Altered Shadow Box : Raining Cats and Dogs Graphic 45

Today over on Graphic 45's blog you'll be able to check out various uses for the staple shadow boxes.  I really dressed mine up by mounting it on a candlestick base and painting the whole thing to flow together.   Lots of layers and the color combo make for one cute decorative piece. 

 

Do Fancy Fold Cards Scare You?

Don’t be afraid to try something new.  Sometimes in crafting we look at other peoples work that is just beautiful on Pinterest, Facebook or blogs.  It looks so detailed or complicated that we think…. “ I could never do that”.  The truth is you can.  Folded cards are one of those things that make projects look more complicated that they are, they actually are generally very simple.  Step by step tutorials are easy to find, in fact many of them you can find on Graphic 45’s blog.  They’ll walk you through how to create projects or try out new techniques.  I hope you’ll step out of your crafting comfort zone and try and new fancy fold card today.

Now head over to Graphic 45's blog and check out Robin's beautiful Christmas card...WOWZERS!!!   

Raining Cats and Dogs ...but that's a good thing.

I'm so lucky to have my pooch, he's part of the family.  This is a frame that was supposed to house a picture of my dog, but darn I was loving all embellishments that match this line, I used up the whole frame, LOL.  Looks like I'll have to create another one to actually be graced with a picture of " MY DOG". 

Be sure to check out my team mate Keri's adorable photo wallet that show another way to use this collection.  You can check it out on Graphic 45's Blog.

Have you had a chance to see the latest collection from Graphic 45?  Raining Cats and Dogs is a sophisticated animal collection with the classic G45 vintage feel.   This is a card I created and I love the newsprint flowers...awesome. 

I used lots of layers and it works well with all the different patterns in the collection.

Raining Cats and Dogs with Hampton Art and Graphic 45

Hi Everyone...the weekend is almost here and I can't wait.  I'm going to have a long weekend of crafting and I can't wait.  Of course I'll be sharing my projects with you in the up coming days.

Today's card is one that I used stamps and paper from the Raining Cats and Dogs from Graphic 45 and Hampton Art.  It's a simple card but it really shines. 

Enjoy your weekend and I'll see you on Monday!!!!
