Hello Marvelous Crafters!
A very happy Friday to you! Today is going to be super fun and fantastic! We've got this week's blog prize winner to announce, gorgeous craft inspiration by the amazing Tammy Roberts, as well as some updates for our Design Team call! Lots to do and lots to see. So lets get started!
First thing's first, prizes! This week we asked you to leave us a comment on Monday's blog telling us about someone or something that you love. We received so many beautiful responses, it was amazing. I wish I could give a prize to each and every one of you who shared your thoughts with us. But alas, we have but one prize to give. This week's random winner is Layne Mikoda. Here is what Layne had to say about her source of love.
"Above all, when I read your question, it was my husband who came to mind first ... the greatest gift the Universe ever gave me! This Valentine's is being spent alone but not entirely by choice as it was when I was happily single... My husband left Sat evening - my birthday, btw - to work on the opposite side of the country for the next year while I stay home... *sigh* On the upside? Another excuse to make more cards to send to him!!! *JOY* And the newest papers are FAN-freakin'-TASTIC!! The other loves who sprang to mind are my to-die-for ADORABLE niece & nephew... already working on cards for them with the new Le Cirque papers!!! With Gratitude, Layne PS Love G45 too!! ;)"
Big congratulations Layne! Please email us at info@g45papers.com to claim your prize. And many thanks to everyone who sent us comments this week. Your words are always a huge source of inspiration for us. Thank you for being such lovely people! There will of course be another chance to win a prize on Monday so stay tuned!
Okay, lets get to the crafting! Today we're featuring the stunning work of Tammy Roberts. These crafts are so pretty, its kind of unbelievable. Have a look at this gorgeous layout!

Many thanks to Tammy Roberts for her beautiful work! I love how she mixed and matched our papers. Just goes to show you how well our papers blend together to create something amazing!
One last announcement for today. We've been getting a few questions about our 2011 Design Team auditions. Primarily we just want to clarify that if you are submitting your work to us, be sure to make a page on your blog that is just your submissions for the Graphic 45 Design Team call. One page that displays all the work you are submitting for your audition. Please don't send just a link to your blog. While your work may be splendid, it's much easier for us to get a sense of what you can do with our papers if we can see your submissions on one single blog page. You can then email us the link to your blog that has all your G45 work submissions on display. If you didn't do this and have already submitted your work, don't worry about it. You wont be disqualified. We just wanted to make it more clear for those who have yet to send in their work.
Okay, that's all for today! Thank you all so much for stopping by. We'll have more amazingly fun goodies for you all next week. We hope to see you again very soon. Have a wonderful, safe, and creative weekend!
Happy Happy!
