What online stores sell Cocoa Vanilla in the US or Canada? I am really in love with their stuff but it is so difficult to find if you don't live in Australia.
I am trying to branch out into Canadian and Australian companies. I'm really tired of seeing the same collections basically repeated over and over.

Is their paper worth the hefty price? I have never seen it in person.
Maybe I should check youtube and see if anyone reviewed it.

The paper is gorgeous and patterns I don’t see from US companies. The price though prevents me from getting everything. I can’t afford it all like I can with collections I love from the US. |

Smooth finish. Cuts like butter with the Silhouette. Tears nicely for a distressed ink edge. Verigated colouring makes it excellent for background papers. Collections have a nice mix of those general backgrounds plus not over the top cut aparts and diecuts. I bought the Boys Rule collection last year at this time, used it all, then replaced the pages l loved when I saw them available in store. This year I ordered the "Legendary" line. It should be arriving at my door sometime in the next week and I am excited to unite it with the dregs of Boys Rule in one bag b/c they seem to go together really well. Love all the blues and greens, not just for boy's LO but for summer outdoors and also general LO's. |

I’ve purchased Cocoa Vanilla from Clique Kits before. cliquekits.com/They sell some of the usual stuff that you see everywhere, but they also have a decent international selection and unique custom products. |

I bought the Legendary collection and love it. I paid a lot for it and it is definitely worth it. I'd love to find some old Boy's Rule collection but the only places I've found that still have some are in Australia. I do like it because it isn't so gosh darn pink. I keep looking for scrapbook lines that have different color palettes than the typical American Craft lines.

It is really nice paper, but I wouldn't say it is any better than most higher quality papers. I just fondled the Legendary line and would say it is thicker than Echo Park, but not as thick as old school Carta Bella. |

I own a Canadian store and would love to bring it in but it's just so expensive for us right now  |

I equate Cocoa Vanilla to having a piece of wonderful, melt in your mouth German chocolate compared to a Hershey's bar. It's indulgent but I love their designs so for me it's worth every penny. I buy from Paper Issues and I sprinkle in some other brands in my order so I don't "feel" it. However, I've been scrapping 26 years with a lot of paper in my supply so I don't feel like I want to keep up with every line. I just buy what I absolutely love and for sure that is CV.
