Create with Connie and Mary--Favorite Designer Series Paper!

My favorite Suite in the catalogue also includes my favorite Designer Series paper and that is what our hop is all about this week! We have quite a few fantastic papers in the January to June Catalogue but this one is my favorite because of the soft colors and the feelings the papers involk in me.

I wanted to make a scrapbook page to show how I can accentuate my pages with the Sand & Sea Designer Series paper and how you can even stamp on the paper because it has a nice soft feel to it. I loved this paper immediately because I felt it was quite different than papers we have had. I love the beach imagery and how some of the designs look like water flowing and beachy sand.

I chose this pattern to stamp my sentiment. I just love all the texture in this particular pattern the amazing hues of blue that get. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and Silver Embossing powder. The sentiment is from the Friends are Like Seashells stamp set which is a part of the Sand & Sea Suite.

I love adding in Designer Paper to a layout can help add interest and dimension to things. It is also a great way to add in different colors and patterns into your design.

I can’t wait to see what Melissa (BACK) and Connie (NEXT) have selected as their favorite DSP in this new catty!
