Graphic45 DT Call...phew I made it...

Good morning everyone, I know I'm very early today but there's a reason for it...I have decided to go ahead and enter for the Graphic45 DT call...as you all know I so love their papers and have you seen the stamps to go with the papers too...so my favourite papers and something to colour, you just couldn't get better could you...I have to do this post with my choice of 6 projects...I picked 5 cards and made a pencil box, with pencils and a ruler (yes I made the ruler from paper too) I didn't make the apple though lol...I hope you like what I picked for my entry
and you never know do you!

My pencil case is an old jewellery gift box covered with the same papers as the pencils...ABC Primer collection/Jumping Joan...the ruler, tag, alphabet tiles and tiny pencil wrap are made using ABC Primer/School Days papers - I stained red gingham ribbon with Antique linen distress inks and used a stamped sentiment on the tag to finish

Once Upon A Time Collection - Spellbound
check paper is Flight of Fancy
postcard - Woodland Fantasy

Once Upon A Springtime - Woodland Fantasy

Steampunk Debutante collection - Mechanical Mind
Tag with dragonfly - Botanicabella Collection - Antiquity

Papers, ruler and tags - ABC Primer - School Days

One upon a Springtime - Spellbound
check paper - Flight of Fancy
Postcard - Woodland Fantasy
sentiment -cut from name strip
I so enjoyed making the pencil box and have a couple of projects in mind with some things I found while I was looking for this, so watch this space...let me know what you think of my choices as there was loads to choose from...enjoy your Sunday everyone

    I think you choices are perfect but then again, I cannot think of one thing you've published that wasn't perfect! Good luck with the call, they would be very fortunate to have you on their team!

    Crossing everything for you Mina. You have picked a really diverse range of styles there so hopefully they will see just how much of an asset you would be to the team. Mind you, like everyone else, I can't think of one of your posts which wouldn't deserve a place in your entry line up. You must have had a real dilema choosing from all of them! Good luck, hugs Buttons x

    I've love them all. The ones (I didn't manage to comment on) I missed while I was away and this fabulous selection for the DT. I wish you all the luck in the world, Mina. Certainly with this showcase, you should win a place. These makes are gorgeous and I love, love, love your Primer set, right down to the Gingham on the apple for the teacher! Hope you had a great time with your family. Hugs, Lesley
