WHERE YOU CREATE goes to a retreat

December 8, 2017 9 Comments

Kim here today with a twist on our WHERE YOU CREATE feature. It’s time to get organized on the move! Let’s go to a retreat! I tried desperately to post this feature last weekend while at a retreat; but alas I failed! The wifi at our retreat was at best unreliable and well honestly, my brain was squirrelling every minute into conversations and laughs with the wonderful group of people I was spending my time with! Trust me…there are way worse evils in the world than what was my dilemma! BIG PHOTO SHARE So today, we will have a big photo share.

So for those of you who took…

CSM Spotlight on Graphic 45

August 5, 2016 No Comments

Whether you are new to scrapbooking or have been creating for a long time, you have no doubt heard of the company Graphic 45! Graphic 45 is a company that is owned and operated by mom: Diane Schultz and her two daughters: Aimee Filimoehala and Charee Filimoehala. What is interesting to know is how the name of the company came about. A 45, Diane went back to school, got her degree in graphic design and named the company to celebrate that achievement. We LOVE that! Graphic 45 produces award winning paper collections. That’s BIG! Their vintage inspired papers and stamps are designed to capture the glamourous, whimsy of the 1920’s and 1930’s. They are the substance to so many beautiful scrapbook layouts, mixed media and home décor projects. Look no farther than their many social media sites [Facebook, Instagram & Twitter] to find amazing projects like the ones shared here!…
