Graphic 45 Fairie Wings

Monday - July 13, 2020

Hi Scrappy Friends,

This is Dolores, posting for the first time on the blog this week. Please bear with me this is a whole new learning experience for me. But, there's a first time for everything and I'm very excited to be here.

 I wanted to share a few projects with you that I have been working on, with the new Graphic 45 - Fairie Wings line. I have to admit Graphic 45 is my 'favorite' all time product. I have never been disappointed with any line they have ever released. Fairie Wings is my newest favorite. The colors and florals are beautiful.  The Fairy theme, well it could have been designed especially for my 3 year old granddaughter Elizabeth, who pretends to be a Fairy everyday. 

I did a layout page using the printed paper, stickers, chipboard, and the journal cards. The chipboard made perfect frames for my smaller photos. I also added in some 49 and Market and Kaisercraft flowers. To give the flowers a little sparkle I painted them with the Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel. It is perfect for sugar coating the flowers. You can see the difference it made in them. I used the 49 and Market Wishing Bubbles, too.

I also created this table top book. I completely lucked into a purple book. I covered it with paper on the front, back and inside covers. I traced an oval die cut and used an exacto knife to cut out the center of the book. I gradually used smaller dies to get the hollowed out look. I sanded the page edges inside the oval and brushed it with some ink. I inserted the picture and glued all the pages together. Then I decorated the front of the book. I did a lot of fussy cutting flowers (I find that relaxing) and coated them with glossy accents. I added the Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel to the fairy to give her some sparkle. Then again, I used one of the chipboard pieces to frame Elizabeth's picture. I added in a few more 49 and Market flowers and a few little pearls.

As you can see the colors in this paper are just gorgeous. It was a lot of fun to work with. It would make beautiful cards too. I plan to do a mini book next! I will be sending these projects to the store this month, so be sure to come in and check them out. 

I also wanted to share one more product with you. A good friend of mine bought me a little surprise gift. Do your fingers ever look like mine did when I was glittering and gluing (most of the time mine are much worse)??

If they do, let me recommend the Scrubby. I have used it to remove chalk and ink from my hands too. It's perfect to toss in your crop bag or have handy at your scrapbook table. 

Thank you for visiting the blog today. I hope you get to do something creative this week. Share your ideas and creations on the Doodle Dish. Stay safe and healthy. Happy Scrapping!!
