Graphic 45 A Ladies Diary Boxes

I really love the Graphic 45 A Ladies Diary. What girly girl wouldn't. I modge podged the background paper on.  Then fussy cut out the lady and three images.

The light brown doily is a thrift store find, the dark on is Paper Studio, the flower was in my stash and the brad is Graphic 45.  The doily in the background is BoBunny and the pearls are Zva Creative.
 
The flowers are I am Roses assortment, with another doily peaking out.  The cameo was bought on Ebay.  The Eiffel Tower is a wood veneer piece from Wood Veneers for Sale on Photo Bucket.
 
This next small jewelry box was from a thrift store too.  It was so cute I couldn't leave it behind.
I cut out an image and the post card for this box.  I just added a hint of the blue a full mat was to much and wanted to give it a stopping point.  The roses are I am Roses and the key/locket were in my stash.
The side lace I toned down with Tim's Stained Walnut ink.  Then topped it with flat back pearls, Cute

Husband Graphic 45 Proper Gentleman Father's Day card

Hi Crafters.  I made this Father's Day card for my Husband back in 2010.  I used Graphic 45 Proper Gentleman paper and Basic Grey's Basic White paper.  It has been 3 years since I made this and the details are not fresh in my mind.  The video link will be posted for you to see.  When I build a card I don't always go by the rules.  I cut paper to my liking.  There are times I shave a little off 10 different times.  I do know I fussy cut the gentleman at the top and the car at the bottom.  Please check out the video.  Here is the link:

Father's Day 2010 cards

 
Hi Crafters.  This was once of my first cards using Graphic 45.  The Proper Gentleman is the perfect collection to use for Father's Day.  It is a very easy card to make cut out the watch faces, use Cricut to cut out Dad and layer.  The white piece is from Basic Grey's Basic White paper pad.  When I cut my layers I don't always know what size they will be.  I go by eye and when it looks good. That is when I stop but it has been 3 years since I made the card. So, I best give you the link to the video to see my process.

Barrett Duck Call

 
This is our besties son, Barrett.  Brett brought me the frame, duck call, shot gun shells and duck feathers.  He wanted the shells and duck call where they are. Then said, " work your magic."
I used a light brown burlap for the background.  The picture mats first layer is denim and a orange paper.  In each corner of the mat is a nail head brad.  I bought the wheat with leaves and natural moss at Hobby lobby.  Once I placed  everything where I wanted it I tucked in the duck feathers.  This was the fastest layout I have ever made and LOVE IT!!!  How could I not love it, Barrett is in it.
Check out my video on Youtube for more close up looks and details.

I Am Roses Door Sign

Hi Crafters!!!  My parents just moved into Assisted Living due to my Mother's advanced Dementia.  When we were there last weekend visiting.  I notice some of the residents doors had something on them. So Yes I had to make them something.  I new the I am Roses R~77 had to fit in this.  The first thing was to find paper that would go perfect with them and Authentique it is.  I cut the plaque from Elegant Edges at 5x7.5 on my Gypsy.  The font is Billionaire Lite Cartridge "Sheldon" was cut at 3"x7" layered on brown cardstock.  I love the arrangement of the I Am Roses with flowers from More Paper than Shoes.  There are a few porcelain flowers mixed in the arrangement.  I tucked in some leaves, fillers and a few pearls to add a finishing touch.  I did not have the right ribbon on hand to us to hang it with.  I will add a picture of it hanging on the door.  Thank you Hugs, Robbin
