Frosted Designs...

Hello Everyone!  Time for another Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge.  This week's challenge is handmade embellishments.  There are so many cool ideas out there for handmade embellishments!  For my layout, I used a pair of my son's jeans to make my circle "flowers".  I've always hung onto their ripped up or "too dirty" to be donated jeans just in case I wanted to use them for something.  (you'll have to come back for another really cool jean project coming in a month or so!  I'm excited about that one too!)



I just traced the circles on the jeans with my circle cookie cutters, cut them out, and then just pulled on the edges a bit to give them that frayed look.  Then I sewed them together with a bead and a little embrodery thread.  A little paint for my background, some bling, and my page came together.

I hope you'll stop over at Frosted Designs this week and play along with us!  I can't wait to see what you will come up with!  :)
