Origins & Sugar Rush- Basic Grey's New Lines

We have gotten in two new lines from Basic Grey, Sugar Rush and Origins. They have two completely different looks, and I love them both. Sugar Rush would work great for scrapbooking or paper crafting projects for Valentine's Day. Origins is a great line for outdoorsy layouts, in hues of brown, yellow and green. Nicole, who designs and teaches our mini book classes, made this adorable layout using the Origins line, that is displayed in an 8x8 shadowbox.

This line is also great for covering items such as mdf boxes that can be displayed in your home. Here are a couple boxes Megan decorated using this line and they turned out fabulous.

One of my very favorite paper companies just came out with an ADORABLE christmas line! It's called Very Merry by October Afternoon. I love these because they aren't just your traditional Christmas colors & themes: most of the paper line is done in light pink, light blue, red, brown, and green. Some of the papers feature gingerbread men & cute little houses. The line includes several paper styles, cardstock stickers, and a clear stamp set.
