Love the new boxes! It's funny my Mom and I love all things boxes...when we shop together we always end up in the container area discussing the merits of each product, what it can hold, is it practical, pretty, etc...I think when these are available I'm going to have to make her one very pretty AND practical present!

G45 is great about "Sneak Peeks", after seeing the peeks of new stuff on the blog the products seem like old friends you've been waiting to pick up when they arrive at local stores.
Posted by: Gia Thompson | July 11, 2012 at 05:51 AM
What amazing projects! Graphic 45 has the most talented, creative and innovative Design Team.
Have to be honest --- there is not one item that Graphic 45 produces that I do not like.

I cannot wait to start creating a 3-d project with the match boxes. There is no end to the shadow box or themed box you can make with these. Graphic 45 has really outdone themselves this CHA Thanks Graphic 45 for all the wonderful eye candy and the chance to win some goodies.
