Graphic 45 Through the Seasons Frame with Tutorial

By Pam Bray

“It is a sad day for me…. two years and through two sets of Seasons I have enjoyed and loved every minute of being part of the Graphic 45 Team/Family!!! I will never forget the morning two years ago when I woke up to all the congratulatory post, emails and text! I thought I was dreaming when I saw my name on the Graphic 45 Team list and still keep pinching myself over the opportunity to be able to design for such a fabulous, loving and creative company.  The Graphic 45 designers are all so wonderful and I love the new friendships that I have made with them and with the Graphic 45 community! I say goodbye to being a Design Team member but I will always consider myself part of their family, so they aren't going to get rid of me easily, lol! It has been an amazing, creative journey and I feel so honored and privileged. Make sure to follow me as I continue my creative journey and will share my creations with them and you.  Thank you Graphic 45 for such an amazing, creative time!” Pam

“I love taking chipboard and creating frames. My last post for the Graphic 45 Design Team I am going to share an easy chipboard frame. You will need a piece of 11” x 11” and 10” x 10” chipboard to create the “Through the Seasons” Altered Frame. What better way to finish by term with the Graphic 45 team but to celebrate the seasons …they went by quickly and this project will be quick to recreate.” ~Pam
