ATC Swaps

I've been really slack on the atc front as Leonie's having a break from blogging and its not kicking me into action. So I've joined in with a couple swaps on the Spilt Coast Stampers Forum in the States. The first group (sorry for the pale photo) is Ace of Sugared for a Basic Grey atc swap and the second two are for Halloween swap one in just black and orange and the second in green, purple and black

My Time To Craft Challenge - Circles

For this weeks challenge from My Time To Craft is Circles. I've used Basic Grey's Cupcake range for this card, papers are from the 6" pad and the cupcake itself is from the chipboard stickers.

Papertake Weekly Challenge - Katharina's Sketch #2

For this weeks Papertakes Challenge I've used papers and clear stamps from Basic Grey's Archaic collection. The stamped image and matt are raised on foam pads to add a little dimension.

Arty Girlz Ribbon Challenge

Well this is my first attempt at a Bind-it-all project. My in-laws are off on a cruise in a couple of weeks and I thought that it might be nice for them to take a 6" mini album instead of a paper envelope stuffed full of photos. I've made it with ten pages and will add journelling and photos once MIL has decided which ones she would like to take. For the third project in a row I've used Two Scoops paper and cardstock stickers by Basic Grey. I promise something different for the next one.

First card based on a sketch

This weeks Daring Cardmakers Challenge is Butterflies, so I've created this card using Basic Grey cardstock stickers and papers from the Two Scoops range. I've never used a sketch or map to create a card before so I've given it a bash after finding a great site called, Page Maps, I'm sure I must be teaching loads of you to suck eggs but I found it really inspiring and will try to use them in more of my projects in the future.

On a Basic Grey Roll

This card is for this weeks My Time to Craft Challenge: Framed. I've used cardstock stickers and coordinating papers from Basic Grey's Two Scoops range and I must admit I'm loving the quality, the frame has been mounted on foam squares to add a bit of depth.

A Productive Day

I've managed to finish off the second in the series of Paper Nation Decoupage Display Boards, Adults, and this week I've used Archaic papers and chipboard by Basic Grey to complete the Funky Fairys Stars and Strips Challenge.

This challenge has been an excellent reason to get on and use some of my Basic Grey stock. I've fallen into a really bad habit of obsessive stroking and creating excellent designs in my minds eye, but doing nothing about it. So thank you girls for giving me the push. You never know you might start to see some of my, minds eye, projects appearing quite soon.
