A Peek Into My Stamping Room

Graphic45 Design Team Audition 2015

Hello friends!  I was so very excited to see that it was that time of year again....time to submit projects to be considered for the Graphic 45 design team.  I think if you are a regular reader of my blog, you know that I love and use Graphic 45 papers for my personal projects alot!  I really love the vintage colors, images and designs of their papers.  It would be a dream come true to make the Graphic 45 design team!   Well here are just a few of my favorite projects  for my audition!

A French Country Wall Hanging using my handmade sunflowers!

Here is a close-up!  I used a clear Wink of Stella pen on all the flower petals to give them a shimmer!

Here is a vintage scrapbook page I created using a vintage image of a beautiful lady!  I created the roses using the Botanical Rose dies from Heartfelt Creations and the Bitty Blossoms die from Spellbinders!

Here are a few close-ups!

Here is a Mother's Day card I created using the Time To Celebrate 8x8 paper pad.  I love the color combos of this collection!

Everyday Cards!

Hey Friends!  Hope you are having a great week!  Here in Missouri where I live, its cold and gloomy but I am enjoying the cooler weather and the beautiful leaves that fall brings.  Today I have a couple of everyday cards to share with you.  I have a box that sits in my crafty room that my family knows has cards in it for their use.  It was getting very empty so the other day I sat down and started making some cards to put in our card box.  Here are two of them!

For this card, I used the Authentique Natural collection and a stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs.  This was a super simple card.  The only thing that took alot of time was die cutting the square!

This card was made using the Graphic45 Bohemian Bazaar 8x8 paper pad.  Everything on the card except for the key and seam binding is from this 8x8 paper pad.  How easy is that?

Graphic45 French Country Cards

Hello Friends!  Today I have a couple of cards to share with you that I made using the Graphic45 French Country 8x8 paper pad that I got at Scraptownlady.  While I have tons of 6x6 paper pad, I have to say that I prefer the extra inches that the 8x8 pad gives you!  I got out my box of scraps to make this card because it is overflowing!  Don't you hate to throw away cardstock?  I know I do!  So here are my cards!

Here is another view.......

The base of this card was created using the Grands Labels 23 die template and it was just sitting in my scrap box waiting for me to make it into a card!  LOL  I think the cardstock is actually from Stampin' Up! but I think this color is retired!  I stamped the "thankful" sentiment (The Rubber Cafe') onto a scrap of ivory cardstock using Rich Cocoa Memento Ink and hand cut it into a banner.  Even the ribbon is retired but it is very beautiful with these papers!

Here is my second card!

Here is another view of this card.......

As you can see I used the Graphic45 French Country 8x8 paper pad for everything on this card.  It even had a little card I cut out that said Good Luck!  Perfect for the person I am sending it too!  Hope you having a great week!  Looking forward to this weekend because it's Homecoming.  My middle daughter is a senior this year so its her last Homecoming dance.  Bittersweet for me but she is very excited!  Talk to you soon!
