Graphic 45 'French Country' Chalkboard and Shadow Box Set

Here is the project I created as a Guest Designer for Craft Warehouse. It was so much fun to play with all the Graphic 45 goodies they sent me and also a challenge to come up with something original and easy to do for the average crafty person.
The paper line along with the matching chipboard, stickers, banners and tags are to die for. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it.

Check out the Craft Warehouse Blog at  http://shopcraftwarehouse.blogspot.com/ for a list of supplies and instructions as well as step by step photos. Be sure to leave a comment on the Craft Warehouse Blog and this blog if you like it.

Happy Crafting ;-)



**** All of the products used to create this project are
        available at Craft Warehouse.

**    A note of thanks to Paula Kay (aka Bing) for putting up
       with my creative process and to my sister
       Jeanette and niece Hannah for patiently waiting
       for me to finish this project during my visit.
       Love you all.

Craft Warehouse Goodies

I have been beyond excited to get the chance to create and inspire other artists for my favorite store, and when I say 'favorite' I mean kid in a candy store with her nose stuck to the glass case kind of favorite.

My time has finally come to be the Guest Designer this month for Craft Warehouse. When I received my box of goodies in the mail I opened it with all the excitement and anticipation of a 5 year old on Christmas morning. I pulled back the top of the box to reveal scrunched up paper that could be covering anything....



My mind was racing with 'what if' and 'I wonder'. Just about anything could be under that paper...

I slowly removed the paper, not sure of what I would find. The waiting is killing me... It's a bag!


Slowly I open the bag and let out a little gasp... G45 French Country paper line with all the bells and whistles, Color Me Crazy flowers by Petaloo, Embossing Folder by Darice, 1 large wooden tray and 4 small trays YES!!!! There is a crafting angel up there watching over me (thanks Mom, wink-wink).






I'm not sure what I will make with all these wonderful goodies but the possibilities are endless. One thing is certain, I'll be posting pictures of my finished project as soon as I'm done. 

A 'BIG" thank you to Jen Evans at Craft Warehouse for helping to feed my G45 addiction.
