BasicGrey!
I wonder if you all have as much as I do. When I first started scrapping, BasicGrey was the #1 paper choice for many including me. Their collections are so big & of course I bought 2 of every sheet. Over the years, that really piles up! I've used alot but nowhere near as much as I've bought. Their was a small period where I didn't buy much as all because of how much I have & their style was straying from what I really loved about them. In my opinion, they are back on track & so now my collection is back to growing. I also have a HUGE pile of their rubons!

Use as much of it as you can. Layer it up, make a mini book or create a fun group of cards or even create an altered project. The choice is yours.!

Completing this challenge by the due date will get you one entry in the February prize drawing, so be sure to share your layout in our gallery here...

I had some photos I was trying to scrap but wasn't happy with any of my paper choices. I did a little shopping & thought the Oliver collection would be perfect. It was! (I think)

I have a ton of older BG papers I never used. What fab motivation to use them and make room for new ones. :-D

I have TONS of BG paper..but I think I am just collecting them. I loved their style, but I was unsure of how to use them, it always seemed to lack something. But now I am grabbing them out of storage and going to play.

I used to love that everything matched. There were a couple busy designs, but lots of simple ones too. Then they got real crazy with prints & some sheets not really blending well. (for me anyway) It seems like they are going back to more simple designs that mix in with the busy designs & all sheets have the same color scheme. They do have a really great gallery on their site that I love to check out for ideas.

Love your layout Kristi.

Lots of BG here, too - I could probably scrap for a year with nothing but Basic Grey papers and not run out, LOL. Great challenge!

Here is the Jovial Line- I scrapped my friend's 2010 Christmas card.

Great layout kristi and great papers you picked!

As long as is Basic Grey, old papers are ok to use?
I have tons of the old ones that I want to use for school and pet layouts and they are already in page kits. This will be the right moment to use them...
