NBK Designs has jaw-dropping designs each week. Her artCrush kits are just huge with elements, papers, paints, wordart, actions, brushes galore, and much, much more. The accompanying videos are also extremely informational-a true design bonus.

This year NBK Designs started a new super-clean series that is just perfect for the busy scrapper called Easy Peasy . The minimalistic designs cater to both the digital and hybrid scrapper and make scrapping an absolute breeze. The Easy Peasy designs can also be used with Photoshop on your iPad. How cool is that!

Check out these cool Easy Peasy designs.

I made this layout with Nicole's super-fun BYOC collection for this month.

​

I asked Nicole a few questions so we can get to know her a bit more.

How long have you been designing?
I started designing back in 2006 and had a Freebie Blog until 2009. In 2009 I started my own tiny store and also sold at different digital shops. Shortly before my 40th birthday I was really frustrated with the whole business and thought I would submit my last application to MScraps. Joyce, the owner, gave me a chance and that was the big turn in my career. I totally changed my marketing and built up of my digital collections.

What would you call your design style?
I think I am an artsy designer but, at the moment, I love to combine the artsy style with my super-clean Easy Peasy Series of products.

Where do you get your inspiration?
Uhh that’s a good question! There are so many different ways: words, images, photos, feelings, holidays, and new techniques. I think I never have the same starting point! Also, I don’t start with a special product. I may start with my styles and then get the papers done. I do not have a routine or anything. That's what I love about the whole process and it also frees my mind.

Tell us a little about yourself and your family.
I am graphic designer at an advertising agency. I had my first contact with Photoshop when I was 16; now I am 46. That means I have been with Photoshop since it was introduced 30 years ago.

I have one sister, Yvonne, who is six years younger than me. We also grew up with foster kids. Nalan is the youngest and is 12 years younger than me. Nalan came into our family at 14 months and is a full member of our family today. I am single and married to my design business. I live in a small town in the southern Germany. I love intuitive painting, both digitally and in real life.

We are not done yet!! Nicole has a special bonus for her newsletter subscribers and Artology Members. Check out this cute cookie alpha. Newsletter http://eepurl.com/heB6A
