Frosted Designs...

Hello Everyone!  Some how the numbers on the calendar have ticked away and its now March.  With the year almost a 1/4th gone it seemed fitting that the Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday challenge this week is "numbers".  You can interpret this challenge any way you would like. I decided to use my favourite number 3 and one of my favourite photos of my boys.  I have always loved the number 3.  Don't ask me why but I have.  :)  I think its pretty ironic that I have 3 boys that I love to pieces.


I used three different fonts of stickers on my cardstock base and misted over top of them.  I love the shadow effect that it made.


I wanted to incorporate elements of "three" into my page so I included three flowers, doilies, hearts, and the number 3.  I also wanted to sew on this layout so thanks to my best friend Lynne for the use of her sewing machine.  I had gone around my page once and it looked nice all but one corner.  And that corner was going to bother me so I had to go around it again.  And then it struck me....I need to go around my page THREE times!  :)  Yep...so a not so straight sewing turned into another element of 3 on my page.  :)





I really hope you'll play along with this challenge.  It was a fun one for me.  Make sure you link up your project to the Frosted Designs blog for the chance to win a prize and so I can check it out.

Happy Crafting!!  :)

  1. Lydia... this may possibly be one of my all time favorite layouts! I LOVE all the ways you included the number 3 in it, especially the masking of the words! And I completely adore the way you stitched around the edges!! Who would have thought that you were correcting something you didn't like to end up with the final product?! Gorgeous!

  4. I sent you a Liebster BLOG Award

    I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this in my comments box!! I am beyond thrilled to be recognized by a bloggy friend! Thank you so much! The award is for blogs who have less than 200 followers and helps promote their greatness! I want to thank She-She (aka Brenshevia) founder of Let's Get Sketchy for making my day :0)

    The origins of the Liebster Blog Award are unclear but "the word translates from German as "darling" or "beloved". It's given to bloggers who have less than 200 followers in order to generate some traffic for them.

    Here are the guidelines for the Liebster Blog Award
    1. Acknowledge the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
    2. Give this award to 5 other bloggers, who must have less than 200 followers, and let them know
    3. Post the award on your blog
    4. Best of all- bask in the glory, have fun, and share the love!

    Okay, now to the best part! Here are the five blogs I have chosen to receive this award:


    Tina
    Corrie
    Jenny
    Lydia
    Joni
    All of these ladies have the most beautiful blogs :0)1So girlies, please share this award, as it was shared with you. The idea is to promote blogs with less than 200 followers, which I think is a wonderful idea. There is so much talent out there that may go un-noticed without awards like this. Grab your award and post it with pride and know that somebody out there thinks you are amazing!!!!
