Graphic 45 Design Team Audition 2015

Time is come for the design team call ! During the past years I was looking at the beautiful projects made by creative artists, and this year I said "why not trying ?" I see this opportunity to challenge myself first because Graphic 45 and their gorgeous papers give us the chance to let our imagination fly without limits. To be a member of the design team sounds like a dream at the idea to play with those papers and it's a big boost in the creativity sense and ideas. Just the idea to participate to the contest is something exciting and a very good experience !

So here are my four projects for the design team call :

Gazebo using "Secret Garden" line

Jewlery box using "Couture" line

Pincushion using "Couture" line

Inivitation card using "Time to Celebrate" line 

March DT project for ThePieceByPiece

For this month I wanted to do something different from what I usually do, as I use a lot of pastel and white tones. So my choice gone on a skinny mini using the Typography paper from G45, this line is just perfect as a combination with the gorgeous Venetian black trims who was waiting to be use! The perfect wedding with the vintage look of the paper design! This kind of album is really easy to do and you can just play along with the layout and use lace as a belly pockets or for ornate the paper ones. And it's a compact album, easy to store!

Here are the pictures of the pages:

February DT project for ThePieceByPiece

Let's get in a spring mood with the second project I made for ThePieceByPiece!
For this second one, I wanted to do something related to spring, so I decided to work on an altered natural basket. I have used the Secret Garden line from Graphic 45, who is one of my favorite, and the tones of the paper are just perfectly assorted with the trims and bead gems.
I wanted to obtain a beautiful and colorful bouquet on the top. For the inside I have used the paper as well and one of the gorgeous Venice trim. I also made a pocket from the lace, so tags can be store in. I was planning to use this basket for store my altered dominoes but I think it will be a good idea to make a assorted mini album full of lace and spring touch. I keep the idea in mind and will give it a try.

And here are the pictures:

For my next project, I can tell you it will be something in red and black tones with a french atmosphere.

Won auctions at a great price!!/Enchères gagnées à un bon prix!!

Just received the design papers, flowers, pins and the settings and holders I won on Yahoo Auctions Japan, the whole lot around 4500 yens ($45), I'm pretty happy with this because design paper from US is so hard to find in Japan and expensive!!

So there is 6x6 and 8x8 pads from Prima, Bo Bunny, Graphic45 (wanted the Secret Garden so much!) and the Mariposa is really beautiful. And the seller added some die cuts as a gift!

Juste reçu les papiers, fleurs, aiguilles et les apprêts gagnés sur Yahoo Auctions Japan, le tout m'est revenu à 40 euros, je suis plutôt contente car les papiers américains sont si chers et durs à trouver au Japon!!

Il y a donc des blocs en 6x6 et 8x8 de Prima, Bo Bunny et Graphic 45 (je voulais tellement Secret Garden!) ainsi que le magnifique Mariposa de DCVW, et le vendeur m'a ajouté quelques die cuts en cadeau!
