MarkerPop Take Two

Hey everyone. Shanna here with part two of my guesting at MarkerPop. I am so grateful to be here sharing with you again.

So for this card I am using one of my favorite paper collections along with one of my favorite stamp companies.

I love Stamping Bella Uptown Girls! I also love Glitz Designs! So combining the two this is what I came up with!

Of course I colored my image with my favorite copic markers.... I think this maybe one of few tries (I can still count on one hand) of coloring yellow as a primary color.

I love how well the blue complimented the golden mustard yellow.

Happy Saturday to you.....Today I thought I would share a little summery goodness with a card I made for Sweet Pea Stamps. I tell you I love all the mermaids. I swear I cannot get enough. Isn't she just sitting there so pretty. Her jewelry reminds me of something ancient and one of a kind.

Side note: did anyone watch that show on the Discovery Channel I think. They had proof of real mermaids....but the government is trying to hide it.... and apparently bodies have been reported washing up with whales during beachings..... HMMMMM.... I think I might be a little convinced they exist considering how many things in the ocean we have not discovered. I don't see why people would want to hide mermaids either.

Anyway back to crafting. I love her. I know I keep saying I have a new favorite... she is on my list for sure.

Animal Print Art Journal

I have an art journal page that I made for Gina's Designs using some Robin's Nest Papers.

I had no idea what I was thinking when I made this.... I flipped through my art journal looking for uncompleted pages and loved the bright colors. I then thought what to do. I ripped up paper cut out some animals from the paper and then added more spray.

Here I used a word from the 10 Words Set and gesso'd it.

Here you can see the cut out animals.

Here is the whole page. I actually enjoyed how this turned out it is one hot mess that I believe in.

Items Used:

Robin's Nest Paper

My Little Man

Hey everyone. I wanted to have this posted earlier in the week but my camera died. I forgot to get batteries Tuesday when I went grocery shopping in a hurry to get back and pick my daughter up from dance.

I have a pile of adorable photos of both my kids just waiting to get put on layouts. I seem to be loving everything else at the moment though. I thought I would hurry up and post this as I created it for Gina's Designs based on a challenge at Scrap Around the World.

Here is the inspiration from the challenge

I love my sons first photos. Sleeping babies are so adorable. Even though he was a sleep he was not as cooperative as his sister was although she was awake for her first photo shoot.

My Recent Journal

CHECK OUT MY DESTASH SALE!!!

Good Morning. Today I am sharing my last post for Sin City Stamps. I am really sad that I didn't make the cut to stay but hey one door closes and another opens is the saying. I am thankful to have been picked for my creativeness for some other teams and thought it only befitting to share my project I made for the tryout again. I really enjoyed how I made this and plan on making more to come!

First I cut 2 pieces of chipboard into a 3.25"x6.25"
