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. I loved Scenic Route as well, I have quite a lot of it hoarded, I loved the small repeating patterns they did and they were quite different compared to everything else. To me they always did useable embellishments with arrows and things that could be used for all sorts of LOs. My Highline has shipped! Fingers crossed it's here tomorrow! So excited about that, thank you again anniefb, I have a lot of papers (I bought another collection pack, 6x6 pad and extra coloured papers too anyway) but I was running low on embellishments. So I bought pretty much 2 packs of everything! I think it's impossible to make a bad LO with Highline, it looks stunning on black backgrounds and I seriously love every LO I've ever used it on! *rubbing hands together in glee*

Another vote for Basic Grey. I miss them. I really do. As do I.

Since I mainly scrap in pockets now, I vote to bring back Gossamer Blue. Well-designed kits full of embellishments and no drama.
If I still did 12x12 traditional scrapping, it would be Scenic Route. Their ‘basic with a twist’ patterns and vivid, cheerful color schemes were so for me easy to use.

Ohhh Highline, where did you find such a treasure kiwigirl?! I was looking for it awhile ago and couldn't find much.

I think I'd pick Basic Grey, but the early years, when I loved it all.
I don't need to say OA, because Steven Duncan with Carta Bella is reviving their kitschy vibes.

I loved Basic Grey and have a hoard, but I also really miss 7Gypsies. I know it was not for everyone, but I loved a little shop in downtown Mesa, Arizona, that was full of old vintage oak cupboards and furniture and tons of 7G. I use all of my stash sparingly.
We really did have options a long time ago.

We really did have options a long time ago. Man, I was a massive 7Gypsies fangirl at one stage. I remember they left a comment on my blog one time and I was bouncing off the walls I was that excited! I have quite a stash of their stuff and it's really not my style anymore but I could never get rid of it because I loved it so much at one time. Typing this has made me want to pull out my stash and use some though

And I'm so glad that I never purged paper as much! Paper makes me happy. I could not agree more. I miss all you have said and also Daisy D's. I loved their Christmas lines.

First choice would be Basic Grey. I didn't start scrapping until the end of their run. I really liked the distressed look of their papers. Now I use Paper Loft. Distressed look is similar.
Second choice would be Little B. Yes, I know you can still find some things, but they are now dormant (whatever that means). No website, no Facebook presence, no new products. Makes me sad. Will hoard what I have.

I'd be hard pressed to choose only one and would probably go with Basic Grey simply because their papers really covered a broad spectrum of designs even though they were all clearly BG (and I loved their distressed solids). There's plenty of others mentioned that I'd love to see still designing: Scenic Route, Making Memories, Lily Bee, Autumn Leaves...

Basic Grey would be a dream to have back. I miss them so much! Anytime I dig into my stash, I love what I create.

I just scrapped a page with Highline last week. I was weeding out my 17 year old stash and was delighted to find that collection.
I've never got rid of any Basic Grey and I have a ton of their collections. I still use them a lot.
I was also an October Afternoon person but their A sides were often hard to work with. I am crazy about their B sides.
