Brand new Vivienne collection from BasicGrey

Have you seen the two new BasicGrey collections that were revealed this week?

Check the BasicGrey blog for peeks at both Vivienne and Aurora and for a chance to win the full collections of each.

Vivienne is a beautiful collection with coral, yellow, brown- great for fall scrapping but also wonderful for everyday projects.

I had the opportunity to create with this collection and here is what I made:

I had an idea in my head for one of my projects and hope that this one turned out like I envisioned. I really liked the layout that I did using the Highline collection where I stapled bits to strips of paper. I used the same basic idea to create this only I went with circles this time. 

There is so much variety in the embellishments from this collection- from tile alphas to wooden accents, frames, transparent and cardstock pieces and resin flowers. It really is a beautiful line. 

I cut the circles on my Silhouette Cameo and then cut/punched the other circles and lots of butterflies which I then added to the circle there on the left. I used punches from Fiskars (largest butterfly) and Martha Stewart. The white and gold twine is something that I picked up a while back from a Target dollar spot. 

I will be back soon to share my other Vivienne project along with two using the cute new Aurora line.

Notes &Things from Crate Paper

I was so excited to get to play with the new Crate Paper Notes & Things collection for an article for The Scrap Review. It is gorgeous and easy to scrap, just like Crate is known for.

Here is a layout that I created. I also made a couple of cards that I will share tomorrow.

I started out by building the page background using a few paper strips on the right and then added my favorite spray mist- Studio Calico Mister Huey in Dewey. I put together the tag accent on the left and added some chipboard frames. The big pink arrow is from one of the journaling cards.

The Notes & Things collection has such a great variety of embellishments, my favorite of which were these layered butterflies. 

What do you think of the collection? 

Isn't it so gorgeous? 

Have a great day!
