As most of you will know, I'm coming to the end of my paper ban (yippee!) on Sunday. I've not bought any papers since May and I've been trying really hard to ignore all the lovely papers everyone's been using, so that I wasn't tempted to run off and buy them lol.
So as I've not got much idea of what 'must have' papers are out there at the moment, I wondered if any of you could suggest your current favourites so I can have a look? It's a bit scary being let loose again though, I must try not to buy too many!
Hi Lisa, wow that flew past didn't it. No papers to suggest as only really buy digi papers, hope you find lots of lovely ones though.
ReplyDeleteI thought you might feel the need to buy some. I lovebthe First Edition dreamcatcher I just bought, all lovely purples. Have fun buying.
ReplyDeleteOh my darling, I don't know how you've done it, but I do admire your determination! I come out in a rash and get twitchy if I can't stroke a bit of new paper on a regular basis!! There are good sales on at the Glitter Pot (the cheapest for 6x6 paper packs as far as I'm aware) and the Craftz Boutique has an excellent selection. Recommendations? It depends on your stle. For a more vintage look, my personal favourites include most of the My Minds Eye papers but particularly the Lost and Found 2 ones; I also love Prima and some of the Magnolia papers released this year. The MME and Prima ones are fabulous quality, quite heavy weight and are normally double sided too. I've been a bit disappointed with this year's Basic Grey ranges but have a look at the Glitter Pot, as they have packs a good £1 cheaper than most of the other online stores. Maja Designs is another gorgeous one (try Dies to Die for or Crafts u Love) and I adore K&Co - they did a fabulous floral pack called Watercolour Bouquet (again, Tracy at Dies to Die for might have this). If you want a more modern style, I'd probably say Fancy Pants or Jillibean Soup. And don't forget Bo Bunny. I'm drooling now - did I tell you I was a paper addict?!!! Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, sorry for the absence - not been on the computer much over Christmas. You must be very pleased to have the paper ban over and done with (I'm thinking about starting a year long one, still got too much paper!).
