Designer Spotlight Featuring Ashley!

Tuesday, October 9, 2012

We are excited to share a new feature with you.... Designer Spotlight! Each Tuesday, we will showcase one of our fabulous Designers so that you can learn a little more about them! This week, we are proud to announce Ashley!




5 Fun Facts about Ashley...

     1.  I have been out of the US twice on Carnival cruises, but have never traveled any further West than Louisiana, North than Tennesse, and East than Georgia.
     2.  Spiders scare the beejesus out of me...and it doesn't matter whether they are poisonous or not!!
     3.  Sarcasm is one of my natural abilities.
     4.  I always wanted to be able to play a musical instrument or sing, but never had lessons as a child, and haven't had the opportunity in adult-hood either.
     5.  One of my all time favorite book series is Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maude Montgomery...I still love reading it now, even though I'm almost 40!!  :)
 

More about Ashley...

I am happy to be serving my 3rd term with Frosted Designs and have grown a lot through the challenges as a Designer and as a participant before I made the Team.  Most of my scrappy goals have been attained to this point, but I would still like to design for a Kit Club and one of the big manufacturers.  I was recently invited to serve on my first Manufacturer team, Love My Tapes, and I get to play with all kinds of fun Washi, Fabric, and Lace tapes.  The other Teams I currently serve on, are Get It Scrapped! and ScrapFIT!  I have also been published multiple times in Creating Keepsakes magazine, ScrapStreet Magazine, and Scrapbook News and Review.  I do spend about 90% of my free time doing some scrappy related thing, but I also enjoy cooking and reading.  Spending time with my family is a big priority...and it also offers great chances for photo opportunities for future scrapbook pages!!

Some of Ashley's Favorite Layouts...





Thank you for stopping by and learning more about Ashley! Come back next Tuesday to learn more about another one of our amazing designers!

Fabulous Friday Challenge - Doilies!

Friday, October 5, 2012

It's Friday!! And that means we have a brand spankin' new challenge for you! Once again, we are helping you use up your supplies! This week we would like to see you use Doilies on your cards, layouts and off the page projects! And of course, they can be store bought doilies, die cut doilies, crocheted doilies or any other doily you can come up with! Our Design Team found some very creative ways to use up the doilies in their craft space... check it out!


Barb used Graphic 45 Communique Line of papers for her cards.


Teresa Jaye used a paper doily as a mask to apply modeling paste as a background on a wooden craft frame. There are also two crocheted doilies backing her burlap flower.

  Lori


Sketch #224 from Creative Scrappers


Brenda used a square paper doily as a mask, using white mist over kraft cardstock.  She cut off one corner of the doily and tucked it under the bottom of the photo.





We are so thrilled that Graphic 45 has been and continues to be a faithful supporter of Frosted Designs!
