I think it's safe to say that I'm a Graphic 45 addcit. So, I'm most excited about this week's focus on their products. I thought I'd start with a couple of projects using my January Kit of the Month which features G45's Tropical Travelogue. The layout above is a fairly straight forward project using Hibiscus Heaven pp, Tropical Travelogue, as well as small pieces of Island Jewel, Garden Isle and Paradise Postage. The base is from Core'dinations Nostalgic collection. My white hibiscus flowers were fussy cut from the papers and the leaves were bent to look more life like. I've finished the page with some jute, Websters Bloomers, Stickles and a Prima bling I had on hand.
Next I did a quick altered project with some tags cut from the Tropical Travelogue papers and using a teal blue charger as my base. I first covered the charger with some fish net from the KOM, then added my tags, papers and photo, seashells and flowers from my stash. The photo is of one of my dd's and her hubby, so I suspect that she will be claiming this one. I plan to add a few more embellishments to this one but I was running out of daylight to take a photo of my project.
One of my all time favorite collections is Steampunk Debutante .. wow, the colors are so dynamic! There is still some Steampunk Debutante in the Flying Unicorn Store in the 8x8 size. You won't want to miss it! For this one, I fussy cut the flowers then added some dimensional florals as well. I've used a Dusty Attic lamp post as a mask and love the look. The wings and title were cut with my Cricut. I've added some Diamond dust on the tag and florals and that makes this page really sparkle!
Another one of my favorite is the Baby2Bride collection from Graphic 45! You might remember this layout that I did earlier this year using a gazebo as a mask. The tree, gazebo mask and photomat were cut with my Cricut. The butterflies were made with my Martha Stewart punch. I love the paper curls which I made to simply mimic wisteria on the gazebo. Those awesome title stickers are more Graphic 45.
Lastly, I wanted to share another layout from the Fall using the Magic of Oz collection available in the Flying Unicorn store. For this one, I simply wanted to show that this collection is not just for Halloween, The beige, black and red tones can be used in many different ways! Here I've done a simple birthday page adding some fussy cut flowers and then a doily from my stash and a Dusty Attic piece from the Flying Unicorn Store. I've used my Cherished Heart punch to make a bit of eyelet looking trim.
That's all from me today. I hope I've peaked your curiosity to check out the store for more of these great designer papers. Once you tab over to the store, you can find a Graphic 45 link on the left hand side bar. Happy browsing!
