Announcing Club G45
Earlier this month in our newsletter we announced our first ever kit club for 2018, Club G45! This took off faster and with more enthusiasm than we had ever dreamed of. All of Volume 1 kits sold out in less than three hours. As thrilled as we were with the popularity, we wish we could have been more prepared to meet the needs of our G45ers. We are adding as many additional kits as possible for Volume 2, and will continue to increase availability with future volumes in hopes that we can meet the demand.
Fortunately, we are still able to offer the project sheet and YouTube video tutorials to everyone. You can swap out the sold-out Fairie Dust 8×8's for the 12×12 collection pack and still create a stunning project, or try using another one of our paper collections. Below you will find all the info for our new program including a FAQsection below.

Dream Scrapbook Layout
by Katelyn Grosart
“Hey G45 Fans! Happy New Year! One of my New Year’s resolutions for this year is to push myself to create more scrapbook layouts. So I figured, why not start the year by creating one featuring the new and beautiful Fairie Dust collection. This layout was created for one of our family photos taken on our Alaskan cruise in 2015. You can easily change the theme of it and use any photos. You’ll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and enjoy the photos and tutorial of my Dream Scrapbook Layout.”
Tip: Add a bit of stenciling in behind your fussy cut images. Although you may not see a lot of the stenciled image, having a bit peek out amongst your fussy cut images adds some more dimension.
Tip: Mix elements from the Ephemera cards as well as the Tags & Pockets into your fussy cut images.
Tip: Add some metal elements for some extra interest in amongst the flowers.
Tip: From the Decorative Stickers, adhere a photo corner into the lighter embellished corner.
