Basically Bare and Nikki Sivils Day Two!

We are starting the Day Two blog swap with Basically Bare and the Divas have knocked it out of the blogosphere again.  In case you missed Day One go back and check it out!  Basically Bare not only has unique and fun mini books to alter, but they have bare chipboard, canvas, arcrylic, and cardboard embellishments to make your own to match your layouts with the paper collection you are working with!

We will also be having a giveaway, but you will have to comment here on the blog and also over at Basically Bare's blog.  Their designers have created some FUN FUN FUN stuff and I can't wait for you to see it!  But, let's look at what the Divas created first! 

Julie Tucker-Wolek created a cute little address book out of a Basically Bare mini album!  She is planning on adding some things to it, once she starts putting names and addresses in.  She used the Messages collection and I would say it's a great combo!

(Be sure to check out Julie's blog, because she will have the full address book on there!)

Jennie McGarvey worked her magic on a layout using the Basically Bare Gears in Acrylic form. These are perfect if you want embellishments, but still want to keep the focus on your pictures.  She used the Noah collection for her layout also.

I knew as soon as I saw those gear acrylic shapes that I wanted to use them.  This page turned out to be the perfect page because they add enough to make the page more interesting, but they are definitely not over powering at all.  The focus is on the photos, which is where I like it to be!

Stacy Rodriguez used the Messages collection for this layout below...there is a story behind every layout and this one is no exception!

So I was soooooo excited last year since it was my first trip to CHA....not only was it my first time look at the two super cool divas I got to meet!!!  How much fun is that, and now scrapping it about with Nikki's line was simply perfect!  For this layout I used Messages, I thought the colors were an excellent fit for this layout.  The fabulous design on this one is from Sketch Support. I created the fun little banner under the photos using a scallop circle punch and then cut them in half.  I however wanted a little something different in the banner so I used Blossoms from Basically Bare.  So many fun possibilities with this line!!

Melissa Pablo and Jennie were thinking along the same lines!  Using the Gears and the Noah collection, Melissa created a fun and funky layout about her boy, Justin!

Marielle LeBlanc just got back from Disney, so Exit Here was a perfect collection for her to create a mini album about their trip.  Here is the cover page and I am in love with it.  Marielle will have the entire album on her blog today, so make sure and give her a visit!
