Basic Grey Challenge: Anything goes

Hi there and welcome to another BasicGrey challenge!

Unfortunately this will be my last one as well.
It's with pain in my heart doing it, but it's the right thing at this point.

This fortnight's challenge is "Anything goes", so I created a Halloween card. I just loooooove the combination of green, orange, purple and black!

Colored the image with my Spectrum Noir markers and am sooooo extremely happy with them and their storage!
Had a week off work and sometimes I just sat down looking at all those markers, lovely organized by color *lol*
It really made me happy :)

Anyways... back to my card for the BasicGrey challenge....

And a detailphoto where you can see the glitter I put on Tilda's hair and panty ;)

So... from this place in cyberspace I really want to thank all my teamies at the BasicGrey Challenges!!

**LOVE YOU!!**

And I'd like to thank you for coming over.... THANK YOU!!!



Thank you so much for coming over and hope to see you around later on!

BasicGrey Challenge: Fun in the sun

Hi there (again :))


Oh, what a lovely, sunny and warm week we had overhere with some major thunderstorms last Fridaynight.
Today is the start of another BasicGrey challenge: Fun in the Sun.
Get your sunny images out and create something with them using BasicGrey items.


Last couple of weeks I received some lovely new items, also these flip-flopdies. Already love them! :)
So I just *had* to use them for this BasicGrey Challenge in combination with the lovely Hello Luscious 6x6 paperpad.

Thank you very much for coming over.

BasicGrey Challenges: Fave colorcombo

Hi there and welcome to my blog :)

Today is the start of a new BasicGrey Challenge... Fave colorcombo.
It sure won't be a surprise what my fave colorcombo will be, but I really was doubting as I like pink and white, red and white, etc. a lot, but I just knew I had to use green and red :)
Red has always been my fave color since I was little and I just loooooooove green as well (just open my closet and you'll find loads of green and red clothes).

So I made a Christmascard for you with my fave colorcombo: Red & Green.
Used a LOTV stamped image. Oh, I just so love those images!

Thanks so much for coming over. Hope to see you later on.
In the meantime... visit the BasicGrey Challengesblog for more fave colorcombo's of the DT. They made some awesome projects as always :)

BasicGrey Challenges: CAS

Hi there and welcome to another BasicGrey Challenge.

This time it's CAS... Clean & Simple... just right in my alley :)

Thanks so much for coming over.
Please visit the BasicGrey challenges blog for more inspiration from the DT and to participate in this challenge...thanks! :)

This time we like to challenge you with a 1-2-3 recipe: use 1 image, 2 patterned papers and 3 embellies.
Ok, you gotta find out what my things are, so here's my card:

Basic Grey Challenge: Spring Colors

Hi there!!

I will be sooooooooo enjoying myself today as I will be on the largest stamp- and scrapshow in The Netherlands today. Really love that one and have waited a year for this day to come.
All my fave shops are there and yeah... I probably will come home with some gorgeous goodies as well *lol*

But well... it's also time for another BasicGrey Challenge :)

This time we like you to be inspired by Spring Colors.
So here's my take on the challenge...really loved playing with my new stamps and really great diecut!
Used the Hello Lucious 6x6 paperpad.

When you pull the strip of cardstock, here's a cool sentiment underneath as well :)
Made this card for someone who's celebrating her birthday tomorrow. Think she will like it (I hope *lol*)

Thanks so much for coming over.
Please visit the challengeblog as well, and play along. We got a great prize!

BG Challenges: Easter 2012 featuring Magnolia

Hi there and happy Saturday to you all!

It was Spring last week, but the last couple of days it's grey and cold! But hopefully this Magnolia Eastercard will bring some warmth and sunshine :)

Today it's time for another BasicGrey Challenge and the theme is "Easter".
Made it with a BasicGrey Picadilly 6x6 paperpad. Love the colors of it!
I couldn't resist using a Magnolia on the card. Love them a lot, but for some reason the Easterstamps aren't among my faves. But well... I like this one, reminds me of my childhood.. painting eggs, hide them and search for them in the livingroom.

