go buy the DigiFiles, so I’ll have a beautiful kit. And maybe ……… after that you will ‘Give me simply templates’.
I’m so going to have to buy January’s kit now! Gorgeous. Have to wait till after the 25th.
All of her stuff is gorgeous!
I love the Kids Hospital Charity kit – so cute! I’m already picturing how to use it to document my husband’s broken leg!
And I LOVE Vinnie’s kit from the Digi Files – my favourite is the quote – “if the shoe fits, buy the matching handbag”. I can’t wait to scrap with the kit!
I love all the photo masks! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the 1000 miles mini kit… simply gorgeous!
absolutely beautiful shop!
I really like the I love you kit!
Thanks for the chance!!!
Wow I love Vinnie’s entire store
If I have to pick a favorite though it has to be her new Pieces Of Me III – Collection! Great interview and thanks for the chance to win!
I found many that I like, although I think my favorite is the My Sister, My Friend kit. I really like the kit for TDD also. Thanks!
I enjoyed browsing through Vinnie’s store very much! It’s so hard to pick something. I will pick Playing in the Snow for now! But I really love all the pink in the kit for TDD!!
I have loved Vinnie’s designs for a long time now. I have most of them, with the exception of some of the latest designs…but it is only a matter of time before I buy those too I am sure!!
Oh, I LOVE the 1000 miles kit!
Thanks for the chance to win!
And thanks, Vinnie, for the TDD kit this month – it’s gorgeous!!
I loved the mini kit in the DigiFiles, and I would say Young Beauty full kit is probably my fave in her store, although of course it’s very hard to choose! Also love Running & Jumping and My Sister My Friend even though I don’t have a sister.
Wow! What a beautiful selection! It’s tough to choose my favorite, so I’d say it would either be “Placid” or “Travel Chic.” So many choices!!
I have had the kit, Forecast, in my shopping cart for months waiting for a sale and/or my budget to give me that final nudge. I love all the fine details in Vinnie’s kits.
Wow! What a selection of kits! Loving the Grunge Floral Masks set 1, Running and Jumping kit, She’s a doll and all of her word art and templates are gorgeous too! (And please don’t tell me she lives by a beach like that on her canvas with beautiful turquoise water- I’m so craving warmth right now!)
Vinnie’s an incredible designer! It was so difficult to pick just one product, but I think the first kit I’ll buy from her will be Forecast – I adore those papers, and it’s just so fun!
Thanks, Daily Digi, for introducing so many amazing designers – that’s definitely my favorite thing about this site.
I love the 1000 miles mini kit!!!
I really like the Kid’s Hospital Mini kit – with a 4 year old little boy at home, trips to Urgent Care and the ER are much too frequent!
So many cute things! Art corner paper packs are really nice. Also love so many of the mini kits!
Ohhhhh…. love Vinnie! I can’t decide between Wishes & Dreams and My Sister. My Friend … the papers in both of them are beautiful!!!
The 1,000 miles mini kit is awesome! I was about to buy it when I remembered that I’ve already spent my digi-budget this month….and I couldn’t go over. I would love to win it though! Loved her stuff!
I love all of Vinnie’s things! I cannot just pick one! I really love the grungy look! So I am totally drawn to her items with all the grunge!
Thanks for showing the inspirational layouts. I was a little stumped on how to use this addition to the digi Files because the Elements threw me a little… But the paper is just gorgeous… I’m definately in love with a new designer…
Just added Romance Me kit to my wish list too. Thanks for the eye candy.
I love Vinnie’s photo masks, especially Grunge Floral Masks 01! I’m really thinking of making a purchase today!
I always love Vinnie’s art! All her kits are stunning, if really want me to choose only one kit here, I’ll love the Romance Me kit! Thanks
Wow! One thing I love about this site is being introduced to designers. I’m blown away! I love her Jingles collection!
I really like the distress brush sets, especially 03.
All of Vinnie’s kits are gorgeous! I especially like the Romance Me kit.
OMG…. I LOVE Vinnie!!! I think I have almost every full kit she made, LOL! But I don’t have Travel Chic… have to put that on the list with the Kids Hospital Charity… can’t pass up supporting a designer who gives back!
I must say I have a soft spot for Kids Hospital Charity kit as the donations are going to the hospital I spent many days in during my childhood. This would also be a great kit to use to document my studies towards gaining my Bachelor of Health Science over the next couple of years
