Pages and Projects From Basic Grey

 Happy Holidays!

    Right now i'm listening to my favorite holiday cds. There is nothing beter than listening to your favorite artists sing your favorite holiday songs, over and over. Ecspecially while at work! Christmas music seems to always be able to make me happy, no matter what time it is or where i am! I hope everybody is enjoying the holiday music as much as i am!

    Basic Grey has come out with many holiday layouts, and other crafts. I love these projects! They truly capture the essence of the holiday season! Try and create your own layout, and capture your favorite holiday moments. Maybe ill make one about my love for holiday music :D (click on the images for full sized pictures)

 

I love how she used photoshop to only show the cookies color! it makes the theme of the page stand out so much more than if the color would have been in all color. What would Christmas be without sugar cookies and milk!?

 

    This project is made by using the Euphoria line from Basic Grey. The colors may not be traditional red and green, but they still portray the theme of winter beautifully! I love how she took a line, and made it work for her! Euphoria has nothing to do with the holidays, and I found it very creative to use it for a page like this.

 

 

 

Have a great week!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holiday Season!!!!

    I hope everyone enjoyed all of the videos from last month! I know i had a blast finding them! I cant wait to try some of those ideas out myself... But now that November is over, i think its time we started to get in the holiday spirit! December is one of my favorite months out of the year! From the slight nip in the air, to the guys ringing bells outside your favorite stores, there is something for everyone to love!

  Make sure to take time and reminisce on all of your favorite memories of 2008. Every year our extended family takes turns making the family calendar. And i have the best time looking for pictures of many family too include. Its so fun to remember what a great year it has been.

Here is something that i found so cute! Enjoy... and try it out for yourself!!! ;)

Santa, baby

[bah-dum, bah-dum]

Santa baby, slip some Wassail™ under the tree, for me
I’ve been a awful good girl Santa baby,
I have a crop to go to tonight

Santa baby, a collection pack of Bittersweet™ too, will do
Valentine’s is coming so fast
Santa baby, I want to make my love cards tonight

Think of all that I’ll create
Think of all the pages that simply cannot wait
Next year I’ll be a good girl, too
If you’ll bring me some BG loot

[bah-dum, bah-dum]

Santa baby, I want a set of printed chip shapes, in case

I need some stars on my page
Santa baby, bring me one of every set

Santa honey, there’s one little thing I really need, a mat—

magnetic with all the tacks
Santa baby, a Rub-On Roller would be the best

Come and make my holidays

with some color rub-ons so that I can play
I really do believe you know
That BasicGrey would make my Christmas glow

[bah-dum, bah-dum]

Santa cutie, fill my sock with buttons and

stamps and brads

glazed and painted for me
Santa baby, I have a lot of projects to make

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a pack
of every BasicGrey line
Santa baby, I know you’ll fit them into your sack
