Awesome, gorgeous kits again this month! I love the Eskimo Kisses papers and the Bonus kit has papers from the Lemonade line, probably my favorite of the year!
December kit examples:
love that the Eskimo Kisses line can be used for so many other things other than holiday pages...it was perfect for a layout about my oldest learning how to wave!
the Bonus kit:
So, I know I seem to say this every single month, but THIS Basic Grey kit is definitely my favorite so far (LOL!) The Nook and Pantry papers are so pretty and sweet, and the rub ons included in the kit from the Offbeat line work so perfectly with the Nook and Pantry papers. I am a sucker for anything with birds on it!
I took my basic idea from Nic Howard's original example, but I made my layout a one page layout instead. For once I kind of even stuck to the theme! ;)
Here is the original example:
here is my example-
and a layout for my other baby girl using the kit:
The best thing about these kits is that I can probably use the materials supplied to make many more pages or cards. I am sure that I will be using these papers a lot!
Until next month-
Shelby
Love this new kit from Basic Grey which includes papers from the Eerie collection. I have the hardest time doing "holiday" layouts, especially Halloween layouts and this kit made getting them done so much fun!
The first layout uses a template by Cathy Zielske which you can find here. I love the idea of having a Halloween album for years to come and this will make it so easy...and the Basic Grey kit made it even easier to get this layout done :)
this next layout will go in my oldest daughter's first year album. See...same kit, same idea, you get a lot done!
I have said it before and I will say it again, Basic Grey ROCKS! I love the kit for this month. The papers and accents are awesome and worked so perfectly with the pictures I wanted to scrap! The papers are from the new Indian Summer line and they work so well for Fall pictures, and I think so many other things too. As you can see, I used them for both a Thanksgiving layout and a layout about my two girls getting to know one another
here are my samples:
patterned paper, chipboard, journaling card, brads and transparency: all from the September Basic Grey kit
patterned papers and chipboard letters: Basic Grey September kit, butterfly punch-Martha Stewart
As I have mentioned before, I dont keep to the theme of he kits and tend to do my own thing, so if you are following along with the kits, here is the sample provided for this month. The layout was created by the incredible Nic Howard
Hi there everyone! I am excited to be doing my first post as a returning member of the AMLT team! I am equally excited that my first post here is all about layouts using product from the Basic Grey August kit. I love Basic Grey, and I LOVE the August kit since it features one of my new favorite lines...Lemonade. If you havent purchased any of this line yet, I recommend RUNNING (or in this case clicking!) to the Basic Grey section at AMLT. You can find it here
I have been getting these kits from Jill since the beginning of the year (is that right? I am losing brain power each day as the baby gets older!!) and while I dont exactly follow the kit theme each month, I get a lot out of the kits each month.
Here is the design created by Kelly Goree for the kit this month. I LOVE Kelly's work and I wish that I was half the scrapbooker that she is!
Here are my designs using the kit:
supplies used:
cardstock:Bazzill Bascs (white background, black scallop, pink)
patterned paper: all Basic Grey from the August kit of the month (Lemonade line) papers used: Poppy Field and Strawberry Patch
die cut letters: Quickutz
supplies used:
cardstock: Bazzill (pink and white scallop)
patterned paper: all Basic Grey from the August kit of the month. Papers used: Pink Fizz, Poppy Field and Strawberry Patch
letter stickers: also from the August Basic Grey kit, these are from the Eva line
another fun one to share...the first for baby Rylee's scrapbook!
supplies used:
cardstock: Bazzill (white scalloped background)
patterned paper: all from the August BG kit, papers used: Strawberry Patch, Pink Fizz, Poppy Field and Sunshine
letter stickers are also from the August BG kit, a is the bling. The letter stickers are from the Eva collection
a little disclaimer: the layout really isnt this crooked in real life, Iwear! and so sorry for the picture instead of the scan, but my scanner really hates white backgrounds, especially white scalloped backgrounds!
thanks for looking!

Hello Everyone!
Oh boy, I was suppose to post this yesterday. Before I start with the photos and samples I want to welcome back to our Design Team Shelby Valadez! Shelby was on our team for many years and left us for about a year for personal reasons. I missed her so much so I was thrilled when she was ready to take on scrapping again! Luckily Shelby is off having a baby and maybe she won't know I was tardy on my post! Though I think I just told on myself! Congrats to Shelby and Johnny they just welcomed their second daughter today, Rylee Grace. I couldn't be more thrilled for them! You can see Shelby's pretty little face to the right of your screen under the DT bios :)
Shelby has been a subscriber to the Page of the Month kits, so thought it would be fun to see what she would do with the kits since she's used to getting them.
