A Suave Mini Album with Julie!

Monday, July 28, 2014

Hi everyone! 

Julie with you here today with my very first 'official' post for Frosted Designs! I am super excited to be here and figured with my first post, I would share some things about me! :)

1) I have been scrapbooking since before dinosaurs roamed the Earth!  Well, not really, but it has been almost 18 years since I started, when my son Adam was born.  When I started, I was a single mom to my son, so I didn't have a great quality camera, so a lot of his younger year photos are dark, small, a lot of background with not a lot of Adam (no zoom) and overall not the best!

2) I love to buy paper collection packs!  Why? Because you get all the paper in a collection for a great price, and don't have to worry about 'missing' any of the papers in the collection.

3) I love to make mini albums! This also leads into #2! Having paper collection packs make making a mini album easier! You have enough papers to create an entire album and have extra papers to add dimension to your pages in your mini album! 

4) I love to UPCYCLE! That is one of my big things! I will upcycle/recycle anything into my art! For this mini album I am sharing today (and others I have made), I am using cardboard sleeves that I collected from a ton of my co-workers when my company gave us a paper pad portfolio, that was covered in the cardboard sleeve.  I cut them down to size for my mini albums and they are the perfect upcycle item! 

And now for my mini-album!  As I mentioned above, I have a lot of photos from my son Adam growing up -- they aren't the best photos, since I didn't have a great camera when he was growing up, but that doesn't mean that they don't deserve to be scrapped! :) 

I used Authentique's Suave collection for my mini album!

Friday Challenge: Flowers and Stitching!

Friday, July 18, 2014

Hi everyone, it's Anita here and today it is my turn to host the challenge! I thought and thought about what to make the challenge, we have so many talented ladies on The Frosted Designs Team that we have some great challenges- I wanted to make sure I was hitting the mark!

I finally decided on two of my very favorite things to create with:

STITCHING and FLOWERS
Just add flowers to your project, and some stitching (machine, hand, or faux) to be entered to win a fabulous prize from our sponsor!  A $30.00 prize package from...


Scrapmatts is an Australian based company providing quality laser cut chipboard pieces for all your projects!!!  


How easy is that? Something everyone can join in on.

For my project I used the fabulous Prima flowers from the Capture The Moments kit, and I added faux stitching around the edges of my layout. I use faux stitching quite a bit when I need to add a touch of detail to my project, but am too lazy to move over to the sewing machine! I don't even stress over making ever "stitch" the same length, I just grab my black journaling pen and go for it.
