National Digi Scrapbooking Day at A Cherry on Top

Give a huge round of applause for all of ACOT's fabulous designers!!!

In honour of National Digi Scrapbooking Day, which is tomorrow, November 7, the Creative Team here at A Cherry On Top wanted to salute our team of fantastic digital designers.

We each selected a (or several!) designers, and created a layout featuring products from that particular designer, as well as shared what we most enjoyed about each designer's work. We hope that this week, you'll be inspired to explore the Digital Shoppe, and maybe find some new products and designers that you'll enjoy, too! We apologize in advance if your favourite designer isn't featured today - we just have so many awesome designers and there are only so many of us to go around!

Amy Teets Designs

"For the Digi Designer Appreciation reveal, I chose to work with Amy Teets. Amy has been with ACOT since the dawn of the Digital Shoppe I believe. Her new products are always fresh and practical for everyday scrapping and I especially like how many of her products are easy to mix and match."

Bella Gypsy, aka Tabatha Reed and Lena Brandenburg

"So for this week's reveal we all picked different designers to showcase and so I decided to pick Bella Gypsy because I can always find a kit in their shoppe to fit my needs!!! Whether it is girly or whimsical or just plain fun, they have it! And they have some WONDERFUL, very versatile templates as well! So go check out what they have and you may just be adding to your wishlist!"

Cassel

"I chose to use products by Cassel, along with a few products from other designers. Cassel's products are primarily PSP scripts with a couple cool Font styles thrown in as well. The really cool part is that Fonts can be used by any program! -perfect for me using PSE. They are super easy to use because you install and load them just as you would a regular font, but they create more than just simple text on your page."

CG Essentials, aka Kim Hill

Princess Ella, by JennK

Keling also did a LO with products by CG Essentials...

"I've loved Kim Hill's (CG Essentials) digital designs ever since I started digi scrapping when the little boy in this photo, my son, Jonathan, was just a newborn! Kim's designs have always been of the top-most quality, and have risen to even greater heights through the years. She's been a part of the designer crew here at ACOT since the beginning, and is always pushing the boundaries with her skills."

Family Love, by JennK

Designs by Becki Kress

"This week's reveal is all about Designer Appreciation! This layout is to show off the work of Becki Kress. I really enjoy using Becki's designs because I like to make my digital pages look as much like real paper as possible. Becki's designs look amazingly real so they make realistic layout a breeze. Her designs are fun themes that work so well with all of my pages for my kids. Thanks Becki!"

Jack "O" Lantern, by Smiley-Scrap8

Hot Flash Designs, aka Marci Parmeley

"I choose HotFlashDesigns for her cool new products though I may be just a little biased because she is a retired ACOT Digi CT member as well! Marci has spent a number of years here at ACOT with us and recently joined the wonderful digital designers we have in our shoppe. Her designs have great detail and color palettes and she really goes all out when putting together her embellishments for every kit. :)"

Kelly Shults

"This week's reveal we all picked different designers to scrap with. Kelly Shults is not only a talented designer, but she is such a sweet person as well. Kelly has been at ACOT for a long time and I have always enjoyed scrapping with her designs, they are beautiful and classic."

Lil Girl, by Janello

Kollage by Kay, aka Kay Eflin

"This week's reveal is about appreciating our designers! I love Kay Eflin's work (Kollage by Kay) because of all the unique, realistic elements and the nostalgia she puts into each kit. I am drawn to the collage style of scrapping and even though I struggle with it, Kay's kits make it so much easier! I think they showcase all types of photos beautifully!"

Weekend Getaway, by Art_Teacher

Lindsay Jane Designs

"So I had the pleasure of working with Lindsay Jane's designs for this weeks reveal! What FaB-U-LO-uS things she has in her shoppe! I was able to use her Weather Watch Kit to complete this awesome Oct in review LO. I was looking for something fall, but not really Halloween and this was perfect! Plus I added in the wonderful P265 Stamp Cluster frames so I could get ALOT of pictures on 1 page! So go check out her shoppe and I am SURE you will find something you just have to have!"

Something Blue Studios, aka Danielle Catalano-Titus

"This week's reveal we all picked a different designer to scrap with. First on my mind is the ever talented Danielle-Catalano-Titus or otherwise known as "Something Blue Studios." I had to include her amazing overlays. One thing I always appreciate from Danielle, is top notch quality in her designs. They are beautiful and very intricatly detailed. If you haven't scrapped with Something Blue Studios. I HIGHLY recommend it. You won't be disappointed."

"Rowena Field, aka Willro&Co Designs, has such a great mix of products, offering something for everyone. However, one of my favourite things about her designs is her mix of Faithbooking products!
