It's beginning to look at lot like Christmas with Graphic 45

Well this layout is so precious looking at it now.  These are my Christmas pictures of the boys this past Christmas and I was so lucky to get some great shots.  Will was always such a monkey to get to photograph but I sure pulled it off on this Sunday afternoon last December.  

I can't express enough to you how important it is to take pictures and freeze those priceless moments.  Then to make them into artwork with a layout just makes it even better.  You never know when you will cherish those pictures even more than ever, so be sure to click, click, click away. 

I was able to create this layout using Graphic 45's beautiful Christmas collection A Christmas Carol.  Graphic 45 is so genius at their designs, but their colors are also so rich and beautiful.  I just love the way projects come together.

Another Day to be Enchanted with Heartfelt Creations

Today is Heartfelt Wednesday and I've got a fun and whimsy card to share with you today.  This card is created from their latest release " Enchanted Mum".  I love all the die that coordinate with the stamp sets in this collection. They are so detailed and just make intricate cuts like the die above super easy. 

Please be sure to hop over to Heartfelt's Blog and see the complete directions step by step for this card and many other projects.  It's a wealth of insurance. 

It's all Natural with Graphic 45

This has to be one of my all time favorite collections from Graphic 45, Botanicabella and it's be re-released in one of their Deluxe Collectors Editions...YUM, YUM.  Today's project is a set of card made with the same collection and in the same style but different.  The first one is a step card and I literally think the butterflies are going to fly off the page. 

My second card is an easel card one of my favorites.  They are so simple to create and really do present so well.  I used bees as the theme on this piece and I adore bee.  Did you know that bees are something that really defy nature/physics.  They truly are a little miracle and because of that fact we always used bees as a mascot for my oldest son Will.  He was certainly one that defyed nature and so for teachers gifts and what nots we would have the theme of bees many times.  Needless to say I love bees, so I love this card. 

 

Be sure to stop by Graphic 45's blog and leave some love about my projects but also check out some of the amazing work the rest of the design team has created.  I'm so blessed to work with such talented people.
