Some Holiday Ideas from Our Favorite Vendors!!!

I want to share a little holiday gift with all of you!  I've looked through all the holiday papers at the store and compiled this list of holiday projects from our vendors blogs and galleries.  As I write this, we still have papers from all of these collections in stock!  So if something strikes your fancy, hurry to Whimzee's and pick it up before it slips away with the holiday season!  These are some of my favorite vendor's holiday ideas!

Check out this beautiful project on Graphic 45's blog! It's a Santa display using their Christmas Past collection...we've still got a few sheets left, hurry in!  I've also got a layout from this collection (detail photo above) on my blog as the Layout of the Week this week!


Download some cool gift tags and even some Christmas photo card templates from Kaisercraft's blog.

We have just a few sheets of American Crafts' Merrymint collection left!  Check out their blog for the Merrymint Week Challenge!

Twila's Coaster Set

The holiday season is coming soon and we've got a great gift idea for you. Twila created this beautiful set of coasters using Kaisercraft's Beyond the Page collection mdf coaster set. She painted the coasters & holder red and covered them with papers from Graphic 45's Domestic Goddess collection. Give this coaster set a try, if you're looking for a fun, easy gift to make for family & friends this year. They would look great covered with photos, paper or a combination of both. Be sure to cover them with a water resistant coating, such as Mod Podge.

Graphic 45 Helps Us Release Our Inner Domestic Goddess

You may not be the perfect housekeeper, chef or seamstress, but that shouldn't stop you from picking up the retro papers from Graphic 45's new Domestic Goddess collection. The 10 new double-sided printed papers and die cut tag sheet showcase a lot of June Cleaver types going about their duties. The 1950's are alive again on these wonderful, colorful papers.

Use them to make some humorous cards for your girlfriends, joking about who's got the best cooking...or take out skills. Use them in your heritage album...make a page with those photos of mom or grandma cooking or sewing. Or use them like I plan to...make something for mom to use in her sewing room. I'm thinking of using them to cover one of those multi-drawer wooden boxes from IKEA. (I'm sure you've got one in your craft room right now.) Don't hold me to it, but if I can get it done before Christmas, I promise to share it with you. I think it would make an awesome gift for not much money!

'Tis the Season to Get the New Graphic 45 Christmas Collection

Make Graphic 45's new Christmas Past collection part of your Christmas present this year! We love the 7 double-sided printed papers and the die cut tag sheet that are part of this collection. They bring back memories (or mom's or grandma's memories) of how Christmas used to be. So much magic and celebration, a time when we hand wrote personal notes in each card sent out before handwriting the addresses on the envelopes and choosing a favorite Christmas stamp to match.

Use these beautiful papers to scrap your Christmases past or present. Or use them to create one-of-a-kind cards to send to your family and friends this holiday season. Remember to bring your creations by the store to share with the Whimzee's Girls. Let us know if it's ok to photograph them & use them on the blog. We'd love to put together a slideshow of holiday creations to inspire all of us!

Twila's New Graphic 45 Layout

Twila just completed this beautiful layout and wanted to share it with all of you. She used Graphic 45's Fashionista collection. Graphic 45's papers are timeless and come in deep, luscious colors to coordinate with so many of your photos. All the little die cut tags & embellishments add depth to any layout. And for a finishing touch, browse our large selection of ribbon to find that perfect one to bring everything together.

Graphic 45 @ CHA

I know this has been a long time coming! Sorry it's taken so long! This is the first group of almost 200 photos Twila took at CHA last month. I'm going to post them in groups so it will be easier for you to locate the manufacturers you're looking for.

I think you'll love all the creative ways the Graphic 45 designers have used their papers. I'm planning to use them to cover my grandma's train case. After I looked at all these photos, it seems like the perfect surface for a few of these retro Graphic 45 patterns.

Enjoy!
