Graphic45 ATC & Tag

Made ATC & Tag with Graphic45 new Paper Collection ABC Primer
It is sooo gorgeous.
(This picture is awful will take another in the morning)
this looks a bit better !!

ATC has been covered in Rock Candy Crackle
VJS Flower Brass Small

In the tag I have used Graphic45 Core'dinations Hermit Clocks Black
RP Clock Brass
Tim Holtz Rock Candy Crackle

Another couple ATC's

I haven't made ATC's for ages.
have mixed feelings about making them
It is difficult for me to work on "small things"
I have no patience !!
When I am creating an ATC I have the
problem of when to stop adding stuff.
Also because they only take such a short time to make
it's like, is that it ???
Anyway here are another couple & am off to
make some more.
Got the bug now.

These 2 were made using -
Collections Elements Tissue Paper
Collections Elements Labels
Tim Holtz Distress Stains 
Darkroom Door Filmstrip Paris
MOS Designs Federation Border 1
Muslin
AS Eiffel Tower

Putting on the Ritz

As soon as I saw this layout by Nicole Eccles on the Graphic45 Blog I knew exactly
what picture I wanted to use.
This is a picture of my parents & their friends out at a club or pub circa 1949.

Papers used are a combination of Le Cirque & Curtain Call.
I love how these papers blend so well together

2nd Collections Elements Project

Just finished the project from the second class we took on Saturday with Julie Van Oosten
"Collection Box"

Mine is a little different again from Julie's

Collection Elements

The last few days I have been playing around with Collection Elements.
My order arrived Thursday with most of the new products Julie van Oosten has released.
First project was an album for my sister, Debbie, it was her birthday on Friday.
I made her a small accordion album & I put it in a paper mache book box.

 On Saturday I attended a workshop with Julie Van Oosten & 3 of my BFF's, Julie, Jayne & Wendy.
We made the new Printers Trays.
I really enjoyed this class, I don't normally do small projects, but I am happy with the finished product.
Mine is a little different from the class example.

Le Cirque Album

Finally finished my Le Cirque Album including photos, yes, that's right I have actually put pics in this one !!!!
This is the one Graphic 45 girls taught at Creative Block.
I have gone off on mine own tangent of course, so is a bit different from the class one.
Hope you like it, I must say I am happy with it.

 On the front cover I have used Alcohol Ink, Red Pepper to colour the G45 Staples Metal Flower
Then I have covered it in Crackle Accents - looks great !!
