And the new 2013 Graphic 45 Design Team Is...
Hello Fabulous G45ers,
It's the day you've all been waiting for! It's time to announce the new Graphic 45 Design Team for 2013! We know you've all been waiting anxiously to see who made the list! So lets just get right to it!
We want to take a moment to thank you all for joining us on this very special day. It's been an amazing process of selecting our brand new Design Team for 2013. From our first DT audition announcement, to the picking of our 30 finalists, reviewing their final project submissions, and narrowing it down to the final list, from start to finish this has been a challenging and immensely enriching experience for all of us here at Graphic 45. Picking our new Design Team was not an easy task. The incredible range of talents, skills, and imagination displayed by all of our finalists was extraordinary. For those of you who made the list, we want to give a warm congratulations and welcome you to the team. For those of you who who did not make the list, we want to give our deepest and most sincere thank you for all of your hard work and your incredible talents. We can't stress enough how difficult it was for us to narrow it down the final list. We are incredibly grateful to have such inventive and accomplished artists trying out for our Design Team. Thank you to each and every one of you from all of us here at Graphic 45.

I would love to have this to make my Mother a scrapbook of my baby pictures. I am an only child, and my mom is my best friend. I can't think of a better gift. I have made other scrapbooks for her, but this is just is so beautiful. The designs in the set look so much like the birth announcements she sent when I was born in 1970 ;-)
