Welcome New Designer: Melouise!

I'm super excited to announce that we have a new designer joining us here at DigitalScrapbook.com. You've probably seen her around as one of our super-duper moderators, Melouise Vrijhof! I'll let her tell you a little about herself:

Hi, my name is Melo. Actually it is Melouise, but nobody uses my full name. I live in a small historic town in the Netherlands. In just a few days I will be celebrating my twenty year anniversary with my husband. Together we (try to) raise our two young children, a girl and a boy. Our cross-eyed cat completes our family. I work (and have worked for the past twenty years) in the graphic design industries, as an allround graphic designer at first and a web designer for the past four years. I came across scrapbooking on ‘just another day at the office’ googling ‘scrap’ pictures (the metal kind) for a design we were working on. My screen filled with colorful designs that instantly made me happy. I opened one of them, emailed the word ‘scrapbooking’ to my home address and spent a few evenings at home reading up on this wonderful thing I had never heard of before. I was hooked instantly! That was three years ago…

I started scrapping, with freebies at first - there were so many beautiful freebies around. But making freebie-only layouts made me feel like a fraud when visiting forums and galleries, since the majority are shop-related and exclusive to paying customers. I never dared to 'join in the fun' however much I wanted to. Then DigitalScrapbook.com launched their new site a year ago. They offered a scrapbooking community for everyone. I signed up quite reservedly, but soon found myself in the forum so frequently that I decided to take on a moderator-job. I made some great friends here at the DigitalScrapbook.com community, who have given me the courage to start designing. I joined the February 2013 Retrokitchen Blogtrain and never skipped a blogtrain since. Making my own designs was never planned. And offering my designs as a DigitalScrapbook.com Designer… oh wow! I am still pinching myself daily, just to make sure this is really happening! I am simply over the moon!
