*NEW* Graphic 45 - August release (holiday)

I think the Autumn Greeting is very pretty. As with all Graphic 45 the A sides tend to be busy for the way I scrap, but the B sides tend to be very usable for my style. I don't think that I feel the need to buy any of it, but to open the link and see it all presented together, I just thought it was very lovely to look at.

My first impression of Merry & Bright was that it appeared quite dark and very formal, neither of which would work for me. However, when I started looking at individual papers, there are several that I think are very pretty and that are brighter in color as well. The cut apart sheets could make gorgeous cards if that's your style, and I think the green and cream based ornament papers are both lovely, as are the cream based sheets with holly and pinecones and such. Again, though, I don't think I will actually look to buy any of it.

As usual, nothing. Not a brand I use or like.

I’ve never been a fan of Graphic 45. It’s always been way too gaudy for me, but this isn’t horrible.

I find G45 hard to work with even when I love the graphics. Not a fan of either of these lines. I don't like the yellow/cream background on the fall line. And the Christmas one is very dark.

Autumn Greeting - This is lovely although I too have a hard time using most of Graphic 45's lines. I don't need any of this but oh those little fox faces!
Merry & Bright - A little too dark for me. Although I do love that "Jingle Bells" pp.

Thanks for showing us PaperAngel.

G45 has had a couple of stand out collections that I really loved, but overall I stay away from it. I have sold most of what was aging in my stash as I just don't use it. The autumn line is not bad, but there are lines out there that I much prefer.

If I was going to create a memory book, I’d consider Merry and Bright. I don’t think I’d use it otherwise.

This is not a company I gravitate to, so I was surprised I like a couple of pieces in the Christmas line although I'm unlikely to buy anything. This is one that falls in the pretty to look at but never buy it category.
