Basic Grey Galore!

Hello everybody, I've been having some fun in my scrap room lately and wanted to share.

To start, I played along with a Basic Grey sketch challenge using the PB and J 6x6 paper pad and am so happy with card I made.  I just love the designs in this collection and had fun mixing them up.

Here is the sketch:
Don't you just love the doily and banners? http://blog.basicgrey.com/?p=6470

I actually stayed pretty true to the sketch but added some extra elements just for fun.  Here is my card:

 As I mentioned, I used the PB&J 6x6 papers and sticker, BG red button, American Crafts twine, Spellbinders Lacy Doily dies, and Martha Stewart Crafts bumble bee.  The sticker says "my baby bumble bee" and I'm thinking I'll send this to my daughter in her next college care  package.


Another thing I love about these PB&J papers is how they can be used for both feminine and masculine projects.  Here is another card I made using the 6x6 paper and got a really different look:

Lastly, here is a project I completed for a challenge at Crop Chocolate using Basic Grey's beautiful Kioshi paper and stickers.  I think I'll use this one for my Mom's birthday, it's so springy and delicate.


I hope you enjoyed these cards and thanks for stopping by.  If you can, leave me a comment and let me know which Basic Grey paper line is your favorite.
