Graphic 45 Mother Goose pocket card

Graphic 45 Mother Goose Tag

Here is my first blog post for graphic 45's design team cast call. This tag is using the Mother Goose 8x8 collection. I also cut pieces from the Prima nursery rhyme collection journal card book. I made a pocket with the journal card and fussy cut some flowers to make a cluster on one side. I love the way this tag came out because I have admired the work of many youtubers and bloggers who make amazing work with graphic 45 papers and I am happy to see that I can also create something amazing. I also filmed a youtube video that I will link as soon as I am done editing it so everyone can see the process. 

Weekly Journal Spreads

At my job we're all inservice training courses and maybe the whole planet needs service training. Oh well this weeks over and a new week is coming with more surprises whether good or bad.
