Kissy kissy smoochy .... BasicGrey's Kissing Booth!

I'm really loving the Kissing Booth Line from BasicGrey. The collection went really well with some photos I took from my daughter Nicole's recent 7th birthday. She and her classmates had an afternoon of crafting with the theme of a tea party. They made cupcakes, mini albums and all of those girly stuff.

I also used the new dies from Cheery lynn, Dutch Scallop, and Dainty Dutch Deco. It's actually a set of two dies in one. There is a suqare frame, and a small doily inside. I used the two doilies for this layout.

Here is one of two layouts I made for the event...

And since I had to make two layouts - one for Nicole and one for Cheska, here is the 2nd layout using the same collection from BasicGrey...

Love it yet?! It's really amazing and will be perfect for your coming Valentine's photos!

Thanks for your visit and an advanced Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!

 

Papers, chipboards, and powders..

Happy new year everyone! A brand new year... a brand new set of goals... and a brand new opportunity to live a better life, to pursue one's dreams, to maybe let go of some and set new ones.

This year I hope to be able to go back to the very reason why I have kept myself in this industry - and that is because I enjoyed the process. But as I have gone through the demands of creating for shows, publications, design teams, I realized that I have been creating more for the need to "get the job done" rather than to satisfy the need to create and to record memories. I have always been in-love with mixed media and make it a point to include techniques in my classes. I hope I can do more of that too in my daily pages and projects.

I am still part of manufacturer teams that I admire and respect but this time I took one step further and will be creating with a couple of mixed media companies also - laser chipboard pieces and embossing powders. I think that will be a pretty fun mix right? 

So to start off the new year of creating for me, my very first layout for 2012 was created with the brand new collection from BasicGrey - "Kissing Booth"! When I first saw the preview of this line, I have been continually asking when we will be able to get our hands on it. Let me show you why...

BasicGrey comes up with some of the most vibrant vintage patterns and colors and then complements it with stunning embellishments like these chipboard pieces...

die-cut sticker shapes...

dimensional stickers and letter stickers in varied sizes...

then... to make it more my own, I added this lamp post chipboard piece from Dusty Attic, texturized with gesso, paint and WOW embossing powder in "Sierra Sunset".

another chipboard from Dusty Attic this time with the WOW Bubblegum powder layered with Sierra Sunset powder.

on this part I used Ranger paint with WOW Gummybear Green powder.

The new WOW embossing powders by Suzy West will be launched soon at CHA. There are so many colors to die for! If you want to take a peek - check it out HERE.

Thanks for your visit everyone! Happy new year once again!

Before I go, I just wanted to share a few of my BasicGrey layouts from the new and the previous collections (yeah I really am crazy about BasicGrey).

Thanks for your visit!!

Basic Grey's "Picadilly"!

So I was giddy with excitement when I received a box from Basic Grey filled with all of the recent CHA releases and I kind of went on hibernation mode cause I just kept looking at the papers. Well, ok I also started hand cutting the patterns as you can imagine. Anyway, I just had to start with this one... my favorite from all the oh so gorgeous collections. Thank you BASIC GREY!  I love everything.

Here is "Picadilly"

Beautiful patterns, rich and vibrant colors, stunning embellishments... I love it! I'm sure you do too.

I also wanted to share that Basic Grey has a blog already and it is up and running with some really big news!! Yes, A DT CALL! Check it out here. 

Thanks for your visit!

BasicGrey "Hello Luscious" and "Lauderdale"

I'm so happy to have a few spare days this week to sit down and work on the new BasicGrey lines that I received a few weeks ago. I have to say that all four lines are beautiful but my favorite so fas is "Hello Luscious". Here are a few layouts I made using the new collection...

Ist Up... "Hello Luscious"

added a Tim Holtz timepiece metal embellishment...

and a paper clip and canvas tag from an older BG line.

Here is another layout featuring "Hello Luscious". Nicole just turned 6 here and we took this picture of her with her grandma Helen at Hongkong Disneyland...

added a few really old random embellishments I had lying around in my stash.

Now on to the brighter, funkier, retro feel collection "Lauderdale"... This one is really fun. I had a blast with this collection...

Added a chipboard tree sticker from BG Lemonade

Lauderdale canvas tags and BG fabric flowers..

BasicGrey Lauderdale on Basics paper...

 Added chipboard shapes from "Olivia" collection.

Thank you BasicGrey for all the collection packs. I will definitely be back with more BG layouts. I'll be working next on the "Life of the Party" and "Sweet Threads" collection.

Thanks for your visit!

Thanks for your visit!

 

Basic Grey "Wander" Line

Hi everyone! I'm back with another layout for BasicGrey... this time I worked on the "Wander Line". Perfect for travel photos. But in my case, I used photos that I took during my workshop with Gunther Deichmann - an amazing photographer who is a great teacher as well.

I just love the printed paper with the cityscape... Speaking of City Landscape, I just want to share with you an amazing layout created by my friend Cathy LaHay. You just have to see this.. she made her own buildings!! Go Look HERE.

Have a great day! Oh by the way, we will be posting the winners for the Webster's Wonderfall blog hop, soon. Good luck to everyone who joined!
