Doillies

Doilies are the hot items this season with more to come I'm sure. Peeking around Etsy I stumbled upon this very cool scarf, don't you agree? Too warm in the desert for scarfs, but I thought you guys might like it by buonasarah. Any knitters out there? This looks like a fun project.


For this weeks GIVEAWAY leave a comment:

I'll pick a random winner Friday morning.

  9. I have used them once - as part of a background on a picture I made for a co-worker. I had to trim it down, but I put some of her mother's old earrings and the doilies were used as a frame around her mother's picture. Really cute

  18. The scarf is adorable but that doily plus package is gorgeous!

    I would cut some, use some as masks, and layer some with contrasting colors or monochromatic colors,....so many things to do with them. I have an heirloom hutch that would look great with the shelves lined with them too!!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I have never used the doilies but it is my taste! I'd most likely not cut them! Suzie

  20. love the doilies i usualy cut em for lO's and mini albums

    ReplyDelete
  21. I do a bit of both, depending on the project, they are versatile like that!

    ReplyDelete
  22. No doilies here either..for crafting:) I have used 'real' paper doilies on the table, for pies and finger treats - things like that.. and I have some very special ones my Grandmother crocheted... they come out at Christmas...

    My gosh that RAK is yummy!!!

    What a great prize!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I have used the doilies and I adore them...I have never used them whole...so much goodness....I cut them...so that I have lots more to play with!!!! I have also used them as a mask!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I have purchased a doily, just have to use it now. I loved the glimmer mist idea from Carole S.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I have one but I haven't used it yet. I like to use doily type things as masks for misting though. Then use the doily as an accent. Double usage!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I have not used the dollies yet but i would love to! Cut them or use them as a mask.....hmmm. I like my options !

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  43. Love the doilies--I typically cut them in half. :D

    ReplyDelete
  44. I've never used BG doilies, but I *think* I would use the whole thing and not cut it. . . or maybe cut out the center and use it as a frame for a picture.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I have used dollies and i cut em up
    I used them on a layout

    ReplyDelete
  46. I love to cut them up and tuck them under layers peeking out as an accent!!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I have not used the doilies yet but I did buy some the other day so I will soon be trying to figure out how to use them!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Oooh, those doilies are beautiful! I haven't tried them yet - I'll need to get on that!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I LOVE Basic Grey products but have NEVER seen the dollies!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  51. I haven't used the doilies, but I've used other die cut paper both ways...whole and just pieces

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  53. I haven't used them yet but I'd like to. I think they could really enhance a layout.

    ReplyDelete

  55. I love the BG doilies! I cut them up and use them as backgrounds on cards. I can't wait to use them on Valentine's Day cards.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I have used a small paper one from the Dollar Store that I cut but I have never used a 12 by 12. sounds like fun.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I have never seen these before, but sure would love to try them out. I can see a lot of potential for using them for scrapbook pages and for cardsmaking.
    Thanks for the opportunity!

    ReplyDelete
  58. I've never used doilies on my cards. I may have to try that. :) I've just found your lovely blog/store via my friend Abby. Wow! I'm loving what I'm seeing. Michelle

    ReplyDelete
  59. Hi there! I haven't used BG doilies but sure would love the chance! Doilies are great for masking and misting and using as a background accent........so many uses!

    ReplyDelete
  60. I haven't used the doilies as of yet but would love to get my hands on them.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I have not used tehm yet BUT I cannot wait to cut them up!! I have used paper doilies as a mask before and I like to use crotcheted doilies on my pages. Any texture makes me happy.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I haven't used them yet, but I have had my eye on them! I think I would probably cut them or use them as a mask. I could see it being really cute on cards just using little sections. Or creating a border with them on a scrapbook page, with the cut line being covered by ribbon or some other embellishing.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I haven't tried the doilies, but it would be fun to do so! :)

    ReplyDelete

    How fun and so sweet~

    ReplyDelete
  66. I have used doilies, but not the Basic Grey ones - would love to have some. Regular doilies make great masks or glimmer mist and fold into flowers. Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  67. I new to your blog and Im loving everything I see so far. As far as the Doillies goes. I havent tried them. However Im always up for something new to try.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I haven't used them yet but I might have to now that I have seen them! I would probably be tempted to cut them up for layouts but I guess it would depend on the design of the doily and the layout itself. Beautiful stuff!

    ReplyDelete
  69. I didn't know about Basic Grey doilies! I must have some!

    ReplyDelete
  70. I haven't tried them yet but would likely cut them.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I've never used them although I have been tempted. If I ever work up the courage, I think I would probably cut them so I could get the most use out of a single piece.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Well... I have never used the basic grey doilies but I think I would cut them in order to use them in lotz of places!!
    They look really pretty.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I never seen these doillies but I know what to do with them lol fold, cut, or whole they would be beautiful in any scrap book

    ReplyDelete
  74. That scarf is beautiful!
    I have used doilies in a few projects, but not the BG ones yet! I sure would like to get my hands on some though! Bet they are much more durable than the ones I'm using here!

    ReplyDelete
  75. I have never used them, but if I did, I would probably cut them...because I'm just that type of scrapper! lol

    ReplyDelete
  76. I haven't used them before, but I want to get some to play with. I think they would be great to cut up and use them to make flowers. Who knows until you try!!!

    ReplyDelete
  77. I have never used the doilies but I am sure they would be fun and versatile. I of course would love to try them but have yet to see them in LS. I will have to give them a try. I love that they are in a variety of colors, they should be really fun!

    ReplyDelete
  80. I have never used the doillies. I probably would cut them in half since I usually do 2-page LO's.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I've never tried doillies, but I'd sure like to! :) The scarf is gorgeous!!!

    ReplyDelete
  82. I haven't had a chance to try the doilies yet but really want to.
    What a fun additional texture to add to a page!!

    ReplyDelete
  83. I love using doilies (think those little ones you use for cakes and such). I love to use them as masks for paint, ink and glimmer mist. I'd used the bigger ones in pieces as I'd want to showcase the doily, not cover it up with photos and embellies.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I have not yet used Basic Grey doillies but they look lovely! I'd love to win!

    ReplyDelete
  85. I cut'em. They are too expensive to use all at once!

    ReplyDelete
  86. I have not used them yet, but can imagine the possibilities. I would cut them AND use them whole.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I have never tried the doilies for scrapbooking but I love the look.
    That scarf sure looks nice and warm.
    I think i would use the doilies whole and not cut them because they are so pretty.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I haven't been lucky enough to try them yet, but have wanted to. I think the first time I used, I'd keep intact. After that, I'd probably cut up :)

    ReplyDelete
  89. I've never used the BG doilies either but would love to try them. Would I cut them or not... I'd have to have one and be creating a LO and see that way.
