I've started working on a vacation album I had never finished, and had kept my own little "kit" of papers and embellishments with it so the last few pages would be cohesive with the rest of the album, even though I started it a few years ago. The majority of the papers I used were Basic Grey Konnichiwa, and Glitz Designs Uncharted Waters. Even though I started that album...holy crap....it was 2013!! I still freaking love these lines! I bought the crap out of Uncharted Waters, I used it for another vacation album, a cruise, mixed with coordinating papers from my stash. I still have probably 20 sheets of it....Favorite line EVER. We live on the gulf coast, my FIL has a sailboat, so the nautical motif is very useful. I love that it isn't the traditional red and royal blue of lots of nautical lines, I love that it has ocean and dreamy feeling motifs, it has my favorite colors to scrap with, navy, hot pink, and golden yellow, with kraft. Just a little distressing....and the nautical theme isn't in your face...just subtle anchors here and there, and ocean wave looking patterns. I wish it came with more embellishments, but those papers were my dream line! I've probably used 3 6x6 paper pads, 1 8x8 paper pad, and probably 20 sheets of this line over the years. I'll be sad when I'm done, but I think it's had a good run, and I'm not tired of it yet - I just pulled it back out to finish this project and was reminded of my love for it. So, do you have a collection or line that's been your all time favorite? A paper or a few that has found its way into dozens of various layouts? What made it your favorite? Is there a current line that you love? Tell me tell me tell me! For more current favorites, I'd have to say Shimelle's Starshine line. I love the fresh colors and clean look. Love the coral and blues, and while the space theme is not my thing, the rest of the papers and embellishments make me so happy. I'm probably on my way to it being my Uncharted Waters replacement, the way things are going...I find places to use pieces of it all over the place.  |

A few years ago it was American Crafts (I think) Chaps line. It had great blue, gray, mustard yellow, and orange colors.
I don't currently have a favorite. Well, maybe OA Farm Girl.

So hard to pick one, but MME Follow Your Heart, PP Parisian Anthology, and TC Tell Your Story are some of my very favorites!

Basic Grey's Wander and OA's Rocket Age are my top picks for a collection. I would love to have some more of both of those.

I'm very random with my scrapping. Two pages about the same event sometimes have completely different color schemes. The only thing that came to mind was SEI had a perfect green solid paper that I'd buy a 25 pack of if I could find it again.

I should have bought more!! The scrapper's anthem! I can't name a specific collection, but I always loved, loved, loved anything Basic Grey. I am so sad and disappointed that so many companies have merged with AC. There is too much sameness. |

Basic Grey Granola it my all time favorite. It's discontinued now. I just love the blues, green and browns and the patterns. I sent an e-mail to them a few years ago asking for it in digi but didn't get a reply. I should try again.

KI Memories Colorful is probably the collection from which I purchased (& continue to hoard) the most. Since its release over a decade ago, I've only bought by the sheet (for the classic patterns on the reverse) & few embellishments (usually paper-based, such as labels, stickers, journaling cards) from manufacturers (most frequently October Afternoon & Echo Park). Basic Grey Granola it my all time favorite. It's discontinued now. I just love the blues, green and browns and the patterns. I sent an e-mail to them a few years ago asking for it in digi but didn't get a reply. I should try again. Unfortunately, it isn't an option since Basic Grey is out of business. |

Well that is unfortunate! LOL! I do have a 6x6 paper pad that I look at and admire every once in a while. At one point I did try scanning the papers, but my little home scanner just didn't cut it and I think it would be frowned upon at a copy shop. |

I don't currently have a favorite. Well, maybe OA Farm Girl. Farm Girl was the first line that popped into my head when I saw this question! Love it, still have some of it, and use it in lots of projects. |

I would have to say Simple Stories Say Cheese line. It really broke the mold of Disney-themed products and added that lovely blue to the red, black, yellow color scheme. I have everything from that first release (and the paper pad from HL), and love the sequels too.
I'd also like to add Amy Tangerine's Plus One. Love it. Have the papers, some embellies and the PL kit.

Oh how I miss Basic Grey... |

I like bright and colorful and I am usually scrapbooking kid pictures so I miss Sassafrass Lass. One of my favorites was their Nerdy Bird line. SO cute!

I immediately though of AC Chap as well.THE most fabulous line with the perfect colour scheme and great useful patterns. I only had the papers though,no embellies. My second fave....OA rocket age...that particular navy/blue/red/black/yellow colour scheme...too fabulous. I will hoard it for as long as I can ....and I have used a lot. Somehow it is so versatile. |

Funny how no one has picked a current line with the pink,turquoise aqua,gold colour scheme that is still EVERYWHERE!
I hope some manufacturers check this board!

Simple Stories 'Fabulous' and 'Awesome' collections are still among my favourites - I wish I had more of both. And anything Basic Grey. For those of you who love BG, SnapClick Supply have some of their lines in digital format. |
