Colorful Creations with Graphic 45
Welcome to another day of the Graphic 45 Color Challenge! We have three more amazing projects for you today. Two of them use the same color palette, and it's so much fun to see how a designer can take the same three colors and create something completely unique and beautiful. Nichola shares some amazing Mother Goose jewel jars. Then, we have a layout from Donna that is simply stunning. Andrew Roberts creates dazzling journaling blocks.It's going to be a terrific Tuesday!

Let's see what three colors Nichola chose:
We love her jewel jars using the Mother Goose collection. What a fun idea!
"The annual fun fair at my son’s school is fast approaching. This year his class was asked to donate “Jewel Jars” as prizes. These little jars are packed with goodies of all sorts like candy, school supplies, and small toys. Using Core'dinations Lemon Chiffon, Spring Green and Robin’s Egg in combination with Graphic 45’s Mother Goose collection I’ve spruced up some inexpensive plastic jars. I’ve gone easy on the embellishments, making them a quick fun project that will appeal to little prize winners at the school… but you could absolutely run with the concept for bridal showers, or party favours and decorate to your hearts content!" ~Nichola

Andrew used the same three colors to create a brilliant project. Read all about it below!
"One of my favorite papercrafting projects is constructing or altering boxes. I look at pinterest often enjoying the many varied altered projects. This style of project gives me the chance to be simple or detailed and has an eclectic range of ideas. graphic 45 papers are perfect for the altering process. you can use a single collection or merge collections together.
Tip: Creating a shadow box effect allows for a lot of detail in a small part of the project." ~Andrew

I love the way Graphic 45 collections coordinate not only within the collection but with the solid colors as well and very often, with other collections. No end to the creativity as reflected in today's challenge projects.

I love all these examples- from the old and the new papers-and these beautiful papers remind me of the truth of quote that "Everything old is new again".
