For April, 2018, Graphic 45 wants to see something that uses some recycled material: We are to create a project using Graphic 45 product and unused item (ex: packaging, old home decor pieces, frame, etc.).
For white was going to epicycle a wooden frame that has been lying around on my work surface for YEARS but... but then I started cleaning up my work space and realized that I had some packaging that would work perfectly in a tag album using some of the new Graphic45 dies.
