May Arts/Graphic 45 Blog Week

                           

It's time again for the May Arts Design Team to join the Graphic 45 Design Team to bring you a week full of exciting projects and giveaways! 

I'm helping to begin the week with a paperbag book album featuring Graphic 45 Kraft Reflections Designer Papers, Graphic 45 Staples Embellishments and of course, gorgeous May Arts Ribbon.  I tried to keep it simple enough that pictures/journaling cards could be added if desired.


The right page is actually from an old, really old (!), crochet newletter.

Of course, there will be prizes!  How to win?  Just leave a comment on the blogs along the way.

Supplies:
Paper - Graphic 45 Kraft Reflections, Papertrey Ink Kraft/Smokey Shadow
Ink - Versafine Sepia/Black
Other - paper bag book; black hang tag; book rings; feathers; brads; Stampin Up Hodge Podge hardware; flat back pearls, Recollections black adhesive backed bling; Crystal Effects; double sided tape; sewing machine

I've included the full week's blog list so that you can check back in to see each day's projects.   Thanks so much for joining us this week!
