Has anyone out there in Pealand tried this new paper brand? Some of the papers are designed by Samantha Walker who designs for Carta Bella and I've bought her shapes for the Silhouette.
I'm always excited to find something new, since it seems so much is disappearing lately.

I have their Christmas collection. The patterns are really nice...traditional which is what I was going for this year. But I don't think the colors matched well. There were different shades of red that didn't look nice together (imo) and it was weird and frustrating that some of the patterns were white based and others were cream based so I had a hard time matching them up too. It was the first time I ever have had a problem working within a collection.

I even have two boxes for my Christmas stash - one cream, one white.

mikklynn it was making me crazy too! I ended up using one patterned paper as a frame around cardstock, a few stickers, a few pieces of tone on tone paper plus some from My Mind's Eye.

I even have two boxes for my Christmas stash - one cream, one white. I bought the Christmas one for the traditional designs, too. I didn't do my Christmas pages yet so I haven't really looked at the paper. But I agree the white/cream mix will make my head hurt.
I like the idea of separating out the cream and white, I will try that.
My plan is to use the cream based for my childhood Christmas pages.
