Graphic 45 Ning Gallery Highlights
Hello G45ers,
Hooray for Friday! Are you ready to get inspired with some gorgeous crafts? We're bringing you some amazing highlights from the Graphic 45 Ning gallery today! Plus we have a new blog contest winner to announce! Today is going to be a lot of fun! As many of you know, the Graphic 45 Ning gallery is a great place to go to get tons of inspiration and share your Graphic 45 creations. It is an amazing community of G45ers just like you! You can check out a huge variety of crafts and get lots of ideas for your next Graphic 45 craft project. It's also a great place to share your own Graphic 45 crafts with a wonderful group of creative people who also love Graphic 45! Today we thought we'd share some of the gorgeous crafts that have been uploaded to our Ning site recently. These crafts were created by G45ers all over the world! They've made cards, altered art, layouts, upcycled projects and more! There's so much to see today!
Graphic 45 Ning:
First let's begin with this week's blog contest winner! Chosen at random from this week's Facebook comments, the winner is...
- Bonnie Shackles: "Wow - such a beautiful collection - hoping to win"
Congratulations, Bonnie! Please email us with your shipping information at info@g45papers.com to claim your prize! This is the marvelous Secret Garden prize that Bonnie won today! We will have a brand new blog contest on Monday so be sure to swing on by for your chance to win!
We begin today's Ning Gallery highlights with this breathtaking Olde Curiosity Shoppe altered book by Shauna Hunt. This incredible creation features fabulous fussy cutting and other dazzling techniques that transformed an old book into an exquisite project. All the wonder and fun of Olde Curiosity Shoppe comes to life in this incredible project. It is a true work of art!
Next we're going to take a trip back in time with this elegant layout featuring A Ladies' Diary by Karen Zueger. We just love all of Karen's gorgeous paper layers and fussy cut elements which give this LO beautiful dimension. The central photo definitely captures the opulent spirit of A Ladies' Diary. It's a true beauty!
Next up is this delightful French Country recipe book by Tati Scrap. This is the perfect craft for bringing our French Country collection to life. You can see how Tati added lots of stunning layers, fussy cut elements and sweet chipboards to give this book a remarkable look. A pretty book like this one would also make an amazing gift! It's also a fabulous place to store all of your family recipes.
Here we have a fantastic idea for upcyling! Behold this Bohemian Bazaar upcycled bottle by Rebecca Morris. This is such a great idea for giving new life to an old object. The bright colors and hypnotic designs of Bohemian Bazaar add so much cheer to this sweet home decor creation. Metal embellishments and pretty ribbons also add to the marvelous vintage charm of this lovely craft. It's so dreamy!
Last but certainly not least is this darling Secret Garden card by Denise Holmes. Some pretty paper layers and exquisite handmade paper flowers give this card a fabulous and natural look. This card would make a wonderful gift. Get inspired to create a fun and beautiful handmade card like this one with your favorite Graphic 45 collection!
We hope you all had a lot of fun exploring today's Ning gallery highlights! We want to thank all of today's featured G45ers for their incredible work. We encourage all of you to share your Graphic 45 creations with us on Ning! We would love to see what you're creating. Please come back and see us very soon for more spectacular craft inspiration and fun. We hope you have a wonderful day and a very happy weekend!

Being a card maker I really love the sweet 'secret garden' card & the hand made paper flowers look beautiful! Thank you for sharing these fabulous layouts and designers with us.
Posted by: Kim Oliver | August 23, 2013 at 03:54 PM
Love all the varied elements in the layouts.
Have many ideas of my own but have to work at them to get them on show.
Love Bohemian Bazzar papers & now my new favourite is Steampunk Spells.
It is wonderful to see paper used that I was too late a convert to have bought!
Thank you all you very clever ladies for the inspiration to do better myself!

Shauna's altered book using Olde Curiosity Shoppe is to die for. But I like the Ladies Diary line and Secret Garden too! I guess you just can't have a bad project with G45!
