I'm a member of the Love, RTS group on Facebook... someone just posted that they wrote a comment to bring back their paper on Basic Grey's Facebook page (?) I think... and the response from Basic Grey was "We are considering re-introducing paper if we can get enough interest." seriously?!? this is even a question?? I think we all need to let BG know how we feel about their paper!!

😳😳😳 Basic Grey is still my all time favourite paper! I’d be over the top if they brought back a paper line! 👏👏👏

it looks like the newest photos posted on their Facebook page are of a fabric collection, but the patterns would make BEAUTIFUL scrapbook paper.
they said they might get back into scrapbooking paper in 'some small way' so I don't know what that means, exactly, but maybe if enough people said they missed the BG scrapbook products, they might take it seriously.

Oh wow! That would be good - but ONLY if they keep the same vibes as before. I don't want this to be some 'remake movie' where the remake sucks compared to the original.

here's the link to an image of their newest fabric collection, for Moda. Stiletto for Moda, by Basic Grey.The patterns look similar to their paper patterns, to me- and Moda also has several Basic Grey grungy design fabrics that look like some of my most favorite BG distressed background papers. eta: Grunge Metallic Peacock colored fabric... Grunge Metallic Lead colored fabric... there's 20 solid colors, and 20 polka-dotted colors. I would TOTALLY use any of these for scrapbook pages!

That would be amazing! I was just looking up some of their old lines online with regret that I didn't buy more, back in the day! I've messaged them my email - hope it works out

BG was always one of my favorites. I’d love to see them back. I remember going to scrapbook expos and they’d have collections on sale. I always bought at least one. Okay, maybe two.

I saw that as well but I am actually the opposite in a sense. I would LOVE for them to do a paper comeback but without the grunge look/feel.

At the risk of having things thrown at me , I was never a BG fan because of the grunge look. There was one collection that I really loved though, it had a lot of flowers and some peach/orange colors. I'm awful with remembering names, so ya'll are just gonna have to try and remember what that one was.

Oh, that would be the best! I *loved* Basic Grey, enough to forgive them the odd aberration (grungy Christmas!) Please, can someone tell me who or where I can add my support, by email or leaving something on a list or FB page please? I remember they did some fabric because I was lucky to find the whole range totally by chance in Tomato, the fabric shop in Tokyo. It was end of line and was ridiculously cheap! Please, don't ask if I've used it, will you? : : (In my defence I keep it in a cute fabric basket and pet it from time to time!) Attachments:

I would also really love them to come back. If they did, I would stock up on their grungy solids in massive amounts. I loved their grungy collections, and their later lines, all in equal measure. I would really, really like it if they came back to the world of paper.

I’m wondering if, with the past few years’ trend toward a cleaner aesthetic, if grunge is due to come back soon. Styles always seem to come back around eventually.

It's probably my fav collection. Or 2nd fav. Or somewhere up there! LOL!

After reading this post, I reached out to BG on FB also and let them know that I supported them bringing back paper collections. They sent me a message back asking for my email to add to their "list" of interested people and also asked me to share with anyone who would be interested. So, yeah, if you want them to bring it back...let them know!

I don't have Facebook, so I can't contact BG that way. I'd love to see Nook and Pantry and PB&J brought back!

I know it’s not quite the same thing, but you can buy many of their products digitally. You can print at home, or have it printed... (I love Persnickety Prints for that, and I believe their big print sale is this weekend.) www.snapclicksupply.com/basicgrey/
