Hey all, Polly Jewelle here! I am back to bring you another TLP member spotlight! This month I asked the other Polly’s here at the Pad to help pick a member to spotlight. We chose Denise (aka dennydenny) to spotlight. Her beautiful gallery caught our eye and we knew we needed to share it with the community. Lets sit back and take some time to get to know more about Denise.
Jewelle: What is your IRL name and your user name?
Denise: Denise or dennydenny.
Jewelle: Where do you call home?
Denise: My home is in the Alps, in northern Italy. I live near Lake Garda and I’m in love with the mountains, the numerous alpin lakes and the nature we live with.
J: Digital or Hybrid? Both?
D: Digital
J: How long have you been scrapping?
D: I began with paper scrapbooking 10 years ago I think, but then I discovered digital too and I fell in love. My first “pages” were only photoshop experiments. I didn’t have any digital products yet.
J: What is the starting point for your pages – photos, the story, products?
D: For CT work the starting point of my pages is the product. Then I choose the photo that works best and I begin to play! When I’m doing PL pages, the starting point are the story and the photos. From the photos I choose a color scheme and a theme to work with. After adding the photos to my template I’ll search the right journaling cards and elements.
J: How would you describe your style?
D: I think my style is quite clean and simple even if I try to be more messy sometimes.
J: Any must-have items or techniques on all of your pages?
D: I love to use a plain background, mostly with white or craft papers. Then I add paint! I never thought about this very much but now that I write it down I realize that I start my pages like paintings. I did some paint work several years ago and the feeling of starting from a white background is something magic and I love that feeling even if can be a bit intimidating.
J: Do you have a favorite tip or trick you can share with us?
D: I use a lot of shortcuts… the ones I use often in my PL pages are actions that I create to resize and to add shadow to journaling cards to fit perfectly in my template.
J: Do you listen to music while you scrap? What kind?
D: I don’t listen to music when I scrap but sometimes I hear it in my mind. I know, I’m weird.
J: What’s your favorite snack (if any) while you scrap?
D: I try to not eat anything when I’m at the computer.
J: What time of day do you feel most creative?
D:At night when all the family is sleeping!
J: Share with us your favorite 3 layouts.
D: This is one of my favorite layout because of the colorful paint, I love to play with paint and rainbow colors!
D: I like this for the shadow work and the wood background. I don’t use this very much but I love it and it’s very interesting.
D: In this layout I was surprised by the similarity of the colors between the background paper and the photo. Then I played a bit turning some paint white.
