Designer Spotlight- September 2025

Part One: ScrapChat Designs

Is it just me or is this year just flying by? September already… even though it’s 98° outside right now. This month we have two Designers in the Spotlight again. Today I’m chatting with Jill, the Designer otherwise known as ScrapChat. Jill and I have done this a couple of times already, and we’re not going to try fooling anyone. No, we didn’t have coffee. And this time it wasn’t Jack Daniels either! (I’m boycotting.) Instead we had some award-winning locally distilled BRBN. It was pretty darned good, too. And we didn’t really belabour the business side of things too much; grab a cold drink and we’ll commence.

O: Let’s get the bread-and-butter stuff out of the way first. Can you share with us how you came up with your brand logo?

J: The turtle in my logo was drawn by my youngest daughter as a memorial to my oldest daughter, who passed in 2019.

O: What a beautiful way to remember her. She’d be proud to know she was so inspirational! What’s your favourite part of seeing our GingerScrappers use your designs?

J: The memories they’re documenting. I envy anyone who takes the time to journal about their experiences — I rarely journal on my own pages, even knowing how important it is. I make samples and tell myself I’ll go back and add the journaling… but time passes, and it doesn’t happen.

O: I know what you mean. I don’t love the journaling part either. It always feels like “nobody’s going to care about this tomorrow, never mind in 20 years”, so I usually don’t do much. Do you have a favourite theme or season to design for?

J: Travel, for sure. In my life, I’ve worked for two airlines, and I love creating collections to help people document that first or fifteenth vacation. Each one is different and deserves to be remembered.

O: Now there’s a topic I’ll journal about! It’s often about the history of a place, or some random factoid that fits the rest of the layout. When I was scrapping my sister’s trip to the Maritimes I put a lot of that kind of thing on the page. She LOVED her memory book, so it was worth all the research and the hours and hours of work. I never told her about the dinners I… um… singed… because I was working on one of her layouts. How do you juggle the various parts of your life so that you can fit it all in?

J: It’s a mix of designing, life, and everything in between. I’d love to say it’s organized chaos, but it’s probably just chaos…with a to-do list.

O: Oh, I’m a list-maker too! Comes from being a nurse – without my task list, my patients might have been a little neglected. (Not really, I’m too Type A for that, but…) Anyway……. Speaking of burnt offerings, what’s your comfort food?

J: Meatloaf and mashed potatoes – incredibly ironic since I hated meatloaf as a child.

O: Meatloaf has always been Daughter #2’s comfort food too. I make it very differently from how my mother made it, which might be why. Daughter #1 was always about the shepherd’s pie, with a nice layer of melted cheese on top. Once she converted to Judaism, she had to make some adjustments to that recipe. 😉

J: If I could learn any skill instantly, it would be gourmet cooking. I would love to be able to make a fancy meal once in a while.

O: Having worked for the airlines, you must have had some really great restaurant experiences. The nurses I travelled with had a rule: we couldn’t go to a chain or eat anything we could get at home. So we had some amazing meals at some very fine restaurants. If you could teleport anywhere in the world right now, where would you go?

J: Disney World, without a doubt – I’d want to take a detour to pick up my grandkids on the way.

O: When I was in Orlando quite a few years ago, my travel companions went there, but I gave it a pass. I can’t remember why now. My grandkids were gifted a Disney cruise from their *other* grandparents this spring. They had a blast. I’m pretty sure my granddaughter entertained the other passengers with her antics. She has no filter. (Reminds me, I should scrap the photo of her with chopsticks in her nose…) What’s the silliest thing you’ve ever done in public?

J: Danced at Disney World with my children as if I were six.

O: I don’t think that’s silly! It’s sweet. I’ve always been too tightly wound for that kind of thing. When I was at Universal in Orlando, I looked after the purses while my friends went on the rides. The only one I agreed to was Wizarding World. It was more my speed.

J: I adore Harry Potter, of course! It’s my favorite book series ever.

O: I thought the ride was very well-done. Everything looked so realistic. even Hedwig, Harry’s pet owl. It made me want to start birding again. If you could have any pet, mythical or real, what would you choose?

J: With a huge world to choose from, imaginary or real, I would still pick a Labrador. My current dog is a 12-year-old yellow lab Sunny — she’s my shadow and constant companion.

