Had to photograph them and load them - you'll be sorry you asked now :rotfl2:

In no particular order (the photos are all several years old, the pages less than a year) using fruitcake and urban couture collections:

I'll do it in installments....

Maybe I missed it but I haven't seen basic grey discussed too much here.
I do look at basic grey layouts at twopeas all the time--their layouts are usually way too elaborate for me to scraplift though.

(This used some other papers as well)

I find the tags the hardest things to use so suggestions for them would be great!

Both of these use Basic Grey paper:

I think it was from the Scarlet Letter line, though I don't remember the exact name of the paper. I like the Basic Grey paper cause its kind of grungy, which I like.

At scrapbook.com they have a preview of the new lines that Basic Grey is going to be revealing at the one convention coming up in Chicago. There are some really beautiful sets coming out! :)

I love the looks of the Basic Grey lines. My problem is that when I buy it, it's so pretty I don't want to use unless it's for something really, really special which is silly, isn't it? I have started using it but don't have any pictures. I did scraplift something from the Basic Grey website though I modified it somewhat. I'm just not as elaborate as some of their designers.

These are great~!
I have been on 2 peas but was looking to see what you girls can do! As you have seen from my other posts...I'm trying to finish my 06 disney book.
Thanks!

I used to be the same - keeping it cosy in the bag, or just using a thin strip at the edge of the page. (It seemed extravagent to use it UNDEr photos where you can't see it:rolleyes1 )Then I though - if I don't scrap with it what am I saving it for? There's always new lines coming out, or you can buy more of the same;)
