We are Celebrating a Graphic 45 Birthday!

Scroll down for the Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge, and
scroll even further to see a tutorial sneak peek!

Tomorrow is Charee Filimoehala' birthday! Charee is the Graphic 45 Design Team Coordinator and Director of Customer Service. Considering that Graphic 45 is a small, family-owned company, I am sure, that she wears a lot of hats! Her newest hat is that of MOMMY! Charee became Mom to baby Richard in December!


Charee has been my DT Coordinator for the Graphic 45 team for the past three years. She has been an amazing support, cheerleader, and "boss" to me and I am totally bummed that I cannot try out for the 2013-2014 team. {sniff boo hoo} (See details about how YOU can try out below.)

As always, the crew at the G45 office wanted to surprise Charee with a birthday blog post today and asked the team to create projects to share. I decided to give her a "bouquet of flowers"! I made this flower-ific card with new French Country Collection.


When I see these colors, my heart goes pitter-pat!

 
I used the new French Country Flowers, paired with rolled die cut flowers to make the big blooms on the card. I loved working with the cardstock flowers because the paper is nice and thick and holds it's shape so well.
 
 
I decorated the inside, then I wrote a little message for Charee and mailed the card off to Portland. {I know! I actually MAILED a card! Crazy talk!}
