Graphic 45-itis....

I can't think of anything else... I have been playing with my Graphic 45 papers ever since I went shopping the other day.... they are so much fun!
I did this on chipboard - not sure what to do with it, its too long and narrow for a book cover so maybe it will end up on the scrap room wall when I finish the other one on my desk this morning!!

Whilst I'm down here in the basement playing, the two cats hang out with me.... in the comfy armchair!  They really aren't into sharing space much so it makes me smile when I see them squished into one chair like this... note that TomTom is bagging the greater share but Pandora doesn't care, she is only little and can fit down the side just nicely, thank you!

I am so excited.... my order for my Zutter Cutter and Distrezz It All is now placed and I await the arrival of the UPS man!!  Wooo Hoooo!  I have so many plans for these two tools.... there won't be a safe piece of chipboard in the house... what am I talking about... the Zutter Cutter slices through anything, so nothing in the house will be safe!!  Whilst on the subject of Zutter, Nan, our Queen of the Nanny Goats at Zutters, did a fabulous comparison of the Bind It All and the Cinch on her blog so anyone that has thought about getting either, check it out before you purchase!!  I personally have not seen the Cinch yet but I certainly don't have any plans to ditch my favourite all time scrapping tool any time in the future, if I wanted round holes I would use my Crop-A-Dile! ;)  The Bind It All is such a brilliant machine, it does everything I ask of it and more and I love the way it has brought mini books from 'home made' to 'hand made'.

  7. What a beautiful piece Annette - def for the wall.

    I won't be ditching my BIA anytime soon - haven't played with the cinch but have seen it demo'd and there were things that I didn't like. Some folk seem to really love them but there has been a lot of bad feed-back about faulty machines - I'll stick with my little blue guy, he does everything that I want.

  11. That's gorgeous - I must get some of those papers, have been sensible for far too long! I'm also very interested in the Cinch/BIA comparison and will zoom over to that blog for a look. TFS! Helen (46)

  12. Annette, had to pop back...I hadn't seen this range of papers before so went looking locally to have a nosy. Only found one place locally that had just one 8x8 paper stack...felt the need to sit down when I saw the price **gulp**

  13. I admit, I'm so far behind knowing all the new products that are out there. My art friend has a Zutter and she loves it. She also has the corner thingy, but I've not heard if the Zutter cutter, so will have to find out about it when you get it.

    I hope to beat you to your WOYWW post on Wednesday, but if I don't, be aware that you are my blog pick of the day (Sept 29). Thanks for being so much fun, Annette. I love your blog, your outlook on life, and your fun take on things. It's been so much fun getting to know you, especially since your move to North America. See you Wednesday.

    BTW, I love the piece and think it will make an excellent wall hanging.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comment, it is truly appreciated - sort of confirms that it is more than my Mum and husband that read this thing! :)
