New Music Monday
Have you listened to Ed Sheeran? I know. He's not all that new. But considering he's 22 years old, he still qualifies as fresh in my book. I was familiar with his song "The a Team"—it's been heavy in radio...
New product releases
I have a few new product releases in the Designer Digitals store this weekend. First up: Hello Boylie J-Cards. Last weekend, I released the Hello Girlie set. Then I started working on a layout I'll be posting next week, using...
Project Life, Week Nineteen—still riding the digital train
OBSERVATIONS: Another week of digital Project Life is completed, and I'm still really loving this process. A lot of you have said to me, "I don't understand why you haven't always done it this way, considering how much you love...
New Favorite Apps

Project Life, Week Eighteen (fully digital and kind of loving it!)
OBSERVATIONS: Last week was an experiment in digital scrapbooking. No, it wasn't the first time I've done fully digital pages, in fact, as I looked through my files, I found tons of stuff that needs to be printed, but it...
It's not G-rated. It is, however, free. And who doesn't like free?
The Designer Digitals Quarterly Sale kicks off tomorrow and runs through May 15th. As I was working on some new products for the store, I was typing remember this but transposed the letters in this, resulting in the image you...
The change is upon me
Spring arrived last week and things are finally starting to come alive again in St. Paul. I am not complaining. I am a fan of chilly nights, soul-warming soups and big, puffy slippers. I actually live in dread of the...
