Basic Grey Oliver Page Kit

Genevieve Speegle
I’ve been having lots of fun with the Basic Grey Oliver line lately.  I bought the card kit, collection pack and page kit for the line! 
This is the first Basic Grey page kit I’ve used and I’m really happy with it!  It was super easy to use and included lots of goodies ~ from rub-ons to chipboard!  The only items I added were thread (I did some sewing throughout), ink and buttons.
It was a fun afternoon project to do with my sister, too!  We each bought a kit and had a quick craft day together. 
I’m so glad that Basic Grey started selling page kits this year.  I’ve been a fan of their card kits for a long time, too.  I’m excited to see what they come up with next!

Mario Madness

Genevieve Speegle
My little monkey turned FOUR (cannot believe it) this month and we had a Mario Bros. themed party. 
A good friend of mine even loaned Jackson a Mario costume ~ priceless!
I’ll be honest ~ I was looking forward to scrappin’ these pages for WEEKS!  I love getting to work with cute embellishments!
I bought some Mario Bros. die-cuts from an Etsy seller in June (still need to figure out how to use my Sure Cuts-A-Lot software…) and then added some epoxy stickers that Jackson was kind enough to donate.  I found this darling stitched card stock from We R Memory Keepers and layered on some DCWV video game paper.  LOVE these pages!
I made a special tri-fold card for Jack and wanted to incorporate it on the layout as well.
