3 x 3 Challenge and a new adventure

For the last seven months I have been lucky enough to be part of the design team for Frosted Designs, which is a challenge blog. I have enjoyed every challenge and look forward to doing many more.

This month the girls, Amanda and Barb started a new adventure, they opened an online store and kit club, which you can find here Frosted Designs. So excited about the new format at Frosted Designs. There is still a challenge every fortnight, but one of the design team members gets to pick the challenge. 6 days of the week the design team will share their use of products that can be found in the store.

The challenge this month is the first shop challenge is 3 x 3. Pick any three shapes eg. squares, rectanges, stars etc and use them 3 times each on your card, layout or mixed media project.

The three shapes I used are Hearts, Arrows and Circles.

Dylusions Ink Spray - White Linen
Dylusions Ink Spray - After Midnight

Chipboard

Chipboard is a product that comes in so many shapes and sizes and you can do so much with.

The challenge at Frosted Design is all about chipboard. Use it to embellish your card, layout or off the page project.

For this particular challenge I decided to create a layout. The three butterflies are chipboard which have then been painted white with Tim Holtz Distress Paint.


I love colouring my embellishment to fit my ideas. The flower and leaves have also been coloured, they were done with Dylusions Ink Spray.

The sponsor this month is a new to Frosted Designs it is Moments of Tranquility. Cannot wait to see what is created.

Thank you for coming past, Happy Creating.

Scrapbooking Classes

I have always wondered how to create a layout and thought to myself I could never do that, well i was wrong. I posted about layout that I created all by myself thanks to the classes that I have done. http://deezignerpapercraft.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/cheeky-cute-adorable.html This is the link if you would like to have a look at that particular post.

I began my scrapbooking journey, which I am loving, at Create On Ormond where I have attended many different classes since November 2011. They have included technique and mixed media classes where I have had the chance to use and buy many different products and made new friends along the way.

Create On Ormond arranged for Leonie from Leonie's Life to teach some classes. I attended 6 in total but I only have 4 layouts to share. The other 2 layouts I am not happy with what I did and have not finished. I am planning on exploring the techniques I learnt a lot more.

Embossing

Embossing can be done two ways dry embossing or heat embossing, which one would you choose?  Both are fun to play with but I ran with an idea that i pictured in my head only at the beginning of the week. I was walking a very tight timeline knowing that it needed to be completed for the challenge this week at Frosted Designs.


The 3 folders that I used were Tim Holtz Alterations: Texture Fades - Rays and Retro Circles and Spellbinders M-Bossabilities - Reversible Embossing Folders: Bricks & Bark.

Please visit the Frosted Designs blog,  you will find many wonderful inspiration projects by the talented design team.

Happy Creating

Celebrations and Fussy Cutting

Celebrations and Fussy Cuttings is the challenge. I worked on a medium that I had not worked on before, a tag.



I love the colours, I know it is a stange colour combination but it just all seemed to want to go together.
