Some Old Pages

Well, as most of you probably know, Basic Grey is having a DT call. Any of you that have known me for very long will remember that BG was my very first, favorite manufacturer! My nickname over at sb.com back in 2005-2008 was "the basic grey queen", LOL~~~

I haven't decided whether or not to try for this, I usually don't have much luck with these things, but I'm throwing the idea around. I know there will be many who do apply and I wish you all luck. It did get me to browsing through my old pages and I thought that I would share a few of my favorites!!! Now keep in mind, some of these, in fact most, are pretty old and my style was way different then, lol!!!

TCR #70 & Echo Park

I got to do a sample for the store (EMI) with Echo Park's Victoria Gardens and the paper is lucious! I am loving the designs and colors in this collection!!! I used this for the palette for the challenge at The Color Room this week.

And, here is my take on the challenge! I used Webster's Pages Yacht Club papers. My perfect day is any day spent at the beach!!!! I used WorldWin cardstock (black) that's the only cardstock that I use if possible. I used acrylic paint behind the paper for a beachy feel to the page.
