Graphic 45 . . .

has started showing some of their new fabulous CHA summer releases. 

I am so excited about the line shown today called

An ABC Primer

 

The colors in this line are so rich and the designs so beautiful that I can hardly stand it. You know the feeling . . . when you get something new and it's a lot of one thing and you just don't know what to pick up first.  I've been ooohing and ahhhing for a week.  Fondling fits in there someplace as well.

These papers are gorgeous!

See more on the Graphic 45 blog today . . . and more showings all week long.

Ooohhhh, I can't wait until you see the rest!

Freedom . . .

 

Simon Says . . .

use a flourish!

Today (July 4) is Independence Day in the States, which of course got me thinking in shades of red, white & blue.

 

For this challenge, I turned to a package of Tim Holtz Grungeboard Elements and chose a flourish from that package. Adding to the card front, I combined red, white & blue Graphic 45's Playtimes Past with several other papers from Graphic 45's collections.  Miss Liberty, for example, is from Graphic 45's Communique.  Bling was added to the Grungeboard flourish with Metallic Rub-Ons.

 

Now it's your turn to play along this week with Simon Says Stamp & Show's challenge

for this week's challenge

on

Simon Says Stamp & Show Challenge Blog.

 

 

Except for . . .

designing for Simon Says Stamp & Show each week

it's going to be getting pretty quiet around here.

The Graphic 45 Design Team just received the new lines designed by talented Diane

and they are

AMAZING

INSPIRING

and

OH SO DELICIOUS!

I am so in love with the new lines and goodies from G45 that it's hard for me to

keep a secret.

 

But I have to.

At least until the new lines and our projects are shown at CHA-S.

The entire Design Team is busy, busy designing new projects to be shown in Chicago at the end of this month.  All of our projects have to be completed and to the Graphic 45 offices by July 12.

YIKES.  I better get busy and off this computer.

So, assuming I'm going to be hard at work the next few days

(and quiet for a change)

I thought a give-away would be the thing for me to do.

And since I'm a stamper and always encouraging you to post on the

Simon Says Stamp & Show challenge blog . . .

and since they have Graphic 45 products . . .

 

and so does For Keeps Sake (my home store and where I teach) . . .

 

Post below and let me know what your guess is for the new Graphic 45 paper lines

(hey, you know you're trying to guess anyway, so you might as well post)

Postings will close on Thursday, July 7 at midnight Central Time
