Contest Tuesday and Holiday Craft Ideas By Jane Tragenza

Hello Crafters!

We hope you are all settling back into your daily routines after a great Thanksgiving. We are excited about the terrific holiday craft ideas that have been rolling in recently. We're thrilled to have such a talented design team as well as all of you out there who continue to share your spirited ideas with us. I'm very excited to begin one of my holiday projects of making a handmade ornament for my friends and family. As I was decorating my Christmas tree this week I realized that none of my ornaments had been purchased after 1989.  So, I thought it might be time to get some new decorations in the mix. Which brings us to the topic of this week's contest. Tell us one of your favorite holiday rituals, whether its trimming the tree, lighting the candles, shopping for gifts, planning a scrumptious holiday meal, spending time with loved ones, or anything else that brings you glad tidings. Tell us what makes you most happy during the holidays. A random winner will be chosen and announced on Friday. This week's prize consists of one 12x12 and 8x8 Graphic 45 Paper Pad, some gorgeous Graphic 45 embellishments, and a Fiskars large lever punch (a $50 prize value). Share some holiday cheer and enter for your chance to win!

Speaking of holiday cheer, today we're featuring a beautiful Christmas layout by Jane Tragenza. Here is what Jane had to say about this exquisette LO. "I wanted to do something to reminded me what  Christmas is really about, rather than  the commercialisation  of Christmas. I decided to do a layout to hang in the home with a Christmas prayer on it. Hopefully this will touch you as it did me, to reminded us what is really important at this time of the year." Her layout features a "A Christmas Prayer" by Robert Lois Stevenson.

"I cut the Holiday Spirit paper following the border printed on it (I did cut around the bells and ribbons!). I reinforced the frame with cardboard and put foam tape on the back and attached it to my base. The second frame I made using the back of Victorian Greetings and put it on top on the other frame with foam tape between them.  I used one of the Christmas Past frames to mat my prayer. From the left over bits of the Holiday Spirit I cut the Lady out, which I used in the top right hand corner. I cut the two girls out of Ode to joy and remove their wings (not a big fan of angles with wings-sorry!). The tree was quite easy to make and I will put instructions on my blog for anybody wanting to make it. Add a vine and some glitter and tuck everything in and your finished." -Jane Tragenza

The Gamut of Goddess: Domestic Goddess Creations by Christie Bryant

Hello Fantastic Crafters,

We hope you all had a lovely and restful Thanksgiving holiday. I was so excited to start decorating for the holidays that I went right out and bought a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. I went full on with the decorating and spent most of the afternoon trimming the tree, sipping hot chocolate and listening to orchestral Christmas music. I'm a firm believer that decorating and crafting go hand in hand. Both require an artistic sense of curiosity and playfulness. Both are relaxing and productive ways to spend time. And there's nothing quite like having something beautiful and unique to show for all your efforts. In my case, a beauitful Christmas tree was a reward all its own. Next step is to create some terrific craft gifts to put under the tree! 

Speaking of holiday crafting project, we wanted to remind you all that there's only a couple of days left to enter our November Challenge.  We're challenging your savvy minds to create an advent calendar or a 2011 month to month calendar utilizing at least 50% Graphic 45 product. Really, that's the only rule so let your imagination run wild! The winner will be chosen at random and will be announced on Wednesday, December 1st. The prize will be a bountiful collection of Graphic 45 product, including our brand new "Once Upon a Springtime" collection 12x12 and 8x8 paper pads. That's $100 worth of beautiful Graphic 45 paper! Post your calendar on the Graphic 45 Facebook Fan Club and you'll be entered for a chance to win.

Today's craft inspiration comes to us from Christie Bryant. Christie is a member of our design team and she's got some gorgeous crafts that you're sure to love. Using our Domestic Goddess collection, Christie created a series of charming tags with beautiful textures and delicate colors. These would make perfect little gifts, or as home decor. Take a look at these stunning creations.

