Got a double dawg dare goin' on at SNC...

 Jump on in anytime.

So I was thinking when one of my pals asked about paper.

And as I pondered my stacks of paper that

has been hanging around in some cases way too long.

It also took me back to when I first started scrapbooking

and knew absolutely nothing about anything I

inadvertently became the cardstock queen.

Pattern paper was not even a blip on my radar until I

started watching Sandy Genovese on the DIY channel and

my world opened up.

Back then scrapbooking embellishments were beginning to evolve

so unless you had a die cut machine or purchaased stickers (which I didn't) I

produced some really really plain pages.

So today I decided that my DOUBLE DAWG DARE would be to use

nothing but cardstock with a couple of non c/s embellishments.

I broke out paints to use with die cuts and foam stamps.

I whipped out my stamps in order to bring some embellishments to life.

I used watercolors and die cuts.

I'm really happy with the page.
However....
I will always love pattern paper. In fact I have my new

Studio Calico kit and I don't want to cut the papers.