O: Dogs are just the best, aren’t they? Ours are 10 and 7. The younger one just came over and nudged me. Must be suppertime. Thanks for the visit, Jill! I’m just going to wind up with Spotlight info for everybody now.

Of course, ScrapChat Designs has provided a Daily Download kit for all of us; she collaborated with Juli (Miss Fish) on a huge kit called Everyday Rhythm. The sneak peeks are very intriguing. And also of course, Jill is hosting one part of the Designer Spotlight Challenge this month in addition to her usual monthly Use It All Challenge. If you haven’t checked it out, this is what you’re missing!

Last, but definitely not least, Jill has a coupon code for purchases from her GS store over $10: SPOT-SCD-2025 so check out her designs ASAP because it expires at midnight September 30th.

I’ll be back tomorrow with Part Two!

Are you ready for a party? Make sure to watch for next week’s Fresh Baked newsletter for Birthday Party fun!

August 29: Fresh Baked @ Gingerscraps

Happy Friday Scrappers. I cannot believe we are at the end of August already. That means less than four months until Christmas. That is just crazy to think about.

  • We have a several Fresh Baked items this week along with some Featured Products from our designers.
  • Make sure to go all the way through the newsletter for a little sneak at upcoming fun.
  • Remember if you spend $10, you get this great collab free.

Let’s see what our designers have this week.

And as promised, a little sneak at some upcoming fun for the store and forum. You know when this little guy shows up, you are in for a fun time.

Tutorial Tuesday (Photoshop Elements)

Quick Trick: Caps Lock ISN’T ON, PSE!!

Have you ever been working away on a layout, right at the point where you’re ready to journal, and EVERYTHING is in upper case, no matter what you do? You check the caps lock, it’s not on. You save your layout, close out of PSE completely, go get a cold drink, come back and get started again, only to find it’s STILL messed up. So you reset all your Type Preferences, and that fails too. You’ve tried different fonts, you’ve cursed under your breath, gotten another cold drink, taken a walk around the block and are so frustrated you could scream. You’ve done a Google search, but the answer you need is either paywalled or requires a subscription. That was me the other day. You might want to bookmark this post so you can find it again…

There’s no discernable reason why this happens randomly when everything had been completely normal before. But it can give you an ulcer. The fix is stunningly easy.

  1. Activate your Text Tool.
  2. Choose your font.
  3. Set your cursor where you’re planning to put text.
  4. Before you put anything in your text box, click CTRL/CMD>SHIFT>Y.
  5. Voilà!! It’s fixed!

I know!! It’s ridiculous, but it works!

See you next week when I’m back with the Designer Spotlight. We’ve all met this Designer before, so we’re going to have some fun.

Tutorial Tuesday (Individual Style)

Challenge Spotlight: That’s Entertainment

It’s that time again when the GingerScraps Blog celebrates YOU… the reason we’re here… by shining the spotlight on your creativity. And boy howdy, are you all being creative! With Scrap-a-Thon going this month, the Gallery is literally hopping with layouts. Choosing a Challenge to feature was a challenge in itself. Enter Boomers Girl’s That’s Entertainment. The prompt Lori gave us is as follows: “For the month’s challenge, let’s talk about commercials. I know, most aren’t widely entertaining, but there are some that are. I’d love to see you create a layout with the title being a slogan for a product used in a commercial.” What a fantastic prompt! Let’s see how it’s been put in play.

Layouts will appear in the order they were uploaded. As usual, each layout is linked to the Gallery so you can get a better look, and maybe leave a comment on the ones you really like. Just click on the Scrapper‘s name and you’ll zip to it.

First up is a layout from photocrazy. That background paper adds a sense of explosive movement that plays well with the Red Bull tag line.

To be totally honest, I had to look this one up – I didn’t recall it at all until I heard the music. But let me tell you, ktmoonblue has used the PERFECT textured paper for her title. It looks good enough to eat! The cookie elements are pretty darned realistic, too.

Formby Girl went super-simple for her MasterCard layout. Who could resist that face? (I’m kinda cracking up over the very feminine little girl holding a Batman umbrella, but that’s just my terrible sense of humour.)

