April Showers...Graphic 45 Tag

April Showers bring May flowers, but lucky you I've got some April flowers to share with you today.  This tag is from the Graphic 45's collection " Time to Flourish" and it's the April pages.  This tag is layered with their papers, fussy cutting, chipboard, staples, flowers and even some handmade paper pleated ruffles. Lots of little details help create this beautiful spring tag.

 

 

Ginger has some beautiful "Home Sweet Home" tags on the Graphic 45 blog today too...so be sure to go see what she has in store for you. 

Flower Cart Fun with Graphic 45

 

Today's project is one that takes one of Graphic 45 ATC Boxes and makes it into something totally new...a flower cart.  I used the "Time to Flourish" collection from Graphic 45, the August pages.  I just love the bright cheery sunflowers and thought they would look great on the side of the flower cart. 

 

This was fairly easy to make and you can find complete step by step directions on Snapguide.

Did you Meet My Friend? With Graphic 45

Last week I was spotlight featured on Paper Crafter's Library, were you able to see it?  I wanted to be sure if you didn't get over there you got to meet my new friend.  I created this adorable snowman using Time To Flourish by Graphic 45 and I'm in LOVE!!!! It's really time to put him away for the season but I think he may just stay out on my display shelves. 

 I molded his head from paper clay over a Styrofoam ball and the painted and of course, glittered.  He is a snowman after all.  He is sitting atop a matchbox from Graphic 45 and adorned with G45 embellishments and paper. 

 

 

 

The only problem with my snowman friend was he didn't exactly cooperate on the picture taking.....little monkey was hard to get shots of, LOL. 

 

Have a great weekend and I'll see you all next week.
