The Digital Scrapbook Company

Kristen Skold, Moderator

Kristen is the delighted aunt of five nieces and nephews who, along with everyone's pets, provide plenty of opportunities for photos and layouts.
The nearby California coast and local gardens provide more. She divides her working hours between web programming and working for a publicity director.

She first learned Photoshop in multimedia classes but concentrated more on the fascinating elements of databases, perl/cgi scripts, and Flash. She picked up PSP when she found the wealth of tutorials and communities dedicated to making web graphics, but she couldn't see the advantage to making stuff just to show on the web. She started paper-scrapping three years ago with her sister and a friend, and promptly started collecting magazines and books. And she started noticing the occasional digital layout, and went searching online... and ended up here.

When not submersed in modern computers, she spends her time in the past - taking part in the Renaissance Faire and Dickens Christmas Fair. And since getting a Canon PowerShot A70 for Christmas, she's following in her grandfather's footsteps and becoming an avid amateur photographer. If you dig down in her purse past the camera case, you'll always find chocolate and a book - usually a romance. But she admits that scrapping has cut into her reading time to an astonishing degree, although she does find ways to get books into her photos and layouts - even if they're just being used as a platform for flower photos!
