Announcing New Designer: Rachel Etrog!

I'm really excited to announce that we have a new designer joining the DigitalScrapbook.com team today! You may know Rachel Etrog's designs from the Digital Press, and I'm thrilled that she's willing to share some great designs with us here at DigitalScrapbook.com as well. I know I am personally a big fan of her travelers notebook designs, as well as her bold and fun digital style.

Here's a little bio from Rachel:

Hi, I'm Rachel from Israel. I currently live near Tel Aviv, a daughter of a holocaust surviver. As a single child I always remember myself drawing and crafting, that was a kind of way to keep myself busy. I had an imaginative mind and I loved to spend time in my special world that I created.

In high school my major studies were graphic design and art history. After my military service (military service is mandatory for all Israelis) I studied for a bachelor's degree in architecture and interior design and I worked a few years at companies as an architect and designer.

9 years ago my cousin had a bat mitzvah and I wanted to make her a special gift. So I made her a special handmade scrapbook album. It was so great to work on because I had missed crafting and creating with my own hands. After that I stopped working in architecture and returned back to graphic design. Since that time I have created lots of special albums and I discovered the digital scrapbook world and my passion just got bigger when I started designing kits. The rest is history.

I found DigitalScrapbook.com 3 years ago and I participated in the blog trains for almost a year and half. I've found this community warm and friendly and full of people with the same passion to scrapbook. It's great to be part of it.

When I'm not designing I love to keep myself busy with spirituality, traveling, seeing music concerts and meeting up with good friends.

Please help me welcome Rachel to the team by leaving a comment below!
