MORE Graphic 45 Papers

Hello again.  Well, I just finished taking pics of the remainder of the year using A Place in Time by Graphic 45.  Just an FYI -- there are a LOT of pictures in this post, so you  might want to grab a cuppa before you start.

For the first picture, I'm showing the missing March project that I had left at the store.  And here it is...  This is actually two Z-fold cards placed together.

March opened up -- note how the center back looks by putting the two "Z" folds together.

This next one is June and happens to be a favorite of mine.  Just something about the softness of the colors -- oh heck, I just love the whole premise of June wedding!

I added some embossed cream cardstock to enhance these luscious colors.

This is actually a book using pleated card stock in the center to contain the pages.

Last page of June.

On to summer!  Here's July.  I'm not normally a huge fan of patriotic stuff (is that blasphemy?) -- don't get me wrong, I love my country, but sometimes the red, white and blue are so overdone.  I love what Graphic 45 did with their colors and choices of images.  So, this turned out to be a particularly fun one to do.  It really challenged me to create a very different folded card as you will see by the following open pages.  This card has a belly band as did some of my others in a previous post.

Opened to the first page...

Then flipped up to reveal more fantastic images!

Now this next one, August, is so totally different that I even surprised myself.  Keep in mind that this folds completely flat and is still an A2 size card (as are all of them except September).

This is either the front or the back -- it makes no difference as you will see.

Here's one side...

The reverse side...

The last short side...

Here's a view of the card looking down onto it.  I don't know what to call this fold, but it is one of the most fun folds I've used in a long time.  I simply put two of these together to form one complete card.

And here's September -- this fits in a #10 envelope.

And here's September opened.  I created little paper bag pockets out of actual paper bags and deckled the tops.  I then used existing tags on the sheet and inserted them in the bags.  Believe it or not, I used almost every image on this particular sheet.  

And here's November.  I made all separate pages and attached it with an "O" ring and hung a tag off the side (not too visible).

And last, but not least, Christmas!  Once again I created the book style using an accordion folded center to hold the pages (same as June, but different orientation)...

Well, that's all they wrote, folks!  I don't know when I enjoyed doing something this much.  Part of it was because I FINALLY had some time to just sit and create without pressure for a deadline or a blog post.  I hope you've enjoyed seeing these as much as I've enjoyed showing them to you.

Ciao for now!

Ciao Bella!
