Frosted Designs...

Hello Everyone!  This week's challenge at Frosted Designs is a recipe challenge.  Your project must contain at least 4 of the following.....

1.  The color yellow
2.  Ribbon or Lace
3.  Chipboard
4.  Flowers
5.  Misting or inks
6.  Buttons
7.  Stickers
8.  Rub ons

I was in the middle of a massive clear out/clean up of my scrap room when I came across a notebook in my things.  I really didn't care for the design on the front so I decided to give it a make over.  I started with a sheet of patterned paper and used antique linen distress ink to give it a little more colour.  I used glimmer mist on my doiley and the riboon.  I was drying my ribbon with my heat gun and noticed it bunching up.  What a stroke of luck!  I love the look.  :)  Add in some flowers, buttons, and my title and my notebook was fresh and new.

I hope you'll take the recipe challenge!  Make sure you link up your projects to Frosted Designs for a chance to win a prize and so I can check them out.  

Happy Crafting!  :)

Wow....October already!!!  Its an exciting month for us here in Dunedin.  Not only is it my birthday month, friends visiting from the States, AND we will have our first preview service for the church we are starting here.....which by the way is on the 30th...MY birthday!!  :)  We have been working toward this day for a couple years now....exciting stuff.  Ok.....I get a little excited about this month.  :)

October also means another challenge over at Scrapbookers Anonymous.  This month's challenge is "die cuts".  This could mean dusting off that die cutting machine....or maybe your's doesn't have dust on it!!!  Or it could be using die cuts made from a manufacturer.  Either works for this challenge.  I used the Cuttlebug for this challenge.  I wanted to keep it fairly simple so I dry brushed a few different colours of paint on my cardstock and then added my photo and embellishments.  Easy peasy.....  :)

I hope you'll pull out your machines or find your die cuts and play along with us.  Make sure you link up your project to Scrapbookers Anonymous for a chance to win a prize and so I can check them out.

Happy Crafting!  :)

Hello Everyone!  Its a beautiful Friday here in Dunedin.  The Gals at Frosted Designs have another Fabulous Friday challenge for you.  The challenge this time around is "fussy cutting".  I have cute doilies out of a patterned paper and used them on my layout.

This is another one of my favorite photos of Ian.  I just love his natural smile which isn't always easy to capture.  I thought "simply delight in happiness" was fitting for this photo.

I hope you'll get out your scissors and get to cutting!  Make sure you upload your project to Frosted Designs for a chance to win a prize and so I can check it out.

Happy Friday!!  :)

Hello Everyone!  This week's Fabulous Friday Challenge at Frosted Designs is "ransom note/different fonts".  If you are anything like me, you have a variety of alphabets in your stash to choose from.  :)  I just love my alphas!

I am making a chipboard book of various photos and this one of the pages.  This photo is of Aden, my youngest.  I just love his natural smile.  I'll post more of my book as it comes together.

I hope you'll play along with us at Frosted Designs.  Make sure you link up your project for a chance to win a prize and so I can check it out.  :)

Hello Everyone!  This week's Fabulous Friday Challenge at Frosted Designs is to use your "punches".  I decided to do another butterfly project.  You might remember this post here where I used my butterfly punch to make some home decor.  I have been helping my friend Lynne make some cool framed art for her daughter's room.  (She is going to have the coolest wall of art!!)  I thought this was a good time to make a monochromatic piece of butterfly art.

Once again I used a paint chip strip for the butterflies and then attached them with glue dots in the middles so they would "fly" off the page.

Make sure you link up your project to Frosted Designs for a chance to win a cool prize and so I can check them out!

Scrapbookers Anonymous ABC challenge...

Hi Everyone!  I hope you're enjoying the challenges over at Scrapbookers Anonymous.  Its time for another letter challenge and this month its "B".  So did in your stash and find those "B" products....there are so many out there!!

I have used Basic Grey paper, bling, and the letters are beads.  This is my beautiful niece.  She is getting so grown up!!  I'm so proud of her.....I do wish she wasn't growing up quite so much while we are in New Zealand....but I suppose that's what "kids" are suppose to do.  Well, I love you Maisie!!  Keep growing beautiful inside and out.  :)

I hope you'll dig in your stash and find you "B" products.  Make sure you link up your project for a chance to win a prize and so I can check out your projects.
Happy Crafting!  :)

Hello Everyone!  This week's Fabulous Friday Challenge at Frosted Designs is "tickets, envelopes, and/or postage stamps".   Anything goes with this challenge.  I used an envelope for some hidden journaling and the ticket side of my Graphic 45 paper, our sponsor this week.

I love these photos of Aden.  I was watching him on the beach through my camera when he came closer and closer.  I love this impish streak in Aden.  No matter how old he is, I wanted to remind him to always be himself.

I love this Graphic 45 striped paper and the opposite side is the Pairs "postage stamps".  I'm thinking I need some more of this paper.  :)

I wanted to keep this layout really simple so I only used a few buttons, some twine, and a few word stickers along with the paper "stamps".

I hope you'll play along with us this week at Frosted Designs.  Make sure you link up your projects for a chance to win a great prize and so I can check them out.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Happy Friday!!  :)
