Passionate about ... More Basic Grey Curio! ~



I thought I'd share a couple of DT projects that I did earlier this month for Generations Crafting using Basic Grey's Curio collection.  (BTW, right now Floren has this on sale for 25% off.)

Now, I'm hoping I'm not the only one out here with this same Glamour Shots hairdo and make-up. Went with a family member and had these done ... oh, my! But at the time, it was fun!

I had a great time making my own doiley for this page using my friend Beatriz Guzman's technique. You can visit her blog HERE. Essentially I cut longer strips into about one inch strips and layered them around the circle.  Looks great! (Thanks, Bea!) 

I used my Martha Stewart deep edged punch near the bottom of the page on that gorgeous Chiffonier paper .. but then made it somewhat opaque by adding some fringe-y beaded trim above it. 


Of course, I added flowers, bling and a butterfly. Then computer generated my journaling.  Here are a few close-ups.







Speaking of Bea .. she recently sent me the template for the mini albums with the bamboo skewer spine and sent along the cutest card.



This was another fun layout to do of my dgd Maddison getting her diploma! Her sister finished in May but Maddie stayed another semester to play soccer for the team. I don't normally use alot of green and yellow together .. mostly yellow (because I love green and use it often) .. but really love how this turned out. The yellow really brightens up the page.

Again, I used the Basic Grey Curio collection . chiffonier, textile, upholestery and pinking shears. The bling is a Prima Say it in Pears in light brown, the butterflies are from my stash and the punch was another one of my Martha Stewart deep edged punches. My title was again computer-generated.  It was a really quick page but I just love the color combo!

Thanks for coming by and taking a peek.
