Not particularly Basic and certainly not Grey

June 16th, 2006

Not being much of a scrapbooker, in fact not being into scrapbooking at all, I tend to steer clear of scrapbook papers but as soon as saw Basic Grey’s Mortifica and Sublime & Confused ranges I was hooked, since then I have restricted myself to only purchasing the Fusion range. I love ‘em and they seem to have had the same effect on most people I know. Until recently I just kept them in a box and took them out occasionally to stroke, drool over (metaphorically speaking of course, as too much moisture isn’t too kind to paper products) and I can sometimes be heard mumbling something along the lines of “my precioussss”, fortunately I am not alone in my infatuation. Crikey if someone who has not been ‘initiated’ into the ‘inner sanctum’ were to read this they might be forgiven for thinking I was a tad odd!

Anyhoooo, I digress. As several people on my Yahoo group seemed able to relate to my absurd tendancies with regard to my stash of BG I decided it was about time we had a BG ATC swap. As difficult as it was to cut into my papers, my four efforts are what follows.

I really enjoyed this swap, and as stupid as this may sound, I am so used to making my own backgrounds and sploshing paint everywhere, that it came as somewhat of a revelation to realise how easy it is to make an ATC (or anything for that matter!) when someone else has done the work for you! How bizarre is that? I’m not really a cretin, honest>
