Shutterfly Digi Scrap Blog

Welcome : Rhonna Farrer

We are excited to welcome Rhonna Farrer to the Shutterfly Celebrations Blog. We can't wait to share more about Rhonna and her design work. So, without further ado, lets find out a bit about her.

I'm Rhonna Farrer,  a mother of 3 & wife to my best friend. I earned a BFA in Art Education & have been designing in the greeting card/gift wrap/paper product industry for 12 years.

I design under Rhonna DESIGNS for all of my freelance design work, but as far as scrapbooking goes: I've teamed up with Heidi Swapp & Janet Hopkins to bring you House of 3.  We  have digital design kits, House Adornmnents, Blog Couture & Design House kits. We aim to offer inspiration in home decor, scrapbooking & hybrid arts.

Rhonna has an exciting handful of freebies that she is going to be sharing with us over the next week or so. The downloads are themed around Blessings and being Thankful. (Perfect for all of those Thanksgiving photos we need to document!) Below you can download a greeting card  created by Rhonna. You just add your own photo and print it. The card is, of course, perfectly sized for printing at Shutterfly if you choose!  Have fun downloading this fun freebie and please remember that all freebies are for personal use only.

Celebrate Halloween: With Kim Gehring!

Kim Gehring from PixelGypsyDesigns tells us about her scrapbooking history and shares a wonderful Halloween Freebie!

How long have you been scrapbooking?

"I started digi scrapping about two and half years ago. I’m a graphic designer (and a total computer geek ), so it was the natural way for me to go over paper scrapping. Last January I started playing around with designing. It was so much fun that I soon found myself spending waaay more time designing than scrapping. I joined the Pixel Gypsy Designs team in July, and now I try to mix my design time with scrapping time."

Do you hybrid scrapbook and if so tell us about your experience with it.

"I like to create hybrid gifts like money envelopes, altered blocks for holiday decorations, cd case calendars, and goodie bags with special treat toppers. Unfortunately, time always gets the best of me and I run out of time to photograph these projects."

Check it out, Kim created an adorable Halloween card freebie for you all to download. It is adorable and this is just one of a few to come! Enjoy and remember that all freebies are for personal use only.

Veronica Spriggs : Talks About Technology!

Veronica Spriggs Owner and Designer at Digiscrap Boutique continues to share with us some great info about her love for technology and the internet.

What is your favorite piece of technology (ie. Your camera, your computer, your scanner?) and why?

"Do I have to choose just one? I sure hope not. I LOVE my pc of course without it I’d get no work done. But just as much I love my Wacom Tablet. Each day it becomes more and more an integral part of my designing. And of course my Nikon. I have the D40x and I love it! I use it a lot in my business for creating stock photos and capturing everyday images for use in my kits."

Where do you hang out on-line?

" I’m a big fan of Hulu.com My favorite thing to watch there is Monk. Unfortunately I can’t work and watch at the same time. I also hang out at Sirius.com checking out the radio shows. Mostly Hip Hop as it’s my life’s blood."

Veronica shares a great quickpage below. The quickpage is in perfect square Shutterfly size so that you can add your own photos and journaling and then have it printed as a square print at Shutterfly. Please remember that all freebies are for personal use only.
