Graphic45 Design Team Audition 2015

Well, the time is finally here! It's now or never:)

Back in the Summer of 2010, while shopping for scrapbook supplies (my second favorite hobby at the time), I came across the most unique scrapbook papers I'd ever seen. They were vintage, full of beautiful images and they were beach themed, my favorite theme and place to be. The collection was "On the Boardwalk" and the ideas and possibilities of what I would create with these papers began.

It wasn't long before I came to realize that my passion lies with the making of mini-albums and there is no more perfect fit for me and my style than Graphic45. As I was thinking about which of my albums to include in this audition, I was a little surprised to see just how many I've made and all of the different collections over the years . Of course, I have my favorites, but I've decided to include all of them as I think each one deserves a place and helps show a progression of my skills, love of the craft and love of this company's very special product.

I would love this opportunity and thank you for the consideration:)

6x6 "One Love" Mini-album and PDF Tutorial







Hi! I'm back again with a new 6x6 mini-album to share using Prima's "Stationer's Desk". I purchased these 6x6 paper pads about 6 months ago with every intention of using them in a mini right around Valentine's day and guess what?!  I actually followed through with the plan!

This was a fun little album to make and I think will work up pretty quickly, especially if you've ever worked with any of my tutorials previously. It's got 10 new page designs, but I worked in some of the larger flaps and swing tabs that I've used in some of the 8x8 albums for a lot of space for larger photos.

I hope to squeeze in a little time later on this Spring and Summer to revisit this one again with different themes. I think the pages will work well with just about any of the 6x6 paper pads out there, so be looking for some videos of remakes of this one in the near future:)

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new G45 Artisan Style collection! This will be next and I'm listening to requests and I've heard many saying BABY...

 A link to the PDF tutorial of this mini in my Etsy shop is HERE.

Hope you all have a great week and I'll be back in just a few weeks or so with Artisan Style!
