Welcome back to Digital Detour! For October we
are venturing back across country from New York
to sunny Bakersfield, California. Here we find
Kellie Salmon, another busy digital designer.
Kellie began scrapping about two years ago.
Although, she started out backwards from most.
She started designing before scrapping. She had
been doing digital-type art for years and “kinda
fell into scrapping. I started as a hobby,
something to occupy my time” and became
obsessed. So much so, she takes photos that
will work with specifics kits. Occasionally she
will do a hybrid project, but has never done
paper scrapping, "paper was too expensive and
messy for me. Plus, you can only use it once
and it’s gone." She does find the time to
create about four layouts a month, though they
don’t all make it to her gallery.

Design note:
This
is my favorite layout. It’s
of my eldest son’s graduation. We had quite
the challenge and worried he wouldn’t make
it for a while. But, he did it and I am so
proud of him.

Kelli finds her inspiration from photos,
magazine ads, the outdoors, articles of
clothing and sometimes even television
commercials. Her favorite kit, “A Pirate’s
Life” was two months in the making but, “I
had so much fun creating it.” Her most
recent “full” kit is “Sweet Sizzlin
Summer.“ It was inspired by a color scheme
from an ad and is also one of her favorite
kits right now. At one time, she created
with PSP but found it didn’t handle the file
sizes well enough for her, so she make the
switch to CS3 and loves it. In addition to
designing and scrapping, she’s a very busy
college student, a volunteer at a local
hospice and works full-time. Unfortunately,
she isn’t left with as much time to design
as she would like but does find time to
admire the works of Misty Cato, Carrie
Stephens and just about anyone at Sweet
Shoppe Designs, as well as long-time friends
Veronica Spriggs and SweetMade Designs at
Digi Scrap Boutique.

Kellie has been married to her husband,
Doug, for 11 years. They have two sons:
Corey just turned 18 and little Wyatt is 6.
She says that even though they are far apart
in age, they both behave the same age most
of the time. The family lives in
Bakersfield, California. She says that she
has made so many wonderful friends in the
digi-scrapping community. “It’s one of the
best places to meet new people from all over
the world. It also has some of the
friendliest as well.”
