Artisan Style Album and Tutorial Info









Here's the pics of my new album using G45's Artisan Style collection.

The video of this album can be found HERE where you can see all of the details, flaps and little hidden areas inside in action.

I've got the PDF Tutorial of this album now available in my Etsy shop HERE.

I'll be sharing a little planner I created using G45's A Ladies Diary very soon. I'll be recreating it with a tutorial most likely using one of the Prima collections as these papers are long retired.

I've finally added a Pin It mouse over button on the photos, so please feel free to pin away.

Hope you're having a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Artisan Style Teaser







Well, guys, you win some...you lose some. I was a little disappointed to see this morning that there's no G45 design team in my future, but...

I have a brand new album to share!!

This is a little teaser of my new Artisan Style album. This is the largest album I've created at 8 1/2" x 11" with 10 pages and just tons and tons of room for photos. All new page designs, lots of interactive elements and can't wait to show you the inside!

The work that I prepared for the DT audition {that never was} has set me back time wise just a bit with this new tutorial. I'm typing away at it now and should have it completed and in the shop on Monday or Tuesday of next week (April 6th or so).

I'll also be sharing a few videos of the other projects I created. One is a bit of a remake of the One Love album using the By The Sea collection and the other is a fun planner that I'll be creating a tutorial on next.

I'm changing up the look of this blog and my Etsy shop with a new logo and fresh design, so don't be alarmed if it looks completely different here in a few days.

Time for change. Time for a reset. Time to move forward and keep doing what I love with even more energy and passion!

Hope you'll stick around to see what's next...

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:)
