I Am Roses September Challenge: Halloween Circle Card!

Have you had a chance to participate in an I Am Roses challenge? Well, if you love I Am Roses flowers and you love to create, join our challenge and enter to win some I Am Roses products!

The rules are included on the I Am Roses challenge blog, so be sure to head on over to check it out... and while you're there, get some inspiration from the I Am Roses designers where they created samples of some HALLOWEEN CIRCLE CARDS to share with you!

Here are photos of the Halloween circle card I created for the challenge:



I Am Roses flowers up close.... LOVE the new colored daisies (product links included below.)





Inside the card...

Here's a picture of the card laid open... I did not put anything "dimensional" on the bottom circle, otherwise the card wouldn't close. LOL! TIP: If you plan on mailing the card to someone, use one of those USPS boxes intended for DVD's/CD's or a small flat rate box. The card fits nicely and won't get smashed during shipping. :-)

Now head on over to the I Am Roses challenge blog to learn more about how you can enter to win some I Am Roses products! It's that simple! :-)

hugs!!

A Special Birthday and card!

Hi everyone! Today we are celebrating a VERY special birthday!

Graphic 45's one and only Diane Schultz is celebrating her birthday today and some of the Graphic 45 designers are excited to share some birthday cards that were created especially for Diane. Be sure to check out the Graphic 45 blog to join the birthday celebration and grab some Graphic 45 inspiration while you're over there! ❤

Here is the tri-fold card I created for Diane using the new Nutcracker Sweet paper collection. It's not just for Christmas you know! :-) There are lots of fun pinks and purples in this collection which provides heaps of versatility for your projects.

Here are some pictures, but check out my video below for an up-close look and details of how this card came together...



I added Diamond Stickles to give the images some "sparkle"...



I inserted a picture that I took with Diane in the Graphic 45 booth at Winter CHA 2012 in January...

Tropical Travelogue "Summer 2011" Scrapbook Page

Hi everyone! WOW! It's been some time since I posted here on my blog... life has really taken a hold of me! But I'm happy to be back and I'm even more excited to share my latest Graphic 45 project with you!

I created this scrapbook page of a photo taken of my husband at Santa Cruz beach in California. We are both California natives and the beach is our home away from home! Beach volleyball is one of my husband's joys, so Summers are always anticipated!

I used Graphic 45's Tropical Travelogue papers, coordinating embellishments and Staples. A full article of this project can be found on the Graphic 45 blog. But here are a couple of sneak peeks...



Here's a video tutorial showing you how this scrapbook page came together from beginning to end...


Hope to see you over at the Graphic 45 blog for more!

hugs!
