Showtime!



Showtime
designed by Sarah Barber

"Now that's entertainment!"

Fantastic old photos of actors from the 30's and 40's! Victorian touches everywhere. Art journal delights! Inspired by the graphic designer Eduardo Recife of Misprinted Type, I've put together this fun and artistic kit just for the inner artist in you.

Kit includes: 12 papers and 50 elements, giving you over 60 pieces in all!

Check out this gorgeous artwork by my creative team!

Soda Pop!

 
Soda Pop
designed by Sarah Barber

"Light and Refreshing!"

Remember those days of old when going to the soda pop stand was a good time? Reminisce and relax as you drink in this light and refreshing kit. This kit was a labor of love as I drew many of the elements by hand.

Kit includes: 17 papers (12 patterned, 5 solids), 16 hand-drawn and painted elements, 13 pieces of ephemera, and 20 other fun goodies, over 60 pieces in all!

Check out my creative team's layouts!

The Design Factor | Gnome Love | FREEBIE


Design Factor Challenge #2

We challenge you to create a mini kit - with 6 different patterned papers, 6 solid papers and 10 or more (unique) elements.

The catch - The 6 patterned papers must be 100% drawn by YOU!

Whether it be doodles drawn in Photoshop or vector images drawn in Illustrator or a combination of both!  Simple shapes (from your program) can be used in combination to create a UNIQUE pattern but NOT be the main design, we want to see creativity! (ie: a simple polka dot or stripe pattern will not be considered unique, we want to see what you can draw). Feel free to use your doodles or vectors as elements in your mini too!

Other requirements:

No CU can be used except UN-patterned textures/styles may be used on papers and elements. Fonts are only allowed for elements.
After watching Gnomeo and Juliet about a 100 times his week, I couldn't help but have gnomes on the mind. Here's my little contribution to the eternal war of red caps vs. blue caps. Kit includes 12 papers and 12 elements.

Want it for FREE?  You can find it in the Design Factor Gallery (with the download link) at DigiScrapConnect.  Enjoy!  Many more freebie designer challenges to come!

The Design Factor | Eye Candy | FREEBIE


Design Factor Challenge #1

We challenge you to create a mini kit with a summer theme. It can be anything to do with Summer. Such as food, playground, summer sports, etc.
Since this is a designer challenge to help you build your skills as a designer, you MUST NOT use any commercial use products, with the exception of styles and brushes, with proper credits of course.

Everything you create for this mini kit must be made by you. You may extract or use your own doodles, any thing as long as you created the items/designs yourself.


Your mini kit must include:

4 or more unique elements to represent your theme and title of the kit. Think out of the box, and be unique.
AND
1 Layered tag - 2 pieces of paper
1 fastener
1 ribbon or string
1 layered flower - it can be 2 flower layered on top of each other, a flower on top of a shape, or a flower with a button on top of it. It must have at least 2 layers.
5 Papers or more.

So I've created "Eye Candy," full of Summer colors and fun with my Blythe doll.  Tea parties and dress up are just one of the many activities I enjoy with my daughter in the Summer months.  This kit includes 5 papers and 13 elements.  

Want it for FREE?  You can find it in the Design Factor Gallery (with the download link) at DigiScrapConnect.  Enjoy!  Many more freebie designer challenges to come!

New Challenge System from Digiridoo Scraps

From the Digiridoo blog:
In case you hadn’t noticed, as of 1st June, Digiridoo Scraps has moved to a points-based challenge reward system. By participating in our monthly challenges, you can earn yourself a Gift Card to spend at our store. If you’d like to read all about it, visit our Forum here and see how easy it is to go shopping on us!

We have our ten challenges up and running and in order to earn your rewards, please visit our Challenge Tracker thread to set up a post that you can edit throughout the month adding your completed layouts as you go. You can earn your rewards much quicker if you use mainly Digiridoo Scraps products. You will have until the last day of June to submit your layouts if you want to qualify for rewards points, but also starting this month, we now have a designer sponsoring our challenges. You can earn yourself more goodies by playing along. Truman Studio is the June Challenge Sponsor, so head over here to see what Aly is offering you! It can’t get any easier for you to start earning lots and lots of goodies!

I've already shared a few of my layouts done with this months challenge, and here's yet another one, for the Quote Challenge.  You can find it here.  I also went SHOPPING in the Digiridoo Shop to find all these goodies.  Don't forget, all month long the entire shop is 22% off in honor of our 2nd birthday.  Come join us!
