If you are HERE then you are in the right place to begin the awesome BLOG HOP!!!

Project number 2 and 3 for the Blog Hop!!

Using the "A Proper Gentleman" collection from Graphic 45and some Good will finds that I altered!!

 I got these mini 4x4 shadow boxes at the Goodwill. With the Graphic 45's " A Proper Gentleman",  created this awesome 2 tier Shadow Box. So now lets get to the details.....

 I simply love the new Tim Holtz mini Light Lantern. It was the perfect added piece to this Shadow Box. It gave it the perfect touch to a masculine piece. If you would like to order one, you can find them in my store by clicking here---> https://www.facebook.com/angelaholtdesignsbiz/app_135607783795

 I love love working with Graphic 45 paper. I mean who doesn't? Shhh, I went though my dad's garage and snagged some goodies like the light bulb you see here. I thought is fit perfect with the theme of this paper line!! By layering the elements made this look so 3D!!!

 Again using a layering technique, I built the foundation of each shadow box. Plus using Tim Holtz products, made it flipping awesome!!!

The Shadow Boxes were un-painted wood. So I painted them black and then added a gold paint wash over the black paint, to give it an aged look!!! I really enjoyed making this project and I look forward to working with more Graphic 45 products soon!!! NOW OFF TO PROJECT #2

Goodwill Find #2!! This was a cute lamp with a bike at the base. The lamp shade was ugly but I loved the beading!! I mean I could not pass it up for $2!!! 

 So I pulled off the old ugly material that covered the shade and began adding the Graphic 45 " A Proper Gentleman" Paper!!

I found this old drawer pull from my moms junk drawer and I used it as a topper for the shade!! Pretty awesome and it fit right in!!
