As indicated by her websiteearly nameproduct "Shabbyline Elements",“Shabby Dianne'sElements”, Dianne’s specialty is the shabby, messy, artsy style, with a little whimsy thrown in for good measure. She is entranced by playful color combinations and worn textures and enjoys the process of creative exploration as it relates to digital scrapbook design.


"Scrapbooking“Scrapbooking has become more than the preserving of memories. It is a sensual, delicious art form that allows us to explore and express our emotions and memories with many rich designs and textures. Digital Scrapbooking is a new extension of this expression, one that speaks to my heart. I have had no greater reward than being satisfied with a scrumptuous new layout or exquisite digital kit design. I love how interactive and instant it is, with all of the opportunities to post and share in online galleries and share with people from all over the world."world.”


Dianne came to digital scrapbooking in 2004. After several years as a custom personal website designer she longed to return to her crafting roots, but small children and a busy life made that difficult. The marriage of scrapbooking with the digital arts was the perfect creative outlet. After serving on the Design Team at Scrapbook Bytes, she began to create and sell her own designs in November of 2004. In 2005 she opened her own shop and also joined with the fabulous designers at Scrap Artist.