I haven’t worn make-up in what feels like a lifetime, but I can recognize a great product when I see one. These artificial lashes and this mascara! Keeping the glamour aspect front-and-centre, dj_w reinforces it with her great photos.

Okay, who hasn’t got a favourite McDonalds jingle? My 42-year old son still likes a Happy Meal! I think dkane‘s layout could easily be a print ad.

KAPOH typically doesn’t “scrap” in the traditional way. I love that she took Clara Peller’s Burger King slogan from the 70s and created a little farm vignette.

So, imafishtank has gone quite obscure for her layout. I don’t recognize an advertising slogan here at all. Her journaling helped me make sense of the photo series.

Overachiever msbrad used two different, more recent product taglines, Energizer and Burger King. I love how she’s blended her focal photo and embellished with fun, summer elements.

Katherine Woodin is another over-achiever. She used both the tagline from a British cooking show and an older Burger King jingle for her memoir.

This was the main McDonalds message back in the day when I worked for them. (We won’t mention how long ago that was…) The photo stater used looks like a much nicer break that the ones I took in the basement of the Duluth (Minnesota) McDonalds back in the day.

Connie – Gerbera is of the same vintage as me, and she too liked the 70s McDonalds jingle. Her photo sets the tone for the patterned papers she chose to layer behind it, and she’s created a lovely memory.

I used to love the Kool-Aid man! (Sometimes I feel like I married him… my husband is about the clumsiest human I know.) I like how beccasue incorporated a photo of a partially-demolished wall as a nod to the ad.

Last, but not least, Briannasscrapper went with that golden oldie, Campbell’s Soup. She’s also got their signature red, gold and white colour scheme in there!

Now my brain is just humming with ideas for this Challenge! If I can find the photo I’m seeing in my mind’s eye, I’ll be back!

Tutorial Tuesday (Fonts)

Back-to-School

If you live anywhere in North America, you can’t escape the back-to-school frenzy, even if you have nobody in your life who’s in school. It worked out well for us though… our son’s backpack came home from his day program last week with a totally fubar zipper. Walmart had a wide variety of options and I grabbed him one that holds everything he needs on a day-to-day basis. Score one for Jan!! I managed NOT to buy any pens, paper and paint this year, so that’s another point for me. So how did we end up looking at back-to-school fonts, you’re thinking. Well, when my mom came to see me on my birthday back in May, she brought me a bag full of things she found when cleaning her house after my dad died. They were all things I’d saved from high school. I KNOW, right?! Looking through them was a real walk down memory lane. One thing that really struck me is how much my handwriting has changed over the course of my life. That bag had half a dozen different variations! So that led me to thinking about how much it bothers me that schools aren’t teaching kids cursive writing any more and how that will severely hobble them in the future. But I digress. I’ve rounded up a baker’s dozen of schoolish fonts, from learning basic printing to more “sophisticated” teenage girl script. (I don’t have to describe that one, do I?) 😀 They’re all from dafont.com and 100% free for personal use. Just click on the font’s name and you’ll go right to the download screen. Oh, yeah… they’re not in any particular order. You’ll see.

First one up is KG Perfect Penmanship. Many of you already know Kim Geswein‘s fonts… she’s a machine! This one is the most perfect example of grade-school printing ever. You’ll see a couple more of Kim‘s fonts in a minute.

This isn’t one of them. 😉 Learning Curve BV is exactly how I remember being taught cursive writing. Very controlled, perfectly shaped and spaced letters, easily legible.

Kindergarten looks a lot like a real child trying very hard to make every letter perfectly. I love it!

Makes You Stronger is Kim‘s controlled middle-school cursive. My handwriting looked a lot like this when I as about 12.

I liked Second Son School for the notebook lining. Doesn’t it bring back memories?

I feel like English Essay is an evolution of a typical girly cursive hand from the basic to beginning to add some personality. Remember writing big, loopy, widely-spaced letters to fill up the page faster? 😉

Why do I think this could be a serial killer’s first printing? Just kidding. The Writer is definitely a beginner’s hand.

Very Simple Chalk is exactly that. It’s an all-caps font, with two sizes to represent upper and lower case characters. It includes numerals and a wide range of punctuation, as well as multilingual characters.

