Wahooo! Jen Wilson!


Jen Wilson has been my friend for about 4 years. It didn't take me very long to realize some very key things about her. She is incredibly creative, the ideas that come out of her are just like ZAMMO every single time. She is unfaltering talented. I am always in awe of how beautiful Jen's designs are. I wish I could pull off just 10% of her flair and unique style. She is so hard working -- I swear she doesn't sleep. She is completely humble. Seriously, when she reads this she's going to deny all of it and then tell me I was way too kind. But I know and anyone who knows her knows, that she is all of these things. We love her for it, and we love her soul-filled products for it too!

Jen Wilson has been designing digital scrapbooking products forever. I don't even know how long, but she told me that it was back in the day when you had to send out CD's because people didn't really comprehend the idea of downloading digital files. She has worked in a few shops here and there, but for the past several years, she has been running and designing thousands of products at Jenwilsondesigns.com.

In addition to all those things, she's managed to create some killer paper products for My Mind's Eye. Some of her big lines include Signature Suite, Laundry Line, 29th Street Market & Breaking free. But there are lots more too - I'm tired just thinking about how much paper she's designed in the last 4 years for MME. But trust me, she's got lots more up her sleeves and she's bringing it to DHD!

I'm excited that she'll be able to take a break from all the technical parts of running a site and just be free to design. I'm sure this will translate into the most imaginative and beautiful creations to date! We're incredibly lucky to have her join the site, and now you definitely have to come back in January to see what she, and all the other designer's are going to unveil!

Wahoo! Jen Wilson!

  7. Great news! The first digital kits I purchased online were a collab between Jenn and Michelle Underwood - on a CD because of dial-up! Can't wait for the opening!

  8. Yay! This is the best digital news I've heard in a long time! Jen was my very first favorite designer, and has always been in the top five as far as I'm concerned. I have so much of her older stuff. I'm excited about this, can't wait to see what she, and all the others, have or us!!

  11. So, what happened after this announcement? I see that her website has been down for sometime, and her designs don't seem to be anywhere else. Has she stopped designing altogether?
