Denise Hahn always has the most amazing ideas with her papercrafting. We're in love with her Botanical Tea crown. Notice the tea sachets she includes in her crown.

"As I was creating this project I found myself reminiscing about all the things I have created, the papers I fell in love with, and the amazing G45 fans. One of my favorite projects of all time one of my first, my Le Cirque Mini Crown. It was one of my audition pieces when I tried out 2 years ago. And now many collections and projects later I have fallen in love again with another crown- Botanical Tea. I think my favorite part is the real tea bag. Now this bag wasn’t the first one I tried. I wanted a bag with the shimmery fabric and I had such a tea bag, but it was triangle shaped and the tea looked like loose tobacco. I fearlessly hot glued it on and was like- hummph, okay I guess that works. But the more I looked at it, the more it looked like a dark blob on this beautiful crown! So I tore it off and went in search of the perfect tea bag and I found it! Starbucks chamomile tea. It had the right kind of bag and the delicate flowers and tea leaves. Now, this was no easy application! I had to cut a tiny slice in the back and empty half the contents out, then I layered it flat and smeared Tacky Glue over the back, so that all the tea wouldn’t just sit at the bottom. I let it dry then hot glued it on- it was love at first sight! What was almost a disaster ended up being my absolute favorite part! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed creating for you over the past two years." -Denise

"I was blown away by ‘Botanical tea’, and while I adore every single collection Graphic 45 creates, I honestly have to say, that this one is my all-time favourite. I love every single page, and can see myself using this beautiful collection, over, and over again.
