Golf Anyone?
Ok seriously, how cute this little golf bag that our March guest designer Ira Huberts has made for us this month? I think it is really really clever. Ira used our latest collection for the men in your life A Proper Gentleman and some papers from a previous collection Communique . I also love how she used the golfer that is part of the A Proper Gentleman collection.
Ira shared her thoughts with us about her inspiration:
Men are always a difficult subject
(not mine though, LOL!), but they
deserve some attention, too, every now and
then. When I first saw A Proper
Gentleman Sporting Aristocrat, I
immediately wanted to make a golf bag, just didn’t have
the time to do so yet. Anyway, I used both this paper, Communique Classy Correspondence
(for the golf bag itself) and Communique Typography
(for the sachets of the bag). The expression “Hole in One”
speaks for itself,
of(f) course . I wanted it to mean something like ‘good luck and keep
hitting the green’. I wanted the bag to stand, so I
cut 2 pieces for the bag and
placed harmonica pieces in between. This also makes the
card easy to fold. For the circle (symbolizes the
golf ball) I used my Cuttlebug
folder Swiss Dots. The golf clubs stick out of the
bag; I wanted it to mean “you
stick out”. This would make a nice card for
any man who loves to play golf
AND who can do with a nice compliment.
Graphic 45 has so loved seeing Ira's work this month. Her ability to make 3 dimensional objects out of paper is amazing. It has truly been an honor having her as our guest designer this month. Thank you so much Ira!!
Well, only a couple of days now until the big announcement of the new team! I hope you are all excited to see who the new girls will be. Hang on it coming soon!
Happy Scrapping Everyone!
