Fond Memories: A Farewell to the Amazing Jade Moore
Hello Lovely Crafters!
A very happy Monday to you and welcome to another amazing week of inspiration here at the Graphic 45 blog! This week we are saying a fond farewell to a few of our 2010 Design Team members, and have a ton of glorious projects of theirs to share with you. We also want to remind all of you clever crafters that our Earth Day Scraps Challenge is in full effect this week! Create something out of your recycled Graphic 45 scraps and post it on our new Facebook Page for your chance to win a big prize pack of amazing Graphic 45 treasures! A winner will be picked at random and announced this Friday, April 29! Don't throw away those paper scraps! Turn them into something beautiful, help the Earth, and maybe even win an awesome prize! Yay!
Today we are saying a very fond farewell to a very creative and innovative crafter, the brilliant Jade Moore. We had the extreme pleasure of having Jade on our 2010 Design Team and her work was always lavish and superb. When looking at Jade's crafts you really get the sense that she has a unique artistic eye. Whenever I see something new that Jade has created I often think, "Wow, I never would have thought of that!" She loves to combine paper collections until she finds just the right assortment of colors and patterns for her projects. Her works is always fabulously textured and filled with beautifully placed embellishments. One look at a project by Jade and you get the sense that she had a blast creating it. Her work radiates with warmth and clever style. We have deeply enjoyed spotlighting her creations this year and we just know she'll keep stunning others with her amazing talent.
We have a few new projects by Jade to share with you today. These crafts really highlight the range of Jade's talents: from her knack for altered objects, to beautiful cards, and lavish layouts. Here we have a stunning heart-shaped box that Jade created using A Proper Gentleman and Curtain Call. It's simply stunning.
"This is the gift box I altered to gift my Daddy for V-day! I am a big ole Daddy's girl so he will always get a handmade gift form me on V-day. Only instead of crayons and construction paper now a days I'm using some amazing paper from G45!!" -Jade Moore

Jade, You will never know what a HUGE impact you have had on me and my creative perspective. I have loved your imaginative 'take' on things and the way you think outside the box. I have also loved your tutorials. Thank you for being such a vital part of G45!!!

Wow these projects and creations by her are just fabulous.
I have my reveal on A Cherry On Top up today using two of the lines- La Cirque and Curtain call and I loved working with both lines.

Stunning creations Jade! You will be missed on G45 but I am a follower so I still get to see all your fabulous creations! Best of luck on future endeavors!

I'm so disappointed that Jade will no longer be inspiring me with my G45 paper. She always "enlightens" me to the possibilities that I miss with these beautiful paper collections.
