And this week Graphic 45 is giving away a “Raining Cats and Dogs” collection prize package give-away valued at $71. Details will be at the end of this post.
Graphic 45 Designer -Romy Veul
Our Graphic 45 Guest Designer for this week is Romy Veul who is part of the 2014/2015 Graphic 45 Design Team. You can see Romy’s fabulous project below, but first, here is a little more about her.
My name is Romy and I am a 21-year old paper crafter from the Netherlands. I study Linguistics at University by day, but love to spend time in my craft room at night. I started scrapbooking more than 9 years ago and was hooked to this wonderful creative outlet immediately.
I think scrapbooking is a perfect combination of my passion for photography and journaling and my need to be creative. I consider myself both a scrapbooker and a card maker, as I make both projects a lot.
I also like to try new things, such as altered items or mini albums, every once in a while. You could best describe my style as layered, detailed and romantic. I usually work with lots of layers on all of my projects and am most of all a paper girl, who loves working with different kinds of papers.

Let’s hear from Romy:
Vintage Look Scrapbook Page
Hi and welcome to the Paper Crafter’s Library blog today!
Today I would like to show you a lay-out that I made as a proud DT member for Graphic 45. I used their gorgeous new ‘Artisan Style’ collection, which is just the perfect mix of vintage and colourful. I used it to make a vintage-inspired lay-out about my brother and mother.
It happens only rarely that my brother allows me to take a photo of him, so this photo is very precious to me. I decided to frame it with the house that is printed on one of the Artisan Style papers. I fussy cut it from the papers and attached my photo in the center of it. After that, I cut out several strips of paper to create a base with multiple layers of paper behind my photo. I also tore the edges of some of the papers to make them suit the vintage look of my lay-out.
Supplies
We hope you have enjoyed today’s feature. We want to extend a sincere thank you to Romy Veul for her fabulous project and Graphic 45 for sharing their company with us. Be sure to visit Graphic 45 to see more of their products and their blog for some inspiration!
In order to enter the give-away to win the prize shown above, please leave us a comment in the comments section of this post. The winner will be announced next Wednesday.

My second attempt to comment, not sure what went wrong..
Nothing has gone wrong with your layout, Romy. All those layers you are so well known for & so clever with. All the detail yet still having focus on the photo. You are lucky to have captured your brother on camera. My poor mother has very few pics of me or my brothers since we were young. I know now I am older how precious & important they would be. Tfs today & Ty to to PCL for this opportunity. C
Romy, that’s lovely! Of course anything with G45 in it is bound to be!! Thanks for the chance to win some!
Love the layout! This collection looks like it will be fun to work with. Thanks for a chance to win! 😀
What a neat layout! Love the Artisan collection. Great colors. I love vintage.
Thanks for sharing with us!
Just beautiful!!! Love the layers and colors. How wonderful to have this special way to keep this photo!!!

Romy’s work is so beautiful. I’ve found most of my projects turn out when I use G45. Love their products!
I am a huge fan of G45 and love creating with their fabulous products. I have been familiar with Romy’s work for several years. I always love all the attention and details she adds to a project. Her Artisan layout here is the perfect example. The collection of Cats and Dogs is so beautiful. I would love to win it. This collection has been a hard one for me to find. It seems to always be out of stock when I want to order it. My husband even tried to order it for me at Christmas and it was out of stock then too. Thank you for the chance to win.
Love how the papers are stacked. makes for an interesting layout.
thanks to you and G45 for a wonderful prize.
Such a beautiful layout from an extremely talented young artist. Thank you for sharing your cel restive expression!
Oops – that should be “creative” expression. Please excuse the “creative” spelling! Thanks for the opportunity to win the wonderful graphic 45 collection, Raining Cats and Dogs!
Just gorgeous! G45 has amazing collections!
Wonderful layout design. I am so amazed at how many different paper patterns Romy used in this project that all merge & blend together to make such a beautiful finished piece! I will keep this as a go-to sample of how to blend different patterns together. Thanks so much for this feature!

Your mom (who looks young enough to be your sister) must be so proud of you and your brother. That’s a lovely layout, perfectly capturing the architectural motif of Artisan yet nicely combining it with some frilly stuff too. Don’t know how you squeeze time for art into your school schedule but that balance of creativity and work will enrich your life always.
