graphic45 paper pads. why oh why? well, because they were beautiful. duh. but now i find they are super hard to use not because i don't want to but because some of the designs are really hard to work with. i hate to admit it but i'm not big on victorian design. so many flowers. so many frilly women. so many paper pads....

I bought way too much of Shimelle’s Main Character Energy. Me, too. I loved the name of the collection more than the actual collection. |

So many times, in past videos, Shimelle will pull out some of her old collections and I love how she uses them. I have often wished I had some of her old pieces. When MCE came out I liked some of it, but definitely not most. But I assumed I’d have major fomo when/if she was using it and it was no longer available. So I bought so much. Including both the big and small paper pads (I NEVER buy paper pads!!!). Meanwhile, she’s not used the collection nearly as much as I imagined she would. I even got two packs of the Thickers. I hardly everrrrrr use Thickers and I don’t like glitter and I hate purple. 🤷🏻♀️😅😵💫 Live and learn. |

Another vote for Graphic 45. Every few years I buy some of their papers that really catch my eye and then I add them to my paper collection so they can cozy up to all the previous Graphic 45 papers I've been unable to use. I did use one of their Christmas lines many years ago by cutting out different graphics (I think one page was a pattern of postage stamps?) but that's it.

Pretty much anything EP, although I don’t have much of it.
Also 49 & Market. It’s definitely not a whhhhyyyyy type situation, because I love everything I have made with it, but it is a bit more distressed than I usually use, and it can be a little difficult, until I figure it out,

I had bought a couple of her early paper pads when I spotted them at TM because of twopeas influence and found them difficult to use (although I did use most of them eventually - I have some papers still in my stash) so hadn't bought any of her later collections. BUT Main Character Energy did suck me in - I only got the 6x8 pad, the stamp set, and the diecuts. And I have used 2 pieces of paper, one of the stamps and a diecut or two already so...I do like it but like VB, it'll be a collection that'll push my comfort level a bit when using. |

Mine is a few Mintay paper packs. What was I thinking? They are beautiful, but Im not a fussy cutter of their accents, nor do I use paper like theirs very well on layouts. I like Mintay for making cards. Easy to make a simple flat card with a little embellishing or just a sentiment. The paper does all the work. |
