*Manufacturers challenge*
Easy peasy challenge, just make something using products from one manufacturer. For the month of May, our manufacturer is going to be…
BasicGrey!
Feel free to mix in other supplies, but the majority of your project must be BasicGrey products.

I just rescued some Basic Grey from my give away pile. It’s pretty picked over because I used my favourite sheets long ago.

Here's my page. I once belonged to a BG kit club, so have quite a stash in the back of one drawer. I tend to go there when I am looking for soft muted colours and patterns that blend in with backgrounds and photos. Having raided that stash often for that type of paper, I seem to have quite a bit of the In-Your-Face bright patterns and colours left  . Used some of the bold stuff here. These papers, stickers, and wood veneer are from their "Vivienne" and "Aurora" lines  the good stuff by Gramma Dee, on Flickr |

grammadee Wow, love that background paper, it is awesome! Did you paint behind the photo, it looks great, lovely colours. I too love your design, it's perfect! stinkerbelle , WOW! Gorgeous LO's, I love your style! Great embellishing on all 3, they're just so fab, I love them all! I'm gonna claim a point for this one cause I used a much loved and long hoarded Basic Grey Rub-On! I have a few of these left and they still rub on quite well, I had a couple of issues with this one but it worked ok. I wish someone would re-release something in the style of these rub-ons cause they're so awesome for adding a real bold touch to the page.

stinkerbelle, did you order from Flutterby? I love those word stickers, I wish she'd design some more, the words are so useable! I don't know if it's juts that Kiwis/Aussies use the same kind of language but her word stickers are right up my street! Loving both those LO's, they're so lush! Eva was so pretty and you've done it justice for sure. Loving your style as always!

This dotty paper is Basic Grey. It was from a collection called Bow Ties which I don't even remember but I love this paper! The turquoise is the reverse side, I loved them both so I did a 9x12 so I could use the cutoff as well! I do love me a small repeating pattern and the solid colours BG used to do were always so lush you wanted to lick them!  |

I just did a Ketchup challenge and used Basic Grey on this LO. Highline again, I LOVE this collection! I was also following the April Sketch and did the right hand side of the DLO.  |

I know this is a May challenge, but I don't use a ton of BG, even though I have a bunch. LOL The 2 collections I have used here are my favorites, but I never saw it in person before it was gone. I found the 2 paper pads for these cards at Tuesday Morning a few months ago. So wishing I could find more!  |

this one uses junebug
