Welcome : Kirsty Wiseman

Welcome Kirsty Wiseman! We are excited to introduce you to the wonderful Kirsty!

Tell us about yourself.

"My name is kirsty and I am married to Mark. We have a lovely little girl called Ellie and together, with our dog Eddy - we are invincible.

I have been scrapbooking 5 years now and coupled with that I make cards for the UK magazine industry. When I'm fed up of paper scrapping, I love to make digital layouts while watching TV with the family."

Well, Christmas is right around the corner and Kirsty has created several goodies for us to scrap our holiday photos. We are sharing her first freebie with you today and have several more to come! The "Joy" card below can easily be printed at Shutterfly! Enjoy and please remember that all freebies are for personal use only.

We hope you find inspiration in the celebrations that are taking place around you!

What is your favorite Holiday? Do you have any fun scrapbook traditions or project traditions that you do during the holiday season?

"Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love the excitement that overflows from my kids and the quality time I get to spend with my whole family. I don’t have any scrapbook or project traditions, but I do love to scrap holiday photos. :-) "

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."

Kim has created one last freebie quickpage template for us to download below but she has shared her blog address with us at http://kg-designs.blogspot.com where she says she has all sorts of freebie downloads. Check it out!

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.
