The next few days the Graphic 45 blog will be featuring Core’dinations Core Impressions/Graphic 45 Timeless Collection.
I created this layout with the new Core’dinations paper and Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante.
I love how the Steampunk line always pushes my creativity.
I also created a card with the same papers.
Be sure to stop by the Graphic 45 Blog this week and check out all that the G45 Design Team has created.

I’m loving the new Steampunk Debutante line

Here is yet another project that I created for
CHA Summer 2010
(Craft and Hobby Association Trade Show in Chicago).
I only had a few days to put some projects together
and then send them off for CHA.
My assignments included a banner, 3 layouts
and a pop-up card.
A pop-up card?
That’s another post for another day.
Included in my Design Team Package
was a couple of the new Graphic 45 Envelope Albums.
I was instructed to create an album after I had finished with my assignments
and only if there was still time.
I was so excited about the albums…
so much so that I had a hard time coming up with Layout ideas.
I made time to create a little mini album.
Even if I was up until 2am the night before I had to mail my projects off.
2 am, schmoo-am.
I enjoyed making this little mini.
It’s not my typical style,
so it was fun to just play with paper.
I included some fun quotes.
And generally just had a good time.
I went to town with my scissors.
This little book makes me happy.
Scrapbooking makes me happy.
Creating something new makes me happy.
I guess you could say that I am one happy lady.
I
Happy is good.
Since CHA is well underway
and my projects are being viewed by the masses (haha).
I thought it would be OK to start sharing here on my blog.
I’m loving the new embellishments that Graphic 45 came out with.
Chipboard Flowers and Buttons are so versatile.
It doesn’t hurt that I get to play with my Shimmerz product too.
I spritzed the Graphic 45 flowers and buttons with Jeni B Blue.
I also used the new Graphic 45 trims and Letter Stickers
on this ‘Lil Darlin’ Layout.
The new Steampunk Debutante Line is so vibrant and beautiful!
I love working with it.
I used my sewing machine to “quilt” this layout, although, you can barely make it out…
The thread is the same color as the background paper.

I’ve spent the weekend preparing kits for my Class in California.
And finishing up the final touches on the projects I’m sending in for
the Graphic 45 booth at CHA.
Here’s a little sneak peek at one of the projects I created using their new line,
Steampunk Debutante:
I mail off all my projects tomorrow morning,
after which,
I will take a deep breath
and
a long nap.

My kids have been pretty cooped up the past several days.
Poor dears have suffered a bit while I’ve been busy creating.
Bad mom.
Last night I suggested we spend the evening at the Lake.
The kids were so excited (to leave the front yard).
Marley kind of liked the Lake too…
He’s a good dog.
I hope you’re enjoying your Summer!
