Vintage Challenge over at ScrapTiffany!

Hello my dear friends!! I have always loved the Vintage look.... but, have never tried before today!! Over at ScrapTiffany we were challenged to create something Vintage.

This is my take on it. This picture is one of my old time favorites. It is my great-grandmother and my mom. My grandfather took this picture (he was a proffesional photographer).

All the paper used is from Basic Grey, Cappella Collection.

My First Tri-Fold Card!! Halloween Theme!!!!

Hello friends! I really do hope you had a chance to go take a look at my BFF Gaby's Cricut Cake Apron Treat Bag!!! I LOVE it!!!!

Today, I have for you my very first tri-fold card! Had to practice a few times and waste some paper but got the hang of it and let me tell you I LOVE IT!!!! Why did I not try this before?!

Anyways, I used the newest K & Company Halloween collection for the patterned paper and Core'Dinations for the base card. I got to use for the first time my Mini-Monsters cart!!

I did not have any ugly/scary looking faces so I made this a nice witch!!

I hope you enjoy it!!

Don't forget that comments are what feed us blogaholics! :)

I will enter this card over at:

Nook and Pantry Card Kit from Basic Grey: Beautiful

Ok, I know I said the Marrakech was my favorite, but I really love this Nook and Pantry kit! The colors are more subtle and I love it!

One thing I really like about this kit is that you get to decorate inside the card for three cards!

Here are the cards:

Remember, if you see any bling and/or ribbon I added those.

Another Basic Grey Card Kit: Marrakech Collection

Well here I am again sharing with you these awesome Card Kits from Basic Grey. Today is Marrakech Collection and let me tell you... the cards are beautiful!!!!! When you get the kit you see the cards on the front and say "oh cute" but when you start doing them... well, them come to life!!!

Another thing I love about these kits is the different sizes they come in. For example this kit had:

(2) 5 x 7

(2) 5 x 5

(2) 4 x 5

(2) 3.5 x 9 

More things to share with you about the kits:

* Everything is pre-cut!!! You do not have to cut anything!!!!

* Extra rub-ons, in case you want to change the sentiment

For these cards I did use something extra on some... I will share that under each card.

All cards were inked with Color Box/Burnt Sienna

Added bling and added more rub-ons

Added ribbon and bling on the flower

Basic Grey Card Kits!! LOVING THEM!!

Hello all!!  If you follow me and follow my BFF Gaby you know that we are crazy for Basic Grey (she is more than me, don't tell her i said that!)!! We do the POTM (page of the month) and we LOVE it!!!

I had seen their card kits before but never gave it much attention. Well, I decided to buy some kits and help out my son's school as a fundraiser for a trip they are doing to DC.

These kits are awesome!!! It comes with everything you need! Each kits comes with enough material to create 8 cards and easy to follow instructions.

I started with the Wisteria collection and followed the instructions like they come.... but, I need my ribbon! For the next ones I will use some ribbon, bling, and maybe some stickles.

For now here are the three I made.

Don't forget to check out tomorrow for more Basic Grey cards!!
