Today I thought it would be fun to look at some fabulous layouts featuring our new collections Le Cirque and Curtain Call. These new collections are so much fun to work with and can be used in so many different ways to create something astonishing. Have a look at this sweet-as-can-be Le Cirque LO by Christie Bryant that also features the Graphic 45 Trim Staples. If this isn't fun, I don't know what is!
Here we have another stunning example of layout genius. This LO was created by Tracey Locher using Curtain Call. I love how spacious this LO is, with lavish textures and layers. So pretty! Tracey also used the Graphic 45 Envelope Tag Staples, Trim Staples and Flower Staples to give this LO its romantic charm. Have a look!
Join us tomorrow for more fabulous craft inspiration. We want to thank Chrtistie Bryant and Tracey Locher for their gorgeous crafts. Don't forget to leave a comment for this week's contest. We look forward to hearing from you!
Wishing you a beautiful week!

Wow what a great giveaway. I think my favorite craft is doing collage. I collage canvas, cigar boxes, bottles and whatever else I can get my hands on.

I enjoy sewing, quilting, crocheting, and papercrafting. My passion is scrapbooking. Something about working with paper, lace, and all the rest is just so soothing. I love creating 12x12 layouts and they have become family treasures.

Graphic 45 in general gets me excited! I design and teach my own card and scrapbook classes and am often asked where I get my ideas/inspiration. I've thought about this question alot and the answer is - the paper, embellishments, etc. They really get my creative juices flowing. Graphic 45 continually produces amazing collections that motivate me creatively no matter what project I'm working on!!

I so love altered art. And, adding Graphic 45 papers to my creations always make it stand out. I went to pick up the new collection but the store only had a few sheets left when I got there. Hope they get more soon. I am halfway done with some projects and can't wait to add some Le Cirque to it !

I love doing layouts but I am just starting to dabble in mixed media - hoping it is as fun as it looks! Lisa L.
