CCM Saturday Blog Hop – Favorite JA Mini Designer Paper

Welcome back to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  We have a NEW January-April Mini Catalog AND it’s Sale-A-Bration time!  Last week we showed off our favorite SAB Stamp Set, this week our designers are showing off their favorite SAB Designer Paper!  It was a TOUGH choice for me…I like so many of them!  I finally settled on Rain or Shine DSP!

RAIN OR SHINE DESIGNER PAPER

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is4-1/4 x 11 Old Olive cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Mango Melody cardstock was added on top.
• 4 of the smallest Something Fancy Die labels were cut from the Rain or Shine DSP in two patterns and added to the front, centered.
• The little dog was punched from the Rain or Shine DSP with the Decorative Circle Punch and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The You’re the Best Ever! greeting from Very Best Occasions was stamped with Memento Black Ink on 3/4 x 2-1/2 strip of Old Olive cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Three of the Loose Daisy Embellishments were added next to the greeting.

 

 

Is that the CUTEST little dog?  I do wish he was a stamp in the Playing in the Rain stamp set, too! OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
