CHA Project Reveals Day 2: Graphic 45 CityScapes

Good Morning Everyone!

Just wanted to share the second set of projects I did for the CHA Graphic 45 booth..This was one of my truly favorite collections!  It's totally amazing!  I love the graphics and colors! ...CityScapes...

Hope you like these...

The Big Ben Lamp

Need a bit of Britain to light up your dwelling?  Well, The Big Ben Lamp might just do the trick.  Made with cut out pieces of heavy weight chipboard, and then backed with a light tracing paper; the lamp will glow through all the windows of this historic treasure. 

The Double Decker Bus and Mini

The Beautiful city of London comes to the forefront with another iconic project…The famous Double Decker Buses have always been enchanting to me…of course I always clamored to the top for a more majestic view of the city.  In my version of the double decker, you lift up the back piece and pull out a thin but long mini that can be filled with traveling quotes, travel pictures and souvenirs picked up along the way.

That's it for Today...Please check back tomorrow for a Communique project.

Have an awesome day!

CHA Projects Reveal Day 1: Graphic 45 Voyage Beneath the Sea

Good Morning Everyone!

 It's that time of year to reveal some new projects for 2016.  These projects are for the Graphic 45 booth at CHA in Anaheim, California.  As the show floor opens at 10:00 a.m. we can finally reveal them to you..

Just wanted to share the first set of projects I did for the CHA Graphic 45 booth..This was one of my truly favorite collections!  It's just totally amazing!  I love the graphics and colors!
This is what I came up with for Voyage Beneath the Sea...

Poseidon's Watership

This steampunk watership is ready to delve into the deepest parts of the ocean.  Poseidon’s Watership stands on a base that has a tiny drawer to hold magical sea creatures.  The Watership itself can be removed from the base if you like and also holds a “finned” mini at the top to collect ocean time memories.

The Gentleman Fish Rider

This is such a fun project…Inspired directly by the Gentleman Fish Rider in the paper collection.  I thought, let’s see if we can make it…then, let’s see if we can make it move…And It Does!  By turning the geared knob at the front, this turns the larger gear on the inside, which allows the Gentleman’s arms to move up and down as he is riding the fish with the reigns…Such a blast to make!

Thanks for coming by to see!
