Craft yourself a funky photo wallet

Safari Adventure Photo Wallet Clare Charvill Graphic 45

Good morning and a very happy Sunday to you. It's all quiet here, kiddiwinks are still fast alseep so I thought I'd grab a coffee and do a bit of blogging. Its been a fun week and now my laptop is back, up and running I've been on a roll with projects and videos. We've had happy mail arrive too all the way from Portland Oregon.

Before I share todays' project with you I must send huge thanks to Diane, Charee, Aimee and all the team at Graphic 45 for packing up and sending the awesome amount of products that have just arrived all the way from Portland, Oregon. I've shared them all in a video over on You Tube (link below) so you can see the fabulous range of goodies that we can craft with and will be sharing some crafty ideas on how to use some of them over the coming months too.

Now for todays project. I was having a mouch through some old projects, came across the Christmas themed photo wallet I made way back and thought I"d create an updated version using the Safari Adventure collection from G45. I've added a wider side to give more room inside and had a load of fun snipping into these gorgeous papers - only after stroking them of course lol!!! I'm loving the Tiger in the collection, and just had to use him on the front cover. Of course you could make the project in any papers - I'm just a G45 a holic lol!!!! - really I hear you saying..........! Here's a few pics of the finished wallet and video links (down below) to the 2 videos if you fancy making one yourself.

Saw my first Dragon too :-) After a journey that took me across the middle of the country and th...
