Hi everyone, hope your weekend is off to a good start, it definitely is for me, BasicGrey Challenges are back with a whole new look blog, fortnightly combinable (is that a word?) challenges and a great sponsor on a monthly basis, Simon Says Stamp. Lots of changes and all the info can be found on the blog with fantastic inspiration from my DT friends and our lovely guest designer for August, June. Hope you can join us for the first challenge which is a gorgeous sketch designed by our very talented Tara and which I loved so much I made a layout!!! Thanks Tara, it's a really great one.
I've used June Bug papers and photographs from our holiday which I've altered in photoshop to give an art print look. The background is aqua bazzil card, I've embossed it here and there with the Morroccon screen cuttlebug folder and all the photo's and die cut letters are matted with black bazzil card. I was really excited about this layout partly because I hardly ever make them and then because I entered it for the BasicGrey website gallery and they've accepted it, big grin from ear to ear! Hope you have a lovely weekend and some sun, wherever you are. TFL. Chris x

I love how you did this! The photo with the printed paper--very cool. It's busy (in a good way) and just screams New York. Especially with the black behind it all.

Fortnightly combinable, well, might not be a word, but it's got the makings of my favorite type of challenge, whatever the actual terminology might be, I like your term, it has a certain ring to it!!
Wow, this LO looks terrific, love the pictures and how you've altered them and the JuneBog papers look great!! How prompt you are, mine would be dated '07. I don't think I will ever catch up...
Thanks for coming by and visiting my entry!! Take Care,
Stephanne
