Frosted Designs Challenge - Ribbon/Twine/Washi

Frosted Designs challenge for the next two weeks is Ribbon/Twine/Washi.  The project is to use at least two of them.  For this challenge, I alcohol ink-dyed a vase and used all three.  How simple and quick with the end result being a great gift.

Frosted Designs Blog Hop

Mums, daughters, girlfriends, sisters, mother in laws, could be any photo you've had with any other lady in your life, a photo you have with mum on your wedding day, or you and your daughter on a holiday, even a party with the girlfriends, the list goes on. If it's a card or OTP project, it just has to be girly, the more girly the better.

 

 

For my project, I created a journal using a composition notebook.  The front cover is below.

 

 

We have 2 amazing sponsors for our Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Blog Hop.... 

 

The first sponsor is Artsy Albums!!! 

My name is Traci and I have been creating scrapbooks since I was in high school. I have also been married to my high-school sweetheart for 24 years and we have two wonderful boys -- one in college and one in high school. 

After a 17 year career in the pharmaceutical industry that just didn't tap into my creative side enough, I retired and went to work in the scrapbook industry. I have enjoyed designing albums, store samples, classes, and kits so much that I recently decided to take a leap of faith and open my own company.

Artsy Albums is a product of a deeply rooted passion. After losing my mom to breast cancer when I was a teenager, I learned the importance of our memories, the pictures we take, and the stories that may never get told if we do not document them. I truly love to create beautiful albums that focus on the photos and the stories behind them. I also enjoy creating mini album kits that are fun to put together, easy, and affordable. If you love to scrapbook, try an Artsy Albums kit to create your next project!

I always welcome the opportunity to help you turn your photos into a keepsake that will be shared for generations.  www.facebook.com/artsyalbums

Frosted Designs Challenge - Polka Dots

Frosted Designs challenge is all about polka dots.  I think they work with whatever one creates and never go out of style.  Below is a tag I created using a variety of polka dots.

Frosted Designs Challenge - Punches

WOW!  The three-day weekend really through me off!  I had the Frosted Designs challenge project completed by last Wednesday and every day I told myself to take the photos, take the photos, take the photos.  Normally, I put off taking photos when it is dark, gray, dreary, and rainy.  I prefer to take my photos on the sunny days.  Yes, I could use my OTT lamp or other means but I rely on the weather.  With each passing day of gray weather, so did the photo.  But then it hit me on Monday (which I thought was Sunday) that the Frosted Designs Challenge was due and I was late.  I don't like nor do I "do" late very well at all. 

Here is the card I created for this weeks challenge at Frosted Designs - to use punch/es.  I actually made a card (mostly because I don't own many punches at all). 

 

I love tulips and had both a border punch and individual punch that worked for this project.

Frosted Designs Challenge - Sketch & Doilies

Imagination gives us wings... that is the theme I used for the challenge at Frosted Designs this week.

It started with a sketch:

Using gelatos, fiber paste, stencil, brayer, embossing folder, and pearl ex, I created the below.

 

Come join us at Frosted Designs.  Show us your interpretation of the sketch.

 

Thanks for stopping!  Please leave a comment.

Frosted Designs Challenge - Travel

The next challenge at Frosted Designs is travel.  Not having travelled much I decided to use a mini album created using the Graphic 45 Travelogue line.  This album was started in a class at a LSS and completed at home for this challenge.

 

Come join us at Frosted Designs for the travel challenge.

Thanks for looking.

 

Frosted Designs Challenge - Scallops

The next challenge at Frosted Designs is scallops.  Recently I acquired this mermaid stamp and her fish tail is scalloped.  Using the canvas bags from 3 Girl Jam and my fabric markers I scalloped the background and colored the mermaid.  The bow is from ribbon sent from a friend because it reminded her of mermaids.  I had to incorporate that, too, into the bag.  It looks so much better in person.

 

Thanks for looking!  Come play along at Frosted Designs and the scallop challenge.
