TDS Studio Artist - ScrapShana

Shana is a very talented designer who has such a wide selection of kits and matching add on's and we are proud to present an exclusive kit - Sugar Rush. Find out more about Shana by reading our short interview with her.

Q: What is the inspiration when creating this kit called ‘Sugar Rush’ for TDS Studio?
Shana: My inspiration came from a bag of skittles actually. Bright, shiny, colorful and sweet! I wanted something that could be used year around and for any age or gender. Candy was the perfect choice! The name came after my daughter and her friend had finished off a bag of candy and were bouncing off the walls of my house. ;)

Q: How would you define your style of design at this moment?
Shana: Cute. LOL I used to steer clear of "cute", but since the birth of my granddaughter I have switched to more of a cute style. I tend to design based on what I like to scrap. And, right now, it's all about her!

Q: Where do you live? Does it have an influence to your inspiration and type of kits that you produce?
Shana: I live in Mississippi. However, I don't think that influences my designs. The only geological influence I had was for my kit 'The Last Frontier'. I created that kit so I could scrap childhood photos from when I lived in Alaska.

Q: How long have you been designing? Why digital scrapbooking?
Shana: I started digiscrapping in late 2006. At first I was hesitant because I love to get my hands in my crafting, but after I got started and saw how easy it was, I was hooked! No more dragging out all my supplies and taking up our whole dining room table with my stuff. LOL Not long afterwards, I began dabbling in designing materials myself.

Q: Is designing your full time occupation?
Shana: Oh no. I wish! LOL I'm a first grade teacher by profession. Scrapping and designing are how I unwind and relax after a hectic day with a room filled with six and seven year olds. ;)

Shana: The community is by far the best part. I have met some of my best friends through the digiscrapping communities. It is so cool to see their families grow and hear about their lives through the layouts they create. Q: Tell us a little about yourself and family. Shana: I am a single mother of three kids and have one granddaughter. We have several furbabies that live with us, and I am a big supporter of animal rescue. Besides scrapping and designing, I love photography and have started to dabble in that professionally. I also love to travel and learn about historical places. "Snow" Much Fun!
