I didn't get to play around much with it yet....but I can tell you I love the papers..its the touch and feel stage for me...few of them have such a fabulous texture, I feel like keeping them forever..lol.

Today I used a little bit from the whole stack...

I got rich red border using one of my fave EK Success border punch and Wild Cherry cardstock.

The Gorgeous butterfly is from new Verve stamps~ BLUE SKIES set..love it!!

Layered it three times for some Xtra dimension..
