Think Outside the Box With Dreamy Graphic 45 Layouts!
Hello G45ers,
Welcome to another super day here at the Graphic 45 blog! We're going to have so much fun today! The wonderful colors of Autumn are on display all across the Northern Hemisphere. You can't help but admire nature's beauty this time of year. Well we thought we'd add even more color to your day with some incredible layouts from Maiko Miwa and Tara Orr of our design team! Today's creations are so cheerful and beautiful, they're like a breath of fresh Autumn air! You'll see some fantastic ways to create one-of-a-kind layouts that you'll cherish for years to come! And remember, today is the last day to leave us a blog or Facebook comment for your chance to win this amazing Graphic 45 prize pack! It includes a very rare Hallowe'en in Wonderland 12x12 paper pad, Black Policy Envelope, Metal Tag Staples, Flower Staples and beautiful chipboards from Imaginarium Designs! Wow! We will be picking one random winner from this week's comments and announcing them on our blog tomorrow!
Get ready to be wowed, G45ers! Today's layouts are out of this world! First up is this absolutely adorable LO by Maiko Miwa. She used our Happy Haunting collection to create this ultra dreamy LO. This is great because it shows how you can use Happy Haunting to create crafts that aren't specific to Halloween. The fabulous designs and colors are perfect for so many different themes. Maiko used the theme of sleep and dream-time to create this exquisite piece. Pretty embellishments, sweet sentiments and fussy cut characters dance around this LO with benevolence. This LO also shows some fabulous ways to use the new Graphic 45 Ornate Metal Key Staples! It's a real dream come true!

They are both wonderful layouts, but I must say that the layering and distress on Tara's layout is over the top inspiration.
