Could Basic Grey's New Ambrosia Be "The Fruit of the Scrapbooker"?
As you probably are already aware, Basic Grey has just released another round (5 to be exact) of wonderful new collections (you can thank Summer CHA for this....), and among these is the new Ambrosia collection. You are also probably aware that in mythology "ambrosia" was often refererred to as the food (or sometimes the drink) of the gods. It's my opinion that when you "feast" your eyes upon this collection you'll find it as tantalizing as I do.
That being said, I did some nosing around on the internet to see what the general buzz about this new collection was, and found that there is a little bit of concern out there. Of course it was generally agreed upon that the collection was "juicy" and "zesty", but there seems to be some question as to just how one would use these beautiful, but predominantly orange, papers. "It's so pretty, but I don't know what I would use it for..." and "Can someone post a LO so I can see how to use it?" HMMMM.....
At the risk of sounding a bit judgemental, (and please keep in mind you've seen my lapses in judgement.....like say the the infamous stickles incident) I think some of the message boards I was "lurking" on consisted of (how shall I say this) maybe not the most creative people. (I'm still not understanding how these people on these boards can spend so much time "conversating" and still have time to scrap??) Can't think of what to use it for?? Are you kidding me?? I see summer and fall pages galore, boy and teen possibilities, and (dare I say it?) what about a less cutesy Halloween LO or two? I've even got some pics of pre-school age Pilgrams that will work with this too! (And I know you local OHS parents and alumni have a use for orange and black papers....) The thing about any of Basic Grey's papers is that you just cannot go wrong when you use them. They make our "job" easy, and turn each of us into fantastically creative artists!
But maybe my (humble) opinion isn't enough.....what do you think? Here's Ambrosia for your viewing pleasure. I welcome some feedback on what your take on this is, and how you would use it. (And if you really like it, feel free to place your pre-order and save 20%!!) Let's see whether you'll decide that Ambrosia is as "heavenly" an addition to your collection as I think it is!
