What not to love about these divine papers, each collection is unique and when you create a layout, card or off the page that project just stands out. The sticker sheets and embellishments are the icing on the cake. It also helps that I shop at Seriously scrapbooking and get to see what Jane Tregenza creates with these collections and that really helps when it comes to using these papers and embellishments.
I love Graphic 45 because they always use the most vivid colors in their collections. Their work has a Victorian feel to me and I really enjoy using their different collections.
The beauty of Graphic 45 products inspire me to be creative. It’s hard not to create something beautiful when you start with such amazing paper lines and staples.

G45 is my favorite paper line…I don’t think they’ve ever came out with a line I didn’t just absolutely LOVE..thanks for all your inspriationa
Why I love Graphic 45 paper collections? I make journals (entirely – from the paperboard covers to binding it myself) I give them to my friends and family. Graphic 45 papers make my albums look AMAZING (not trying to toot my own horn!! But I always finish the album and find myself saying “Okay I am going to KEEP this one for myself!” it as not happened yet and the look on my friend’s face is all worth it.) Beautiful papers, superior embellishments and the colors are just so lush and the nice thick quality of the paper. I would love to recieve either one of these collections as I haven’t not bought either one of these yet.
Thanks for the chance to win one!!
I love these papers! They are great for some classy-classic looking cards. I like designing with them very much! Thanks for creating such a great product for us to use.
I love Graphic 45 because it is so different from other papers, love the old fashioned look and Gloria does such beautiful things with it. Sarah
I have always been a huge fan of vintage images/ephemera which is why I am drawn to the Graphic 45 line. I love the design, quality and variety of their collections. Plus their blog offers such fabulous project tutorials. There is so much to love!
I am so addicted to Graphic 45! I rec’d my 1st paper pad this year and love how everything coordinates so well together!
