Nine years ago today...
...we turned the lights on at DesignerDigitals...
and they've been burning brightly ever since!
Since that time, we have never missed a Friday product release. That's over 468 product releases! I'm getting close to 8,000 products in the store and that's with hundreds of products being retired! I've evolved as a designer and my vision for DesignerDigitals has evolved. Heck, originally, I just wanted to make paper singles! LOL! I'd say I make more than paper singles these days. And a number of my collections have been produced in paper too! I've been lucky enough to work with My Mind's Eye, Pink Paislee, BoBunny, Autumn Leaves, Creativity and TrimCraft UK too! Seeing my designs published in people's layouts never stops being a thrill!
I've also evolved as a scrapbooker too, but I'd say the industry, as a whole, has evolved. Connecting to my artistic roots. Remembering my original intentions to go to grad school in NYC to master in watercolor painting. My idol was James McMullan back in '85 and I wanted to study with him. But I chose a different path and here I am. Happy to be back connecting to my artistic side but my graphic design training and years as a corporate designer still show thru.
This was how I scrapped then... next to how I scrap now...
I'm still making stuff and preserving the memories in scrapbook pages. Love that.
And we are still celebrating at DesignerDigitals with a NEW 99¢ item and hundreds of products marked down 39% to celebrate this milestone!
Here are a few of my favorite products you'll find on sale...
Be inspired to scrap and I'll keep seeing you at DesignerDigitals
for many more birthday celebrations! ;)
