Graphic 45 Design Team 2012 Audition

This is a wreath made out of a cardboard base and rolled 

up paper from the Tropical Travelogue Collection.

 

This elegant Merry-Go-Round was made completely with paper. The paper collection I used is Curtain Call. I had fun with this as I designed and created it from concept to completion. To put my own twist on it, instead of horses, I used beautiful metal pieces to create more elegance. The peacock feathers in the center are like eyes looking out from behind the mirrors.

This was also a fun project to do mixing a little paper mache with papercrafting. I used the same papers as the Merry Go Round, but used different sides of the paper collection.  This project took several days for the paper mache to dry.  I challenged myself to try something different in this project and I really like the results ! On each side of the basket, I used a different paper scene on each side, so I show a view of the four sides.

 My favorite photo subject is Kayleigh,my first and only Grand-child.  Instead of doing a traditional scrapbook layout, I decided to put it on canvas.  I love the results and this paper collection is also one of my favorites called...
Once Upon A Springtime.

 

My Dad is my hero, so he was the perfect subject for this project.  I created a magnet board using Once Upon A Springtime.   I added a clip for a photo, and flower magnets to create some movement.  This is great for your home or your desk. I love creating functional crafts!

This is an altered Tim Holtz trinket case. The paper collection is from Once Upon A Springtime.  I used different techniques to cover all five sides of the box.