This sweet little tag book is beyond adorable with stunning and virabt textures. It's all about placement and subtlety. When using Graphic 45 papers, it's very easy to get super excited by all the fabulous choices and want to use everything in abundance. Christie's work is so terrific because she really knows how to let the papers shine, while also adding a uniqueness that's all her own. These tags are perfect examples of a beauty and balance.

Many thanks to Christie for her amazing work!

We hope you all have a terrific Monday! Stay warm and keep those creations coming!

A Touch of France: The Stunning Work of Fabien

Good Day to you in Craft Land!

I am so excited about today's featured artist. We came across his work randomly one day and were so thrilled with the high caliber of his projects. Meet Fabien, he is 38 years old and lives in the east of France. Fabien has been scrapbooking since 2005 and his work is beyond beautiful. Fabien combines an exquisite eye for detail, texture and form with a masculine style that can sometimes be rare in the crafting world. Crafting began for Fabien, as it did for a lot of us, as a retreat from the stress of daily life. He had held a longtime interest in beautiful papers, and bookbinding and he found that scrapbooking was a happy middle-ground for his creative passions. When he isn't scrapbooking, Fabien works in the hospitality industry, training restaurant and hotel staff. He regularly posts new work on his blog so be sure to check it out! Here is what he had to say about his love for scrapbooking:

"I've been practising scrapbooking for 5 years and i love the "vintage style" as much as the "clean and simple" style. Graphic 45 papers are suitable for both. Indeed, initially these papers attracted me to make albums of memories about my family and my ancestors. But little by little,  I use them for many different projects." -Fabien

Here is a beautiful mini album that Fabien created with our Communique collection.

58744212_p

Here we have another gorgeous mini album by Fabien where he used our Botanicabella and Times Nouveau collections.

58531513_p

58531708_p

58532172_p

I especially love the way that Fabien uses the exposed textures of the cardboard as part of this mini album. It gives it even more of a "weathered by time" look. Very beautiful! But wait, there's more! Here is another gorgeous mini album that Fabien created using our Botanicabella collection.

I sincerely admire how Fabien uses these very old family photos in conjunction with our vintage-inspired papers. They work so seamlessly together. I can think of no better way to care for these cherished moments from long ago. You can see more of Fabien's beautiful work on his blog. He has so many stunning projects. It is well worth checking out.

Many thanks to Fabien for his amazing talents and for letting us share it with all of you. We hope he has brought some inspiration to your day.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Speaking of inspiration, today we are featuring the fantastic work of Tracey Locher. Tracey is one of our amazing Design Team members and she's got some stunning projects today that are sure to impress. First up is a festive holiday card that Tracey made using our Deluxe Edition Christmas Past collection. Oh, so lovely!

Tracey - Nov 2010 - Santa Card 2

“Card design has always been tough for me, which is why I just love Graphic 45’s tags!  The Christmas Past Tag Set is full of so many beautiful designs that would be perfect as the highlight of your Christmas cards!  Simply choose your favorite tag (or tags in the case of my sample), mat it with another gorgeous Christmas Past paper, add some bling, buttons, or flowers, a bit of trim and there you have it!  I used foam adhesive to help make the tags “pop” and I used a border punch to create the top and bottom of the card.” -Tracey Locher

Supplies List:

Deluxe Edition Christmas Past:
“The Holly and The Ivy,”  “Glad Tidings,”  “Ode to Joy,”  “Tag Set”
Making Memories Crystal Brads
Open Stock trim
Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Here we have an oh-so-pretty layout that Tracey created for Homecoming. There are so many sweet, delicate details to this LO! Tracey utilized out Le'Romantique collection as well as Graphic 45 Staples to create this little treasure.

