One lucky winner will win all these goodies donated by Graphic 45!  Go in your hoard and create something vintage or retro!  You have two weeks to create something beautiful, we can’t wait to see what you have created.


Here is my take on the challenge…..I hope you enjoy looking at all the pictures.  I love this paper by Graphic 45, it is Tropical Travelogue.  I love the bright colors in this paper, it reminds me of the Hawaiian Islands.  I visited Hawaii in 2012 and I thought this paper was perfect for my pictures.  I pulled a lot of my hoard out for this project. 


This is the 8x8 Matchbook Box by Graphic 45.  I cover the box with the Tropical Travelogue paper, added flowers to decorate the box and colored the "treasured Memory" title with distress ink and added a little burlap to the box.

This is a 6x6 mini album decorated with papers and chipboard from the Tropical Travelogue collection.  I added flowers, ribbons, and trinkets to the album.


The first picture is a picture of the matchbook box with the mini album in it.  The second picture is a look at the inside which is painted black and covered with paper in the bottom.  The other pages are pictures of the inside pages of the mini album.
