Simple Things of Life/Frosted Designs Quote Blog Hop

Frosted Designs is having another blog hop.  If you haven't stopped by do so. You have until July 31st.  For this quote challenge you must create a project using part or all of the following quote:  "It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all." Laura Ingalls Wilder. I decided not to use the whole quote just part of it. The part that caught my attention was 'simple things of life.' It fit perfectly with the picture I used on my layout.

The products I used are Brazill, Teresa Collins, American Crafts, Studio Calico and Fancy Pants. I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Joy/Frosted Designs

Frosted Designs challenge is to create a project celebrating 'The Great Outdoors.' I decided to use a picture from our vacation. This was taken on our boat ride in Destin, Florida. I couldn't believe I actually got this shot of the dolphin following our boat, midair and with my iphone! I used Fancy Pants Down By the Shore collection. For the title I used Little Yellow Bicycle's canvas words. I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Love the Little Things in Life/Frosted Designs Blog Hop

Hello everyone! Frosted Designs is having an amazing blog hop.

If you haven't check them out do so!  They have some amazing sponsors and great inspiration from their design team. Since I am the only girl in this house hold I need reminding to do some more "girly" layouts.  I found a picture of my mother and I on Mother's Day from 2011. I did a layout using this picture. I used pieces from My Mind's Eye and Prima.

Pieces of my Heart/Frosted Designs

I am back from a much needed vacation.  It was nice to take Noah to where I went to on family vacations as a child.  Here is my layout using Fancy Pants' My Family.  I inked the two large piecesof pattern  paper with Tim Holtz Faded Jeans Distress ink.  I added a grungeboard heart from Tim Holtz and colored it using a distress pen, Barn Door.  This picture is one of my favorites of Noah and my husband walking on the beach.  I entered this in Frosted Designs challenge. This challenge was to use polka dots.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Still

I created this layout from a sketch by Frosted Designs for a challenge.  Here is the sketch and my layout:

There is a twist with this challenge. You have to use something with wings on the layout.  It could be a butterfly, airplane, bird, etc.  As I was looking through my photos trying to decide what to use, I found a picture of a butterfly. I took this picture last week on our trip to the zoo.  What luck!  I used Crate Paper's Restoration Collection.  I used some bling from Prima and the alphas are from Fancy Pants.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Frosted Designs Blog Hop

Frosted Designs is having a blog hop.  I really enjoyed this blog hop!  First we had to hop to each blog then make a project using this sketch:

Next you had to pick 3 items/techniques to use on your project.  You also had to go to the sponsors, Molossi and Graphic 45, facebook pages and show a little love. Here is my layout:

On my layout I used masking and  stamping for my techniques.  For my items I used pearls/bling, patterned paper, and ink.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!! 

Three/Frosted Designs

I found a new scrapbooking blog called Frosted Designs.  This month's challenge is to use 3 colors; black, white, and any other color that you choose to use.  I decided to use the collection Renew from Authentique.  I used black, white and a greenish/turquoise color. I am not sure the exact name of it. I kept the layout simple.  I used a photo of me which I rarely do.  Under the paper I have a journaling card.  I cut a piece of black paper and created a loop to pull the card out.  I wanted to keep the journaling private.  Thanks for stopping by!

(In the picture I know the background looks blue, but it is black.)
