New Basic Grey is Here!!

The two latest collections from Basic Grey are here!! Would you like to see some of the new goodies? Here are my top three favorites from each new collection:


6" x 6" Little Black Dress Papers
With a Burberry-esque plaid print, lace, cheetah, AND paisley!!! My head is spinning with the possibilities!

Little Black Dress Eclectic Embellishments
These embellishments are beautiful and classy! I like how clean and simple they are, but if you're more into grunge you can always distress them with the Sanding Grip!

Little Black Dress Card Kit
Keep them black, cream, and white or introduce another color or sparkle! Great to invite a few friends to a dinner party, say thank you, or just drop a line to say hello!

All fashion magazines say that every woman needs a Little Black Dress. I don't think this collection is an exception!! : )



These Metals Flowers are a new item! I love the vintage feel they have - they remind me of my Grandma in a wonderful, nostalgic way. She loved trinkets!


Picadilly 6" x 6" Papers
Bright colors are always fun! Make your projects pop by die-cutting these to frame an image or create Leaves and Flowers with them! Use the 12 x 12 papers for B-Side Crafting (they're double-sided)!



These buttons could be stained to match a project, used to hook a book closed, or even just arranged as a border for a card! I like the foliage and the down-home feel of these!

Michelle, who writes our newsletter and also for our blog, LOVES the new Piccadilly collection! I have to agree with her - the colors are fabulous and fun! It cheers me up to just look at the colors and neat embellishments!

Here is a superb card by Jennifer McGuire!

    Addition of HTC mobiles in the smartphone specific segment at RightShopping.in is surely good news for the smartphone shoppers. Matched with the technical richness and smart appearance, surely HTC is ready to woo the clients. The visit to www.rightshopping.in/g/itb.asp?C=HTC-Mobile-Phones&b=HTC&cid=1 explores more details.
