What is life without dreams? We all need to dream to achieve. Little did I know as a walked around CHA a number of years ago and came across a booth by a new company "Graphic 45" that one-day it would become my dream to be a designer for them. I remember being in awe of the beauty of the projects on display - did I dare to dream that one day I could be part of such an amazing company?
Well today my dream came true! I was so humbled to see my name on the list of the Graphic 45 2011 Design Team members. I cannot wait for the next 12 months and the opportunity to work with such an inspiring company.
The above photo is a little glimpse of one of my projects I submitted for the final round of the Design Team call. (Hope that it's okay to give you a peek!).
I have been crafting day and night for the past couple of weeks working on new classes I will be offering over the coming months. I have the opportunity to teach in here in Australia before heading back to Boston at the end of May. More information on the classes in my next post.
One more tiny glimpse into a project I have been working on before I leave you. I have just completed a this small mini Shabby Album using a Doodlebug Plain and Simple Album and one of the newest collections from Prima - Botanicals. Totally love the beautiful floral designs of this collection.
I can only show a tiny glimpse of this project as I have just submitted it. When I can I will post photos of the entire project. I am working on a website at the moment where you will be able to purchase some of my projects as kits - this will be one of them. I will post the announcement and a link to the website here on my blog when it is all up and running.
If you don't have a dream, how are you going to make a dream come true? Oscar Hammerstein

Your submission to Graphic 45 is absolutely stunning. Like you I love the shabby chic look and love incorporating vintage lace, buttons etc. in my work. Can't wait to see what you do for Graphic 45 this year! Congratulations on making the team.
