Fabulous Friday Challenge - Buttons!

Friday, July 22, 2011

This week's challenge is sooooo easy, EVERYONE can play along with us! Our sponsor this week is Buttons Galore and More so we thought it would be perfect to challenge you to use buttons on your cards, layouts and projects! This is one supply we all have and we would love to see the creative ways you use buttons!

We would like to welcome this week's Guest Designer..... Veronica!

Hello! My name is Veronica Rosman and I am so excited for the chance to be your Frosted Designs Guest Designer.

I have always been a creative person. At the age of 7, I wrote a whole “article” about the Cleveland Browns football team losing to the Pittsburg Steelers. I went on to write poetry, short stories and eventually became a newspaper reporter. Although I loved being a reporter, it wasn’t the creative outlet that I expected it to be. So, I turned to scrapbooking. I had total creative control – nobody could tell me what to scrapbook. I could use any photo arrangement I liked, pick the papers I liked and add the stickers I liked. Plus, I could write about things that interested me, including my husband, my dogs and eventually my kids.

Once I became a stay-at-home mom in 2002, scrapbooking became a chance to get together with my friends and enjoy some time as an adult. I could reflect on my children through my photos and often returned home a much better mommy. Over time, I started teaching scrapbooking to others. Teaching allowed me to share my passion and skills and in turn, my students helped refuel my creativity. I teach all scrapbooking levels and techniques, but I specialize in the Cricut machine. I love that bug!



Veronica has more pictures and all the details of how she made this adorable card on her blog! She would love it if you would visit! Click HERE!

Before we show you what our Designers did this week, we would like to wish ANDREA a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (Her birthday was actually yesterday but better late than never!! lol!!)



Here is what our Design Team did with this week's button challenge....

We are back with a new challenge this week..... we would like to see you use stitching on your card, layout or project!! Don't worry, you don't have to own a sewing machine to play along! In fact, you don't even have to own a needle!! Any kind of stitching will do... even faux stitching!!

Please welcome this week's guest designer..... Cassie!


Hi, my name is Cassie and I am so excited to be guest designing this week! I have been scrapbooking for about 6 years now, but have been really serious about it since my daughter was born in 2007. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 8 years now. I am also an Army Wife and have been for 7 years now. I love to scrapbook the ups and downs of life. My favorite thing about this hobby is being able to not only look back at the different places we have lived but because it is also a way for my husband to see what happened while he is deployed. I hope you enjoy this weeks challenge as much as I have!


Cassie would love it if you would visit her blog! You can get there by clicking HERE!

Fabulous Friday Challenge!

Friday, May 27, 2011

We are so glad to see you here today! Our design team is really excited to share some new, fresh ideas with you! With school winding down for the year and kids playing outside, we are starting to think about summer! This week is National Backyard Games Week and to honor that, we are challenging you to make a card, layout or project using a BBQ, Picnic or Outdoor Games theme!

We would like to welcome this week's guest designer..... Toree!!


Hello! I am Toree Vela and I am thrilled to be this week's guest designer here at Frosted Designs. I'm home grown here in sunny Phoenix, Arizona. I've been scrapbooking for over 8 years and can't get enough of it. Lately, I've been through several changes with my family and career. Scrapping is the one thing that is keeping me from going crazy! I don't have any children, so my 7 nieces and nephews make regular appearances on my pages. My little chihuahua, Rufio, is also featured frequently. The two that get scrapped the most are my wonderful boyfriend, Thomas, and I. Scrapping has been a wonderful way to express my feelings and create images that go beyond the pictures. I feel it is important to scrap my own stories, including pictures of myself. I'm interested in learning new techniques and being inspired by the wonderful crafters around me. I love to host challenges on my blog, nightsmile's Pretty Pages and participate in challenges as well. Happy scrapping everyone!
