Fall in Love with Two Scoops

Natalie sure does know how to work the BasicGrey "Two Scoops" line. Today, she shows us how to make 5 lovely cards. The Love, Sweetheart, XOXO and Love Flower cards all used the BG Collection Pack summary sheet as the background paper. How resourceful!

Natalie will be joining the ranks of talented tutors at this year's Scrap-A-Ganza. We hope you will join in on at least one of her wonderful workshops.
