Hello Everyone! We are excited to debut our new look here at Frosted Designs! What do you think?! Debbie has been busy at work and did an amazing job giving us a fresh, new look! Thank you Debbie for all of your work on this project! And thank you to all of our followers for being patient while we had the site down for a bit!  I think it was worth it!

We have a new Frosted Designs blinkie on the right hand side bar!  Please make sure you grab the new blinkie to display on your blog.

We have new Top 3 blinkies for our challenges and have added a winner blinkie as well!
 
Along with our new look, we have a new feature to share with you... Spotlight Wednesday! What is that you ask?! Well, let me explain! Each Wednesday, Debbie is going to pick a project or two from the challenges the week before that are so exceptional, we want to share them with all of you! Projects to be featured can include cards, layouts, altered art, mixed media and any other crafty thing you make! It is just another way we can show off the work of our amazing followers! If you would like to have a chance to be featured in the Spotlight Wednesday post, you need to play along with our challenges! Projects will be chosen from our Fabulous Friday Challenge, Sketch Along Tuesday Layout Challenge and our Card Sketch Challenge! We really believe that we have something for every kind of crafter and are so thankful for each and every one of you who play along with us! We are thrilled to have another way to showcase all of your hard work! Look for the first Spotlight Wednesday feature this Wednesday! If we pick you, we will give you this beautiful new blinkie to show off on your blog! 

You know you want one! Play along with our challenges and this might just be yours! Be sure to check out our challenges and have a wonderful weekend!

*FROSTED DESIGNS WILL BE DOWN FOR A LITTLE WHILE ON SATURDAY WHILE WE MAKE SOME EXCITING NEW CHANGES! THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT WITH US!


Earth Day is coming up in April and we want to get a jump start on the celebration! So... this week, we are challenging you to Recycle or Upcycle something! 

Before we share with you what are Design Team has created to inspire you we wanted to let you know that the Frosted Designs blog will be down for a short period tomorrow morning.  Debbie has been busy designing a new look for our blog, along with new blinkies for all of our challenges.

.    We're excited about our new look and can't wait to share it with all of  you tomorrow.

Now let's see what our designers have created!

Liva used packaging from the Tim Holtz Hitch Fastners as submarine portholes. First she measured plastic spheres and then drew a submarine around them.


Brenda B.

 

Brenda recycled an old photo frame that didn't have the glass in it, and used a lot of patterned paper scraps to make the "crazy quilt" background pieces.

Lori recycled/upcycled on this project by using the packaging from the printer tray for embellishments on her project.  All of the lettering, the bird, the key hole, the heart, and the clock stand are made from the cardboard packaging from the printer's tray.  She used the cardboard along with a few sizzix diecuts to make some awesome embellishments.

The clock on the left side of the birdcage is Jenifer's recycled item for this week's challenge. She cut it out of packaging from some Prima flowers!

Erin Reed

Erin used the recycled part of a USPS box (cardboard) her scrappy goodies came in.
