Graphic 45 Featured Artist: The Talented Pam Bray!
We are so excited to feature an incredible artist today! The amazing and wonderful Pam Bray! Pam has been an avid G45er for years now and we are simply in love with her talent. We are so honored to feature her today. Also, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Pam! It is her birthday today as we feature her, so make sure to wish her a happy birthday in the comments. Get to know the fabulous work of Pam! Take it away, Pam:
"I am a wife, mom of 4 and grandma to 9 very amazing grandchildren if I must say so myself. I just recently retired so I have plenty of time to scrapbook, paper crafting, alter projects and make cards. I love Diet Coke and chocolate so they must be close at hand when I am creating. I enjoy traveling and usually take a bit of scrapbooking supplies with me...I can't image not being able to create. I am currently on the Craftwell Cut N Boss, Xyron, Eileen Hull’s Inspiration Team, DecoArt Mixed Media Design Team and love doing Guest Design Spots.
I knew as soon as I saw this years Halloween Collection I was going to be making a trailer park but also knew I had to have it contained some how into one piece and I think I achieved an extraordinary Halloween Centerpiece by making a Haunted Vintage Trailer Carousel.
Our friend Gloria Stengel has started up the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Blog Hop again only we aren't doing the challenge part. My first project for the hop was this wonderful Botanical Tea Card Box filled with Thinking of You Cards. I don't think we ever send out enough of those.
I created "A Beautiful World" Plaque for Eileen Hull's Art with Heart Challenge Blog...I love the Botanicabella Collections works so well with a bit of mix media. The theme was to create some new from something old...so the Botanicabella worked perfect since it was just brought back this year and I so love that.
Who doesn't dream of butterflies. My "Dream of Butterflies" was inspired by this summer butterflies in our flower garden. I used a House Shrine Chipboard piece along with other chipboard pieces from Gina's Lasercut Designs to create my project. The Olde Curiosity Shoppe is one of my all time favorite collections so it went perfect with my piece.
Lastly, a Thank You Card. Thank you for having me a Guest Designer. Thank you for always creating inspirational papers and products that just speak to my heart. Thank you for being a company that cares for others and always sharing in our vision of your products. I have tried for years to be on the Graphic 45 design team and have never made it but that is okay because I can honestly say that the community of designers out there not on the team are all your designers because of your generosity and always sharing, leaving comments and encourage us in other areas of our creative life. Again, Thank You." ~ Pam
