There are so many brands of paper lines I've never bought or used. I see them mentioned frequently here on the board. My go to brands have been primarily bo bunny. I just recently have bought graphic 45. I have quick quotes and heartfelt creations paper. I had a kit or two that had BG in it. I have maybe 2-3 sheets of it left. I gave the rest away. What is your go to / favorite lines you gravitate to?

My all-time favorite is October Afternoon, and I also like Authentique and some of the Pebbles lines.

Mine is also Bo Bunny. I am so bad, I hoard the old lines and don't want to use it. I don't know why I do that. Am I going to hoard it forever??!!

October Afternoon first and foremost but they haven't had any new releases in a long time. I am kind of all over the map in this area now. It used to be that I would consistently LOVE anything that a few certain brands would release but everything is so hit or miss for me now. I like this collection from this mfg and this other collection from another mfg etc. Nothing is consistently loved by me, lol. I just buy whatever strikes me. For example, I am not a huge We R Memory Keepers fan but when I saw the High Five collection I want 2 of everything lol. Pink Fresh also hits me this way. Many times it's too pastely for me but their Oh Joy makes me want to buy every single last piece! Perhaps I'm a fair-weathered patterned paper friend now.

Carta Bella (especially Steven Duncan designs), Authentique, Simple Stories, bits of some American Craft lines (Shimelle, Amy Tangerine, Maggie Holmes). I have lots of October Afternoon and Basic Grey, which are no longer being made. I like Bo Bunny, too, but don't usually buy it for some reason. My favorite plain cardstock is Recollections, because I like the way it cuts on my Silhouette.

My old favourite was October afternoon hands down... My new favourites are Crate paper, Shimelle, Pink paislee (loving their stuff lately), some of fancy pants stuff, Dear lizzy is hit or miss for me. I also like Pink fresh.

I don't really have a go-to line - I buy what catches my eye or is available or works with what I'm scrapbooking.
I like non-pastels, non-distressed, non-washed out...

I was a die hard Crate Paper fan for a while and I still like a lot of what they do but I don't know that I'd say I have a favourite any more. I'm drawn to the lightly distressed and more muted colours, they seem to better fit what I'm scrapping about currently.

I'm an equal opportunity paper lover! It doesn't have to be current, but I prefer it to have a nice thickness. If it's pretty but thin, I can back it with ugly and thick or use it for layers. I think my first loves that were name brand were My Minds Eye and Basic Grey. I frequent many scrapbook stores yard sales and collect the yummy papers others are done with. I love finding October Afternoon, Sassafras and current brands.

Doodlebug is perfect for the thousands of pics I need to scrap of my DD. I also like most Bella Blvd, some October Afternoon, some Carta Bella and Echo Park, some Pebbles. I like bright, clear colors for the most part. I used to like Bo Bunny but haven't liked any of their lines for a long time, and Graphic 45 is too dark and vintage looking for my taste.

It used to be SEI until they closed their warehouse store. I probably gravitate to Echo Park. I like primary colors that are a bit muted and tend to stay away from feminine lines. I don't have a clear favorite.

Depends on what I'm scrapping. Lines by Shimelle or Amy Tan, Crate Paper, Bella Blvd, Fancy Pants Design, MME, & Carta Bella are in the mix of my current purchases.

I did forget too mention my minds eye. I'm drawn to the vintage distresses look too. I'm not to interested in the modern paper at all so shimelle and Maggie Holmes line as well are others that are similar is not my taste at all.

I've been liking Pink Paislee and Pink Fresh quite a bit. I wish these scrapbooking companies would come up with more unique names hahaha
Crate Paper often has a nice line come out, but they are more hit or miss for me.

Shimelle, Pink Paislee and most Crate paper offerings are my current favorites. I am really liking Gather by Maggie Holmes and Go Now Go by Shimelle this fall. Love pink fresh and snow and cocoa for Christmas.

My favorite go to has always been October Afternoon so I am really liking Carts Bella lines that Steve Duncan is designing. I also have been liking Photoplay, Pink Fresh Studios, Tim Holtz paper and back in the day I loved Rusty Pickle.

Doodlebug and Bella Blvd. The past release of Bella Blvd looked nearly identical to KI Memories from back in the day when they first intro'd. I don't know if Bella has the same designer as KI or maybe KI was reimagined but it looks amazing! Doodlebug, from the moment I first laid eyes on them, had always been my go-to favorite but my money now gets split between Bella and Doodlebug. I love the thickness of Bella's papers and their tone-on-tone designs are wonderful. And Doodlebug's embellies are awesome.
My requirements for patterned paper: give me bright, saturated colors and no distressing, please. That knocks a lot of paper companies out of consideration for me.

Sadly, my favorite manufacturers are no longer in business - KI Memories, Chatterbox, & October Afternoon.

I'm bad because I'm not loyal at all.
Some scrappers know all the release dates, and know what's coming.
I can't get into the hype, or I would be utterly broke.
I buy papers in person, usually in a pad. I go to Michael's, AC Moore, and even Walmart.
I just buy what I like at the time.

I'll buy anything I like but my favorites are October Afternoon, Sassafras, Cosmo Cricket, and Echo Park. I like a lot of Pink Paislee but it's a bit hit or miss as is Crate Paper. I used to love everything that Fancy Pants did but their style has changed so much that I no longer care for a lot of what they do.
I have to say that the last few years have seen trends that are just not my thing. I find some things that I like but overall, a lot of it is pretty meh for me.
