Final Project Submissions for G45's 2012 Open Design Team Call

Hi everyone! I'm super excited to share the projects I created for the final round of Graphic 45's Open Design Team call for 2012. I had so much fun creating these projects and working with the Tropical Travelogue and An ABC Primer paper collections. These are definitely 2 of my favorites... but who am I kidding, I love everything Graphic 45! ❤

First up is this altered shadow box. I used a crackle paint technique on the box, did a ton of fussy cutting with the paper collection, used a bunch of dimensionals and went at it! So much fun! Here are some pics...

Next up is this 12x12 layout that I created of my son Dylan's first day at Kindergarten. I used Graphic 45's An ABC Primer. This paper collection is perfect for scrapping those school photos of your children. The colors are amazing and I love all the little tags and images that come in the collection. Here are some pics of the layout I created...

My last project is this altered wagon and mini album. A few weeks ago, my BFF Bona took me to an antique shop near the hotel where our crop was hosted. I found so many little treasures including this little "seedling" wagon. This little wagon used to be a little seed planter. I sanded it down and stained it with my Lindy Stamp Gang Starburst Stains then accented it with An ABC Primer papers and chipboard pieces and some I Am Roses flowers. The mini album fits nicely inside and it contains lots of fun tags and pockets with tons of space for photos and journaling. I'm including a few pictures below, but be sure to check out the video where you can get a full glimpse of this project...
