1st Paper Issues Blog Hop


Welcome to Paper Issues 1st ever BLOG HOP!!!!
The challenge will run from March 19th to April 2nd

We are having a 3 part blog hop.  The design team is broken into three groups so you can follow along with all of us or just part.  There will be one random winner of a fabulous Paper Issues kit as well as other prizes. To win the main kit from PI you will need to head over to Paper Issues Blog.  Many of the design team member are offering up their own RAK's so make sure you check them all out! There are really some YUMMY GOODIES on these blogs, don't miss out!!! You should have arrived here from Sara.  If you didn't and want to hop along, you can start here with Michelle

Our theme for the HOP is "Favorite Things".  My favorite thing in the scrapbooking world right now is the Manufacturer CRATE PAPER and my absolute favorite thing to create (when I have the time) are MINI BOOKS.  So, I combined my two FAVORITES for you into one creation.

This is a mini I made using Maya Road kraft envelopes.  I cut each one to make a little pocket to have slide out cards for journaling or photos. 


You can see the pull out here.

This pull out comes from the side by pulling on the stories tab.

The SALE tag is another pull out.


Final pull out in the back.

All materials used here are from Crate Paper except the lettering (October Afternoon), the Ribbon and the envelopes from Maya Road

Ok, here's the goods up for grabs!  Want to win some Sassafrass Lass Goodies?  These are one of my favorite paper lines so I thought I would gather some up to offer to one of YOU.  Now, I do have a requirement to be entered to win these goodies from me, I want you in your comment to tell me YOUR favorite paper line. Goodness, you may even decide to become a follower (that's ok too).  I hope you come back from time to time to visit. 

Good Luck!

Now you will be off to :
JUDEAN to see her FAVORITE THINGS!

  32. Hey Girlfriend. I must not be paying enough attention lately. I didn't know you were doing minis, (or maybe I did and just forgot). As usual, your stuff rocks. I love the vintage "stuff" especially the playing cards. You are so smart.

  33. Hi Jackie

    Love your mini and the CP papers you used. I love Crate Paper too.

    My absolute favourite is Sassafras Lass, I just think they stand out amongst the rest. I don't think there is any I don't like, but Sassafrass, MME & Crate Paper are probably my top 3 faves.

    Oooh I am falling in love with Echo Park too!!

    Thanks for the blog hop, I am totally enjoying it.
