It has been a crazy week in my house since I decided to try out for the G45 design team. Not only did I decide to try out - I thought (why??) that I would create all new projects with the items already in my stash!
I love repurposing items and I had some goodies from my local charity shops.
My vintage inspired collection.
This was a wooden cutlery drawer - love it as wall art!
The plastic cotton reels were inked to look old and covered in G45 paper.
Another charity shop find - a photo frame restyled.
I created the flowers on all the projects from G45 papers and Kraft paper.
A restyled letter rack - love my charity shop!
Mini books featuring the tags from the Transatlantique collections and the G45 sticker sheet.
Notebooks altered with the Curtain Call collection and more fabulous stickers.
Tag Book created with recylced card and black and creme papers from various collections.
Everyone needs a secret drawer!
I love the little secret inside the love letters - it is tiny. Approx 1" x 3"
My new Paper bag mini - vintage inspired on the outside.....
Full of fabulous graphics and colour on the inside!
I created this tag tree fom a coffee mug tree. Love this idea and I am hunting for more of them. Wouldn't this look great decorated for the various seasons - and if you find them at your local charity shop it is great for the budget too!
I love TPR mini books - I created this with 1 sheet of G45 stickers, 1 pack of G45 chipboard buttons, and 1 pack of G45 chipboard flowers.
My first altered book - fabulous to make. Vintage style on the outside...
And the gorgeous steampunk debutante on the inside.
I hinged all the doors and added lots of hidden pockets and movement.
Door after door!
Love all the movement on this page - flick to the next photo to see it swing!
Gotta love a leg with a kick to it!
See through window
I loved making these projects. I have used many different paper lines from Graphic 45 with vintage treasures from my family. They will be enjoyed in my home for a long time to come.
Thank you for looking and Thank you to Graphic 45 for the inspiration to create these treasures.
I hope you like them - I do!!
