I love lemons! Even though I KNOW that I will have an impossible time trying to use the new Simple Stories Lemon Twist collection because of the vintage spin, I HAVE TO HAVE IT! I want to make a recipe album to justify my reason for buying it. I really love it too. |

Travel paper and anything with stars is definitely my weakness, although I am getting better about buying designs I will actually use instead of just hoard.
I also seem to have trouble passing up watercolour was backgrounds, especially if there is an ombre to the wash.

My patterned paper weaknesses are classic (e.g. plaids, stripes, dots) & office-inspired (e.g. lined, ledger) patterns.

Hello lemon lovers! I thought I would be the only one! In addition to lemons, my pattern weaknesses are: leaves, books, space/stars and martinis  |

Rainbows, wood grain, navy in almost any pattern.

Rainbow order anything. Then when I look at each paper individually if it's just arranged in a rainbow not actual rainbows on the paper, I can sometimes restrain myself. I grew up in the 80s, blame the Care Bears and Rainbow Brite... Hahahah those 80's cartoons got me good too. I have Care Bears things all over my house, if they make it I will buy it. I have an unhealthy relationship with all things original Care Bears, Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake and She-ra & He-man (even named my daughter Teela  ) My major paper addiction is animated food stuffs, think happy smiling tacos and cupcakes and pickles, I can not resist. Doodlebug has my money every time. I also buy every swiss dot, diagonal stripe and tiny heart print I can get my hands on. |

I’m a sucker for a good wood grain, a diagonal stripe, and stars.
And airplanes. Always airplanes.

For me it's all about the colours - the patterns are secondary. But as far at patterns go, I love stripes, dots, and flowers, as well as watercolour / mixed media backgrounds.

I have a Doodlebug food-themed sticker set in my stash, just waiting to be used. I have the perfect idea for it, for a trip we haven't even taken (and may not even take this year...  ), but I am so excited to use it. It's cutesy compared to the patterned paper and solid paper I want to use for the rest of the book (I swear I'm not insane, I just really liked the patterned paper! ), but I could not pass it up! |

Like others, I am guilty of buying every wood grain and ledger/lined paper I see! And then I don't use it. Because apparently I'm afraid I will never be able to get another piece! LOL! I'm also guilty of buying paper in every shade of aqua, turquoise, teal, and mint that I can find. And, I also don't use that. I dunno why.

You had to ask. Card maker confession: I spent a whole lot to buy a whole lot of Hero Arts 8.5 x 11 cardstock that hasn’t been manufactured for some time.
They used to sell 12-packs of three harmonious colors, light/medium/dark, and white on the other side. The paper is so smooth and the colors soft yet rich and vibrant, and there were eight different color stories. I liked six. Just a few pieces and some scraps of one of my favorites was left, and I recently made and sent a card with it, but it was a little hard to cut it up and send it away.
It prompted me to look on line for the nth time to see if anyone had any. Bingo, pre-folded cards on Amazon in three of the varieties popped up, and when it arrived I called the LSS that sold it. They had tons of the 3-color packs, individual colors, patterned paper and envelopes! I didn’t know about any except the 3-color packs.
A heavy box with the order arrived yesterday. The LSS gave a quantity discount and another 10% off on sun damaged packs. Just the top piece is affected on some, and as my new BFF at the LSS said, the damage is pretty neat. One piece has polka dots on it from where the sun came through a pegboard to where it was hanging on the other side. A few others have a very even dark to light ombré look.

I love anything maps, cats, food graphic, gardening, woodgrain...I think there's too many to name. Hence, the paper goddess. And your profile picture is [very most adorable] cats on wood grain. A two-fur. (Sorry.) |

For me it's not really a holiday or theme..
My weakness is the cuteness of Doodlebug Design paper. I buy it all - 2 sheets of each so I always have one LOL!

Definitely woodgrain, non tropical beach, snow and then pretty much any theme I can use. I love the Simple Stories Family Fun collection although I don't have any.
I also love anything with a historical theme. I love Prima, Stamperia, etc and some Graphic 45 themes.
I also love love love bright colors like Vicki Boutin Storyteller.

Blues, purples, wide stripes, gingham, rainbow colors (not necessarily rainbows themselves), and stars always seem to catch my eye.

I love map paper, ledger, woodgrain and polka dots. That lemon collection from SS is calling my name and I'm trying to resist. I have other lemon papers. Do I need the whole thing? (rhetorical) That green/ blue/ yellow combo is so pretty!

All of it? Ha.
I do love dots and stripes. I always buy those if buying individual papers.
Also, simple, “quiet” grid paper for backgrounds. I remember when SC used to have a grid paper pack. I still have some. Love it.

Definitely anything with stars. Also love graph, especially in different colors. Christmas and Fall are also my weakness! Fall mainly because I love the colors (they generally don’t have pink or florals) and it’s my favorite time of year.

Anything I can use in card making that can be used for the guys as well as the gals. Ninety percent of the cards I make go to men. That means a lot of neutrals in patterns and nature themes, but I also like deep, rich colors.
Once in a great while, I'll grab a cutesy paper, but not often.
