Heartfelt Creations Design Team!

I certainly received one of the most wonderful shocks of my life this morning!  I did not mention it on my blog, but I applied for the Heartfelt Creations Design Team and was selected as a semi-finalist.  I was not even sure when the selections would be announced and lo and behold, my wonderful friend Joan Fricker sent me an email congratulating me on making the team.  I checked the blog and sure enough, my name and a photo of one of my cards is right there!  I consider it an honor to be included with so many wonderful ladies with such a vast amount of talent.

Studio 313 Exclusive Creations
Hello! My name is Shawne, I am an Illustrator. I love art in many forms. There is always something new to learn and experiment with. Card making is perfect with many different mediums and that is how I got hooked! I just recently moved my image line, Studio 313 by Shawne to McMahon Five Designs and am really excited to be working with my friend Sue McMahon. I also have a line of stamps at Clear Dollar stamps, although I am no longer there. You can find out more about my past work and some more recent at my blog Paper Art From Studio 313.

It will be fun to see how each card is different but made from the same materials.  This is our second round, April will be the third and final round of our competition.

Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow!

lt's another sensational Saturday and also time for a new Sugar Creek Hollow challenge.  This week our challenge is to create a card or other paper crafting item using the following sketch:

I chose an image from Tracy's new "Flower of the Month" series, the April Sweet Pea found in the store here, and this is my card for this week's challenge:

I used Copic markers to color my image and my design paper is from DCWV's "29th Street Market" collection.  I used Spellbinder's "Parisian Accents", "Grand Labels 11" and corners from a "Fleur De Lis" pendant die.

Thanks for visiting and hope you will visit my team mate's blogs and leave them a comment, I know they would love to hear from you!
