I haven't seen this release posted and now it is available for purchase. I know Graphic 45 isn't everyone's cup of tea, but after the boring Echo Park releases this is really new and intersting. Graphic 45 Life is AbundantLet's Get ArtsyI'm not a Graphic 45 scrapper usually but I really, really like both of these collections. Life is Abundant- I don't need every month but I definitely need the March mushrooms and October owls. Let's Get Artsy- Be still my art teacher heart. I need this collection- Klee, Cezanne, Monet, Van Gogh, Audubon, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Matisse, Klimt- so many artists represented- it is amazing. I know it isn't versatile for everyone but oh wow do I love it. |

I love Graphic 45, but it can be hard for me to scrapbook with it. I usually use it for card making. I appreciate seeing their new releases. Thanks for posting them.

Life is abundant would be a fun challenge to use for a Project Life Album.

Neither of those collections appealed to me but I love seeing some fresh and different. I don’t know that I was aware of this company- I’ll keep my eye out for them for future releases.

They are beautiful, as are most G45 papers. But, I have only ever been able to use them for assemblage or mixed media projects. These 2 lines are tempting, but I’ll probably pass.

It's a matter of personal taste though, right? The Echo Park releases that you call boring were appealing to me, and I'm going to buy some of them when they are available as a digital kit. On the other hand, Life Is Abundant does not appeal to me in any way, shape, or form. I love the colour scheme of Let's Get Artsy, but I would never buy it because it's just not my style.

I'm also not usually into G45 but I also really like both collections and they feel like they might be more usable (to me) than many of theirs. I'm still on the fence though

Graphic 45 papers scare me. I always feel my stories and photos are not important enough to display with such intricate artwork. That being said... to MY eye, Life is Abundant is GORGEOUS! Love the fall colours against that dark background. And I love teal and green with the rust and gold. I won't order it, but if my hand touches it in an LSS, I think it will probably come home with me  . Would love to see it on some of your PL pages, refugeepea. |

Life is Abundant is really pretty.
I just find the papers too busy for my style.

Their papers are usually very interesting looking in a good way. But I usually can’t figure how to use them on my layouts and cards. So I’ll pass.

Thank you! I have been out of the loop. I have a cute group photo from the Van Gogh Experience. If i ever get back to scrapping I could use the Art paper.

I love Graphic 45, but it can be hard for me to scrapbook with it. it's hard for me to use too and that is why i have pads and pads of the stuff. most of the time i have to tone down the busy designs with simpler or solid papers. still, their designs are beautiful. just hard to use. you really have to have a plan for the stuff.

I love love love G45, but, it doesn’t love me
I feel that my photo are not suited to their papers and cannot do the paper justice
Doesn’t stop me trying though
I like the life is abundant line, and may splurge on them

i love them BOTH!
I’m adding LETS GET ARTSY to my cart right now. I make junk journals and I think it’s very useable for those projects.
I love product lines that are less mainstream.

Both lines are beautiful. I love the botanical look of "Life is Abundant" and will probably pick up a few pieces of it. Maybe to make a collage type something to frame. "Artsy" is so pretty but I can't see me actually doing anything with it. Thanks for showing us artbabe. |

I love both of these collections! I am a card maker though and I’m not sure about those collections for cards.

I can’t even look at the links. Graphic 45 is just WAY too busy for me. It is 100% not my style.
