CHA Reveals from Graphic 45!

Happy Wednesday!  I've been flying solo since Monday morning - my hubby and brother in law took the kids camping for a few days so I've had the entire first part of this week all to myself.  Bliss.  Have to admit I miss them terribly and have done nothing but tidy up the house, clean bathrooms, do laundry, cut the lawn, etc. but it was quite overdue!

I am excited to share with you a few pieces I created using the NEW collection from Graphic 45 - Happy Haunting!  These tags were super fun to create and the vintage images were so lovely to work with. The beautiful ribbons are from May Arts and compliment the papers just wonderfully.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your week. Thanks so much for stopping by today - until next time!

10-Minute Card Challenge

This month's challenge over at the Graphic 45 blog is all about fast and beautiful cards!  Read the details about this fun and inspirational challenge below. This is a great way to get your creative gears turning!

To help get you started, I've created a simple card sketch below as well as a quick and easy card using Graphic 45's Ladies' Diary Collection.

Although this may seem a little more intricate than a 10 min card, I simply placed several, distressed layers upon one another and cut out one of the images from the Ladies' Diary Collection.  That's it!

To add a little more dimension, I crumpled up a sheet of newsprint and glued it under my main image and then tucked in a little tag on either side and completed with chipboard elements.
