A Quiet Moment

Hello everyone!!!

I know it has been a long time since I had a few minutes to stop by and say hi.  But, I have a rare quiet moment so I thought I would do just that.  

I have been creating and figured I had better share a few of my creations with you - sorry for being lax over the past few months.

Here is a walkthrough of my Graphic 45 Christmas Time house and coordinating mini album.  I love this collection and will have a tutorial for the house in the next few days so watch for it.  The mini album tutorial will be posted in the future.

For the past 4 years I have thought about trying to become a Graphic 45 Brand Ambassador.  So, in the absolute busiest time of the year me - tax season- I am going to give it a shot.  Wish me luck.

Just a quick note, to say I haven't forgotten about you.  Thank you for hanging in here with me and remember to create like crazy and cut with wild abandon.

Garden Wagon and Mini Album

Hello everyone.  Here is the video walkthrough of my latest  design team project for Ephemorie Digital Designs.  Hope you enjoy it.  I used the Tranquil Cottage collection to create the adorable little wagon and  mini album.  The front of the mini album hosts one of the Nested Folders stuffed with elements from the ephemera set. The album is full of interactive pages and tuck spots. I also turned the nested folders into little booklets complete with journaling spots and altered paperclips. To alter the paperclips I used various elements from the ephemera sampler and backed them with sheets from Tranquil Cottage #1 and #2 as to eliminate any white paper showing.

Love Notes

Hello everyone!!!

I just wanted to share a few pictures of the anniversary present I made my husband - we have been together 32 years and simply put I love that boy.  I was very touched when my husband shared pictures of his gift on Facebook - the comments and outpouring from everyone have been amazing.

For this project I used a Graphic 45 Travel Journal, the Graphic 45 Love Notes collection, the Love Notes solids and patterns as well as the journaling cards, chipboard and stickers.  All of this was transformed into the anniversary present below, full of love notes, memories and our story over the last 32 years.  I hope you enjoy it.

This is our story - more than 60 pages of why I love my husband and our incredible journey together.

When my husband posted this on Facebook he stated that it made him cry.  He never ceases to amaze me.
 

When you have no plan...

As many of you know, I like to create with just a vague plan - that way I am always surprised in how things turn out.  For this project all I have decided on is the paper.  I am using Graphic 45's A Perfect Gentleman Deluxe Collectors Edition.  After that sky is the limit. 

So what does it mean to start a project with no plan?  Often it can mean cutting, scoring, recutting and so on.  Is this how things have started with this project?  You bet and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Here is a glimpse at the beginning.  I will post more as the project progresses.

Unveiling....

Good morning everyone!!!  Just a quick update to my last post showing the travel album and steamer trunk I built using Graphic 45 City Scapes and Tropical Travelogue collections. 
Well, I can now share with you that they are in their new home - with the beautiful bride-to-be Brittany.  Her sister threw her a travel themed shower so I thought these would be more than fitting - I must say Brit loved them!!!

So glad she liked them - I certainly enjoyed making them!!!

Hello everyone here is the start of my latest project using a Graphic 45 Square tag and pocket album as well as the Tropical Travelogue, City Scapes and Penny's Paper Dolls Family collections.  I decided to change things up, turn the album into a suitcase and build a little steamer trunk to go with it.

This was a very fun project.  The only plan I had was the products I was using, after that, it was simply whatever my creative brain came up with.  I must say I have the most fun when I just start sticking stuff down and just let the process happen.  One of these days I may plan a project out start to finish....or not...

So here is a quick video of the finished project - I hope you enjoy it.  I look forward to seeing your comments.  Happy crafting!!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!! I certainly hope you get spend some time today crafting!!! As many of you know - I have decided to build a series of mini albums for Christmas.  These will be brought out each Christmas and hold all of our treasured memories.  The first one I did was the Graphic 45 St. Nicholas album which I featured in an earlier post.  This is my second addition - using Carta Bella's Santa's Workshop collection. 

I hope you enjoy the video.  My plans this year are to include tutorials for the items I create.  Stay tuned, sit back and enjoy.

Wow it is hard to believe it has been a month since my last post.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year eveyone.  Today, I am sharing with you a desk calendar I built for my brother for Christmas.  I used Graphic 45 Good Ol' Sport.  This gift came together quick and I am very pleased with how it turned out.  Hope you enjoy the show - although the December picture did not work out - the rest is here to see.

St. Nicholas Mini Album

Here is a video of the mini album I made using Graphic 45's St. Nicholas collection.  I love this collection it has a great Santa face (most important) and just lends itself to soooo many things.  I am working on an assortment of Christmas albums that will become part of my yearly Christmas decorations.  Hope you enjoy - I loved making this.
