I Like My Paper Vintage!  Need I say more?

How about a Farmtown Cake?

My daughter had her sweet sixteen today!  We decided to do a farmtown cake, because I have farmtown rubber stamps and really want to use them on a layout!!! LOL

 

 

Here is a screen shot of me taking care of the animals on the farm, if you look close you will see that I have all my sheep trained to line up! LOL!

OMG! You have to see the new sneaks of Graphic45 Paper!

Here it is in all its glory....

Drum Roll Please...
So here it is!  A little sneak on the upcoming Summer CHA releases here the signature page from each collection.  We really hope that you like them.

The Domestic Goddess Collection is a playful celebration of women's traditional roles drawn from the days when they proudly wore aprons and vied for blue ribbons at the county fair.  Designs featuring a rich mix of reds, yellows, blues, and greens, were inspired by vintage tea towels, table linens, food labels, and images of cooking, sewing, laundry, and other household chores.  For collage, paper crafting, cards and layouts, this collection is endlessly versatile, offering a smile and a nod to the Domestic Goddess in all of us.

 

The Renaissance Faire Collection is a sophisticated journey to the golden age of fabulous art, music, and literature.  Designs combine famous paintings, architectural elements, opulent textiles, wallpaper, and old text to create images worthy of royalty.  An antiqued jewel tone color palette adds to the elegance of the motifs and patterns. This beautiful collection is perfect for collage and paper crafting, holidays, weddings, special occasions, heritage projects, card making and more.  Renaissance Faire offers a fresh approach to timeless treasures.

 

The Christmas Past Collection evokes memories of Grandma’s house, with the heady fragrance of gingerbread baking in the kitchen, a Christmas tree decked out in its holiday best, and carolers at the door. Angels, heirloom ornaments, Rudolph, Santa and the elves— they're all here, wrapped in a heartwarming color palette of red, green and gold with the patina of age.  Holiday images seeped in Christmas Past—a terrific way to share and celebrate Christmas Present.

 

And if that were not enough, we will be releasing our three new collections in paper pads that contain each paper and a die cut set!  All three collection will be available and shipping early August!
