Micheline Martin was in one of the very first issues of The Digi Files over two and a half years ago and I’m so excited to welcome her back! My team LOVED Micheline’s contribution this month and had so much fun creating with it! Micheline’s fun, shabby, modern style is so fun to work with and the theming in “Geek Chic” resonated with each of us! Let’s take a closer look at “Geek Chic” that is included in The Digi Files this month:
Here are some layouts created using Micheline Martin’s contribution:

My Name is Micheline Martin. I was born and raised in North Bay, Ontario, Canada where I am still living and raising my children alongside my amazing husband of 8 years, Mystaya who is 8 and Logan who is 6. I currently run a in-home daycare and have been for 6 years now. I also design in my free time. I am honored to have been asked to participate in the digi files.

It all started for me 6 weeks after my son was born, I was in a “mommy forum” online and we would make sig tags with pictures of our children in them. I found myself wanting to know how to make the items that were used in the tags and really haven’t looked back since 
Actually what suprises most people is that I do not scrap, I haven’t scrapped in gosh I don’t even know how long, I’ve only made a total of like 10 layouts. I always found scrapping so much harder then designing.
Everything around me inspires me, magazines, my children’s clothes/books/toys, tv, pretty much anything and everything.
Computer: I use a dell inspiron 1545 and have 4GB of RAM.
Software: My Must have is PSP9 (I am self tought and have never upgraded lol) and PSE 8.
Camera: My iphone4 
my camera is broken and I am saving up for a Canon.
Anything Else: I use a Wacom Tablet, but rarely ever use it.
Try not to design in the wee hours in the morning always use “fresh” eyes. When staying up until the wee hours in the morning to finish that kit, make sure to ALWAYS double check your work after a good nights sleep, I don’t know how many times I have been half asleep and accidentally saved a png as a jpg or forgot to save the paper that took me hours to do.
Monsters Under My Bed
Just a Girl

I really like her papers. Dreamer and My Little Mister are kits I have put on my wish list. Oh okay I also added Morning Coffee too
Thanks for the chance to win.
This kit looks such fun – love the glasses!
I have a couple of her collabs, and they are lovely! I would love to win some $$ to spend in her store. Thanks for the chance.
Geek Chic and all the kits shown are amazing and in her shop I also love Sugar, Sugar! I’d love to win…she has a great sale going on! I agree with others who say that Geek Chic is worth getting this month’s digi files…I will definitely use this kit! Thanks for the chance!
Love her designs… Scribbled out is fun… I can’t wait to play with her addition to the digi files.
Micheline is from North Bay?! I’m from Northern Ontario, too! In fact, I spend a couple of days every summer in North Bay. Small, small world. Love her stuff! TDF contribution this month is AMAZING.
In a word – versatile! So many of Michelle’s kits could work for lay outs of my nephew or his big sister. Not only did I see a sweet little doodle of a laptop, but also “old tech” cassette tapes-perfect for those of us with an affection for both.
Love this one, I am still in the process of downloading the files for this month and look forward to unzipping this one. I would love a chance to win a coupon for Micheline’s store, love her stuff. She’s also from my neck of the woods also, only about 1 hour away – I didn’t even realize she was Canadian, let alone that close to my home town … cool!
Geek Chic is such a fun kit!! I can forsee so many uses for it.
I LOOOOVE Micheline Martin’s designs!! Super excited to see her in the Digi Files this month, and boy would I love a $10 gc to her store… i have several kits from her but always want more lol!!
I love the colors in “moments like this.”
I love Micheline’s kits! They are always so beautiful, quirky and just plain awesome!
This is pretty hard not to choose everything… but, I’m a huge fan of textured papers, so Moments Like This is really one of my faves!
This month’s kit looks like a fun one to play with – thanks!
oooh totally love her stuff….wow a new designer products to drool over!!
Loved the contribution, Geek Chic. My daughter has taken to wearing clear glasses because her friends have glasses. Perfect kit for me. Thanks so much. Beautiful store! And, on sale! I love the colors in Petit Leon and of course, Monsters Under my Bed. Micheline is a standout designer. (and your CT is amazing!)
Oh, I LOVE loud!! Do they even make cassette tapes any more?
I didn’t know about the Digi files 2 1/2 years ago, so am very excited to get Geek Chic this month! I also love Loud and Monsters Under My Bed!
OMG!! I love her designs! And I love the fact that she’s “in my neck of the woods” … just a few hours drive from where I live! “Click” would be great to add to my collection of photo-focused digi kits!!
I think it’s fun when you bring back designers who were here in the very beginning! I also think it would be fun if you’d link back to the other time(s) when they’ve appeared
I thought this kit was so fun–I’m the head geek in a pretty geeky family! From Micheline’s shop, I loved Mischief Maker and Robo Boy. Perfect for the little boys who are spending the weekend for me and are my youngest geeks! More fun! lol!
This kit has a lovely palette and I think the camera paper is my favourite.
Loved this kit this month. I have never seen Micheline’s work before and will definitely be getting more after this one. I have so many planned pages about my geeky self to scrap with it!
Mi this is so delicious…but then they always are! Gorgeous work girlie! x
Wow! I LOVE her stuff!
Micheline rocks! Her style is so unique. I love to scrap with her stuff.
I love Micheline’s designs! Her papers are always so yummy!
One of the most value-for-money purchases I’ve made in the digi world was a collab grab bag that had Micheline’s designs on it. I so loved it. Looking forward to downloading this month’s files
This kit alone is worth me getting the digi files this month.
Love the designs. So excited to play with the kit in this month’s Files.
