Good day GingerScrappers! \u00a0I’m a day late this month, but am thankful to be able to be here anyway, after giving my laptop a bath. Don’t ask, just know it hasn’t suffered any irreparable damage which is always a good thing when water + technology collide.<\/p>\n

Enough about me, let’s talk about Monica! Who is Monica, you ask? You know her as ViolaMoni here at GingerScraps and this lovely lady is our September Feature Designer!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

September is a special month for Monica, not only is she the feature designer here at GingerScraps, but it’s also her birthday month!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She has provided a few awesome coupon codes for us to use in her GingerScraps store<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Now that we’ve been officially coupon’d let’s get to know more about Monica as Violamoni!<\/p>\n

What is your design process?<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
\n
I usually find my inspirations from “real life” and from beautiful photos around the web. I choose a theme to work with and then I choose a color palette that can fit well with that theme. Then I can start, usually I start from solid papers.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
What program (or other) do you use to create your designs?<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
I use Adobe Photoshop CS5 extended and Art Rage.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Describe your design workplace\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
I have a black\u00a0PC with a RAM of\u00a06GB\u00a0\u00a0(no laptop), a bamboo tablet\u00a0and an HD full of scrap stuff \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\"46\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"32\"<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
What motivates and inspires you as a designer?<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Seeing positive feedback from my customers!<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
What is your *favorite* kit you’ve designed and why is it your favorite?<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Being Me<\/a> is my favorite kit, because….that’s ME! My colors, my style, …I LOVE it!<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
I definitely love the colors myself! \u00a0There is more than just the kit itself, check out the whole bundle! (all of which are in our GingerScraps store!)<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One of my favorite things about ViolaMoni’s designs is the Art Journaling aspect. I’ve always wanted to give it a go, as it’s a bit out of my scrappy zone but now I’ve got an excuse to try with the Designer Spotlight Challenge<\/a>. Just create a layout using 90% of ViolaMoni products and, BOOM! challenge completed!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What is something that is out of your scrapper comfort zone? Is there anything you are willing to try that you have only admired from afar?\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
