A Toot and another Marks Paper Company Project

Its been awhile since I've submitted to Basic Grey so I was really happy to have gotten the email when I was driving home this past Friday night, that this card I made last week for Embellish-Online and Creative Chaos was accepted into the Basic Grey Gallery. Whoohoo!! I miss tooting! I only have 1 item to my name in the Basic Grey Gallery, so that means I better hop to it and create some more to submit!


I finally got to photograph my card that I created for Marks Paper Company this morning since the lighting, etc is so much better in my office.

I made this card by hand cutting all these little flourish thingies from the August paper collection. {I'm still sick, so I can't articulate right now!} I'm apparently in love with circle medallions because I immediately knew what I was going to do with this paper when I received it in the mail.


I think this August line looks fabulous with white. It makes it look so crisp and the colors even more vibrant. I had to pull out my old MM white rubons in Heidi's handwriting because I wanted a white sentiment but didn't have any white phrase rubons. In case you were wondering, this is what the patterned paper looks like from which I hand cut those thingies:

Pretty cool eh?? Definitely check out the DT Gallery at Marks Paper Company for more inspiration by all the talented ladies. They seriously blow me away!
