Graphic 45 Farewell for Now!

Today is a sad day for me, as I say goodbye to being a Design Team member for Graphic 45. I still consider myself part of their family, so they aren't going to get rid of me easily, lol! It has been an amazing journey and I feel so honored and privileged to have been a part of this amazing company and group of talented ladies and gents.

I am not really saying goodbye, just "see you real soon"!

I will continue creating with this company's amazing and unique papers and can't wait to share more projects and tutorials in the near future!

Thank you, Graphic 45 and all my wonderful teamies, for this amazing experience! Good luck to all who continue on the team and best of luck to all the new, super talented team members joining! 

Here is a look back of a few projects I made during my G45 DT journey:

World's Fair Inspirational Card with Tutorial

Happy Monday I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend :) It has been pretty gloomy here, so I am happy to share my bright and cheerful card today to help chase away the gloom. 


I am not usually a fan of orange, but I can’t seem to get enough of the fun, colorful and inspirational vibe of World’s Fair! I thought I would make a card, so that when a friend needed a pick me up, I would have the perfect card at the ready. I embraced the orange and even threw on a large orange flower for good measure. I’m in love!

Tip: Sometimes it’s fun and striking to cluster elements in one concentrated area leaving a lot of “white space” on the rest of the card.

Enchanting Mini Album using Graphic 45 Enchanted Forest

Hello and welcome as always! I had made a boxed album base using my Boxed Album Cover and Stand Tutorial a while back and wasn’t sure where I wanted to go with it. The beautiful jewel tones of Enchanted Forest were perfect for my ‘royal’ boxed album. I love adding feet to really make it look like a trinket box from the outside, so it’s a fun surprise to find a mini album inside to store memories in photographs. The ATC Policy envelopes make the perfect storage for ticket stubs, extra photos, notes or any other small memorabilia you may want to add.

If you like you can check out my walkthrough of my album here:








Supplies:
Kraft Cardstock
Tim Holtz Arrow Turns

I hope she likes it!
