Graphic 45 Ning
First up we have this beautiful Secret Garden shadowbox by Meri Wiley. This is such a colorful and clever work of art! Here is what Meri had to say about it!
"I used a cigar box, added Seven Gypsies knobs as feet, and I used only "Secret Garden" paper from Graphic 45. I added lots of flowers and made the central character into a bas relief or almost 3D by layering the image using adhesive foam spacers." -Meri Wiley
Here is a whimsical Steampunk Debutante and Olde Curiosity Shoppe layout by Amy Kluchesky. Just look at those pretty borders, fussy cut elements and lavish embellishments! This layout is off the charts with beauty!
Here is a super clever creation! Behold A Ladies' Diary 3-D Boudoir by Tan Mee Foon. Just look at all the ways that Tan used A Ladies' Diary papers to create this elegant mini room! It even has a working LED light! One word: wow!
The pink wall light has a working LED light.
Here we have a fabulous Olde Curiosity Shoppe layout by Mijn Opa. This creation has so much vintage charm! We love the classic central photo, paper layering and gorgeous embellishments! This LO is full of joy and elegant style!
Last but certainly not least is this fabulous Happy Haunting card by Kim Russell. The vibrant colors of Happy Haunting really stand out in this sweet card. Paper layering and fun use of Happy Haunting Chipboards and Stickers also make this card a spooktacular work of art!
We hope you all had fun exploring today's Graphic 45 Ning highlights! We want to thank all of today's featured G45ers for their marvelous work! Be sure to check out the Graphic 45 Ning site for more inspiration! We will have a brand new blog contest as well as more superb crafts to share with you on Monday.

All of the projects are so beautiful. I especially love the Lady's Diary boudoir, and would love to reproduce it for my granddaughters. Perhaps the designer can offer a tutorial? You ladies are so talented! It goes without saying that Graphic 45 paper lines are awesome!!!
