Digital Discovery

It’s time to enjoy the creations of another discovery – this time it’s Jenny! Welcome to Discovery Drive, Jenny – enjoy the ride! We just loved Jenny’s enthusiasm and enjoyment over everything scrapbooking, shown in her work! Probably the most fabulous part of her pages is the amazing texture she includes. She makes you want to reach out and touch the computer screen… by starting in paper scrapping, I think we can all appreciate using paper-like supplies on a digital layout, and Jenny does it exquisitely! Oh and by the way? It certainly is nice to see some good, masculine pages out there!

Editor’s Notes: Just look at those stenciled and especially those fuzzy letters! Fool around with those textures on just some of the elements on your page – it really adds dimension and interest.

Journaling:
Connor got to show off his skateboarding skills to Gramma and Grampa
and Uncle Jason.
Editor’s notes:
Check out the action portrayed in
this one. By using bold embellishments,
slight angles and many different patterns
and textures, the page moves with this
little sk8’r. Her strong design
triangle is complemented by her offset
background papers and her traditional photo
shapes.

French Toast Sticks in a Pinch by Jenny McCally. Supplies:
Papers: Christina Bartholomew, Elements by Jeanine Baechtold, Font “Longhand” by Lettering Delights, Copperplate, CAC, Futura Casual, Software: Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10.
Journaling: Why: I’m not a culinary genius, but having an extremely picky child means you have to be on your toes at all meal times. I dread asking my 6 ½ year-old son, “what would you like for breakfast?” He doesn’t know. No matter what we suggest, his answer is always “no.” It’s a mind-numbing, nerve-grating experience. One morning, it just came to me to make French toast sticks with the regular old bread I had. Texas toast would have been ideal, but I never buy that, and I won’t need to, now that I know how to make some tasty finger foods.

Design notes: For a vellum overlay,
simply draw a white shape and give it no
stroke. While the shape is selected, choose
Transparency and adjust it evenly until the
desired level of opacity. I like to put a
soft drop shadow beneath it also. |

trampoline? Or drawing with chalk? Maybe a
squirtgun showdown….

About the designer
My name is Jenny McCally and I have been enjoying the art of scrapbooking for about 4 years. Most people are shocked to hear that I was a graphic designer before I decided to stay home to raise my children. They figured I would have been a pioneer in scrapbooking, but I actually resisted it for a long time. I really didn’t know where to begin! Luckily for me, my sister-in-law dropped off a bunch of supplies and I picked up a library book called “Scrapbooking for the First Time,” and that was it. I became hooked!
I love to scrap digitally, I think because I have always loved working on my computer, and I love not having the mess to clean up afterwards! However, I also do many pages traditionally. I currently have a few albums I’m working on and some are going to be all digital.
Currently, I stay home to raise two active boys, ages 2 and 7, and a Golden Retriever puppy named Comet. They all keep me very busy and feeling young. When I get the chance, I scrap, or at least do thumbnail sketches of layouts I want to do, based on looking at proof sheets of all my pics. This is a very efficient way for me to work.
I love seeing what other scrappers do in their layouts, especially digitally. It’s amazing how software once geared toward the professional design community is now being marketed to everyday people who never designed a thing until they became hooked on scrapbooking.
