Sketch Along Tuesday 11-16 Sketch

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

We're so glad that you could join us for our new Sketch Along Tuesday challenge here at Frosted Designs!  We've got some great new sketches to share with you, created by our very own designers, Diana and Debbie.   This week's sketch was created by Diana:
 And here is what our DT has created using Diana's sketch:

Diana

Diana used this picture of her oldest and youngest child and quoted "Believe it or not it was not easy for me to create this LO using the sketch I made". She used The girls paperie "On Holiday" and Me and My Big Ideas, a little Basic Grey and some old primas from her stash.

Debbie
 
Debbie chose to flip and rotate Diana's sketch and created this layout of her Nana, using Teresa Collins, Giving Thanks collection  and Welcome Home Chipboard collection,  along with some Prima flowers and Making Memories bling.  Debbie also added some $1 finds she found at her local Michaels.

Libeeti
Like Fern and Pat, Libeeti thought the sketch calls for a vintage lo. Libeeti used one of her parents wedding's photo and made this lovely romantic lo. She used Webster's pages & 7 Gypsies dp, with lots of romantic and vintage look embellishments to go along with the dp's. The title, "As Time Goes By", is from Casablanca, which is Libeeti's fav movie.

Pat
 Pat used Fancy Pants  Happy Together papers, Dusty Attic fence inked with SU ink, misc. crochet flowers,cricut to cut shaped paper,ribbon & lace trim.

Fern
Fern thought Diana's beautiful sketch would make the perfect heritage/vintage layout to showcase this treasured family photo of her Great Grandparents!!!

Joni
 Joni used Basic Grey Pyrus to document the house where she grew up (and her parents just sold after 51 years).   She did double duty this week, as this also meets the "regular" challenge this week of THANKS.  The epoxy sticker (sorry for the glare) says "I can never Thank You enough" and she journaled a little thank you note to her parents.  She stitched beads onto the borders for extra dimension.

Now remember if you play along with  our Sketch Along Tuesday bi-weekly challenges you have a chance to win this fabulous prize this month featuring Cosmo Cricket's Togetherness Collection along with lots of embellishments:

Look at all this yummy goodness!!

 That is a lot of scappy goodness!!! How about some closeups for a better look?!!  :)
 Did you see all those flowers and ribbons and buttons and rhinestones?!
 It even has a sticker sheet, element cards and border strips!!
And...Look at that paper!! This paper is two sided so you have a lot of patterns to choose from!!!

Each biweekly challenge will have the Top 3 winners listed and at the end of the month one lucky person will win this Cosmo Cricket Collection.

Now it's your turn to be creative.  We'd love to see your layouts and cards.  Be sure to link up your entry by noon (est) on Monday, November 29th.  Monday evening we will announce our Top 3!

Sketch Along Tuesday

Tuesday, November 2, 2010

Welcome to our first Sketch Along Tuesday Challenge!  Our very own designers, Diana and Debbie have been busy creating some new and fresh sketches exclusively for Frosted Designs. Our Sketch Along Tuesday Challenge will be a bi-weekly challenge and our prize will be separate from our Fabulous Fridays Challenge.

Our first sketch was designed by Debbie:

And now let's see what the design team did with Debbie's sketch:
  
Debbie used My Mind's Eye Alphabet Soup collection to create this fun layout of her dog Zoey.


Debbie also used this week's sketch to make this friendship card.

Joni moved the "blocks" down into the body of the layout, but stayed pretty true to the original sketch design for this sweet simple page of her son's Kindergarten school photo using Bo Bunny's new school line, Learning Curve.

Barb took this week's sketch and turned it into an easel card! She changed one of the squares to a rectangle to accommodate her title!

Pat used Dusty Attic gates, Su papers & ribbon, felt leaves are LYB & the title & top leaves are Jolee's bling. Pat loved Debbie's sketch & pretty much used it the way it was.

Fern was so excited when she saw this wonderful sketch by Debbie.  It was perfect for all of those adorable photos she took of her little grandson dressed in his Halloween costume.  She rotated the sketch 90 deg. and used minimal embellishments so that the photos would take center stage.

