Graphic45 Inspired by Love Challenge

Hey all you blogging buddies! Graphic45 is having a fab-oh contest! Read all about it HERE. Tis the season to make Valentines, so G45 is giving away a FANTASTIC prize to some lucky card-maker.

Charee emailed me from "G45 home base" the other day to ask me if I had any love-themed cards for her to use on the G45 Blog today...and wouldn't you know, I had just finished creating this beauty!

I used all Graphic45 Le' Romantique papers (Tender Missives, Sweetheart of Mine, Enamored Embrace, Key to My Heart). There is nothing like some lace and ribbon to "do up a romantic card!

I used some Prima pearls, plus I punched some butterflies out of the paper scraps with a Martha Stewart punch. I added some pearls to the butterflies as well.

The charm is from Making Memories. I took off the jump-ring and tied some hand-dyed wrinkle ribbon through the hole. I got that amazing lace at Paper Tails and the ribbon at Cool Scrapbook Stuff, both local stores. The first thing I do when I visit both of those stores is look for new trims

(Note: I am also entering this card into the punch challenge at Simply Create. The stamp is a greeting on the inside.)

Charee wanted me to send her more love-theme cards, even ones that had been seen before. I sent her a batch, and the ones below are the cards she chose to show on the G45 Blog today. They are repeats, but, give 'em a peek anyway!

This is one I made with G45 Renaissance Faire and Bontanica Bella papers, and Unity stamps.

Here is the inside. Another fabbie Unity stamp.

I created this card with the Le' Romantique line, plus some Tattered Angels chipboard and Prima flowers. I just gave this to my in-laws for their 50th wedding anniversary.

Yum, right?!

I made this card for the summer CHA using the G45 Steampunk Debutante line. This one is perfect for a Valentine card. Don't you love that image?!

I dug into my stash for these embellishments. The love plaque and the "diamond" stick pin are Making Memories items that I've had for a long time. I hoard everything! In multiples! It does feel good when I actually use stuff!

Now, hop on over the the G45 Blog and see how you can enter the contest to win this prize:

Also, make sure you check out the new paper lines: Le Cirque and Curtain Call. I had a chance to play with the new papers, plus the matching Hampton Art stamps because I made some "advance" samples for G45 and HA...and both new lines are AMAZING! You will see my sneak peeks during CHA week! But, here is a teaser....
