Graphic 45- Tropical Travelogue Tag Armoire-Done!

Good Morning Everybody!

Hope this Monday finds you rarin' to go!  For Monday's sake, let just smile and act like we love it! LOL!

Please join me today over on Graphic 45's blog , as they present my Tropical Travelogue Tag Armoire!  Here are a few pictures to get you started. 

Without further ado, here she is....

Ever wondered what to do with your tags when you want to store them?  Here's an Idea..

The Tag Armoire has two swinging doors thanks to the Graphic 45 hinges, two drawers and a secret attic!

For fast and easy drawers I used Tim Holtz Configuration Boxes!  The G45 Metal Button Brads are perfect knobs for the drawers.

The Tag Armoire can hold quite a few tags easily.  I placed them on The Idea-ology Hangers and used little wooden clothespins from the craft store and placed them on the clothes rod.

Instead of having an empty cavity, I thought, Secret Attic Compartment!  Great to store additional tags and such.

You just gotta love this paper line!  The graphics are just amazing!

Well That's It For Today!  Hope you like it! 

Please visit Denise Hahn's incredible altered ukulele on Graphic 45's Blog as well as Denise's awesome blog, In My Blue Room.

Thanks for visiting!

Ohhhh Ahhhh, so exotic, so pretty. I love the hanging tag idea. I am going to go the easy route...I bought a 1950ish doll closet a year ago(I knew I would use it someday, whether now or when I have a granddaughter in 15 years!), so now I can use it for my tags. Ugh why did I volunteer to go the zoo with middle schoolers and why is it raining. Now I can think about covering my closet instead of the task at hand. Thanks!

Thats an awesome idea Lori!  Get back to the kiddos!  There are lions, tigers and bears around!  Good to hear from ya!   Hugs!  J.

Clever ! And awesome! Now I understand why a roto trim is a must have tool for you. You are an inspiration Jim. Have a great day.

[Kay (texfolkart)]

sure was worth the wait! Just love this...and like the fact that you doubled up the chipboard to make it stronger--wish i had a rotatrim!!!!!Very inspiring piece...can think of lots to do with it!!! Thanks for sharing your ideas, Jim

Jim: what a fabulous idea! I checked out the G45 post and tute and your genius is so obvious. I might just have to try one of these! Thanks so much for all your efforts and for your generosity in sharing with all of us out here in blogland.

Not there yet...it's only 6:00 a.m. here. My group will have five 13yr old boys! I had a dream(nightmare) last night that I was in a van with a caged cougar and it got out and we here hiding under blankets and it was rubbing its head on us and purring(do cougars purr?) Maybe I will ask today and embarass my son for picking 5 males for our group.Right back at ya with the hugs. :)

You, Sir, are a crafting wonder! Such a fabulous tutorial, too. Thank you!

[Belinda Basson]

Love the paper you used and the hangers are perfect for this project. Just a note from me in South Africa where the Zebras roam...the gals from G45 were here last month to do a convention and kept pronouncing it zeeeeebra. The "e" is in fact pronounced like the one in egg...now say it... Zebra...There...You got it! Just a bit of trivial fun.

Genius...I tell ya! Jim, you're amazing!

Wowzers!!! This tag armoire is so much more than I was hoping for when I asked about tag storage. Amazing! I'm very grateful for the detailed tutorial and I'm off to order my Rototrimmer.I think there'll be a shortage of cipboard when everone gets a gander at this project.
Thanks and hugs.

[Wendy H]

Wow!! Another amazing project. Love the vibrant colors and the use of the beautiful g45 papers. This is going to be an incredible year of g45 projects.

[Angelica]

Amazing!!! Love the hidden attic compartment.

[Marcela]

[Lynn Wild]

Jim you're a genius! Your Armoire is amazing and I love all the details. Thank you for a very detailed tutorial too.

Jim, how long does a project like this take to do, from concept to finish? Do you do it all at one sitting (can't imagine that) or over several days? Do you make a mock-up, ever, or just go for it? It would be fun to know these things--maybe you can blog about it sometime! The armoire, like everything you do, is amazing and wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing!
PS: Do you keep a huge stash of chipboard on hand in case you get inspired?

[Sabine Schirm-Springob]

Wow! It´s fantastic.
You are so creative and have so many beautiful ideas.
Chapeaux!

[Patti]

AWESOME!!! Very clever!!! Thank you for the step by step tutorial. Another one to add to my to do list.

[Cindy Lou]

Not only a great project for myself, but I will have to make two at the same time as the other will be a Christmas gift this year. Awesome idea and wonderfully explicit tute! Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see what you come up with next :) Blessings!
