I enjoy the cheerful pinwheel table decor, also going to use them with the little repurposed tissue box baskets...might even try these with small individual serving cereal boxes...just have a few here, plenty of time before the peeps need a home! 🐰🐰🐰 🐤🐤🐤!

All I can say is WOW! I absolutely love these layouts. I used to scrapbook and craft all the time but I couldn't "find the time". I thought I was too busy. I have a full time job, 2 kids, I volunteer and being part time self employed, I am busy, but it was my escape for "Me time". Guess what, I'm finding the time. These pictures have inspired me to pull out my stuff, find the time and get creative again. Thank you!!!

G45 is by far the best
Posted by: Conrad OConnell | March 25, 2014 at 06:59 AM
By the Sea prize pack is so nice! I love the colors and I'm thinking a dimensional project in this line would be such fun, especially with warmer days around the corner! Thank you for the opportunity to be in the contest!

Posted by: Sue Wolfe | March 25, 2014 at 06:55 PM
I absolutely love the Sweet Sentiments collection! Lots of "sweet" ideas are going through my head!
Posted by: Nancy Rutherford | March 25, 2014 at 10:57 PM
I had been thinking about Easter decor but nothing was feeling right? I saw the pinwheels and it all fell into place! Not only do I love G45 papers, but your designer just solved a problem for me, I feel like I got a two-fer:)
Posted by: Kat | March 28, 2014 at 05:48 AM
Just discovered you today Graphic45 via Papercapers in Orillia and their website. Talk about inspiration! Your Steampunk Spells, Botanical Tea and By The Sea just about want me to have winter all over again so I can scrap even more! I look forward to becoming one of your groupies.
