Traci Shares a Christmas Mini!

Friday, November 29, 2013

Hi Frosted Fans!  I'm happy to be hosting the blog today and have a sweet little Christmas project to share with you.  If you follow my blog, you know that I'm crazy about mini albums.  So when I saw the Echo Park Reflections Christmas collection in the Frosted Designs store, I knew I wanted to create a mini with it.

I used the 6x6 paper pad, the stickers from the 12x12 collection pack, a few sheets of cardstock, and the adorable brads that match this collection.
I also used foam tape on some of the stickers to give the pages a little dimension, and added the photo mats to make adding pictures easy after the holidays. I just love the traditional colors and the vintage feel of these papers.   Thanks for letting me share this project with you today!

Halloween Inspiration with Traci!

Wednesday, October 30, 2013

Hi Frosted friends!  
Today it's my turn to share a little scrappy goodness with you and since tomorrow is Halloween I decided a spooky layout would be fun.  I have a Halloween album that I set out as part of my fall decorations each year.  The album starts when my boys were babies, and goes through each page showing off their costume for every year.  Now that they are 22 and 19, and don't dress up anymore, I still do a page each year dedicated to our family festivities (pumpkin carving, handing out candy, etc.)
I had lots of fun with this layout because I LOVE the colors and texture of Carta Bella's Happy Haunting collection.   I also had fun cutting out some Halloween shapes with my Silhouette.  I have a few more pictures over on my blog so I'd love for you to drop by and say hello sometime, but first be sure to visit the Frosted Designs store to check out this wonderful paper collection!



Who likes Pink Paislee?! What about Crate Paper?! Queen & Co?!! Glitz?!!! Well... if you like any of these companies, then you are going to want the November Scrapbooking Kit from Frosted Designs!!! Two more days!!! In the mean time, how about another sneak peek?!

Traci Shares a Beautiful Life Gift Box & Card

Tuesday, September 24, 2013


Happy Tuesday everyone!  I'm back this week to share another fun and easy project with you.  I'm a huge fan of Echo Park papers so when Frosted Designs decided to carry them in their new store, I was thrilled!! I love this collection called "Beautiful Life" and when I needed a quick little gift recently, this was the perfect set of papers.  I created this card and a small gift box using my silhouette machine and this cute Silhouette cutting file.

I will have a few more photos posted over on my blog today so please stop by and say hello at www.artsyalbums.com!  Traci

Traci is Absolutely Fabulous!

Wednesday, September 18, 2013




Hi everyone! I am so excited to be here at Frosted Designs with you today!  I have an easy layout idea for you, but first I thought I would tell you a little bit about me and my wonderfully crazy life!

Since I'm a "get right to the point" kind of girl, I'll just give you the highlights :)
  • I've been married to my high school sweetheart for 25 years (our 25th anniversary was yesterday)!
  • We have two fabulous sons -- ages 22 and 19
  • My oldest son is getting married in November, and my youngest just started college.
  • I've been scrapbooking since high school when I lost my mom to breast cancer.  Scrapping her photos and family memories is what got me started,  and I've been hooked ever since!
  • I own a mini album kit and page layout kit company called Artsy Albums, so I truly do scrapbook every single day and am blessed to be able to work from home.
  • We have two crazy little dogs -- a 4lb Maltese who loves to watch TV, and a toy poodle.  
  • I have one amazing sister (see layout below) and an incredibly supportive family.
My scrapbooking style tends to be clean and simple.  I love color, my electronic cutting machine, and keeping the focus on the photos.   Each of these aspects of my scrapbook personality can be seen in the layout I'm sharing with you today, and almost all of these products can be found in the wonderful Frosted Designs store. 

Thank you so much for letting me introduce myself and share a little scrappy fun with you!
