| French Clock - Various Collections by Graphic 45 |
How time flies. A whole year's gone by since I applied to join the design team for what is reputedly one of the most respected family run paper crafting companies in the crafting world. I remember not being able to look at that final DT list for ages and was blown away when I eventually took a peek and saw I'd made it :-). Thanks Diane, Amie, Charee, for giving me such a fabulous opportunity. It's been an amazing fun filled year of creativity during which I've worked along side my fabulously talented teamies, met loads of like minded crafters and hopefully inspired others to cut into their Graphic 45 papers and make gorgeous projects and gifts.
Now the year is nearing its end and the call for a new design team has been announced I've decided to enter again, so with fingers crossed here's a selection of my projects, some old, some new, none borrowed and one blue :-) ..........................

ReplyDeleteWow, Clare: I think it's a given you're a "shoo-in." For me, just standing by watching the creativity that flows from you inspiring others to achieve higher skill to carry off the love in crafting we wish to share with others -- well, that's a total blessing. Hope you go into it another year. Your projects speak for themselves, and loud at that! G45 need look no further than right here. Go girlfriend! Hugs from across the pond, Ruth Ann :) XO

ReplyDeleteIt's funny how we all bemoan not being able to obtain crafting items where eachof us live, and I hear that most often from crafters in the UK, but you are proof that you can get anything you desire - your work shows that. Julie
