S2G Twisted Thursday Challenge

I decided to try my first company based challenge today. My fellow cardmaking friend Justine

designs for a company called Shirley's 2 Girls or S2G for short. This is my submission for their "Twisted Thursday" challenge. I copied the layout and add the "twist" of polk a dots as per the requirements. I apologize for the terrible pics. I was trying to capture the textured polk a dot background.

I also decided to give my few Copic Sketch markers a try on the tiny cupcakes. Didn't turn out like I wanted. I'm a novice at Copics so maybe with some more trial and error I'll get it right.

Supplies

Retired Simply Scrappin' Kit

I used the rectangle and circle stickers in the scrappin kit and used my star punch with them. Clever idea for those strange shaped stickers you have no use for.

Snip, Stamp, tape, pop, score. . .

These are sounds heard as I try to whip up a super cute project to show you guys. Excuse the long delay in postings. . .
