Song Li Design: Graphic 45 Design Team 2014 Audition

Hi Crafters :)

This is my Graphic 45 Design Team 2014 Audition post. I have always loved graphic 45 and have always been a huge fan of graphic 45 too. I trying out this design team call will be a wonderful experience to me. If I made a video about that project, I will embed the video of each project in this post too. I apologize that his post is very long. I want to include as much as I can.

I have attached many projects in the post. Some use Graphic 45's product and some did not use. I will give each project a quick one to two sentence description so please scroll down :)

1. Altered Birdcage using Graphic 45 Secret Garden Paper. I cooperated the softness, shabby, and vintage feeling of the paper into the embellishment.

Here is the start-to-finish video:

2. Christmas Window created using Graphic 45 Twelve Days of Christmas. I put on some texture to make it look more distressed and old. I also made my embellishment to match the color and the overall theme of the paper.

Here is the start-to-finish video:

3. Christmas Window Box using Graphic 45 Twelve Days Of Christmas. I fussy cut out some little elements to put on the tree. I also used the paper itself to create some embellishment, like the ribbon on the clock wreath, the bows, the flowers, and the snow man behind the tree.

Here is the start-to-finish video:

6. Pen Holder made using Graphic 45 Bird Song paper. I made everything from scratch using chipboard. My goal is to create a very asian inspired look. I did this project before I started my channel, so there is no video for this.

7. Altered Easel using Graphic 45 Secret Garden. A lot of fussy cutting on this one. I just LOVE fussy cut Graphic 45's paper. This is an older project too, I didn't start my channel at that time, so there is no video for this.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Altered Shadow Box using Graphic 45 Bird Song Collection. I cut out many ladies and different element from the paper. This is also an asian inspired project. Because I did this project before I started my channel, I don't have a video for this.

9. A card I made using Graphic 45 Secret Garden Paper. I did many fussy cut and layering on this card. Again, I did this before I started my channel, so there is no video for this.

10. Altered Tag Album and Altered Mini Runway made using Graphic 45 Couture Collection. This tag album is greatly inspired by a G45 designer Anne. They are a ton of fussy cutting went into these two projects. I made the mini runway from chipboard.
