Hi everyone, I hope you had a great week!  This is a special post today, I am auditioning for the Graphic 45 2014 Design Team.  It would be an absolute dream and privilege to be part of Graphic 45.  I have loved their designs and graphics ever since their first release.  Most of you that know me know that I love anything vintage.  So, grab a cup of coffee and have a seat this is going to be a much longer post than normal, enjoy! This first project was done with one of their newest collections called Botanical Tea, I love the colors.  This is a rather large piece and there's plenty of room for lots of storage in both compartments. I love detail work and fussy cutting. Now this next project was done with another new collection called By The Sea.  This project is very functionable as well, it can hold all kinds of little trinkets and treasures.  Here are some close-up photos of all the fussy cutting and layering. This was a card I made using the Botanical Tea collection.  Love the Graphic 45 metal staple pieces, they always add so much to a project. I made some fun tags using By The Sea. I love charms and baubles hanging off the tags and mini books that I make so, for this particular one I ended up using some of the paper from the collection and making my own charms. This is a scrapbook page from their Oriental collection called Bird Song.  Again lots of fussy cutting and I love Glossy Accent so Í accented many areas on this layout. My final two projects that I'm sharing are a couple of mini books that I made to teach and I just really liked the collections.  This first one is from the collection French Country, gorgeous artwork but I think I say that with every collection.  This last project was from their Halloween collection Steampunk Spells. I hope you have enjoyed all of my projects.  So wish me luck, cross your fingers... it would be an absolute dream to be a part of Graphic 45 Design Team.  Thanks for looking!

Here are the last two cards made with graphic 45 A ladies Diary with a bit of baby to bride and le romantique mixed in there too I think. I have done these last two as double easel cards - my favourite card shape when using graphic 45 paper, and the best bit is they…

Howard Finster was fixing a bicycle in his Summerville, Georgia, workshop one day when a smudge of paint on his index finger took the shape of a face, a face that spoke to him and told him, “Paint sacred art.” Finster, then in his sixties, had been many things in his life: a teenage tent-revival …

This was an easy card to make. I love the look of the frayed edges. There is a lot of purple but there are many different shades. The flowers were a last minute thing. I messed up on those edges and needed some camaflouge. Now you know my secret.

Deep sleeps the Winter Cold, wet, and grey; Surely all the world is dead; Spring is far away. Wait! the world shall waken; It is not dead, for lo, The Fair Maids of February Stand in the snow! Poem (and painting this figurine is based off) by Cicely Mark Barker (1895-1973)
