Anyways, here's the project I made that marries the lovely new BirdSong collection from Graphic45 with the soft shimmer of Art Glitter and the gentle sheen of want2scrap pearl stickers (do I sound like a catalogue? :)
It's an interchangeable photo frame - I made a space behind the paper strip with Chinese word on it where you can slot your picture in and change it whenever you like. Or maybe put papers and a pen in so you can leave this by the phone for messages...
This is what I used:
Graphic45 Bird Song papers:
Graphic45 Bird Song papers:
Want2Scrap - green pearls, small cream pearls
Art Glitter - Lichen Ultrafine Transparent.
I hope you've been enjoying the hop! Here are the prizes that are up for grabs:
Don't forget to hop on over to all my fellow G45 DT's awesome blogs and leave them a little hello:

I never cared much for fussing cutting until I started using the G45 collections. OMG it is soooo fun! I can do it for hours! Also, I am making a G45 12x12 book and when I got to Bird Song, I have to admit I was a little stuck with how to use it. However, after looking through your work, it made me realize I do have a layout idea/pictures I can use. Thanks for your inspiration, sharing your beautiful work an playing in the hop. Happy creating!!
