G45 Challenge
G45 Challenge
Since there was a lot of talk about this in Christy's thread, I thought I'd get it started. Besides that, I have a lot of G45 and need some inspiration!
I've used this distinctive paper in a lot of different ways, projects and LOs, and it can almost be intimidating because of the designs. The trick to it is - don't be afraid to cut it up and use small portions of it. My challenge to you is - cut it, slice it, distress it, but more important - use it! Post your creations all through March and let's see if we can't inspire each other to reduce some of that G45 stash!

These are 2 examples of how I've used G45. The scowl I had nothing to do with.

Great job on those Pam. I know those designs can be very difficult to work with. I need to pull some of mine out.

Do it, Cheryl!
I finally found the bird house photo. This paper really lends itself well to working with dimensional projects.

Re: G45 Challenge
Wow, that was quick, Cheryl. It makes beautiful cards.
Thanks for posting the challenge, Pam. I hadn't realized that the layout of Adam was G45. That's a really good example of what we need to do.
Trouble is, I think I own 1 sheet of G45 paper and it's Wizard of Oz so this might take some thought. And, I might have to do some shopping

Fantastic Cheryl and Pam!
Pam I love both things you did.
Cheryl…what kind of green ribbon is that?

Christy that is mesh that was with some flowers I had purchased at HT a couple of weeks ago. They had Valentine flowers for $5 after Valentine day and I couldn't resist. I have saved that mesh because it is very cool.

Nice cards and projects! I always forget about the B sides. Thought I'd share a G45 project I made awhile ago, also a cigar box. It was a birthday gift, hence the matching card.

Re: G45 Challenge
These are all outstanding!
Better to use the "B" side than letting it languish in your stash.
Cheryl - I was just looking at the remaining pieces I have in that collection. Making cards from it is the perfect solution!

Re: G45 Challenge
Cheryl, what is HT? Did you add sparkle to the mesh?
Keitha, nice to see the box again. That sheet of paper with the 4 square designs is the one I have.
My lack of G45 has been somewhat remedied this morning. But as a girl from the Jersey Shore, if anyone has any of the On The Boardwalk collection that you don't want, I'd be interested in some of it. Where I ordered only had a few sheets left which I bought. Some of my vintage beach photos would go with it.

Sorry Marianne, HT is Harris Teeter (grocery store near us). The sparkle was already there.
I have 2 more I did:
