Hello Crafters,
Thanks for joining us on this fun Wednesday edition of the Graphic 45 blog. We have so many amazing crafts to show you today, it's kind of overwhelming!

These first two craft gems were made by Tammy Roberts. These oh-so-pretty crafts, with their soft colors, rich textures, and detailed layers are like works of art all their own!

Oh TAMMY ~~~~~
Your first card is SO precious !!! I adore your style, as you already KNOW ! But using my FAV ribbon company with the Springtime paper, makes this, in humble opinion,....
PERFECTION! And what can I say, about your gorgeous layout?.... Ok...
I LOVE how you used the gold leaf ribbon, as the "stems" on your flowers! And how you centered it so the perfect amount of bride is peeking out on the right! GREAT freeform wired ribbon heart! This makes me "melt" Thanks, SO much!
And CHISTIE !!!!! Wow oh WOW !!!
Miss "Judy" has NEVER loked more beautiful! I love that your THIRD color was RED! A perfect choice,teehee, in my humble opinion. And of course I adore how you made a "corsage " for your layout ! So striking! Thanks for sharing this , truly !!! As ever, Moe

Gorgeous, gorgeous projects! What wonderful artists. These are simply beautiful, love the spring look of the first card. Really love the romantic, vintage, shabby chic look of Kiss layout. And the tribute to Ms. Garland is just stunning! The collection of red hearts under "Judy" almost look like a Garland!

Love the ribbons you have matched up with these projects - just fabulous!
