Thrilling News!

Hello friends, been a couple of days absence around the little blog..after a long week at work I literally just took some time to wind down and well frankly my craft room was like a crafting explosion had happened, so in order to craft again I had to do the big clean up.

Finally completing that task today I was able to create the card that I am sharing with you all tonight...I decided to crack open my Simon Says May Card Kit and created a card, using lots of the new line from Basic Grey that was contained within the kit...

Speaking of Basic Grey, I suppose this comes to the point of explaining the title of today's post...well I have exciting news and I have been almost bursting at the seams to let you all know...a little while back the sweet Mel Bauer asked me if I would Guest Design for Basic Grey..I was almost too giddy with excitement and was thrilled to say yes.

Today is my first day and I have an introduction card for you all to check out over at the Basic Grey Blog..would love for you to pop over and check it out...I also have a sneak peek for you here too..


Now onto the card for today, I had a lot of fun creating a card using the May Card Kit from Simon Says, fun Basic Grey products and the fabulous and talented Kristina Werner's exclusive stamp set, that I might add I cannot wait to use again.


All of what you see on this collaged card was created using the products contained within the kit..if you have not had a chance to view what these kits are all about you can do so HERE.

Time for this one to grab some sleep..

Enjoy viewing all the fun stuff today..

Hugs

BOTH of those cards are just wonderful! I was looking at your BG card and thinking parts looked familiar. I realized that I was SERIOUSLY checking out the papers at my LSS this week. I passed them up but now, after seeing them in action (particularly that awesome chevron), I may have to cave and get some after all.
