Graphic 45 Design Team 2012 Audition

Posted on February 25, 2012 by Sue

With much anticipation I am embarking on another creative journey. I have been in love with Graphic 45 products since they began; they got me at Times Nouveau. I have watched their product lines grow and eagerly await each new release. I was seriously infatuated when Graphic 45 created Steampunk Debutante; I have consumed a serious amount of that line and now I fear that Olde Curiosity Shoppe will quickly follow suit. What is a girl to do? Well audition for the Graphic 45 Design Team, of course!

For my submission I have chosen 10 of my favorite projects.

OLDE CURIOSITY SHOPPE ALTERED ART BOX

STEAMPUNK CLOCK

FASHIONABLE BUTTONS – FILM CANISTER

AFTERNOON TEA – TRIFOLD CARD & ENVELOPE

STEAMPUNK ALTERED OBJECT BOX

LE CIRQUE CONFIGURATION BOX

“OUTSIDE MY WINDOW” – MIXED MEDIA OBJECT BOX

PALAIS ORSAY TRINKET BOX

ANTIQUE STORE CONFIGURATION BOX

VINTAGE CLIPBOARD

I would like to thank Graphic 45 Papers for the opportunity to submit these projects for audition for the Graphic 45 Design Team. Good luck to everyone who participates!

  Hi Shelly:
  What can I say, when Shelly Hickox gives me such a compliment, I am awe struck. I visit your blog on a regular basis and love your work. Perhaps you will remember me from your Suitcase Die at Christmas. Did you use it yet? I keep checking your blog to see what you came up with; whatever it is, I am sure it will be awesome.

    Hi Sue! I’m just now seeing this comment! I actually used that die on two of the pieces I made for Tim for CHA! One was a mini book that was displayed in the Sizzix booth, and one was a card that was displayed in the Ranger booth. I guess I need to post them on my blog sometime, lol! 🙂
