Basic Grey!

Greetings and Happy Wednesday! Today we have a little Basic Grey inspiration for you from Designer Teri Berrios and from my Mother-In-Law! Isn't it funny how the whole family is creative?

My mother-in-law works wonders with the sewing machine! She used some of the Basic Grey Origins Fabric and made a gorgeous tote for me! Take a look:

Origins Tote by Margie Anderson

Margie used the Basic Grey Origins Fat Quarter Bundle and a pattern to make this tote. Isn't this just too much fun! She put lots of pockets on the inside for me. I love the pop of yellow against the dark green. Just wait until you see what else Margie made with Basic Grey Fabric!

Now let's take a look at what Designer Teri Berrios made with the Basic Grey Pyrus collection:

Teri altered this frame with Basic Grey Pyrus paper, Pyrus Element Stickers, Prima Flowers and Bling, Tim Holtz Pin, Tim Holtz Adage ticket, Tim Holtz Film Strip, Tim Holtz Tiny attacher, Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo, Tim Holtz masking tape in the musical notes, pearl trim, alcohol ink, Prima lace, Swarovski crystals, Girls Paperie Dress Form stamp, Lace, iamroses flowers, glimmer mist, misc sewing, acrylic paint, Dymo label maker, skeleton leaves.
