Featured Scrapper 10/23... Marnel!

[angedawn]

This weeks featured scrapper is Marnel who's georgeous gallery can be found right here:http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=242

Ok, I hope I can explain why I think Marnel's gallery is so awesome. You know how often times digital scrappers will aim for pages that mimic paper, or they will aim for pages that look more "graphic designish" like magazine ads, I think that Marnel's gallery is super unique because it has the perfect blend of "paper looking" elements and also "graphic looking" elements. And often times on the same layout. Her pages have a perfect balance to them that is achieved by using both approaches... it's amazing! :)

Two of my favorites are:

I only came across Marnel's work THIS WEEKEND at the DesignerDigitals all-day chat. Its fabulous.

This page really appealed to be because of the beautiful calm colours and the seaweed-like & wane-like scrolls:

1. What program do you use to scrap? It was Paint Shop Pro up until 3 weeks ago, I mainly use PhotoShop7 now. PSP is a memory hog and super slow if it shall be compared.

3. What are your 3 favorite fonts at the moment? Inkburrow, Susies Hand and 28DaysLater my top 3 I have like 7 but you only want 3 right!

4. What kind of digital products are you a sucker for? Embellishments I gotta admit it I'm a sucker for the Embellies!

5. What was the last digital product you bought (give us a link please!!)
I had to go into my CC Confirmation folder to dig this out! Just so you know! It was the Fall Crush by DaniMogstad I bought it of course you guessed it b/c of the Embellishments. Here's the link two seperate cuz they're sold sepreately

I'm currently on Diamante Designs, Robin Cabana, Michelle Pearson and Scrapbook-Elements, I'd love to be on 3 more but I'll keep it to myself only cuz they might laugh at me!

7. What movie could you watch over and over again? Hands Down GREASE, anyone else wish they had a part in that movie I've watched it too many X's to count my dh had to buy me a new DVD.

8. What show can you not miss on tv every week? I'm not much of a TV person I'd rather be doing something w/my lil one's or online or scrappin. Oh wait I'm starting to get into Heroes my kids TVO it for me, but I won't drop what I'm doing for the show. :(
