I, surprisingly, got mine today (it was shipped USPS and I didn't get a tracking number. It was sent on the 22nd). There's a lot of stuff and I'm pretty excited about it! My box included: Urban Luxe - Cardstock Die Cuts - Watercolor paper alphabet die cuts - eclectic embellishments - canvas pennant - 6x6 paper pad Saturday Morning - candy buttons - flower kit cozy posies - chenille flowers Hillside - die cut leaves - painted wood plant stakes - mixed tags - chipboard stickers - 6x6 paper pad 6.5x6.5 kraft album 7x9 kraft album with a yellow spine with an extra set of page protectors 12x12 best of basicgrey 2 paper pad I'll be excited to hear everyone else receives! So you got Saturday morning embellishments and no paper to go with them? I guess buttons and flowers are pretty versatile. I haven't got mine yet but I'm hoping for more paper and not to get any albums. I can get albums anywhere. Thanks for sharing the contents! Nope, no paper to go with the Saturday Morning embellishments. |

I'm out of town so I haven't seen mine yet. I will be bummed if I got embellishments without matching paper. What's up with that?

I though everyone was supposed to get the best of basicgrey paper pad? I did not get one.

I got a giant (for me) package of random 12 x 12 papers and stickers from Hillside, Urban Luxe, and Dear Heart. Which is funny because, even though I know they didn't accept special orders, I still told them I do PL and asked for smaller scale stuff. Sounds like I got more 12x12 than most. The rest of it is mostly the same, just a little less embellishments and only one album.

ellewood it sounds like we got a similar box. I was looking forward to some older paper, but I'm happy with the selection I received. Although I did get two albums.

That was disappointing.
The ONLY paper I got was the best of 2 pad which I already and didn't like. Just a bunch of embellishments from the new lines which is strange that they debuted at cha only to close shop the week after.
Definitely soured me.

What good are embellishments without the paper? I knew the boxes were to be new product from the last lines. My box should be here tomorrow so we'll see what it contains. I got one of the last boxes they had so I'm not expecting much at this point. |

I bet that the first boxes are probably things that were already being put together and when interest peaked, they added more and ended up being more of a hodge podge of stuff. I love so much from their newest releases, but it's selling out everywhere so fast. I'm sure a bunch of it will show up at TM soon. The prices on the last batch was insane. I just didn't 'need' most of it. But I left one lone package of enamel dots (and bought the other 15...the loner was half pink and half neon yellow...neither I see myself using) for 99 cents each. My three biggest hoarded supplies are Thickers, washi and enamel dots/shapes. Ephemera could be on the list, but I actually use enough to be noticeable.
I'm curious to hear how varied it gets from the people who bought really close to sell out since it seems like there are two groups. A set of items with little deviation and a bunch of randomness.

My issue with the embellishments is that they aren't really very scrappy. The sequin and button and string pack, and the pennant flag pack. Very not me.
The epoxy dots from Saturday morning are about my favorite thing, and I'm not a huge fan of dots. Oh well, I got my money's worth but barely. They said it would be $100 of stuff, mine is not.

Is anyone else wondering what to do with the veneer plant stakes from the Hillside collection?

I was expecting "warehouse" stuff, that's been sitting for more than a month. It sounds like they got zero cha orders and had to unload fast. I love the new lines, but again I got non scrapbook embellishments. |

I love the new lines, but again I got non scrapbook embellishments. I knew it was new product but only because I placed my order over the phone and asked if the boxes were different. I was told No, they would all be the same and with the just announced lines. BG wasn't at CHA but I don't know when they decided to close the papercrafting side of their business. It will be interesting to compare our box contents as I was one of the last to order. There were only 9 boxes left when I placed my phone order the day after the announcement about the sale. What I'm thinking is that they oversold the boxes or they had more orders that expected come in from their regular vendors like ACOT or Scrapbook.com and they have had to finish out the warehouse boxes with what they had. |

My issue is I don't think I received over $100 in product, as promised. If they ran out of boxes they should have said "sold out" and stopped taking orders.

Received my box! I think I was one of the lucky ones. I got some of all the new collections including 2 6x6 paper pads and a lot of 12x12 from the new collections. I did not get the Best of BG but am pleased with the paper I received. It tallies to just over $130. Here's the video of everything: BG Warehouse Box Video |

I finally got home and opened my box, and I am very happy with what I got. I am pleasantly surprised at how well all of the collections in the Best of BG blend together. I love all of my new embellishments.
I ordered a 6x6 pad in Urban Luxe and a few sheet of other collections to round out the mix. Looks like I'm all set with BG for eternity. It sure is pretty!
ETA: I also got a 7x9 journal with pages, pockets and dividers, and a 6.5x6.5 album with chipboard pages that aren't pictured.

My box arrived. I'm not really excited about what I got. Seems to be a mix of really unrelated things for the most part. I guess that's the risk you take when you order something like that. - Best of Basic Grey 2 paper pad
- 2 albums
- 25th and Pine 6x6 pad
- Aurora 6x6 paper pad
- J'Adore card kit
- Urban Luxe eclectic embellishment kit - sequins, buttons, and string
- Saturday Morning enamel dots
- 2 packs of bling
- chenille flowers
- Second city frames
- 25th & Pine wax seals
- Evergreen die cuts
- Urban Luxe die cuts
- Barista sticker sheet
- South Pacific alphabet sticker sheet

How much was the BG box? I ordered from FP and got a bunch of stuff. Just wondering if they were close in price.

Got mine last night. Similar to everyone else's -- 2 small pads, the best of 12x12 pad, two albums, lots of embellishments.
I love it. I ordered a bunch of Hillside and Urban Luxe paper from ACOT that also came yesterday. The BG stuff is almost all from those two lines, so I feel like I have two pretty complete sets. I'm very happy with it.
The albums are not something I'd usually use, but I have a couple of events coming up that they might make a nice gift for.

I also got an album, and one pack of divided page protectors, from the Hello line. Not sure if I'll use that at all, have to see. The slots are pretty small, 3.25x3.25 or 3.25x2.25.
I also got:
Urban Luxe full 12x12 paper pack with some stickers
Urban Luxe 6x6 paper pad
UL Watercolor paper die cuts (letters)
UL canvas pennant kit
UL eclectic embellishment kit
Hillside 6x6 paper pad
HS designer chalkboard stickers
HS die cut leaves
HS veneer plant stakes
HS mixed tags
Saturday Morning die cuts cardstock and vellum
Saturday Morning candy buttons
Basics metal studs
and a pack of Capture clear pockets. These look really interesting, I can see myself using them.

Not really happy with what I got...I would rather have spent $50 on things I chose...didn't feel it was worth it...but its the chance you take. I am disappointed that it stated we would all get the best of BG pad and I did not get that....

I was hoping for card kits and/or page kits. I love packing those to work on when I am traveling. I knew it was a crapshoot when I ordered, though.
