Well this is a challenge designed for me! I use BG on nearly every layout! I'll do birthday pages with "Cupcake".



I just ordered the much loved and long since retired "Vagabond" collection pack on Ebay today. Can't wait to get it.

I have some Basic Grey in my stash that is just waiting to be used. I think I may even have some embellishments to go with it.

I loved this challenge. It all came together so easily. I used the Basic Grey Mellow paper, alphabet and die cuts. The pictures are of my kitchen cupboards and refrigerator. They were taken as part of a weight loss challenge on another board. The pages are the first one in my 2008 pages in webshots.

Such cute pages Cathy! They came together so well. I love the letters too and all the die-cuts. Great job.

It makes me want to go buy some Basic Grey paper. I have never owned any.

April Layout Challenge: use the basic grey.....you know...um....about this......... you know , I really don't look in basic grey.... and if I am going to layout can I wear a one piece in plain black? Where am I laying out at? Is it in the field of flowers or in a factory?....oh... so excited... what a challenge. I feel so honored to be picked..... oh wait a minute... I don't like to be photographed......can everyone just use a pic of a holstein cow and pretend it is me.(April)

Oh, you must. They just go with everything. I collect the collection packs now. I just found Vagabond on ebay which was discontinued a while ago. I'm going to use their new "Cupcake" line on a birthday layout today! They are starting to go with some themed sets but they aren't so "in your face theme" if you know what I mean.

Here's the website just to see good pictures of the collections.

You can buy it pretty inexpensively online. I like

They have the new ones in stock and at a good price. I recommend buying the whole collection pack instead of individual sheets. HTH

They sure do have gorgeous paper. I've bought a sheet or two over the years. I've never seen a collection?