But you're here for the card, so here it is...

Thanks so much for coming over! Hope to see you again soon :)

Basic Grey challenges: Mother's Day/Girlie

Good morning!

Thanks for visiting my blog. It's Saturday and it's been 2 weeks since the last Basic Grey challenge, so it's time for a new one and it's called "Mother's Day/Girlie".
I choose for the Girlie theme, but the image is also ok for a Mother's Day card ;)

Ohhhhhhhh... I bought this stamp in London last year and never inked it up, so it was time to do so and here's the result :)

I used the "Hello Luscious" 6x6 BasicGrey paperpad, perfect for girlie cards :)

Thanks for visiting me, hope to see you again later.

BasicGrey Challenge: Spring Photo inspiration

This is my 2nd post today...Please scroll down or click here for the MCSC challenge!! Thanks!! :)


Hi there and welcome again!! :)

This time it's time for another Basic Grey challenge. We're inspired by a Spring Photo you can find at the challengeblog.
When I saw this photo, I knew I wanted to use this image. This is one of my alltime fave stamps I have (and yes... I have a lot ;)). Think it reminds me of when I was young, picking daisies and making a headthingy of them. Cherishing those days a lot! :)

Anyways... here's my card. Used BasicGrey Euphoria 6x6 paperpad to create it.

Thanks so much for coming over again!
Don't forget to go to the BasicGrey Challenges blog for more inspiration from the other DT-members and your chance to play with us :)

BasicGrey Challenges: Something new

And we're back with another BasicGrey Challenge!
On behalf of the team I'd like to wish you a happy 2012 and may you join us with all our challenges as well :)

As the new year just started, we'd love to see "Something new" from your stash on your card (you must at least use one BasicGrey item!!).
This time we're sponsored by the lovely Simon Says Stamp and the winner will get a $ 25 spending spree! Whoowhoooooooooo!! If I wasn't on the DT, I surely would have joined this challenge!
En we zijn weer terug met een nieuwe BasicGrey Challenge!
Namens het team wil ik jullie graag een happy 2012 toewensen en dat je maar vaak met onze challenges mee mag doen :)

Aangezien het nieuwe jaar net is begonnen, willen we graag "Something new/Iets nieuws" uit je voorraad (en wie heeft die nu niet, geef toe *smile*) zien (wel willen we minimaal 1 BasicGrey item terugzien!!).
Ditmaal worden we gesponsord door Simon Says Stamp en de winnaar van de challenge krijgt een $ 25 shoppingspree! Whooowhooo! Als ik niet in het DT zat, had ik zeker meegedaan!

Anyways... here's my creation.

I used some lovely BasicGrey Nordic papers from the 6x6 paperpad and a lovely LOTV sentimentstamp. Both are new, even the cardstock is new!

Anyways... hier is mijn creatie.

Ik heb geweldig mooi BasicGrey Nordic papiertjes van het 6x6 paperpad gebruikt en een supergeweldige LOTV tekststempel. Beiden zijn nieuw, zelfs het witte cardstock!

And a detailphoto to see I used some 3d-tape for some dimension...
En een detailfoto, zodat het 3d-tape iets beter is te zien....

Basic Grey Challenge: Mix & Match Lily of the Valley card

Hi there and welcome! :)

Oh boy... busy, busy, busy, headaches, headaches and more headaches... not a day without them :(
Ok, I will stop now, as there are a lot more worse things in the world.

Anyways... welcome to another Basic Grey challenge!!
This time we're mixing things up and wow... it sure was a challenge for me, but when I looked through my stash of 6x6 paperpads, it kinda was quite easy. Just combined the background paper from the Oliver collection and the patterned papers from the Jovial collection.
And this is the way it turned out...

And a detailphoto...

Even though I totally am a cat-person, I think this Lily of the Valley dog is quite cute and love it as well :)
Bought that image last year in London and the sentiment stamp is also from Lily of the Valley and bought it last time in London (loved being there!) at a stamp and scrapbooking fair and they both finally saw some ink :) 

So... now it's your turn to get those Basic Grey papers out of your closets and get mixing and matching them together to find awesome combinations.

