Simple Home Decor with Graphic 45

Simple Home Decor with Graphic 45 
If your a G45 er you'll know that the gorgeous papers Diane and the team design are great to use to up cycle home decor pieces.  Simple projects are just as effective as those that have all the bells and whistles added :-).  Here's a wooden key cabinet I altered using two 8 x 8 papers from the French Country Collection and inky pool PaperArtsy fresco finish chalk acrylic paint.  It matched the inky blues in the paper perfectly.  It really doesn't take too long to transform an item into something you'd like to have around the home either.  


Happy paper crafting everyone :-)

    Hi Clare, Ohhhhhh, I love this key cabinet, and the gorgeous French Country papers are perfect for this project, and the Paper Artsy acrylic paint complements so perfectly. Stunning work, as always.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

    Clare I have a similar cabinet and pestered my Scrapbook Store to get in the French Country Papers to use on it. I haven't started it yet but can't wait now that I have seen yours! I just love your work and I love listening to you on your videos, volume just needs to be a bit louder sometimes but you know how electronic, techie stuff is, lol!! Thank you for your designs and instruction!

For those of you unfamiliar with our isle, Wales is full of magnificent Castles, sandy beaches, picturesque scenery and a gorgeous coastline.  I had to have a quick pit stop to see Raglan Castle.
