Windy Tree

This is the final card in the Graphic 45  September A Place in Time card set.  It is also my favorite one from the set.  Sometimes it's nice to make a card that is not a traditional shape.

Don't you just love that cute little tree?  It's the Windy Tree Die from Taylored Expressions.  It is definitely on my wishlist now.

This was such a fun class and I love all the new cards I have to send out to family and friends.

Until next time. . .happy creating! 

Daydreaming at My Desk

Graphic 45 papers are wonderful.  You can get them in 12x12 paper pads or 8x8 paper pads.  They lends themselves beautifully to a vintage look.  If you haven't seen their new Christmas paper, The Twelve Days of Christmas, be sure to visit their blog.  I fell in love with it the minute I saw it.  But, for now, back to another card from the September A Place in Time card class.

I loved this image of the student leaning on his book daydreaming.  What do you suppose he is thinking about?  I think it made a great Thinking of You card.

Until next time. . .happy creating!

A Graphic 45 School House

Since the theme for the card class was about school or Autumn, I thought this little school house was a cute addition to this card.  So many of our friendships began during those school days.  While I didn't spend any time in a one room school, I remember my grandmother and mom talking about it.  The sentiment inside the card reads as follows:

As long as we have memories,

yesterday remains.

As long as we have hope,

tomorrow awaits.

As long as we have friendship,

today is beautiful.

The colors from A Place in Time from Graphic 45 are wonderful and so reminiscent of Fall.  The remind me of the cool, crisp days that will soon be upon us. 

Until next time. . .happy creating!

A New Graphic 45 A Place in Time Card

Today was class night at Memory Bound for the September Graphic 45 Card Set.  Janet, our instructor, came up with more beautiful designs.  She makes it so easy to be creative.  It was so much fun!  Where else can you make fantastic cards and get rewarded with chocolate?  We all had a great time and came away with six new cards to send to family and friends.

With school back in session and Autumn just around the corner, these cards are perfect for the time of year.  I wasn't able to get a group picture, so over the next several days I'll showcase each card.  I'm already looking forward to next month's class.

Until next time. . .happy creating!

Graphic 45 May Card

There has been so much going on around here lately that I have fallen way behind in my posting here.  If I would sit down and finish up the started projects, I'd probably have enough to keep me posting through the rest of the year!  Well, not quite that many but I do need to get them finished up.  For now I'm going to share another Graphic 45 card I made in the May card set.  The May set is so far my favorite but I think that is just a color thing.  I love the Graphic 45 A Place in Time paper.

Gorgeous colors!  I love the doves at the window.  Hopefully, Monday I can share a page I'm making for an album I'm doing about my brother, Larry.  I purchased a new stamp and die set from Taylored Expressions because it a perfect fit for the album.
