I created this binder mini book using Bo Bunny paper and Graphic 45 paper. It has a very vintage feel to it. I did a lot of embossing with Sizzix dies. A lot of stamping and cutting. I used glossy Accents to strengthen paper pieces and I even added a metal washer which i embossed with two kinds of embossing powders to give it an old metal look

This Card is made from all Graphic 45 paper. I call it a pocket card. The 3 tags come out and you can write on them. The butterfly is cut with a die and layered with black to make it stand out. The wings are loose so they have dimension

This is a beautiful mini album i did using A Ladies Diary from Graphic 45. It has hidden pockets, inserts, cards and more. It is made out of paper and glue and is very intricate. I embossed the spine with a Tim Holtz folder and added Modge Podge for strength and shine.

Graphic 45

      A little Graphic 45 fun_____

This is a project I have been thinking of for a while. And then I got an email from Graphic 45 for their DESIGN TEAM call. I was so excited. I started this project right away specifically for the call. The light bulb handle idea came to me as I was sitting there one evening in my scrapbook room, staring at my started project. I needed to replace the bulb in my lamp so I unscrewed it. The bulb was so small and cute. I didn't want to throw it away. I started wondering how to incorporate it into my project. So I cut a hole in the chipboard cover, making sure not to go to big. Sure enough it screwed right into the chipboard and it was secure. I recycled something and I loved the finished look

                                             

The finished project. After 3 days of working on it every morning and evening. I absolutely love it. I may add pictures or leave it as is. Let me know what you think.

So Much Fun Creating. This is something I've been wanting to for a long time. Scrapbook something about my favorite Country Singer, Johnny Cash. And I couldn't resist the New Bo Bunny Mamma Razzi2 line. I distressed the metal with alcohol ink, used some Tim Holtz Tissue tape and a whole lot of Modge Podge.
