Product Preview Report: Basic Grey "Basically Breakfast" - Evening Edition!

Hello All!

Product Preview: Basic Grey "Basically Breakfast" The Evening Edition was a great success! We had a wonderful group of Basic Grey fans who enjoyed checking out the new release products, getting to try it in their two Preview projects (plus a Take Home project!) and a yummy 'breakfast' of Waffles.

As always the evening is best summed up in pictures sooooo here's how the evening went down... trickski staff mischief and all!

The evening started with our usual routine - lucky participants arrived and were greeted with drinks as they checked in and picked up their name badges and layout pack before heading upstairs to the classroom to begin the evening activities.

In keeping with our Breakfast theme we had waffles with maple syrup, bananas and cream awaiting which our participants were invited to partake.

After everyone had their fill we started our presentation of the five new Basic Grey ranges:

Before long it was time to get into the heart of our Preview - the projects! First up, a layout using the Boxer range of papers.

With a photo of the completed layout and detailed instructions plus teacher direction our participants were away.

Now you would think I would know by now that if I request the lovely Paula to take photos of the evening I'm just ASKING for trouble... and not only that, she recruited a accomplice in the shape of my right hand gal Wendy!

So while everyone was all settled into their project creation these two little monkies disappeared with my camera in hand... well... see for yourself... :)

You should know the giggling from the stairwell gave them away. I DID let them finish their waffles before dragging young Wendy back for some (YAY!) prize draws!

Congrats Lynette on winning a selection of Sultry papers

Lesley was thrilled with her clear stamps

"Wendies!" Sigh. I tell her every time it's not going to have her name on it...

Congrats Irene!

Those Archaic Brads and Rub-ons are so cool. Enjoy & congrats Julie!

We completed up our layouts and there were so many great results.

Steph's black and white photos look fab.

Perfect beach photo.

Our mini project for the evening was a real treat - literally! These favour boxes were another hit. Love the little icecream cone tag - all from the Cupcake range.

We finished our evening downstairs browsing the new ranges and making a start on our Take Home Project.

Another fun night had by all. Special thanks to all who attended Product Preview: Basic Grey "Basically Breakfast" last week at our actual breakfast and this, our popular demand Evening Edition.

Thank you also to Linda (Mum!) who whizzied up the waffles and my great shop gurls (Shopgurls.RULE as we say around here) who work hard on the kits and preparations for these events... and generally keep me on my toes!
