This is something I noticed recently that I thought I'd ask since we're talking about American Crafts buying up everything. What is AC's relationship to Recollections? Recollections is the Michael's store brand, isn't it?
I was shopping patterned paper at Joann's recently, their super-thin single sided sheets which mostly seem to been from American Crafts. One cute baby girl print with clouds and critters caught my eye. Later I was in Michaels to see what they had, and I saw that exact same paper with a Recollections branding strip on it.
I actually took photos of both to compare and see if they were just a similar design that someone had ripped off, but they appeared to be identical (although the paper weight might not have been).
So is this a case of Recollections licensing a design from AC? Do they often do that? Is one brand better quality paper than the other or are they exactly the same except for the branding strip?