  Tracey - Nov 2010 - Homecoming 1

Tracey - Nov 2010 - Homecoming 3

“Yes, the pictures on this layout look a bit different than normal.  Can you tell what I did?  It is a technique that I love and I use on special layouts.  I printed these photos directly onto Bazzill textured cardstock.  This technique gives the photos a very mat finish and the texture of the paper makes the photos look like they are actually on canvas… the cool look of canvas at a budget price!  I then matted the photos on the new Core’dinations Graphic 45 Timeless Collection Cardstock… talk about texture on texture!  I sanded the cardstock which really makes it come to life!  To help with the staggered layers of the photos, I backed each photo mat with chipboard, then adhered the photos with different sizes of foam adhesive.  Distress… ink… Graphic 45 flowers and buttons… the green accent flowers and a few trinkets and this layout is done!” -Tracey

Supplies List:

Graphic 45 Le’ Romantique Collection – “Key to My Heart,”  “Well Groomed,”  “Tag Set”
Graphic 45 Staples Collection – “Flower Staples,”  “Chipboard Button Staples”
Core’dinations ColorCore Cardstock – Graphic 45 Timeless Collection
Bazzill Cardstock

Tim Holtz -  Distress Ink and Trinket Pins
Maya Road – Trinket Pins (Crystals)
Jolee’s Boutique – Vintage Gems
K&Company – Keys Metal Art
Melissa Frances – Vintage Keyholes

Here we have another adorablely beautiful layout by Tracey. She used our Hallowe'en In Wonderland paper as well as our Times Nouveau Alphabet paper. This is a great example of how easy it is to mix and match our papers seemlessly. Wonderful job, Tracey!

Tracey - Nov 2010 - Abbys Pumpkins 1

Tracey - Nov 2010 - Abbys Pumpkins 2

“When you have a photo that is as special and perfect to you (as this one of my puppy, Abby, is to me), you have to let it rule your layout.  Use an over sized photo and limit your embellishments so that there is no doubt that your photo takes center stage.  I pulled in some of my favorite “Hallowe’en in Wonderland” papers, “Times Nouveau” Die Cut Alphas, and new Core’dinations Graphic 45 Timeless Collection ColorCore Cardstock for this simple and fun layout.  I also added some foam adhesive and Pop Dots to be sure the layers of this layout “popped!” -Tracey

Supplies List

Graphic 45 Hallowe’en in Wonderland Collection – “Wonderland Classifieds,”  “Jabberwocky,”  “Hallowe’en In Wonderland Borders”

Autumn Spectacular 12x12 Layout

  Gloria-Fall-LO2

"Fall is my favorite season. However, I currently live in San Diego and there is not much in the way of "fall color" here. I created this layout to celebrate some of the unique colors of fall in Southern California. The Graphic45 Steampunk and Renaissance Faire papers were perfect for my project. Most things stay green year-round here on the southern CA coast. I have noticed, after five years, that things do change color, they just don't change into the golds, reds, and oranges of my east coast childhood. Many times they turn purple, pink, or deep green. Southern California is spectacular, in it's own way." -Gloria Stengel

I decorated the tag with Graphic45 papers and some other embellishments. I added some hand dyed wrinkle ribbon to enhance the vintage charm." -Gloria

Prize Friday Big Winner!

Hello Fabulous Crafters!

We're ready to announce the winner of this week's contest! We asked you to leave us a comment on our blog about your favorite Thanksgiving dish. There were so many scrumptious ideas that we had to leave it up to our trusty random number generator to choose our big winner. Thanks to everyone who left a comment! Hopefully it inspired some delicious dishes at your holiday table.

This week's winner is Ava Cottagerca! Here is what Ava had to say about her favorite Thanksgiving dish. "My favorite is called "Honey Cake." I am sure it has other names also. You can fast track the recipe by using graham crackers rather than make a cake dough from scratch. The filling is cooked creme of wheat. Great chocolate icing. Takes forever to make, well worth the wait. 3 layers of creme of wheat, a slab the size of a cookie sheet. Devine!!!" 

Yum! Ava, please contact us at info@g45papers.com to claim your prize. And happy cooking and/or baking to all of you this Thanksgiving!
