You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

Graphic 45 gives me the ick.
I pretty much like everyone else, which doesn't necessarily mean I'll use them. For example I think Doodlebug is cute but I can't think of a time when I would actually use it.

My focus has shifted to more cardmaking than traditional scrapbooking, so I don’t buy much in 12x12 anymore. When I do buy 12x12, it’s almost always Christmas and/or specialty paper.
Faves:
Crate Paper Christmas lines
Tim Holtz Christmas
Anna griffin Christmas minus the overly floral and swirly pieces. I tend to stick with the basics vs her “kits”.
The Stamp Market
Not so fave:
Graphic45
Prima
49 and Market
Simple Stories
Doodlebug
P.S. I still miss OA

I like the texture and weight of Carta Bella. I hate the lines with slick feeling paper. I think Photoplay? is like that. Colorplay, which is put out under the umbrella of Photoplay. I agree. Hate it. |

There are very few companies I totally dislike all the time. There are definitely some long gone ones I miss, like Scenic Route, Basic Grey, JilliBean Soup, and KI Memories.
I don't necessarily mind if a company is somewhat repetitive; when I'm in a creative slump there's value in knowing certain things will work together stylistically and/or colour-wise.
Love/almost always buy
-Simple Stories... I actually used to hate it because it seemed more geared to pocket scrapbooking, which isn't my jam;
-49th & Market
-Pink Fresh
-Mintay for their distressed solid side
-Cocoa Vanilla though it's hard to get here in Canada; anyone have a lead on it?
-Viki Boutin!
Really like, usually buy
-Echo Park/Carta Bella
-PhotoPlay
-Bella Boulevard
-Bo Bunny (which I have trouble finding anymore anyway, so)
-Pink Paislee
-Jen Hadfield
-Paige Evans
Doesn't appeal to me:
-Authentique
-Shimelle
-Maggie Holmes
-Obed Marshall
-Amy Tangerine
-Graphic 45 (though there was ONE set we got in a Maker Mania - If you don't know what that is & would like to know ask & I'll elaborate; don't want to digress too much - that I adored)
-Doodlebug (though I'll occasionally pick up a stripe or a polka dot)
-Fancy Pants
-Prima
-P13
-Reminisce
-Stamperia
-The Hobby Lobby & Michaals' brands.
