Cathy Zielske Joins Designer Digitals

Former Simple Scrapbooks designer Cathy Zielske announced this week that she is signing on with digital scrapbooking store Designer Digitals to design and sell digital scrapbook products.

Zielske was a columnist and featured designer in Simple Scrapbooks magazine. She authored two popular books for Simple, as well: Clean And Simple Scrapbooking: Ideas for Design, Photography, Journaling & Typography and Clean and Simple Scrapbooking – The Sequel. In addition to her editorial work on Simple Scrapbooks, Zielske served as the magazine’s art director. She left the employment of CK Media at the end of February 2009 when Simple Scrapbooks‘ production concluded.

Some of Zielske’s first products for Designer Digitals, which will be released October 10th, will be two sets of 8.5″ x 11″ layered templates for scrapbooking your child from ages 1-20. Zielske promises the templates are simple to convert to 12″ x 12″ page size, and says they include instructions for completing the size switch. The templates are PSD files designed for use with Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.
