Well I have officially come full circle! I made my first dollars designs scrapbooking products as a “Creative Alliance Partner” with EK Success way back in 2001… I worked with them for 2 years, then was a contributing editor for Simple Scrapbooks Magazine for 2 years… all of that under my married name: Tara Cowper.
In 2004 I got divorced and took a bit of a break from scrapbook design. I needed change in all areas of my life – new frontiers and new beginnings all around I suppose!
This month marks my return to designing for scrapbooking and I couldn’t be happier! The wonderful people at Lasting Impressions have created a great digital scrapbooking program – Memory Mixer. It’s so easy even my sister could figure it out! (I mean that very kindly – she is very smart but just has no real interest in scrapbooking or technology so here attention span is different that some people’s would be!)
I’m working away to create embellishment and background packs for a variety of themes. When I sat down to start a new Christmas Pack I thought, “well let’s just see if any are for sale yet” and headed to the website.
Yippee! Skippee! The answer is YES! Two Halloween collections are ready to go.
Midnight Monsters have an embellishment pack and a paper pack.
Sweet Spook Street has a “Quick Mix” which means the page layouts are done for you, you just drop in photos, add some titles and text and get back to your busy life! There is also an Embellishment Pack for those wanting more versatility.
There’s a lot more to come and I’ll keep you up to date but don’t forget to check them out as you prepare your little spooks for some trick-or-treating fun!
