Basic Grey Carte Postale is at Memorable Seasons!

It's no secret that I am a HUGE Basic Grey fan and I am shocked that it took me eight months of Memorable Seasons Design Team kits before I ended up designing with one of their collections. But, this one was well worth the wait. Yes, it is a travel collection but it is truly versatile and can be used for so much more. The B sides of the papers are not themed at all and can be used for anything. I actually bought some duplicate papers because I love the B side patterns and colors so much!

You can pick up this awesome collection here in the Memorable Seasons Store!

Here are the front sides of the papers...

And the back sides...

And then the cardstock and embellishments...

And of course I had to pick up some extras...

So here is my first layout I created with this collection. Before my kit arrived, and I was sitting there looking through the store choosing my extras, the map on this sheet of "Michigan Ave" paper caught my eye. I thought, "geez, that looks really familiar." Yep. You guessed it...it's an old-school map of Portland!! So I decided to use this paper to document the three locations that we've lived in Portland. Two of the three locations are as accurately placed. Our current house on Kerby Ave is a little further north by about 20 blocks, off the map, so I just fudged it a bit. I need to suggest to Basic Grey they rename the paper from "Michigan Ave" to something more appropriate like "Burnside St." ;)

Hey, one more thing...the Members Challenge Us Crop is going on right now. We'd love it if you'd come join us for a full month of fun challenges issued by the Memorable Seasons members themselves!
