And now it's time to explore some craft treasures from our Ning gallery! Here we have a gorgeous Secret Garden card by Victoria Petrenko. The bright colors of Secret Garden shine in this beautifully layered creation. This is such a wonderful idea for a happy all-occasions card. We love how Victoria added some pretty paper distressing and lovely fussy cut elements to give this card such an elegant look. You can definitely feel the love in this dazzling work of art!
Here is another fun creation from our Ning gallery. Behold, these stylish Typography Box Albums by Theresa Pearson. These creations really shows how wonderfully all the Typography papers blend together! It's the perfect collection for creating bold and vibrant works of art! These creations definitely capture all the warmth and sophistication of Typography! Here is what Theresa had to say about it!
"These boxes I made as Christmas gifts were a perfect way to use up some of the paper collections I'd been hoarding. Each box contains 12 5x7 tags with a photo mat for a 4x6 picture on one side and a lined journaling block on the other. The small box contains the cut-aparts and 6 mats for 3x5 photos with a gratitude list card on the back." -Theresa
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and what could be better than an elegant handmade Valentine? Here is an incredible Place in Time altered spool by Melissa Divebliss. We just love how well Melissa blended the gorgeous papers from Place in Time with beautiful floral embellishments, ribbons and pearls. This is such an inspiring idea for creating one-of-a-kind Valentines for your sweetie this year! Let Melissa's amazing creation inspire you to create your own beautiful handmade Valentine with your favorite Graphic 45 collection this year!
Here we have a stunning layout that exudes vintage charm. This is an amazing French Country layout by Oma Anna. The gorgeous central photo sets the stage for this beautifully layered creation. French Country papers, Tags & Pockets and flowing embellishments create a breathtaking scene in this exquisite LO! French Country is a fabulous collection for capturing an authentic vintage look in all your crafts! This layout is such a wonderful tribute to times gone by.
Last but certainly not least is this incredible 12 Days of Christmas "Dancing in the Snow" home decor piece by Kerstin P. We just love how Kerstin created a whimsical winter wonderland in this darling work of art. The spirit of the holiday season comes to life in this beautiful creation. This is a perfect example of what you can do when you let your favorite Graphic 45 collections capture your imagination! It's fun, playful and absolutely heartwarming!
That's all for today, G45ers. We hope you'll check out the Graphic 45 Ning site for more fun and inspiration. We encourage you to share your Graphic 45 crafts with us on Ning.