When I saw this, I HAD to share it with you. The crayon shape is part of the character map and you can point the business end in either direction. To point to the left, use the { and } at each end of your word. To point right, use the [ and ]. Each of the letters in Crayonized has the lines above and below, so they all connect up. It’s pretty cool!

Then, if you want your journaling to look like you wrote it with a wax crayon… Crayon Hand.

Ooh, teenage boy time! Most of the guys I’ve ever known mix printing and cursive, with small letters – Random Handwritten. My husband’s writing is so tiny and tight it’s hard to read; it’s like he has to pay for the ink. And he likes superfine pens, to make it worse.

Here’s another must-conform-avoid-attention-and-meet-expectations-at-all-costs late middle-school girly hand. Ironic name, though: The Only Exception.

And last… the tween girl who wants to assert some individuality but still craves the approval of her teachers……. Simplify Notation Single Line is tidy, controlled but has little circle tittles. How many of us dotted our I’s with hearts at some time in our lives? 😉

Did you see one that you might use for the Journaling Challenge this month? I hope so!

Designer Spotlight #2: August 2025

CarolW Designs

CarolW has been a GingerBread Lady for s few years already, but this is her FIRST Designer Spotlight! She wanted to make up for lost time, so our conversation went on for a while… We touched on a LOT of stuff, so maybe you should grab a cup of coffee or tea and settle in. What I’m going to share with you is fascinating.

J: Carol, I’m so happy to see you in the Spotlight this month! I think you’ve been a bit of a mystery lady to most of us, so this is your chance to tell us what you’d like us to know. How about we start with what brought you to digital designing.

C: In 2009, while browsing the web by chance, I came across a scrapbook that I found quite magical. Since then, I have been crazy about it, and this is what I have persisted in for the longest time. I like making templates. Later, my mother told me that maybe I could try making templates and let more people use them. So I began my career in design.

J: [Please excuse the formatting snafus. WordPress isn’t playing nice today.] Oh, so you and I were cutting our teeth on digital scrapbooking around the same time! Where do you find your inspiration?

C: I usually think about which theme a color is more suitable for based on the color palette.

J: I think along the same lines, mentally sorting through my photos and kits to decide the basis for a layout. Do you have a favourite palette?

C: I like yellow, purple and bright color schemes.

J: I’ve never loved yellow, sorry… but I can definitely go along with the brights. What do you do when you’re in a creative rut? Do you have a place where inspiration just appears?

C: In parks or forests, I enjoy looking at any plants and flowers in nature and breathing fresh air. This way, my inspiration will come.

J: Who doesn’t feel better after being outside in nature? It’s a proven antidepressant! Is that why many of your collections have natural themes?

C: Yes, I prefer the themes of the nature series. I think nature can adapt to any occasion.

J: That’s so true. Is there a season or occasion you like to design for more than any other?

C: I like autumn designs. I think the colors of autumn are the most beautiful.

J: Hallowe’en is about my favourite time of year, so I agree with you. Do you like designing papers, or elements, or some other digital item most?

C: I love to design elements. For each one, I want to do it better. I keep comparing how to make it the most suitable and the most attractive.

J: That attention to detail is pretty obvious! Your designs are instantly recognizable and are always flawless. Is there a style or trend you’d like to try but haven’t found the courage to yet?

C: Graffiti style, collage style. I’ve always wanted to try, but I feel that I just can’t do them well no matter what.

J: I understand that better than you know. Grunge is hard to get right. I don’t think I can envision anything so gritty with your name attached to it. Can I ask how you came to your design brand?

C: It comes from my English name. My name only has a Chinese version. My surname is WEN. My English name, Carol, comes from my English teacher. She gave it to me when I was in primary school. I have been using this for so many years. The suffix “W” indicates that this is my surname: WEN.

J: Ah, that makes sense! I had a friend in nursing school who came to Canada from Beijing after the events at Tiananmen Square. She adopted an anglicized version of her name too, in order to fit in. I often wonder where she ended up. I hope she’s had a soft landing. How do you manage all the things you have to fit into your day, between designing, other commitments and personal stuff?

C: Every morning when I rest, I usually go to buy some things for my mother that she needs. After lunch, I started designing. Around four o’clock in the afternoon, I stop because I can’t sit in front of the computer for too long, or my head hurts. After dinner, I will go
shopping with my mother, or go with friends, or go to the movies.

