"Hello everybody!
My name is Galina Sazonovа and I live in Moscow, Russia with my husband and our two children.
I am a landscape designer, but in 2013 I discovered for myself a scrapbooking and it became an integral part of my life!
I get the inspiration from different things and events, as well as from people and emotions.. I really love life and love to do it better and more beautiful.) So in my projects I create a lot of colors and layers. Graphic 45 is ideal for my creativity!)
Wish you better things and to CREATE and CREATE wth G45 every day!" ~Galina Sazonova
About Challenge
http://nadya-lifa.blogspot.ru/2015/08/i-love-graphic-45.html
"The idea to create a Challenge was born in my head a long time ago. The main aim was to tell an even greater range of scrappers that work with Graphic 45 - a real pleasure, it's not as difficult as it seems and that is the important thing to overcome the fear of beautiful paper and begin to cut out parts of the sheets. Challenge mission was: to create three albums of various shapesby my step-by-step tutorials.
I was stunned by quantity of participants of the challenge and by ptojects! Stunning, sophisticated, complicated albums! It was a great challenge with a perfect jury: Annette. Nicholla, Donna, Katie, Tati - what a real team!!! Thank a lot for Charee Filimoehala! She are so kind and helped me soo much to create this Challenge! Thanks a ton for ALL Graphic 45 TEAM, they inspire us to create amazing projects! Graphic 45, we love you!!!!!" ~Nadya Lifa

These projects are amazing. How I wish I had that talent.

So very creative! I see some new things here and am encouraged that we have not yet seen everything that paper has to offer us! The paper seems to talk to her and her work reflects her love of paper crafting and scrapping! Such a delight to see this beautiful work!

Such attention to detail with the fussy cutting of so many elements turn paper into magic in Galina's hands. Mahalo for sharing your imagination and skills!

Awesome! I could not pick which project I liked the most! Such talent. I really like the idea of the first album with the tie up pumpkin. I have never seen anything like it! What an inspiring project. I have just overcome my fear of cutting up the beautiful Graphic 45 paper. Your projects look as if they "come to life" with all your fussy cutting!

These projects are some of the most amazing mini's I have ever seen. I love them all, but the last one is my favorite. I LOVE Halloween & Steampunk themed anything.
Just amazing work! You're a very talented lady. Thank you for sharing your talents.

Everything is so gorgeous!! I am most inspired by the Steampunk Spells mini... I have been wanting to take an old book and re-purpose it to look like a book of spells that I could leave open on a table top as a Halloween decor piece. This mini is chock full of ideas and I am newly inspired to tackle this project. Thanks for the highlighting this creative paper crafter!!
