It’s always fun to get to know more about designers, so we asked Darcy a few questions.

Tell us a little about yourself, your design career, family, etc.
I’m a homeschooling mom of two little boys who love to geek out like their parents. I got into font designing about 3 years ago, and love being able to provide this service for folks to help them record their memories, their own way.

Do you create your own layouts? How do you share them? (digitally, traditional albums, photobooks)
Yes, I create my own layouts and do them in standard scrapbook form - print and put into traditional items.

What is your favorite MyPicTales product?
Print service, definitely.

What is your favorite creation?
DJB Angel Baby. Definitely - it was done in collaboration with the So You Think You Can Font Contest winner last year (look for that contest to reappear in March @ Sweet Shoppe!) It’s the hippest thing I’ve ever created. But then I also have a lot of love for my Stick*It Dates and use them on pretty much everything that I do now.

What is your favorite product by another designer?
Tough one…the Stuck Together frame series by Karah Fredricks @ The-Lilypad.com I spend most of my creating time doing a layout just trying to figure out how to layout the photos. I don’t always want a template, but I need help with photo placement, and those are my go-to’s when I’m stuck!

What is your favorite color?
Blue.

Who is your favorite author, musician or artist?
CS Lewis, Phil Keaggy and Frank Lloyd Wright. He’s not an artist, but I consider his archecture to be art

What hobbies do you have apart from scrapbooking?
I’ve just taught myself to crochet over the holidays, and I love reading and cooking.

What type of computer do you design on? What programs do you use?
I use a built from scratch windows machine (Hubby is a genius) and PSCS to create.

What is on your desk right now?
Everything in the world. I’m a terrible piler.

What is your favorite TV show or movie?
West Wing for TV.

What is your favorite font?
mine

Share your favorite recipe, quote or song lyric with us.
“The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance I owe only to the Giver of all good things.” - Rich Mullins

What is the last photo you took?
My guys doing their science activity for the week.

Darcy comes to us from Sweet Shoppe Designs where she is known for her fantastic handwriting and script fonts. We asked Darcy to tell us a little about herself, and her is what she said. “I am a homeschool geekish mom of 2 boys, married to a wonderful man who loves to help folks get their memories on paper in their own style through capturing their handwriting digitally.”

Not only can you order your own custom font from Darcy (a perfect gift for yourself, a teacher, scrapbooker or loved one) but, Darcy has created two fun fonts exclusive to MyPicTale’s Design Center for the month of February! All of Darcy’s fonts will work with our TaleWeaver software, as well as with any other programs you have installed on your computer! And, they are Mac and PC compatible!
