Last Friday, Graphic 45 announced their Top 30 Finalists…..and yours truly made the list! I still can’t believe my lucky stars! I’m so thrilled and honoured to make it this far….who knows what will happen on March 30 when the Final DT is announced, but for now I’m very very happy 🙂
Here is the post on the G45 Blog announcing the finalists…..all their blogs are linked, and I highly recommend checking out these super talented and creative crafters. The projects you’ll see will amaze you!
Another blog post worth checking out is on the Canadian Scrapbooker magazine website (Editor Jackie’s blog) where you will find my tutorial on how to use DCWV Fabric Paper to make a card.
 |
| This card is made ONLY with DCWV Fabric paper on a white cardstock base. And the vintage button is Tim Holtz. |
This self-adhesive Fabric Paper is soooo cool and super easy to design with.

| Don’t you just love the blue and brown colour palette? |
I also made a similar flower for this heritage page of my mother’s class at school, using Graphic 45’s ABC Primer collection.

| “School Days” published in the Spring 2012 issue |
My mom is the girl with the dark pinafore dress standing beside the last girl seated in the front row on the right. I am so blessed that my mother was a scrapbooker in the days of albums with black pages and photo corners. Now I have many wonderful heritage photos to design with…..they are very precious to me 🙂
So if you feel like making a simple but pretty flower, head over to my Canadian Scrapbooker blog post tutorial, pick up some DCWV Fabric Paper and and get started!

You are a talented artist and it is great to see those talents recognized by the paper companies like Graphic 45 as well as the scrapbook publishers like Canadian Scrapbooker. I am keeping my fingers crossed that you make the final design team. In the meantime, keep posting all your beautiful work.

I’m constantly amazed by the G45 projects you feature here. Like this one! LOVE the “school days” layout. So creative. The little girl peeking over the photo is just the cutest touch. As for your card, it’s delightful. I’ve never heard of fabric paper but now I want some! Enabler!
