Graphic 45 2018 Brand Ambassador Audition

Hello all!

I am so beyond excited to be auditioning for the Graphic 45 team this year!!

I was very proud to have made the top 30 two years ago, and am hopeful to make the team this year.

For my audition I decided to do one of my favorite things, scrapbooking. I began scrapbooking at age 16 and over the years it’s developed into card making, and eventually to mixed media. Taking the time to learn mixed media has really helped me to grow as an artist, and I am now taking back what I have learned to my scrapbooking.

For my page I decided to use the Raining Cats and Dogs collection to showcase a photo of my little black pug, Maddie. Maddie is always at my side wanting to know what I am up to, and am I going to share my food.

I am all about dimension and texture on my pages. For this page I decided to try sewing around the edges. I am very happy with the way this turned out and felt it just gave an added detail to my page.

I fussy cut several images from the paper for this layout. I LOVE to fussy cut. A tip for extra dimension on your layouts is to layer some cardboard beneath sections of the paper. The photo is sitting probably a half inch off the base layer of the page. 

I also took some Distress Oxide in Vintage photo, mixed in some water, and splattered across my page to give the idea of a "muddy" look. I felt this tied in great with the paper, even though my dog does not like the mud!

For my second project I made a tag featuring the new Little Women paper! I ADORE classic books, and Little Women happens to be one of my favorites. I was super excited when this collection was announced! I was also incredibly excited to use the new Graphic 45 tag dies! This made building my tag so easy.

I have included a step-by-step Snapguide tutorial to show you how easy it was to make this tag!
