I have come to the conclusion that I am Designer Paper Challenged (DPC)!!! I have seen so many wonderful creations over at SplitcoastStampers using beautiful DP and I just cannot make it work for me. I just recently got the Designer Series Double-Sided Paper from Stampin’ Up! so thought I’d give it a try… It was quite a struggle for me.  Getting the layout right, deciding what stamp set to use with it and finally to add matching colors!  Some relaxation time - I had a headache when I was done!!!  Let me know what you think. What am I missing??
