Graphic 45's Tag-stravaganza Day 4!
Hello Fabulous G45ers!
We are so pleased that you are joining us for another day of tag inspiration here at Graphic 45! This is going to be such a fun day! Melanie Forbes and Nancy Wethington of our design team have created stunning tags with our brand new collections. We even have a fun video for you! If this week doesn't get you in the mood to create some tags then nothing will! Tags have so many uses! You can give them as gifts, use them as fancy bookmarks, use them as sweet home decor, adorn your mini albums with them, the possibilities are endless! So lets get the inspiration train running right now! Don't forget about this week's marvelous contest! All you need to do is tag Graphic 45 (@Graphic45) on Facebook or Twitter. The more @Graphic 45 tags you do, the more chances you have to win a prize package valued at $60. And now it's tag time!
This first marvelous tag was created by Melanie Forbes. This tag features our new collection Olde Curiosity Shoppe and it's absolutely splendid! Melanie used recycled Graphic 45 Staples packaging to create the backing for this tag. This is a great technique that many of our design team members love to use when creating tags. Melanie also used the beautiful Graphic 45 Metal Hinge Staples to give this tag an authentic vintage look. Behold the beauty!
