There are no words to describe the talent of today’s SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT. Vera Lim is just amazing. Every time I see one of her kits I am in awe. They just flow with beauty and gracefulness and I am literally scared to scrap with them. I am afraid that I will lessen the beauty of what she has created, and that just doesn’t seem right. However, after spending lots of time looking through her store I just know I can’t stay away forever. Before I show you some of the beauty I found, let’s take a peek at her contribution to this months DIGI FILES.
Such a sweet little mini kit with her typical gorgeous papers and realistic elements! I can’t wait to get a chance to play with it! You can grab this mini kit and other products from Shabby Miss Jenn, Flergs, Melissa Bennett, Jen Caputo, Audrey Neal, Pineapple Plantation, Sweet Shoppe Designs, and Heather Ann Melzer , all for just $5.00 in the DIGI FILES no. 1.

(I also want to mention that Vera is a designer for Prima, Inc! She had a new line debut this weekend at CHA!)
I practically started designing when I started digital scrapbooking because I created every paper and element by myself, even back then. After a year of doing that, people started to ask me to sell my designs…that’s how it all started.
Around 4 years now
Both. I might not have time to do as many layouts as I want…but when I do have time, I love to create layouts, projects and even paper layouts.
Around 30-40 hours, depending on the number of projects I need to finish.

Vera is one of my absolute favorite designers! When I saw that Vera and another favorite designer (Pineapple Plantation Designs) had contributed to the Digi Files #1 I was sold.
Thanks for the spotlight on Vera Lim. Her digital scrapbook products are exquisite!
Thank you so much for featuring one of my very favorite designers. Seeing her name as a contributor to Dig Files #1 was the main reason I bought it. I, too, feel a little intimidated to use her creations as they are so lovely. I feel inadequate to use them in the way they deserve to be used, but when I do use them, they make me look “almost” good. I enjoyed reading more about Vera very much. Thank you again.
These are so stunning!! WOW! And I didn’t know you were from NZ Vera, that’s so cool! Most people in NZ that I talk to have never heard of digi scrapping, so that’s really exciting, hehe. (I’m from Auckland).
Vera’s work is stunning!!! i’m a big fan
now off to pick up a few things – thanks for the coupon!
