Graphic 45 Stacked Cake Boxes

One of my fave ideas to browse on Pinterest are cakes! I have gotten tons of inspiration from them in some of my past works! I have a board dedicated to them, and I marvel at how those bakers create such works of art! Art is everywhere! This faux cake is def not a new concept, I have seen lots of these in t he past few years! Marvelous inspiration out there! This is my version though! I wasn't sure it would work out ! I have a video tut , but for some odd reason, youtube is having trouble playing it! I reported it, hopefully something will change! I used the A Ladies Diary line , one of my all time faves! I am a fan of the more pastel color range :)With black of course! Swing over to the Graphic 45 Blog to see a fab idea from Denise Johnson!  Hugs!

French Country Altered Letter

 

So even thought winter is here, I am still on a Fall Decor kick! I wanted to create some letters to hang on our bedroom wall. Mine (not shown) has flowers, I wanted honey’s to be a bit more masculine so I opted for leaves! All you need is a leaf die ( or you can hand cut them, easy to do! ), and a letter. This is a very quick craft, and my nieces even made their own following along! Hope you will follow along and give one a try.

Graphic 45 Snowman Top hat Card Day 11 Blog Hop

For my day 11 gift idea, I made something for the one and only Charee! Featuring the star of Graphic 45, baby Richard! I always adore the photos I see of him, so I knew he would make the perfect little drummer on top of this hat/card! I have him sitting in the birds nest up top, drumstick in hand! The bottom of the hat opens up for the card. Check out the video for a overview and tutorial.
