Kim Hill is the artist behind CG Essentials.  She is a
    professional photographer and self-taught digital artist who started
    designing digtally in 2002 when her oldest was a newborn.  She set
    up her first shop in 2004 and has been designing products for her
    photography business as well as for scrapbooking her own family
    photos. 
Most digiscrap kits are 100% digitally created, but some of the more
    recent kits include items which Kim has photographed and then
    extracted in order to offer more "realistic" items for those who
    enjoy them.
