Bride2Baby Wedding Cake and Mini Album for #G45Party

I completed this project for the May Graphic 45 Challenge, #G45Party. I decided to design a wedding cake and mini album centerpiece.  I had a great time putting this project together and using the beautiful paper and elements from the collection. The design turned out just as I had imagined it.  The inspiration came from my sister Mary’s professional cake decorating career. She had made so many beautiful wedding cakes over the years, so I had to make a wedding cake as a paper project.

It is the first time using the Liquitex Modeling Paste, which amazingly fun and easy to work with!

Graphic 45 “Time to Flourish” Mini Folder Set

May 3, 2018

Just completed a project I designed using Graphic 45 Time to Flourish 12×12 double-sided paper collection.

Yet again, this is another truly beautiful paper collection by Graphic 45. Each sheet of paper in the collection has a different monthly theme.

I was able to design what I am calling “mini folders” for this project. However, there are other ways to use the folders. They can be used as individual birthday greeting cards, monthly journals, or an annual calendar in album format.

The folders have pockets, one with a magnet closure, photo mats/tags, and cut-a-parts from the paper collection.

Julie Nutting “French Flea Market” Flip Album

I recently created this project using Photo Play Paper Company’s designer collection by Julie Nutting. I fell in love with this paper collection at a Scrap N Create retreat this past March.

Using a 99¢ IKEA photo display frame, I attached the pages with some rose gold jewelry wire I had in my jewelry making supplies. I added a few more elements from my crafting supplies to finish off the project.

This was a quick project and fun to put together. You can watch a video of this project on my YouTube channel.


Graphic 45 “Seasons” Boxed Mini Album Set

I fell in love with the “Seasons” paper collection from Graphic45 while attending the Scrap N Create retreat I mentioned previously in the Julie Nutting Flip Album post. I purchased everything that Julie and Daphne had available for the Seasons collection during the retreat. I knew I had to make something with this collection. The papers were so colorful and beautiful.

Normally, I stick to black, kraft, or vintage looking prints and colors. However, this collection drew me out of my comfort zone.

The wooden boxes I used came from Target about three years ago. The boxes were in the dollar section of the store, and I purchased them for $3.00 each. The boxes were a perfect match for the 4X6 mini albums.

NOTE: I am not sure, as of this post, if Target still sells the boxes.
