There’s Something About…

  Janice Badger

The “IT” factor: something that generates a strong response, even if you don’t really know why you’re responding to it. There are books about it. There was even a reality TV show about it. You’ve either got it or you don’t. The iPHone has it, rotary phones don’t. It doesn’t necessarily stick around forever, either. Charo had it, but now she doesn’t. The tabloids spend countless dollars letting us know who has it, who’s lost it, and how you can pretend to have it. Is it scrappable? Sometimes.

 

Journaling:  I cannot help it. I think in cartoons.  You know, the kind of cartoons in which things go awfully wrong and the characters get severely hurt.  Every now and then when somebody tells me a story, my cartoon brain kicks in and I picture that situation going badly amiss.  I cannot help grinning a little or even laughing out loud when I see those images in my mind.  The person telling me the story may get a little upset because often it is not intended to be funny at all.  But I cannot help it.  I think in cartoons.

A Little Looney by Janneke Smit. Supplies: Software: CorelDRAW 12; Adobe Photoshop CS2, Fonts: ‘Blink Janneke style’ by Kimberly Garofolo which is my own handwriting turned into a font, Comics and Comic Strip downloaded from the internet.

 

Design note: The main photo element is made from two photos. For the top part I made a photo of myself from behind, and used photo editing software to remove the background and turn it into a shape. I designed an image of a wall and used my shape to cut out the center part of the wall. Then I layered this on top of the other photo. I used cartoon callouts and star shapes that come standard with my software program to design the background. I used the “thinking” callout for my journaling block to emphasize how I think. For the title I extruded the word Looney to give it the cartoon feeling as well. The 39 looks like a page number in a comic book; it is my age.

 

 

 

Journaling: The GQ factor The hottie quotient He's the total package And hopefully he'll never be taken away from me.

 

Design note: Try playing around with the angles... .don't be afraid to turn your camera to different positions to get some interesting shots and perspectives.

He's got IT! by Amanda Laboy.  Supplies: Cardstock: Die Cuts with a View, Patterned paper: Rusty Pickle, Scenic Route and K&Company, Tag: Daisy D's, Pens: Sharpie and Uniball Signo, Letter stickers: Basic Grey, Chipboard letters: All My Memories, Ink: Ranger.

 

 

Charmed, I'm Sure by Janice Badger.   Supplies: Patterned paper: Basic Grey, My Mind's Eye, Chipboard letters: Lil Davis, Polar Bear Press, Ink: Clearsnap, Tsukineko, Paint: Lumiere, Pigment powder: Pearl Ex, Stamps: Art Warehouse, Rub-ons: My Mind's Eye, Fonts: Book Antiqua, EscapeTypewriterC (downloaded from the internet).

 

Journaling: You have been a charmer from the start. You flirt with all the moms at a playgroup. You can make me laugh even when you're in trouble. Your brilliant smile and big blue eyes will get you - UNDESERVEDLY - out of even more trouble as you grow up. Smile on, my littlest love!

 

Quotes: He had that nameless charm, with a strong magnetism, which can only be called "It.: - Elinor Glyn (bottom of right-hand page). I'm convinced that it's energy and humor. The two of them combined equal charm. - Judith Krantz (right side of right-hand page)

 

Design notes: The chipboard letters were painted, then overstamped to give them depth.