Firstly if you are following the sketch provided by Basic Grey, to do your projects this month's theme is Circle of Friends. Here is Becky Fleck's inspirational layout:
If you are doing your own thing with these kits, these alternate samples created by Shelby are sure to inspire:
All papers used on the projects are from the June bug line, and are available here in the store to those that aren't subscribed. I hope you enjoyed some inspiration whether you are a kit subscriber or not :)
ETA -- Kit is spoken for now. Thanks!
Hello again. This post is dedicated to showcasing the Page of the Month Kit from Basic Grey for June. The ladies getting this kit have had it for a while now, but I hope the rest of you will be inspired and those that have extra bits left will find inspiration in Monica's additional projects!
First the theme this month was " Life Changing Event". Becky Fleck from Basic Grey created this beautiful page. I love and somewhat relate lately to this beautiful page, not because my nest is empty yet, thank goodness, but because things are so different when the cribs and baby stuff go away. It's a sad moment to realize those things are most likely now gone for good, but exciting to usher in a new era!
I sent this kit to our very talented Monica, and she created some other options for you! Here life Changing Event involves moving to a new city:
2 more beautiful layouts:
And 2 cards:
Thanks Monica!
I've had a subscription for this kit become available for July- December for anyone that may be interested. The kits will always include new papers from BG, and coordinating embellishments. A layout idea with complete instructions, sketch is also included. There is PLENTY of product in these kits for more than one layout, even if you follow the sketch to the T. The cost for the kit is $11.00 monthly plus shipping and kits are shipped 2 months at a time. This price is MY COST to buy the kits, so you are getting quite a steal! I have seen a preview for the July/August kit and it will include the 2 newest collection of paper (select papers, not the entire collection) that will be coming out in a couple of weeks Lemonade and June Bug. If you are interested please email me at info@amillionlittlethings.com, I have only 1 kit subscription available so if more than 1 email comes in I will take the first one received.
Thanks!
Jill
Hello Blog Readers
Today I have our monthly feature on the Basic Grey Page of the Month Kit for those subscribed to it, and some extra eye candy for the rest of you. This month I have asked our Guest Designer to take the kit and work her magic with it! I'd like you to briefly meet Brenda Hurd, she's my neighbor-- kind of :). Well, if you consider your neighbors to be about 20 minutes away! I don't work with many people from my state (except for many manufacturers of course!), it was nice to be able to get supplies to her in a day! I will feature Brenda next week in full with some additional projects she has created and a little "get to know you" but for now you get a peek at her work!
This Month's Kit features the fabulous, spunky Lime Rickey collection. The theme was "This I Believe."
Here is the kit layout created by none other than the fabulous Kelly Goree:
Brenda has also created this layout with the same theme:
and this additonal layout:
And these cute cards:
Don't you just love the magic Brenda works with stitching? :)
Those who have not yet had their kits shipped, I will contact you in the next few days as we normally do. Make sure to come back later to see more inspiration from Brenda!
Have a great Thursdsay! Where did this week go? Time flies when you're having fun I guess, LOL.
Hello Everyone
I'm here today with a little inspiration from Basic Grey's Page of the Month. This month's kit featured the Porcelain Collection and the theme was "the things I do."
Nic Howard from Basic Grey has created the two page inspiration layout for this kit:
I also sent this kit to our very own talented Elizabeth, she altered the size to create an 8 1/2 x 11 layout with the same theme:
She also used the kit to create 2 additional layouts and 2 cards:
Thank you Elizabeth!!
The kits are all committed for, but if you would like to find other Porcelain items in the store please go here
Hello Everyone
Here today with a little inspiration from Basic Grey. This month's page of the month theme was "A Day in My Life" for all the girls that are participating in this cool program! The page was created by the talented Kelly Goree:
I would like to thank Amanda, who also created these additonal samples with this kit so quickly for me, and very last minute:
Amanda added only a few basics to her projects (cardstock, floss, journaling stamp, etc.)
All of the kits are now committed for, so there will not be extras going in the store unfortunately, but there are plenty of Marrakech supplies left in the store :).
Have a great Tuesday!
Jill
