Hello Fabulous G45ers!

Happy Tuesday and welcome to this excellent day of inspiration! All this week we're bringing you the most amazing tag creations from our design team. You are going to love today's stunning tags! Jane Tregenza, Robin Shakoor and Nancy Wethington have gone all out to bring you some stunning creations. Tags are so much fun to make and today's tags are sure to inspire. You can also join in the fun with this weeks 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.

First up is this remarkable tag by Jane Tregenza. You are going to fall in love with this colorful and warm-hearted tag. Jane used our new collection Olde Curiosity Shoppe to create this marvelous tag. Here is what she had to say about her inspiration behind this sweet creation.

"Graphic 45 asked the design team to create a tag by recycling packaging from the staples range of embellishments. I couldn’t decide which size tag to use, so I used both sizes. The large tag is from the ornate metal door plates package and the smaller one is from the hinges (I used two tags this size). I covered the large tag both sides with  “when pigs fly”.  The 1^st of the smaller tags I used “Mercurial Masterpiece” I used the spots for the front of the tag and the reverse of the paper for the back of the tag. For my second smaller tag I used “Butterfly Specifics” I hinged the two smaller tags together using Graphic 45’s metal hinges. I attached the  back tag to the larger tag with part of it hanging off the larger tag to the left. This allowed the hinges to work. I added some more papers from “old Curiosity Shoppe” to give my tags a more layered look. All I did was add some chipboard from Imaginarium Designs, a photo and some ribbons to finished it off."
