Memories and Magic: Introducing Hilde Janbroers
Hello Crafters!
A very happy Monday to you! Thank you for joining us! The craft fun continues today with more Design Team introductions and blog contests! Today we are thrilled to welcome back an amazing crafter to our Design Team. You may remember the amazing Hilde Janbroers as one of our original Design Team members a few years ago. Well, she's back for more and we are thrilled to have her! But first we want to let you know about this week's blog prize! It's another fun and easy contest this week. You may have noticed that we have a new Graphic 45 Facebook business page. And we really want to get all of our fans over to the new page before the old Fan page is shut down. So here's what you need to do to be entered to win this week's blog prize. Just go to our new Facebook page and hit "Like." Then just leave us a comment here on the blog that lets us know that you became a fan of the new Facebook page. It can be as simple as saying "Hi, this is Kelly Woessner and I'm a fan of G45 on Facebook!" Only you'd put your name and not my name. Ha! Simple enough? The contest will be happening all week and a winner will be chosen at random and announced on Friday, April 22. In return you could win this terrific Graphic 45 prize pack! A Le Cirque 12x12 Paper Pad, Geometric Door Plate and Knob Staples, and Envelope Tag Staples! Wow!
Today we are so happy to welcome back the amazing Hilde Janbroers to our Design Team. Hilde resides in the Netherlands and is a prolific and vivacious crafter. Her blog is a fantastic blend of modern and vintage styles. She has a terrific talent for using geometric patterns to create wonderfully textured creations. She loves color and isn't afraid to be bold in her choices. The thing that stands out most about Hilde's work, aside from its obvious beauty, is her range of styles. When glancing through her blog, you'll notice a tremendous diversity of crafts. Some are bright, bold, and more contemporary. While others are soft, delicate, and more vintage-inspired. Sometimes she combines modern with vintage to create something wonderfully unique. It is this whimsical duality that makes Hilde's work so extraordinary. Her crafts are amazingly cheerful and loving, a reflection of a lady who loves what she does and wants to share it with the world. Her blog is loaded with videos and tutorials as well as wonderful photos of her work. It's no wonder we're so glad to have her back on our team! Ladies and Gentlemen, say hello to the remarkable Hilde Janbroers!
"My name is Hilde Janbroers. I am 31 years old, and a mother of 3 children. I decided to become a stay-at-home-mom after the birth of my new baby, so I have more time to scrapbook as well. Since that is my passion! I am a dedicated scrapbooker. Why Graphic 45? It still feels a bit like my baby. I have been involved for a while and I love the vintage feeling it has all around it.I just am addicted to the romantic touch, the whimsical images....I just Love Graphic 45." -Hilde Janbroers
Have a look at this adorable layout that Hilde created with our Domestic Goddess collection. The amazing central photo along with the stunning layers, soft colors, and perfectly places embellishments makes this LO a true craft gem! It's an instant smile maker!
This card is amazing! It may look simple, but there's actually a lot going on here. Hilde combined Communique, Fashionista, and Domestic Goddess to create this wonderful expression of love. The gorgeous flowers and a little bit of glitter help to make this a stunning statement of affection.
Here we have a wonderfully fun Once Upon a Springtime "Magic" banner by Hilde. With its wonderful paper flowers and butterflies, and just the right amount of distressing, this banner is magnificently captivating.
We want to thank the wonderful Hilde Janbroers for her gorgeous work. Thank you to all our readers for joining us today. We wish you all a very wonderful day!
Happy Papercrafting!
Team Graphic 45
lovely!
