New Graphic 45 & More Reasons We Love Nancy Wethington!

Have you seen the new Graphic 45 collection, Tropical Travelogue? It is 3 parts Tommy Bahama, mixed with 4 parts Luau, 2 parts snorkeling, and topped with pineapple, cinnamon, macadamia nuts, and some freshly smoked ham! Here are the 3 sets of Cling Stamps for the collection:

I love this collection because it truly does capture the island feel. It mixes bright and dark colors for gorgeous patterns that are very reminiscent of a balmy, breezy night by the beach. (sigh...at least these papers make me feel warm and tan!!! lol...it's a cold and wet in Ohio right now!)


Graphic 45 also paired with Colorbox for six really nice Decades Dye Ink Pads! They just so happen to coordinate perfectly with the Tropical Travelogue collection, but they go really nicely with the other Graphic 45 collections too!




I love seeing what Nancy Wethington makes each week for the Simon Says Stamp & Show Challenge! Below is what she made for this week's theme: Thru the Looking Glass - Projects with Depth. Enter it for a chance to win a $50.00 gift credit to Simon Says Stamp and check back every Monday for a new theme and opportunity to win!
Nancy also designs for Graphic 45! Check out more of her work in their gallery! Here are a few pieces I thought were pretty fun!



BLOG CANDY ALERT! Join our following and leave a comment about why you love Graphic 45 and Nancy Wethington for a chance to win some Graphic 45 Papers cut down to 6" x 6"! The winner will be announced Monday! : )
Have a "staycation" this weekend in honor of Tropical Travelogue!!

    Oh these projects here are so awesome. I love G45 because it´s such stunning a bit of vintage looking paper and it makes such womnderful creations, and the colors are so gorgeous too, and finally because I´m a paper addict, I´m afraid, especially gorgeous paper. The problem is just that there so much gorgeous paper outthere he he he he.

    I love the Graphic 45 range although I must confess to hoarding rather than using their 12x12 papers - I just find it sooooo hard to cut into them ;-) Their stamps are absolutely beautiful and so detailed. Nancy's
    designs are amazing, such clever ideas perfectly executed.

    I love Graphic 45's mainly for their vintage look. It's so different to what is out there. I think it's mainly because of the colours they use - very vibrant, something you might not expect with vintage images.
