Happy July everyone! \u00a0It’s been said before, but I truly cannot believe how time just whizzes by. I’m excited to bring to you a new feature we have at GingerScraps starting this month: The Designer Spotlight!<\/p>\n
Each month we’ll be spotlighting a GingerScraps Designer and to kick things off for July, say hello to Rachel, known as Pretty in Green!<\/p>\n

Rachel has been a designer at GingerScraps since 2009. In a perfect world, I would have been able to sit down over a cup of tea and chatter away with Rachel about what inspires her as a designer, her family and her hobbies outside of digital scrapping. Instead the Internet brings us together, gotta’ love technology!<\/p>\n
Today it’s all about designing, Rachel as Pretty in Green.<\/p>\n
What is your design process?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Once I am inspired I look for just the right colors, or if the colors have inspired me I look at my digi stash and see where I can start, and then I pick out a cardstock overlay and start with solid colors and then patterned papers then the elements, and then sometimes I add just a few more patterned papers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n What software do you use as a designer?<\/em><\/p>\n I’m a Photoshop girl.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n What motivates and inspires you as a designer?<\/em><\/p>\n My kids, my husband, family day to day. \u00a0I usually create kits that I need to scrap my life, but sometimes colors really speak to me and I go from there, that usually ends up being the really fancy kits. \u00a0I have found through designing that I’m a girly girl who really likes damask prints, LOL!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Describe your design workplace<\/em><\/p>\n My dinning room table, or my living room. During the summer months I sit in the dinning room which is more comfortable. During the winter I move \u00a0to the living room coffee table because it’s warmer in there, but I sit on the floor and that is not so comfortable.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n What is your favorite kit you’ve designed?<\/em><\/p>\n Oh man, this is always a hard one, there is something I love about each one of my kits, but if I have to choose, then I’d have to say Courageous<\/strong> because it’s a kit inspired by the Pixar’s Brave<\/em>. \u00a0It’s a kit with forest greens and cool blues and touches of warm red, I love the way that kit scraps, it has a lot of ME<\/strong> in it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Courageous<\/a> is available in Rachel’s GingerScraps store:<\/p>\n\n
