New Challenge at Frosted Designs PLUS a New Video!

Hey there everyone.

Today I have a mixed media layout to share.

I have used lots of different textures. I just love textures and splatters.. I've been a little obsessed with them lately! :o)

This week over at Frosted Designs Challenge Blog we have a new challenge and the theme is Stamping. Go figure, I'd pick THAT as my topic, as I am hosting this challenge. I have used the GORGEOUS stamp from Prima Marketing. Jamie Dougherty's Bloom Girl Stamps are simply amazing and you have so much room for experimenting with Copics! I LOVE IT!

I have used the Frosted Designs August Kit, 'Summer's End'. I've also used Gelatos and molding paste. I just love all of the layers using all of these different mediums. Here's a little video on putting my creation together. Enjoy!

See me in Action -- Coloring Lili of the Valley's Little Mermaid!

Hello there my blogging buddies!

 

Today I have a special treat for you. I have made this super adorable canvas,

 I used my LOTV Little Mermaid 1. I colored with my Copics . I'm sure loving the whole mixed media stuff. It sure is fun!

 

This is also my project for Frosted Designs, our challenge is Stamps, Masks and Paperclips. I have used some goodies from last months kit, Enchanted. I hope you will be able to play along with us.

 

Now, for some really exciting news.

I've decided to tackle the whole you tube experience! I plan on doing a video a week. I will do some videos where I'll  be talking and doing step by step instructions. Others will be full start to finish coloring in a speed video, who has time to watch me color for an hour and a half!

Anyways, my first video I'm coloring this adorable mermaid from start to finish. :)

 

Hope you will take the time to see me in action!

A pretty altered notebook!

 Hi there my crafty peeps!

I have a notebook I made using most of the products in this Frosted Designs Kit

I just adore this kit. The colors are gorgeous. I just love the new Tim Holtz stencil. I used some 3d molding paste on my journal with the stencil. I have distressed the edges of paper with my scissors and then I distressed them with the Tim Holtz Crackle Paint.

 

The stamp I'm using is this Gorgeous Bloom Girl Stamp. I used the no line coloring technique.

I just love those purple highlights in her hair! :)

 

I used some of the rub ons from the kit as well. Here's the sentiments along the bottom of the notebook. 

I also added some faux stitching along the top corner. I took the Maya Road Scalloped Frame and painted it with white acrylic paint. Then I added the rub on in the center.

Hope you like my project. Have a great day



Frosted Designs Challenge - Stitching and Flowers

 

 Hello out there in the crafting world.

I have a layout to share with you. I've use my Frosted Designs Enchanted Kit! So many goodies in there! :) This is my youngest daughter Katie's 1st grade school photo. She will be in second grade this year.. wow! Still can't believe it. Isn't she super cute!

 

I used the Kaiser Kraft Butterfly stamps and embossed some of them onto the gorgeous Bo Bunny Paper. I then, tore a few pieces of the paper and layered them onto each other. The cheese cloth in the back ground gives it a sewn on effect. I really LOVE the way this came out. Of course I added lots and lots of flowers too!

 

I hope you will be able to join us for our Flowers and Stitching challenge at Frosted Designs!

A little something different and some news!

Hello friends!

 

Today I have some wonderful news to share. I'm now a Design Team Member at Frosted Designs. I'm so excited they have such amazing kits. I think this will give me a creative outlet to expand my creativity. My life has become so repetitive from work to my classes and I think right now I NEED different. So I'm very excited about this!

 

Here's some products I used from Frosted Designs.

Fancy Pants Decorative Edge Chalk Tape

Beauty of Nature Kit

Prima Wood ATC

Studio Calico Wood Hearts

This week over at Frosted Designs Blog we have a Sketch challenge.
Here's my take on the sketch.

 

I used a 12x12 piece of cardstock and painted the center in white paint, very streaky. Then I placed my layout together and added some more paint on the wood pieces. Then I took my white chalk distresser and dabbed on the chalk tape and around the edges of my papers.  I used my Lili of the Valley Stamps, yes Lili of the Valley. They have a wonderful assortment of collage type stamps and beautiful scriptures.

 



 

This gorgeous paper is by Marion Smith Designs it's called Mad Hatter.

The Flowers are from Wild Orchid and Live Love Crafts.

 

 

 I Love that Little 'Drink Me' I had to make sure that was in there!

After I had everything glued down I decided to add some distressing with my Distress inks!

 

 

 

 

 

 I love, Love, LOVE this and I will be getting a shadowbox and it's going up in my house! :)
