New Designer: Elif Sahin
I am really excited to announce today that we have a new designer joining our team: Elif Sahin! She's been a great part of our creative team, making wonderful layouts, and now she's ready to share her awesome designs with you! Her eclectic, yet cohesive designs have always caught my eye. There's always something unique going on, and the combinations she comes up with are interesting and fun. I can't wait to see what she has to share with us!
I'll let Elif say a bit about herself:
Hi, I'm Elif from Turkey where scrapbooking is not so much known. I live in the capital where I also continue my study in the International Relations department. That is not quite close to my scrapbook hobby don't you think? I live with my family here and about a year ago a little cutie arrived in our family. That cutie, my sister's son, embellishes my layouts most of the time. I have always been interested in design, it was a part of my dream but I never thought that I could be a designer in the future. One day while surfing on the internet, I came across DigitalScrapbook.com. At that time I didn't know what scrapbooking was but I was in love with the tags, papers, and ohh with those flowers!.. I downloaded some of them and used them on the header of my blog at the time (which I can't even remember which blog was that, since I had many of them).
After a while, I noticed that DigitalScrapbook.com has started a forum on the website and I decided to join the community. It was exactly a year ago, in April of 2013. Since then I am eager to work on layouts and the design of scrapbook elements & papers for myself, and every day I was more passionate to work harder whenever I see and learn new things about scrapbooking. At this point I cannot forget my boyfriend's support and his encouragement to continue on designing whenever I am lose my enthusiasm. Also the ideas flowing in this community always give me new design ideas and tips, so how could I be away from designing! But I couldn't imagine that one day Marisa would call me to design for Pixel Scrapbook! It is so exciting for me to be in this lovely, friendly community where the hard work of hours and days are always appreciated.

About Me
Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!
I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!
I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!
If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.

Welcome Elif,i have seen your name and always wondered how it pronounced.I was born in the former Yugoslavia,know called Bosnia,but was raised in America from the age of 2.Nobody pronounces my name correctly, unless i correct them several times,however,that's to tiring,so i say, call me what you'd like,just don't call me late for supper.LOL!!
Looking forward to seeing some of your creative work.
Just beautiful!! I LOVE your design style, Elif! I often go to them for inspiration on your blog!! Can't wait to see more, and I am soooooo thrilled that you are designing with us now at DigitalScrapbook.com:)!!!
Oh, and I wanted to add that I am envious of your position; I'd love to design for DigitalScrapbook.com or at least dust off some kits I had in my shop in the past.
Welcome Elif and good luck to you. Your Sweet Dreams kit is very Sweet!
