Welcome to a very special edition of Discovery
Drive! Who knew, months ago, that we had truly
discovered a diamond in the rough! You just have
to check out more about this spectacular
scrapper – known as Janis G. Medina-Maghinay,
Joplin_Woodstock or Elmyra Duff around the
Streets, and most currently known as 2nd
place winner in ScrapStreet’s Annual STAR
contest! ScrapStreet Pit Crew! Magazine staff!
What a month Janis has had, and how
well-deserved. Would you ever guess she’s only
been scrapbooking for about a year now?! Imagine
that!
What do we love about Janis? Color! You can tell
Janis loves it. Lives it. Might even BE
it. Fun with color. Fun with photograph. Fun
with all those scrapbooking goodies. All that
fun wrapped up together in neat little, vibrant,
colorful, sometimes even bow-tied scrap-page
packages!
This girl can put color on a page like no one
ever seen before. No need for shades, you really
want to see this bright! All that and somehow,
some way, Janis brings your eye right to that
amazing photo on her page. And that’s what it’s
all about anyway, right? That’s truly some
amazing (and yes, bright and colorful) talent!
Janis, congratulations, from the bottom of our
hearts, on all your discovery and success, now
and in the future. We happen to think that
you’re pretty amazing – a quote from
ScrapStreet’s own Dora to close, perhaps? “Your
bold designs and amazing use of color made your
work truly art. Congrats!”

Design notes: I was finally able to conquer my fear of
doing multiple photo layouts. Love how this
one turned out - - doodling action
showcased!!!

in there. This one won at ScrappinKids

Design notes: The blurry photo was not really intended - -
it seemed okay on my camera LCD when I had
it developed. Rather than throw it away, I
used it on my layout and just went with an
artsy-romantic take.

 I'm
Janis Medina-Maghinay, a scrapbooker from
the Philippines. I am married to a very
supportive husband, JE, and a mother to Nat
(3yo) and Phil (2yo). I started
scrapbooking April 2008 and have never been
able to stop. I do mostly 12x12 layouts,
but also dabble in cardmaking and altered
projects.
My scrapbooking style is a head-on explosion
of bold colors, whether it be for kiddie,
classic, or romantic layouts. I have a
penchant for elaborate layouts. I love
different textures and embellishments.
Clustering, layering and distressing are the
usual techniques that I use, although I am
not afraid to experiment and try other
techniques . I feel that I have a lot to
learn in this craft.
To view more of my work, you can visit my
blog, and you can also see my work at
Journaling Junkie, a blog for scrappers
needing a journaling challenge, where I’m on
the Design Team.
