Weekly Challenge : Use BasicGrey Solid Papers Only

Homecoming Dance | Keisha Campbell

THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE : Use BasicGrey Solid Papers Only.

This week, I’ve asked our BasicGrey design team member Keisha Campbell to participate in our challenge. Feel free to interpret this week’s challenge however you’d like!

Keisha explains, ”To give my layout both pattern and texture I not only stamped the tags I used but also heat embossed them”

We can’t wait to see what you create for this week’s challenge! Leave a comment below with a link to your project and we’ll select one commenter at random to receive a collection pack of your choice. Comment must be posted by April 12, 2012 at 11:59p MST.

If you upload your layout to your blog or online gallery, be sure to also upload it to our new BasicGrey flickr page so that other BG fans can find your work easily.

So chic and elegant! Love your style Keisha♥

I loved this challenge and it was a challenge as I am a patterned paper freak – but got to work with a couple of punches. You can see my design here.

Love using Basic Grey plain paper for backgrounds. Just enough texture to make it interesting.Here’s my contribution to the challenge.

That’s a real challenge – to use only solid paper. I used a couple of papers from Eskimo Kisses collection and some pieces from Oliver collection

Here is my take on the solid only papers. I had fun with this since sometimes I purchase the patterned paper simply for the solids on the reverse side. I used solids from the following lines: urban prairie, sugar rush, june bug, life of the party, and marrakech. My only add-ons were the ribbon and flowers.

Here is my take on the challenge! Thanks!!

I love using Basic Grey solids for my backgrounds and this challenge gave me the opportunity to use up a few scrap pieces I had lying around too. It really made me think about how to make my layout interesting! I used papers from the Oxford, Hopscotch and Life of the Party ranges.

I used papers from Nordic, Kissing Booth and Oh Baby! This was a fun challenge for me. I rarely do a layout without some patterned paper somewhere on it. I like the way this one came out. Thanks for the inspiration.

Here’s the link for my layout:
