"Graphic 45 Design Team 2012 Audition"

These are my six submissions for the Graphic 45 Design Team Audition 

ENJOY..............

1. The Grapic 45 Magic of Oz Collection is amazing, I used an assortment of papers from this range and also the graphic 45 door knob I cut out the numbers from the olde curiosity shoppe range and slid in a few photos of my home from across the street and the pathway we call the Yellow brick road ( it leads straight to the pub) lol and thats my dog Molly and my three kids.  I placed this layout in a 12x12 frame and added further embellishments on the outside (No rules)  The Home I picked up at a local gift shop.  This one will be hung in the entrance of my Home Sweet Home.................
