It’s Thrifty Thursday at DesignerDigitals where we have a brand new item priced at just $ .99 cents and 364 items marked down 30%. These specials only last until 6am EST on Friday morning so don’t miss out.
Wow, these weeks are going fast! Somebody told me its nearly July but I think that must just be rumour - right?! Another iTunes challenge has come round again and I think you’ll like this one!
This is our starting piece…
Cool huh? Striking, and surprisingly detailed once you take a closer look…. So what will you want to replicate? The title behind the cut out? The blue and yellow? The blended pictures? That nice, simple, sharp titling? All of the above?;)
I created this page, almost a ‘lift’ but not quite… I am happy to have a bold, simple page for this Prom picture, and glad to add my usual sprinkle of elements, in the form of extra glitter !
Now come and show me what you can do! Post your inspired pages here in our iTunes gallery. 
Hi Everyone! Brittany here with another community member for y’all to get to know a little better. Meet Missy (known in the community as Missybaby). Check out her gallery (Missybaby’s Gallery). Her gallery is full of color and wonderful photos of her family (including mom JALong!). I asked her to tell us a little about herself and here’s what she had to say:
I’ve lived in Idaho my whole life and love it here for the most part. It’s super cold for at least five months of the year and I just hate it, but my family is all here so it makes it worth it I guess. I grew up with four sisters and a brother; I’m really close with my family and love spending time with them. My sisters and Mom are my very best friends; we have so much in common, it’s great. I have a little boy, Jacoby, which I’m sure you’ve seen on most of my layouts. He will turn two in a couple months. Wow! I have a degree in medical assisting, which I really enjoyed, and worked for awhile before I decided to stay at home with Jacoby. I just love everything about staying home and taking care of him. Our little family will be moving to Arizona very soon where my husband will begin medical school. We’ve got a long road ahead of us, but I just keep telling myself that it’ll go by fast.
I also asked her a few questions and below you’ll find her answers:
1.What do you love about digital scrapbooking ?
The thing I love about digi scrapbooking is that it’s not messy at all. I can work on a layout for awhile, save it, and come back; no clean up involved. There are so many fun things you can do with digital scrapbooking that you can’t with paper. It just rocks!
2.If you had to include 3 items from the store on every scrapbook page, what would they be?
Anna’s Stitching, Spot Dots Paper Packs, and Little Bits Alphabet
3.Who in the DD community inspires you?
I would have to say my mom. Her gallery is always so inspiring and she does so many unique, incredibly fun pages; she is so talented. There are so many others that inspire me with their photography and overall design of their pages.
4.What advice would you give a newcomer just starting out to create scrapbook pages digitally?
Keep it simple. I think using templates is a great way to get started. Browse through the DD gallery to get some great ideas.
5.Other than scrapbooking, what are your other interests/hobbies?
I enjoy spending time with family, my girlfriends, doing crafts, decorating, baking treats, couponing, and sewing.
