Chosen at random from this week's blog and Facebook comments, our winners are...
From our blog:
-Barbara Johnson: "Oh I'm excited about these fabrics!!! I just made two quilted handbags that I love!! I can't wait to make one in tropical travelogue!!! I've been sewing a lot lately. Made pajama pants for my husband too!! He'll love the fishes for pajama pants!!! I can't wait to find these!! Thanks graphic 45!!! You're AWESOME!!!"

Congratulations! Will our winners please email us with your shipping information at [email protected] to claim your prize! Hooray!
And now it's time for some wonderful craft inspiration! This first gorgeous piece was created by Gloria Stengel using Little Darlings and the Graphic 45 Metal Film Canister. This stunning piece of home decor is so sweetly charming and lavishly feminine. The fabulous ribbons, pretty embellishments and gorgeous patterned papers are so captivating! This is the kind of craft that is so much fun to create and also makes a perfect gift! Simply gorgeous!
"I turned the Graphic 45 Metal Film Canister into wall decor, or it could be used as a door hanger. This would be very cute to hang either on your front door to warn that "baby is napping" or to use as decor for the baby's room." -Gloria Stengel

Makes me wish I had grandchildren to craft for, but my sons have said that is not in their immediate foreseeable future. And I just can't craft baby things to sell...too personal.

J'ai bien aimé votre blog. Il est facile à lire, le contenu est bon, et vous êtes un auteur culte contrairement à la plupart des blogs que je suis à la recherche de ce sujet. Je vais vérifier à nouveau et de voir à l'avenir si vous avez plusieurs éléments. Merci de poster ce, je vous remercie de l'information et l'effort que vous mettez dans le site.

Les deux pièces sont si belles. Je suis tellement étonné de constater combien les gens ont du talent pour l'art altéré. Vraiment et d'inspiration!

I just possibly find that it is this easy. I know tons of people who would pay tens of thousands to a psychologist and come up with a large total as a result

Love all the Little Darling-projects in the various Blogs of the past weeks! I often print out the design teams Projects and keep the prints near my scrap-corner for instant inspiration whenever I find time to do some scrapping myself. This G45 Blog is fabulous.

Such a very cute design. I'm sure everyone who will see this will say the same thing. Best day?

Ez a blog megfelelő bárkinek, akinek szüksége van arra, hogy megkeresse erről a témáról. Rájössz, hogy gyakorlatilag egy csomó nehéz vitatkozni veled (nem, hogy én valójában kellene ... haha). Ön is tett egy új spin a témában amit írtak róla évekig. Szép dolog, csak nagy!

I agree that this metal film canister could also be used in door hanger. This idea is so cool and can be used for a long time.

When you stand your gun up in your rack and all that excess oil slides down towards the back of the reciever.

Perhaps the most important aspect of the job hunt is your resume.
