Graphic 45 - Jasmine Dreams in 3D

Hi,

Graphic 45's designs are just so amazingly beautiful.  The Bird Song Collection has always been one of the most beautiful collections I have seen!  So when having to scrap my Japan holiday - these are the first papers I thought of!  I was so excited to create this next 'layout' I could not wait to show you....

One for the BOYS!

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing with you a layout I created using the Fancy Pants Designs ‘Be Different’ range. This collection is full of bold patterns, cute monster characters and boyish sentiments…PERFECT for scrapping all those loud, cheeky boys in your life! (Like my own two little monsters!) ;)

This layout took me surprisingly little time. The bold patterns of this collection lend themselves to a more “graphic” style of scrapping, which I found much faster than my usual layer-upon-layer style, and I am really happy with the result.

Love To Shop.... In Tokyo...

Hello

I learnt something new yesterday - the reason why Graphic 45 is called Graphic 45... Do you know why?

In a nutshell - Graphic 45 is a Mother and 2 Daughter team - at the age of 45, the Mother went back to 'school' and studied Graphic Design - hence the name Graphic 45...  Inspiring isn't it?

On some paper designs it is quite clear to see which is the 'main side' and which is the back - on others not as clear.  In this case for my following layouts - I have actually used the other side! (I know this is the other side - as the paper is called "Shanghai Girls" - I have not used the side with the girls on hehe)

Oops, sorry forgot to mention - got side-tracked with my sharing my inspirational 'new knowledge' - I am using Graphic 45 Bird Song Collection - Shanghai Girls for the layouts.

I created these pages side by side - when I create layouts like this - I guess you could call it a double layout - I like to design them so that they can also stand alone if for some reason I need to separate them in my album.  The layout to the left is titled "Love to Shop" and below "In Tokyo" - so they work together as well as alone.

 

Prima Resin in a Box....

Hi Guys, Karen with you again today, and guess what.. no tag today..

 

Instead I have a little project to share with you that I made using the packaging from the Prima Resin in a Box.

 

Anpanman (A Japanese Superhero)

Konnichiwa,

Have you heard of Anpanman - ask your children - they probably have!  Anpanman is a Japanese Superhero from a picture book and an animated series who flies around and helps children in need. Anpanman is one of my Daughter's favourite Japanese characters, so when we saw these Anpanman toys in Tokyo - she had to pose for a photo!

August - A Year in Time

Hello, Sue D here with your today to share another page in the G45 - A Year in Time  album. You may remember earlier in the year my son got himself the most adorable puppy, well she has grown and grown but still has so many puppy habits lol, she loves to chew (as you will see from her collar - lol) and still destroys most of her toys.

To make this page I used some of the following products:

• G45 Place in Time 8x8 pad
• Tim Holtz Artful Flight & Artful Things mini stamps
• Kaiser Cherish Stamp
• Crafters Workshop Stencil - Mini Bricks
• Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Worn Lipstick & Broken China
• Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists - Santa Baby & Jack Frost
• Jo Sonja's Gesso