Please join us at the challengeblog. And while you're there, please visit the other DT-members as well... great projects!

Thanks very much for coming over and hope to see you next time :)

Basic Grey Challenges: Anything Goes

Hi there and welcome again to my blog :)

This time it's time to reveal what I made for the BasicGrey Challenge: Anything Goes.
I'm still into the Halloween home-decoprojects. I just loooooooove making home-decoprojects, only problem is I don't have a large house, so will be giving this away :)

I wanted to use this cute stamp of Batty Tilda in combination with the Booooo background, so I masked a little, colored a bit here and there, used some BasicGrey Eerie papers from the 6x6 paperpad, altered a black photoframe and.... voila.... here's my project:

And a detailphoto...

Thank you very much for coming over!
I'd like to invite you to play along with this challenge over at the Basic Grey Challengeblog.
There you will also find all the other gorgeous inspiration projects the other members of the DT made and WOW!! They just blew me away and I'm sure they will do the same to you :)

See you later! :)

Basic Grey Challenges Fall/Halloween

Hi there!

I'm here *again*. This time for the Basic Grey Challenges.
The theme is "fall, autumn, halloween".

I made my CAS card with the awesome Eerie-paperpad which I bought a year back (I think, or it was 2 years ago). Love the colors of it and it really gives me a vintage look.

I combined my papers with an awesome Elzybells-stamp I bought a long, long time ago. Luckily I did, as Elzybells isn't there anymore and I always found their stamps very whimsical. Don't you just love the circle sentiment and Dracula?? I sure do!

Anyways... here's my card. Enjoy...

Hope you can join me and the other DT-members on this challenge. Thanks! :)
Go visit the blog for more inspiration.

Hopefully I will be crafting a lot more the coming week. Hardly got any time after work nowadays.

Thanks for coming over and see you later! :)

Hi there and welcome to another BasicGrey Challenge!

It's a great one (as usuall!), and this time it's time to celebrate! So what are you waiting for...there's just sooooo much in life to celebrate!

As I'm already in the Christmasmood with all my cards, I've made a Christmascard. It's become a real CAS one, sooooooo simple to make, within 5 minutes time! So just perfect for the last minute Christmascards.

I used the awesome BasicGrey paperpad Jovial. Just loooooooooove those Christmascolors!
Finished the card with a button and a PTI sentimentstamp. Just perfect :)

Thank you very much for coming over!

Basic Grey Challenges: Sizzling Summer

Happy Saturday!

It's time for another Basic Grey Challenge! Whoowhoo!!
Don't know about you, but overhere in The Netherlands we hardly saw sun the last couple of weeks. Fortunately the last days the sun has shined a lot and it was quite warm as well, but for the other weeks it sometimes felt like Fall.
But... we're still in Summertime, so what better way to celebrate it with this fortnight's theme: Sizzling Summer!

I used a stamp I haven't used in over a year, so was quite happy to ink it up again :)
Think this stamp defenately means Summer.

And a detailphoto where you can see the glitter a bit better:

Thank you very much for coming over!

See you later! :)

BasicGrey challenge: A sketch

Hi there!

It's time for another challenge at the BasicGrey Challenges blog. This time Heather made a sketch for us to follow. I turned it.
I wanted to make a Christmascard as it's "just" around the corner, only 5 more months before the tree will be here in my house with all the decorations as well. But this also means it's time to send the cards, so I'm making them all year round.
This card is made with the BasicGrey Jovial 6x6 paperpad. Oh... I just looooooooove those papers, those colors are my true Christmasfeeling: Red (which is my fave one in general as well) and Green. Giving me the "old fashioned" Christmasfeeling.

Anyways... here's the card:

Thanks for coming over. Please check out the BasicGrey Challengesblog for loads of inspiration from the DT and we would love you to play along with us :)
