Handmade Ornaments with Graphic 45: Day One!
Welcome to week 2 of the G45 Handmade Gift Tutorials - today we are sharing beautiful handmade ornaments. Ginny Nemchak has a gorgeous ornament tutorial using 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. Then, we have the most beautiful altered Mixed Media Box by the amazing Nichola Battilana! You will leave so inspired today.
This week we have such an exciting contest! We are raffling off an original Jim, the Gentleman Crafter Christmas creation - an altered box with lots of beautiful handmade surprises inside. The randomly chosen winner will also win a $20 prize pack of Graphic 45 goodies. What a fun giveaway! Just take part below:
Now, let's enjoy the beautiful ornament from Ginny using our Ivory Regular Tag Album. She has a fabulous Snapguide tutorial below. We would love to hang this on our tree - and it's a perfect gift idea!

Nichola brilliantly uses our Ivory Mixed Media Box in the amazing altered Christmas wonderland below. We just love this creation!
"I love the Graphic 45 Mixed Media boxes. They are just the right size, the little window is sweet as can be, and the inside depth is practically perfect for little dioramas (which I love to make!) Twas the Night Before Christmas is a lot of fun with charming classic holiday graphics. I’ve added a slew of chunky white glitter on just about every surface but kept the edges clean to ensure that the box closure could still function.Considering our winter went on for an eternity last year, I thought that a winter theme (rather than all out Christmas) would give me an excuse to keep this piece on display for an extended time ;)" ~Nichola
