Halloween in Wonderland Cake Stand |
I've been looking back over some of the projects I've made over the last two years, and following on from yesterdays theme I thought I'd share one of the projects from my journey down memory lane with you. This was one of my Graphic 45 DT round 1 entries back in Feb 2012. I can't believe how quickly the last two years have gone and it was great fun looking back through all the projects and seeing how my creative style has changed too.
This little ensemble was made from a cardboard Christmas cake stand and Halloween candelabra I picked up for next to nothing in a sale, one toilet roll, devoid of paper and of course the fabulously wicked Halloween in Wonderland papers. Some of the first I bought from Wendy at the Stamp Attic. I loved that collection and still have a secret stash of them tucked away. Here's some close ups of the top decoration.
I was wondering how many Graphic 45 collections have had the colour purple in them. If you know the answer just leave a comment below. All Comments with the correct answer will go into the draw for this months giveaway which is one of my album packs and an 8 x 8 Mother Goose paper pad. The winner will be announced here on the blog on 31st May.
Good luck if you're entering. Do call back tomorrow, when I'll be sharing some of the fabulous samples made my lovely friends Lyn Jones and Karen Richards for the Graphic 45 Create and Craft show at the end of April. With three counters to fill with samples it was great to have their help this time.
Enjoy the rest of your day and look forward to catching up again tomorrow.
Hello Clare, well it isn't May 8th yet here, lol, but loved looking at your Halloween candelabra/cakestand!! My guess is maybe 5 Graphic 45 Collections have purple in them!!! Not sure, just thought about what ones I had and knew about, possibly there are more!!!!

Clare....I don't need to be entered into the drawing...I just want to say how very much I will miss your beautiful work on the G45 team. You created projects that were absolutely divine...and do-able..and affordable. I shall miss that very much. Fortunately I follow your blog, so I will stay connected. I just love your work and your creative spirit inspires me! Best wishes for the future!
ReplyDeleteHi Clare, I'd say 2 or 3 I only have 7 pads in my collection. Hugs Rita x
ReplyDeleteHi Clare, A really lovely 'trip down memory lane', this was one of my most favourite collections, I wish we could still get it, I am an 'Alice in Wonderland-aholic' and I just adore this collection.
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx
I think it's 6 collections that have purple in them, both light and dark
ReplyDeleteGood Evening Clare, I just love this project - particularly the floating hand that looks as if it's showing its "hand" by dropping the cards. Fab! Although I'm a relative newcomer to Graphic 45 and only have about 3,4...well OK 7,8 sets of their collections I think I'll take a guess at 4 containing the colour purple. I'm off to bed now but thanks for sharing this with us and I look forward to your next "show and tell". Take care

I love your Halloween cake stand Clare; you are really into cake stands lately. I haven't a clue about how many purples there are in the G45 paper pads as I have never seen them all but I'll take a stab at it and say 10. I have 3 collections at present and they all have purple in them. Enjoy your weekend. Hugs Pauline A x
ReplyDeleteAs a beginner, this isn't easy, but I guess 8... Love how you made your cake stand!
ReplyDeleteHi Clare- Ive found some more so can I alter my oroginal guess please? I now think its twelve? A definate ten but two with a purply blue shade lol XX
ReplyDeleteI bellieve in 9. Thanks
ReplyDeleteOh dear, that's difficult, but I would say 13.

ReplyDeleteHi Clare, Love what you did with the Wonderland paper in your project… all those cards cascading down! I wish that collection were still available. It's my favorite to date. I'll take a guess that there are 8 G45 collections with purple. This includes the just released this month ~ An Eerie Tale. That may throw the numbers off on people's guesses, since it may not yet be released in every country, but it's available where I am so I'm throwing it in too. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveAway! ~Lynn ~
I think there were 8 collections with shades of purple. Love the Halloween art Clare.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is 4, thank you for the generous prize opportunity....Bobbie
ReplyDeleteMy guess is 6.....thank you for chance and waiting to get response from you on April :-)
ReplyDeletethere are 6 collections (new and old), 7 if you count the core'dinations paper that goes with all the collections. Thanks for the chance to win and I love all your videos and tutorials. Keep inspiring all of us!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is 6 : Sweet Sentiments, Botanical Tea, Secret Garden, A Place in Time, Happy Haunting and Bird Song.Plus the core-dinations papers.
ReplyDeleteI had to go and look at the ones I had which is not all of them....so I have to just guess and say 7 which is my lucky number.
ReplyDeleteThis was a treat to see this older project. Thank you! Jonnie
I'm just now beginning my collection of g45. I would love to add this one in the lot. I will have to guess 8

I think there are 8 collections or 9 if you count Eerie Tale which is not out yet. Your work has always been unique and
ReplyDeleteyour use of Graphic 45 is always inspiring.

ReplyDeleteYour work is so well done and you truly do have a creative spirit. Thanks for all your tutorials. I believe there are 6 graphic 45 collections that have at least a little purple in them. The three with the most is: Sweet Sentiments, Secret Garden and A Place in Time, but there is a little purple in Bird song, Happy haunting and Nut cracker sweet. So I guess my answer is 6
ReplyDeleteI tried thinking of all the collections and did some googling! I think there is 8! thanks for all your great videos!
ReplyDeleteI think that only four of them have purple. Thanks for the chance to win this wonderful prize.
ReplyDeleteI can only think of 4 at the moment I've only been using graphic 45 for alittle over a year
ReplyDeleteI don't really know graphic45 so I'll guess 6 thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is 10

ReplyDeleteI Love your Halloween in Wonderland cakestand!!! That was such an amazing collection! I wish it was still available as it can out before I started papercrafting. I have only been papercrafting for a about a year and a half. Thank you so much for all of your amazing inspiration!! I love all of your designs!
ReplyDeleteLoving the candelabra,what a great chance to have a work of art,Georgina z
ReplyDeleteBeautiful... I love graphic 45 paper. My guess is 4
ReplyDeleteHi, Clare~ This is a tough question since there are so many beautiful shades of purple that pop up unexpectedly in so many of the Graphic 45 designs. I think I will say 13, though, since it seems an appropriately spooky number. lol!
ReplyDeleteI have a few of G45's lovely collections and many seem to have a splash of purple somewhere, so I'm going to guess at 11.