Libeeti took some liberty with the sketch and  twisted it to fit her boy's photos, sitting in a train at the amuzement park. The title says: "Here comes the Train". She rolled some scraps to make the steam, and used some BG's die cuts for the wheels. She framed the "train" with some journaling.


If you play along with us with our Sketch Along Tuesday bi-weekly challenges you have a chance to win this fabulous prize this month featuring Cosmo Cricket's Togetherness Collection along with lots of embellishments:


Each biweekly challenge will have the Top 3 winners listed and at the end of the month one lucky person will win this Cosmos Cricket Collection.

We spent this past week introducing you to our new team... now it is time to show you their work!

Joni



















Joni made this cute little jar using an old pickle jar...just wrapped pattterned paper around to cover the parts of the label she couldn't get removed.  A package of stickers and a ribbon....  now, what to fill it with??  The possiblities are endless...    


Diana made these treat boxes for her DD Kindergarten class. She is putting a cupcake in each of them and adhering with a clue dot to the bottom of the cupcake wrapper so that the cupcake stay put. She used MS pp pad and K & Company Halloween die cuts.

Cassie used a Purple Panda digital stamp to create treat cups, cupcake flags and dish I.D. tags for her upcoming Halloween party.


Gulnara wanted to do a layout about her child enjoying the holiday treats! This is the story, named "What happens when time for Holiday Treats comes")))
Libeeti made this lo about her family tradition to give the kids nuts on Passover, after the the formal feast, so they can play with them. In the photo, young Libeeti is holding the bag with the nuts. Libeeti said that they were thrilled to get those nuts and play with them all night, while the grown-ups set and had their talks, till bed time. The title is a line from a Passover's
    song, and it says: My pockets are filled with nuts

Side view of the pretty glass jar.
Kim used the Purple Panda rip image to create a creepy tag for her husband's Halloween treat jar. She filled a jar full of Hershey Nuggets with almonds, one of his faves. She colored up the rip image and and attached to some creepy dp.
This is the top view of her candy jar. She used a felt embellishment and some Halloween trim to finish off the treat.


Jessica altered a clean, recycled glass gravy jar into a perfect little gift giving container. She wrapped two layers of coordinating scalloped cardstock around the base of the jar, then topped with a strip of Bo Bunny Olivia paper. To hide the seam in the Bo Bunny paper, she cut out similar flowers from the scraps and popped them up using foam pop dots. She wound a length of 1-1/2" wide satin for the bow, tucking it under the large flower for a seamless transition.

For the lid, Jessica traced the top of the lid onto the reverse side of the same Olivia paper (which can be seen on the reverse of the jar band when the jar is opened). She wrapped the side of the lid in satin ribbon that she pleated using dots of hot glue to hold down the pleats. Everything on this jar was adhered using hot glue.


Since this jar can't be washed, it will be filled with wrapped candy and small gift items for her kiddo's teachers. That way, they can reuse this container for treats of their own when they've gone through the goodies it will come with!

Esther

Esther got out her Cricut machine to create this adorable layout! She used the Winter Frolic cart for the title and Create a Critter for the penguin!!Barb


Barb whipped together some yummy Halloween treats to send to her daughters at college! She wrapped their favorite candy bars with cute patterned paper and added some fun embellies. She also made a card as well as a "matchbook" to hold their gift cards!

Pat made this adorable Advent Calendar! Would you like to know how she did it? You might just want to check back Sunday!!

Angela
And now... we are going to leave you with a card that the lovely
Angela made using a Purple Panda Designs digi!!
Isn't it beautiful? You could win this digi for yourself! All you have to do is play along!!

WOW!! That is a lot of inspiration!! Now we would love to see what you can do!! Share your holiday treats with us!!

Jessica used two different sized circle punches to create a nesting affect to highlight the primary focus of her picture.

The 2 flowers to the right of the photo are tag the are hidden in the black swirly pocket for some hidden journaling. The flowers are prima and the little title is K & Company.
