How best to describe Graphic 45?  Try this...Graphic 45 scrapbooking papers features a singular focus on individualism and disdain for the commonplace, a flamboyant style was born in the 1920s and 30s, that captured the imagination of the world and became all the rage. Graphic 45 scrapbooking paper combines this eras vintage charm with vibrant color, irresistible texture and imaginative design to create scrapbooking paper collections with a decade old appeal that is both fresh and familiar.

All right girls are you ready for a challenge! This is our first BlueMoon Challenge which we'd love to see YOU join in.

Challenge ends Feb. 20th.
All the Design Team Members will choose a Challenge winner which will be their favorite layout from the gallery.  The winner will receive a $40.00 BlueMoon shopping certificate!  There should be lots of new CHA products in the store at this time to choose from!

Post your entry anytime before February 20th in the BlueMoonGallery.  Upload a 4x6 with 72 resolution - this works best.  If you're having issues uploading it's usually because the image is too big/large a file.   Resize it and you're off to the races.  If you have problems email  lisa@bluemoonscrapbooking.com.
You can enter 1 layout per challenge.
Open to all US and International Scrappers.

We need at least 5 people to enter in order to choose a winner, so tell some of your friends to join in so someone will win the $40.00 BlueMoon Shopping Certificate.
