Basic Grey Lemonade LO

Basic Grey Lemonade range + my pink & cream Cupcakes... what better match?

I was inspired by

this cupcake icing tutorial to try my hand @ a bit of piping, & I loved the results so much, I took a million photos!! When I saw the luscious lime green, pink & yellow colour pallette of the Lemonade PPs, I knew I had to scrap my cupcake photos!

Q - How to fit lots of photos + lots of gorgeous patterns into one simple, clean LO??
A - Grids!!

I cropped my photos to square ratios, then chose the print multiples, contact sheet option in the print dialogue box, & out came 5 perfect 2" x 2" square photos!

Here's my video - enjoy! ;]

btw, I did some digi work on the photos prior to printing - a little square border + text. I was inspired by
this great video [watch it, you'll love it!].

Basic Grey Lemonade Favour Boxes by Wendy

e Basic Grey has come up with a wonderful concept - punch out & fold up a tiny gift box, place a tiny gift inside [chocolate is good..., jewellery is also good!], and you're done!

e I've put together this little video so you'll have no trouble assembling these BG Lemonade favour boxes - pause & rewind q and we can work on them together!

e They're such good value - so beautifully decorated, inside and out, with lots of bonus die cuts - flowers, tags + journalling spots. Head over here to BlueMoonScrapbooking.com to buy your own! ;]

Thanks for stopping by!
