Graphic 45 Design Team Audition

Hello my name is Nicole and welcome to my blog, in this post I will list 3 projects and a link to my video where I am creating the Mother Goose tag.

Here is what I enjoy about crafting with paper, I can make functional work like a greeting card, envelopes and stationary for planners or calendars or I can make art work for decoration. Paper crafting has been a long time hobby of mine and I enjoy creating tags and letters mainly, I actually think I can make tags all day. I like creating mixed media, ever since I took a class on it in college. I like to make embellishments for my pieces but I also love stickers and cut-a-part's because they guarantee to match with whatever paper collection I am using. Below you will see three projects I created, two are using the Graphic 45 paper collection Mother Goose 8x8 pad. The last one is using the Prima Something Blue 6x6 stack. I hope you enjoy my paper creations!

The first project is my Mother Goose tag. I love nursery rhymes and fairy tale themes so I had to put something fun together. Here is a link to my video tutorial https://youtu.be/6mcb6ZHmTQw


This next project is also using the Mother Goose paper pack, I made a pocket letter. The inside of the pocket letter has a packet I filled with confetti that I made from scrap paper and punches. I also made the envelope from scrap paper and cut out the journal cards from the stack. The stickers are from the G45 Botanical Garden collection.
 

 The last project I created is a wall hanging using a frame from AC Moore, I painted it with gold paint and coated it in glitter. Then I created a card insert with the Prima Something Blue paper pack and sticker from the Dollar Tree sticker section. I stamped on one of the cards and used washi tape to decorate. The flowers came from a discount store near me.

Estee Lauder Gilded Rose Set

Bought these a while ago but I am just posting these as a review. These are a set of eyeshadows and marbleized shimmer powder. The eyeshadows come gilded but the gold is not incorporated into the shadows. These are satin colors one light baby pink, a magenta pink, a peachy tan pink, and the fourth is a tawny rose color. Super close to matte powders and a little disappointing because the "rose gold" overlay comes right off with one swipe. The colors are very nice though even if the overlay goes away. The marble shimmer powder feels good on my skin but as I have some tan left on my skin the rose blends a little bit too much. So a fair skin or yellowed skin will really benefit from the color in the marble if you want to use it as a blush. Otherwise the shimmer looks good as a general highlight. I did not buy both at the same time I got them from my local CCO for around 16.00 a piece. Compared to retail Estee Lauder prices this is very cheap. I wished there was a rose gold match...

Current obsession

Final fanatsy tactics: war of the lions version Such a hard game!! Not like the new tactics and I cannot wait to try tactics ogre...it's such a complicated yet beautifully told story and if you love FF12 or any Ivalician tale then you must play tactics. I highly recommend :)

What have I been doing?

So where have I been this year?  To start I have been promoted twice to two different departments and have to move in October. Things have been so crazy I havent been able to keep up with anything. But! To let you all know, I made a new instagram, called glitter_witch_crafts where I will be posting photos of hauls and craft projects. I will continue to use my youtube channel but i will be renaming it so that everything is consistent. So in other words I will be back but not effectively until November/December but I promise to have really great demos and product reviews here and on a schedule! Follow my new instagram for updates and posts.
