Frosted Designs Sketch w/Twist Challenge Take Note

Hi everyone,I hope you have had
a wonderful week and are ready for the weekend!

It is my turn to host the challenge over

at Frosted Designs!

This month we have a fabulous sketch with a twist.

The sketch has been provided by Lisa Hidy, my wonderful

team mate!! Love it!!!

~AND~

The TWIST is to use BUTTONS AND BLING on your layout.

You gotta use both!

Here is a look at my take on the sketch

My papers are Pebbles, Inc., and I have also used Dusty Attic & UmWow chippies,

Wendi Vecchi Stamps, Memories Mist spray ink, Heidi Swapp Stencil,

I used bling under my title and the arrow on the right to call attention to my photo.
My buttons are little, tiny ones on the corner of my kraft tag under the photos.
I did a lot of misting, stenciling, painting, stamping, etc on my background.

Soooo,, if you haven't ordered a whole bunch of the Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals Sets- you should hop right over to the Frosted Designs Store and do that. Because these things are AWESOME. For this look, I traced a stencil, then mixed a little bit of water with the Magicals powder and painted right on the paper.

A-maz-ing! (you have to sing that!)

For the flowers I stamped with Wendi Vecchi's new stamps (love them!) and
colored with Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals. I mixed the dry powder with a small amount
of water, then painted like watercolor.

Here you can see my Buttons & bling- I love these little, tiny buttons!
I used Sparkle N Sprinkle Tuscan Sun EP on my title chippie.

My DD2 and the two other cuties in the photos were Camp Counselors at
Girl Scout camp for YEARS! They are great friends- with the strangest Camp Names :o)

You have until March 27th to link up your entry over on the blog.
So be sure to join in the fun!

The Deconstucted Layout #1

Howdy everyone in blog land!

It is day #13 of The Caribbean Crawl 2014

and today we are in Antigua. We have hired a private yacht to

tour us around to a few islands so we are with a very small party the

next few days.

Today is the very first in a new series I will be doing for Frosted Designs

Have you ever seen a layout and went,,

"I wonder how they made that?"

The Deconstructed Layout will feature a tutorial on one element of a layout,

showing step outs on how that one element was done.

Here is the first layout with tutorial,,

Now,, who has ever seen Anita make a layout with a plain sheet of white cardstock as the base???

Anybody??? Nope- I don't think I have ever done it before.

The little bit of pattern paper I used is from the Shades of Spring Kit

flowers are Prima, Stamps are Wendi Vecchi, and chipboard is Dusty Attic.

To make the awesome bricks below my photo, I started with Molding Paste and a stencil.

When that was dry, I inked the paste straight from the ink pads using

the Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink from the Shades of Spring Kit.

Next I sprinkled dry powder from Lindy's Stamp Gang- Industrial Chic Magicals Set

right on top using a dry paintbrush. VERY LITTLE powder is needed. I then spritzed with

water to get the color to show up. Super cool- huh?

Then I cut the individual bricks out and glued them down. I used a brush marker to outline them.

How did I get them so straight? Well,,,, I am so glad you asked.

I almost never use washi tape on layouts- but I use it ALL THE TIME

for holding things in place, marking my place, and for marking locations on layouts.

If you look at this photo, then the top photo- you can see how much difference the

black outline on the bricks helps- it really makes them pop!

Thanks so much for stopping by today to see me!

Roomies- Frosted Designs Season Of Stars Kit

Good morning everyone in blogland!
Today is day #11 of The Caribbean Crawl and I am in St. Croix today
doing some shopping and some snorkeling!
My favorite kind of day!

I have a layout to share with you using the Season of Stars Kit from

Frosted Designs Online Store

Here is a look at my project

Soooo, it is pretty rare that I make a layout with this much white space on it!

I have had this sketch saved in my ideas folder for YEARS and I am just

now getting around to using it!

I inked the chippies with a sand color ink, then highlighted the edges
with the white pen and faux stitching.

Love these little journal cards that were included in the kit!
My background stamp is Wendy Vecchi.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Have a wonderful week
