Welcome! It's Gloria with you today! I am very excited to share the NEW Graphic 45 A Ladies' Diary collection with you today! StopAndScrap has this collection and MORE on pre-order!
Since I am also on the Graphic 45 design team, I have already gotten my hands on this fantastic paper! This is one of my NEW favorites in the Graphic 45 catalog! I love the soft colors paired with dark brown and black. Plus, any paper that has clocks and flowers is a hit with me!
I used the 8x8 pad for this project. The smaller scale of the prints is perfect for cards, tags, and mini albums.
I made a card with a removable book mark! Nothing says "friendship" like a pretty bookmark!
The Simple Stories Odds and Ends Memorabilia Pocket is perfect for tucking the bookmark into. You could also tuck a gift card into the pocket for an extra special gift!
I used Prima Perle Bebe Fairy Belle flowers to decorate my pocket and bookmark. So soft and pretty!
For more details and a peek at the inside of the card, visit my blog, Scraps of Life.

Good day, StopAndScrap.com Friends! It's Gloria with you today and I have a peek at the NEW Graphic 45 Happy Haunting collection! I know it is early to be creating Halloween layouts, but when you are as far behind in your scrapbooking as I am, you need a head start!
I used some of the Happy Haunting papers, plus the chipboard elements and stickers!
I used a combination of American Crafts and Graphic 45 Core'dinations cardstock for my layers.
The flowers are from Petaloo and Prima. I tucked the various sticker and chipboard elements into the flowers. To give them added dimension, I first attached the stickers to some scrap chipboard.
I added a fancy pin from Webster's Pages into the top of the flower arrangement. If you look at the products for color, tone, and style, it is easy to mix and match various product lines into one cohesive project!
I hope you had fun visiting! My plan is to give you a rotation of cards, layouts, and altered/mixed media items! I know the rest of the DT will be sharing all sorts of interesting things with you! Make sure you check back often!

Hello, StopAndScrap Fans! It's Gloria with you today. As a homeschool mom of 13 years, I know how important our childrens' teachers are! Teachers, whether in traditional school settings, Sunday school, coaching, or homeschooling, deserve our respect and admiration. Take time today to thank the teachers in your child's life!
I have made a card with a matching gift card holder. Gift cards to a favorite coffee shop, book store, or salon are much appreciated by busy teachers! Why not make a cute holder in which to present the card?
I used the Webster's Pages Game On 6x6 Collection papers for my project. I enjoy the petite collections from Webster's Pages as they are perfect for card making! There are loads of NEW 6x6 papers available in the Pre Order section!
I created a standard 5.5 x 4.25 inch card out of cardstock from American Crafts.
The matching gift card holder is actually a Tim Holtz Sizzix Alterations Pocket Envelope die cut shape!
The die cut shape comes with the envelope and two closure circles. You simply fold and adhere the envelope together and place two mini brads through the closure circles. Keep the envelope closed with a bit of twine or string.
The envelope is the perfect size to hold a standard sized gift card!
Make sure you take a look at the NEW kits for my Graphic 45 Little Darlings Altered Box and Mini Ablum! Both the kits and inividual items are IN STOCK in the Daily Deals section! Click HERE for the printable Tutorial.