J: That sounds like a nicely balanced routine you have. Do you have any advice to give someone who is new to digital design, or who is thinking about jumping in?

C: Perseverance and passion are gifts. Stay fresh forever!

J: Boy, does that last sentence ever resonate with me. So, enough about “work”. Like you, it makes my head hurt. Let’s talk about something fun! How do you unwind after a busy day?

C: I play games or watch my favorite TV series. I watched it with my father. Lying on the sofa, I poured a glass of ice water and discussed the plot and characters of the TV drama with my father. That feeling was extremely comfortable!

J: That sounds so cozy! I like being completely alone when I’m feeling stressed, and because I’m almost never completely alone, it’s a real treat. I’m going to put a sign on my studio door that says, “DO NOT DISTURB the CRAFTER. She may decide to hurt you.” My husband always seems to know when I’m trying a new technique or medium for the first time and throws me right off. Is there a hobby you’d like to try but haven’t yet?

C: Surfing, I’ve always wanted to try surfing once. I live in an inland area far from the sea, with no ocean around. When I travel, I always choose places with the sea, but I get seasick. So I have never gone surfing even once. So I really want to give it a try.

J: I think riding a surfboard is different from being in a boat. I don’t know that it would cause seasickness – your brain would be too involved in trying to stay on the board! Any surfers reading this want to weigh in? Let’s backtrack for a second. You mentioned a favourite TV show… what is it?

C: Criminal Minds. I really love this TV drama so much.

J: Oh, I LOVE it too! One of our daughters does a similar job for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but she says it’s not glamourous and they don’t have a private plane to fly around in. She’s also never arrested anyone and doesn’t carry a weapon. She always watched shows like Criminal Minds when she was growing up, and now that she’s living it, she prefers John Hughes movies instead. She watches Home Alone EVERY year at Christmas. Do you have a movie you could watch over and over and not be bored?

C: The Jurassic series. I like Jurassic Park and I also like Jurassic World!

J: My son loves those! Let’s play What If… If you could have any pet, real or imaginary, what would it be?

C: Dinosaurs!! I am very fond of paleontology and history. When I was in college, I really wanted to study archaeology, but that was rejected by my parents. I live in Japan and I really enjoy watching programs on paleontology and history. I also like visiting museums. I think dinosaurs are very magical animals! They are wonderful.

J: I should have seen that coming. 😀 If you could teleport to anywhere in the world, where would you go?

C: Egypt, I like Egypt very much, although I have never been there once. I want to see the pyramids. I want to see the mummies. I think that’s a very magical place. But because it was so far away from me, my plan never succeeded.

J: Coulda predicted that answer too. 😉 Don’t give up on your dreams! You never know when opportunity will knock. If you could live in a fictional universe, which one would you choose?

C: I want to go to Pandora. Yes, that’s because I watched the movie Avatar. I think Pandora would be extremely beautiful!

J: I think it would be too. I’ve never actually seen the movie; don’t the inhabitants of Pandora have um… special skills that you’d have to learn? Is there an Earth-bound skill you’d like to learn?

C: Driving. In fact, because of the car accident in 2015, I have never learned to drive. Even though I have fully recovered now, I still haven’t learned. I’m worried that when I’m studying, I might use the accelerator instead of the brake… This is really terrifying.

J: Yeah. It’s always a possibility, but it usually happens to elderly people. I do a lot of driving and I think soon I’ll be doing ALL of it. Hubby’s heading for the “elderly” realm. 😉 He’s kinda scary… Let’s flip this around. What flavour of ice cream would you be?

C: Vanilla. It has a fresh scent and is very gentle.

J: It’s uncomplicated. I’d want to be tiger tail… licorice and orange. It was my favourite as a child, and I haven’t had it in a LONG time. I have three tubs of ice cream in the freezer and none of them is exciting, just delicious. Do you have a favourite comfort food?

C: Noodles. Here, many people think that noodles can nourish our bodies and our spirits. Noodles are a very warm and nourishing food, so I think noodles can comfort me at any time.

J: Noodles are universal, aren’t they? Most cultures have them in some form. Now I’m hungry… Maybe we should wrap up. I’ll fill our readers in on the Spotlight particulars and link ’em up with the goodies. Thanks so much for your patience! Have a wonderful August.
