Stunning Ideas & Inspiration From The G45 Ning Gallery!
Hello G45ers,
Happy Friday to you all! Thank you so much for stopping by our blog on this fine day! We've got some stunning craft creations to share with you! We also have a big announcement to make about a huge blog event that is happening next week! What's the big news? You're just going to have to keep reading to find out! But first up we wanted to share today's amazing crafts! Once a month we like to share some craft highlights from the Graphic 45 Ning gallery! The Graphic 45 Ning site is an incredible place to share your Graphic 45 creations, get inspired by your fellow crafters and connect with an amazing community of artists! Today you're going to see some of the incredible crafts that have been posted to our Ning gallery recently. As always we encourage all of you to share your Graphic 45 creations with us on Ning! We love to see what you're creating!
Graphic 45 Ning:
First up is this absolutely stunning creation. It's a Christmas Tree featuring A Ladies Diary by Jan Hennings. She individually wrapped little packages and stacked them into a tree shape! Isn't that clever?! Then Jan added some flowing ribbon and a cute little tree skirt to create this feminine holiday home decor piece. We just love it!
Next up is this vibrant and beautiful Bird Song Photo Tray Shadowbox by Sabrina Radeck. There are so many fun photos in this shadowbox. The bright colors and whimsical designs of Bird Song are just perfect in this unique creation! Sabrina also used Graphic 45 Metal Butterflies to add even more charm to this wonderful work of art! Here is what she had to say about it.
"For a Scrapbook Parade Class and my youngest, 24 year old daughter who is in the photos. She's a great welder and very artistic as well. All the Bird Song projects I've made for these classes will go to her when the classes are completed." -Sabrina Radeck
January is just days away! Here is a fantastic Place in Time January 2013 Calendar Page by Carli Groven. The colors in this calendar page are so amazing! All the fun of the winter season really comes to life! What a wonderful way to start the new year!
Here is a wonderfully adorable Little Darlings shabby chic photo frame by Martica Gonzalez. This is such a delightful creation! Martica layered papers from Little Darlings and added gorgeous floral embellishments and ribbons to create this sweet frame. It is a truly heartfelt gift!
"This is a frame I did for a friend that just had a baby." -Martica Gonzalez
Next up is this incredible Place in Time winter layout by Lisa. This is such an amazing use of Place in Time! It is such a great collection for creating exquisite seasonal LOs! Just look at all the amazing detail in this creation: paper layering, delicate stitching on the borders, inking, fussy cutting and incredible embellishments. This LO has everything! What in inspiration!
And there you have it, G45ers! We welcome you all to check out our Ning site and upload your Graphic 45 creations to our gallery! Share your love of papercrafting with a great community of artists just like you! It's a wonderful resource and a great place ot get inspired!

Awesome inspirational projects from an awesome G45 community !
"Twas the last weekend in 2012, they were perched in front of the computer as visions of G45 sneak peeks danced in their heads; and check books and credit cards the hubbies would soon dread !!! "
