more graphic 45

yay! more graphic 45 projects! i was going to post more layouts…but then i loved them so much, that i thought i’d try and save them for possible publication…so here are a couple of altered projects. i got this cigar box from rusty pickle and the graphic 45 papers went so well with it. i loved layering the roses in the bottom corner. then of course a little dab of stickles makes them pop.
as for the washboard…i’ve had it for quite a while. i wanted to do something really special with it as it came from someone on my hubby’s side of the family. i really wanted to be able to use it. so when i saw the domestic goddess line of paper, i knew that would be perfect. i turned the wash board into a meal planner/date keeper. so we can slip our meal ideas under the magnets i made and clip up our planned events to the bottom “clothesline”. viola you have an altered washboard. i should have taken some close ups on the magnets too. they came out sooooooo cute with the dimensional glaze applied to certain items, like the juicy lemons and some of the logos. so cute, i can’t wait to hang it up.


thanks for looking. if you are coming over to see the graphic 45 stuff and you too have submitted...good luck:) can't wait for friday...or maybe i can...lol

a new paper adventure

here i go…on another paper crafting adventure:) a little more than a week ago i headed over to one of my favorite paper companies web sites… and what did i find? i found that graphic 45 is having a design team call. so i stocked up on my papers and got started. i still have a couple of projects to go (and only a couple of days left…yikes!) so i had better get crackin! here are a couple of layouts i did with some amazing paper. you should definitely check out the graphic 45 web site to see what beautiful things they have if you are not familiar. you will love everything you see:)

time flystime

i hope you like the layouts. i will post more of my entries tomorrow. there are some wonderfully talented ladies trying out for the design team, so wish me luck:)
