  8. Graphic45, you have done it again. This Life is a Bowl of Cherries, is so beautiful. I love the bold colors. I see making a mini photo album to put pictures of the adventures one would go on through the summer. My newest obsession are those squash books.

    And all the wonderful, amazing cards you could make with paper. I have fallen in love with your designs and your paper quality!!!

  10. I grew up with two cherry trees in my back yard that my brothers, neighbor friends and I would climb and eat cherries like crazy and at times had a seed spitting battle with each other. I absolutely love this paper and could made some really cute items with it.

  11. I love the bright cherries against that beautiful blue! I think it would be so fun to make a recipe box, cute cards, and maybe a decoration for my kitchen. So cute love it. 🥰🍒

  12. I really want to love this collection. Sadly, it appears the coordinating papers are in a coral/salmon red instead of a true red. I’m a little disappointed.

  21. How very “sweet”! I see a lot of recipe book ideas for this also utilizing Cafe Parisian and Alice’s Tea Party. Talk about a memory trigger… when my husband and I were very young, we’d go to Yakima, WA’s pick your own fruit fields. My husband loved cherries and we’d pick tons of them, drive home sticky, cherry stained, the scent of cherries in the car. We’d can a lot of them as my husband’s Mom did that when he was a child and it was his favorite desert, we’d also make cobbler, preserves, pie filling etc… It’s been 48+ years now… I wonder if the store has any cherries?

  22. What I love about G45 is that your collections have everything we need to make cards, albums, altered art crafts and more. Bowl of cherries would update my recipe boxes and push me to organize the recipes from the internet into a a colorful recipe notebook! Can’t wait!

  23. Definitely an inspiration for many kitchen-oriented projects-recipes, food gift tags, family traditions and fresh ideas. Love the bright blue and red combos.

  40. This collection is awesome!!… I was a fan of Mary Englebreit (way back when) and this has that vibe to it… I could really get into this one even if just for that throwback feel… Desk accessories, YES!

  41. I love the brilliant colors! I just started collecting items and am creating pockets and recipes for my first recipe album for my new daughter in law. She calls often wanting to make my son’s favorite dishes. How cute would this be for that project! You guys never stop out doing yourselves. I live 120 miles from a town that has two craft stores which carry limited scrapbooking stock. I’m so grateful to be able to have the best supplies delivered right to my door from you. Your quality and design can’t be beat. Anytime I need ideas I watch graphic 45 YouTube videos on my TV. I have followed many, like the Mother Goose 3 albums and holder that was so fun. You guys go above and beyond which is why I only order your products from your site even if they are a little cheaper elsewhere. My orders always come in fast and in perfect condition. My daughter get together monthly to scrapbook together and I surprise her with new designs. When her very favorite movie was put in design by you, The Wizard of Oz, she was so overwhelmed. She said she was so glad you kept them old school. I didn’t understand, she said they could have come out of her vintage book of The Wizard of Oz. She followed your tutorial as I had got the whole collection for her and her album came out beautiful. She just turned 40 and now has some extra time so a couple of her friends wanted to know where she found that paper. Your designs are bringing a new generation of scrappers to the table. Thank you all for your hard work! So much better then the generic papers out there.

  42. I always love it when cherries are in season in central California, they are one of my favorite fruit. This collection and it’s vintage vibe and vibrant colors is very nostalgic and is perfect for a cookbook featuring all of the family cherry recipes ranging from cherry pies to cherry mojitos!🤩🥰🙋🏻‍♀️💜

  43. I love this collection. I think I would mostly use it to make cards, although it would be good for scrapbook pages when I visit my sister in California.

  44. Ooh! I love this collection. I can use it for everything from a recipe collection to a spring-themed album. I can’t wait to get my hands on this one.

  45. I was looking for inspiration for my Kitchen and I think I just found it in this new design! Cherry Vintage Decoupage Heaven! (I want to cover my new hutch in cherries!) Count me in!

  46. I feel like G45 is reading my mind. Recipe albums, cards, and folio folders here I come! Love, love, love the cherries and blue check patterned paper. Can’t you just smell the pie baking in the oven?

  47. I feel like G45 is reading my mind. Recipe albums, cards, and folio folders here I come! Love, love, love the cherries and blue check patterned paper. Can’t you just smell the pie baking in the oven?
