Kate has been scrapbooking for 12 years. She received an honorable mention for Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame—twice! When Kate had a relapse with MS and her right hand went numb, paper scrapping became too difficult. She then turned to digi-scrapping and quickly fell in love with it.
Soon after, Kate started designing for Designer Digitals and then became a prestigious Two Peas in a Bucket Garden Girl. She has also designed stamps, paper and stickers for Fontwerks and served on the inaugural creative board for Simple Scrapbooks Digital Scrapbooking magazine. Currently, Kate is a designer at Design House Digital and is loving it.
In addition to designing for DHD, Kate is a part–time 2nd grade teacher.

Featured artist Traci Reed, from Traci Reed Designs shares with us her techno insights! Enjoy!
What is your favorite piece of technology?
"Ay yi yi, I don’t think I can choose between my iMac and my Canon 7D. I couldn’t live without either! If I had to choose, I’d say my 7D because it’s brand new and makes my heart pitter pat when I look at the pictures it makes!"
Share a bit about your photography background.
"I was actually a professional photographer for a number of years before getting into scrapbooking, but I’ve found with my own layouts, that I’ve learned to accept imperfection. My photos are sometimes overexposed or blurry and I use them anyway!"
What digital software do you use?
"I use Adobe CS4 Suite and my most favorite tool is command + z (undo)! Don’t be afraid to really experiment, undo is your friend and in digital scrapbooking, nothing you do to your page is permanent!"
Thought it would be fun over the next couple of weeks to showcase Shutterfly's 9 incredible Scrapbook Advisory Team Members. These individuals are all uniquely incredible and each have a very significant imprint on the scrapbooking world. Enjoy.
A native of the United Kingdom, Anna Aspnes began digital scrapbooking in 2002. She currently designs for Designer Digitals.com and Smilebox. Anna is a military spouse and work–at–home mother to 7–year old Ella and 4 ½–year old Luke.

Traci Reed, from Traci Reed Designs shares a bit about her hybrid scrapbooking experience.
Do you hybrid scrapbook?
"I have done projects before, but it’s not the way I prefer to scrapbook, I’m such a perfectionist that scissors and glue don’t suit me very well. For this project below, I bought a small wooden cube at the craft store and then made 6 mini layouts of my resolutions for the year and glued them on the 6 sides of the cube. It sat as a paperweight on my desk to remind me of my goals!"
Traci Reed, from Traci Reed Designs shares another two great calendar toppers for the months of July and August. These toppers are free to you and are set up in perfect size to be printed in a Shutterfly Calendar. Please remember that the calendar toppers are for personal use only.
