Basic Grey doesn't even update their website anymore? Most pages are under construction, "Urban Luxe" still pops up as a new collection. How weird. They fully depend on social media for the promotion of their fabric releases these days, it would seem. Little chance of them returning even for an ephemeral collection (can you image how quick they'd sell out if they put out a Christmas kit?). *heavy sigh*

Oooh, I need to add another one. Chickaniddy's first release wasn't fantastic, but their 2nd (and last) was amazing. One of my favorite (I bought a collection pack to get another one because the single sheets were sold out everywhere...I loved it that much) wood grains ever was from them. I felt like they were starting to hit their stride and then they just vanished.

I agree with most of what has been mentioned, especially October Afternoon.
The company I would like to bring back is the original Studio Calico, before they went to shit.

I was sad Chickaniddy didn't last very long, too. I loved the owners and working on their DT. I'm hoarding the product I have left! Although I was not lucky enough to receive any of their last release.
For me, I miss Sassafras, Scenic Route, and Making Memories the most.

Evalicious I feel like she was ahead of the curve in terms of embellies & stamps that are now mainstream.

Since it has to be just one - Scenic Route
(Honorable Mention would be to bring back Bazzill before AC took them over...and WRMK, especially albums/protectors)

Making Memories was SO awesome back in the day. I loved all their bright fun colors and all the various embellishments and âstuffâ they came out with. Daisy Dâs was another one that I loved, they had really great ideas for using their stuff. I loved their Christmas collections. And my final pick would be Flair Designs, they had the best beach and tropical collections!

Making Memories. I loved their papers, their tools, and of course the still good after all these years alpha rub ons. I remember when people complained about the acrylic paint lids being difficult to remove. The company put the word out for people to email them and theyâd replace all the lids with the new redesigned ones free. Amazing customer service.
Basic Gray gets my runner up vote.

I was waiting for someone to bring up Cosmo Cricket! I bought so many CC goodies when I first discovered Tuesday Morning had scrapbooking supplies. One of my top 3 for sure, along with October Afternoon. Basic Grey tops the list, though!

Probably Basic Grey or Making Memories. Sass a Frass Lass gets a nod because I miss their alphabets the most. I have an obscene amount of their alphabets hoarded. To be fair, I have an obscene amount of Sass saved up that I slowly add into layouts every so often. You never know when the scrap apocalypse will happen and you will need all this stuff.

I was thinking about this very thing on the weekend when I was doing one of the challenges using my Dawson digital kit. I was lucky enough to buy a few Basic Grey digital kits before they closed. It was my 3 favourite kits that I also had in paper - Dawson, Color Me Silly and one other - was it Sophie? ETA: I just checked my digi kits and as well as those three I mentioned, I also have Oh! Baby Girl and Oh! Baby Boy.

Basic Grey, of course And Hambly, but only the overlays That would be my second choice as well! I do have a box filled with overlays and there is some paper in there which I never touch! BG is my first choice too, you have good taste coffeegirl!

Basic Grey were my very favourite, but I still have a huge hoard of their papers (although none of Highline, so now I'm tempted to follow in kiwigirl's footsteps and order a bunch). I think I'd have to go with Scenic Route.

Basic Grey, followed very closely by Scenic Route. I loved that they made so many papers in generic patterns you could use for anything, and also had some unusual color schemes.

Another vote for Gossamer Blue, because I am strictly a PL scrapper these days.
If I was still doing traditional 12 x 12, probably Bazzil for cardstock or s.e.i. for patterned paper.
