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.

I love these large photos, with embellishments added. Going to have to lift this one!
עיצוב יפה
Gorgeous!
très belle
Awesome photo/layout!
By the way, what did you do to the clouds in the background?
Awesome! Normally you would zoom in on the people more, but now you've got the best of both people and stunning scenery!
Very cool.
This is just wow...
Great layout! Love how you framed the people!
love the simple style
Great photograph! And definitely a different style.
I love the photo and the theme of the page!
Marisa this is wonderful... love the photo, cnr splatter & quote!
so clean and simple.
Love it - almost like a movie poster
This is great... i love how you framed the people to draw attention to them, and the quote is perfect. Really nice blending in the sky too. Thanx for the inspiration!
what an awesome technique
Love that photo, Kudos to your FIL. This is great, love everything about this lo, especially how you put the frame around the camels and people.
Great layout... brilliant photo and I love the word art!
WOW, what a unique photo and technique!! Love the filtering you used Marisa :)
I have often wished to be brave enough use a full bleed photo....and to ride a camel...which shall you inspire me to do first? Probably the photo, I don't have a camel. (Great layout!)
I have to give props to my FIL for this photo, I'm on one of the camels. The background image I did some filtering to in Photoshop to give it an arty feel, and left the people without filtering.
This is just.....well.. awesome! I love the focus around the camels.
So cool!
I really like how you softened the background on this, and the "Don't Look Back" message....Looks like a National Geographic page!
Beautiful! Is that picture out of camera, or did you photoshop this? I really love the crisp people against the faded background. And the wordart too, a very wise philosophy.
Wow, very cool. I love the photo - how you captured how small the people are to their environment. (that totally makes sense in my head).
