I just read this on my FB feed and came right over here to mourn with my people. I love BG, especially the original offerings. Now I'll need to be so much more mindful in using my stash. Color me very sad.  |

I am not really surprised. But I am sad. I do think, though, that the two collections coming out in Feb are their best ones in a very long time. Its hard to get BG collections - most of the small stores I shop at don't carry them.

I don't shock easy these days but this brought tears to my eyes. I remember the first time I picked up a piece of Basic Gray. It was scrap-life altering.
Maybe Scrapbooking is dying.

What?!
I can't even ....
I didn't see this one coming. I thought they were doing well. I thought their products sold well enough to continue selling papergoods as a sound business decision.
I love Basic Grey. I'm truly shocked, and saddened. And I'm surprised by my own genuine reaction, because of the depth of emotion behind it. I never would have thought I'd feel so strongly about a paper company.

I used to love Basic Grey. I haven't purchased anything in years. Sad to see another company close their doors. Yeah, same for me but still sad to see them go. |

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

OMG, very sad I seem to always pick up a piece or two of lines, and rely on their Calendar Kits for Christmas presents...now what will I do? Tempted to buy a warehouse box, but I'd like some of the new lines so maybe I'll save my $$ for the new stuff (unless the boxes have new stuff in them? anyone think they'll have the new lines in the boxes?) |

Oh, that's so sad! Definitely going to miss them! Thanks for posting, just went to eBay and found an old collection I've been looking for for ages. I occasionally splurge and get a couple of old lines I missed at the time (no money or not scrapping when they came out), so glad I've done that. There are quite a few I've kept in my basket, time to pull the trigger I guess before word really gets out.

What's Modify Ink? Did you do a blog post? This one feels like a blow! I felt like the opened up scrapbook design and styles when they started. I mentioned Modify Ink in a Round-Up post here  It's pretty cool actually. You can personalize art, cards, party supplies, and monograms. Here's a link: app.modifyink.com/gallery/artSounds vaguely like Tom Kat that SC partnered with. |

At Modify Ink, you choose the party suite (or art) and then you change the patterns and colors to whatever you want. The TomKat ones looked like you choose a theme ("teen birthday party") and then select which parts you want to buy, but you are stuck with their color choices, and only one colorway option per party, right? |

I LOVED their card kits. I sold a few of them when I was destashing and now I wish I didn't. My only hope is they show up at Tuesday Morning or Ross or some other discount store like Chatterbox does. I still have a few inches of BG that I was going to destash. Now I think I need to hold onto it.

No way! Such sad news....they excelled at coming out with varied collections and there is so much I don't have!! Ugh, had a stampin up order ready to send to my demo but I'm seriously thinking I may go on a hunt for some BG instead....

I was so sad to read about this. I'm really tempted to get a warehouse box. I've never been disappointed with them in the past.

But if I see it in Ross / T J Maxx / Marshall's / Tuesday Morning, I know I will have to snatch it up quick. I think i miss it already. |

I am actually using "fresh cut" papers in my wedding!
I remember when sublime and motifica debuted--still have a few pieces hoarded. It was the most influential thing to happen to my scrapbook along with Rebecca sower.
I took a several year break from scrapbooking only to return last year and see basic grey was still at it and I've bought quite a bit of their stuff. I'm so sad to see them go and wish them well.
Thankfully I've already placed my warehouse box order and I'm glad now that I did!!

I haven't been scrapping long enough to have a history with BasicGrey but I knew they were awesome-sauce. I actually bought the warehouse box a few days ago because I can't resist a deal! I'm waiting for it to ship but I'm going to try to make an unboxing video when I get it, if I can figure out how to set that up (it would be my first video!). I'll let you all know when it's up! |
