I was looking through my scrapbooks and noticed how much I use to like certain SB companies stuff and how now I don't like it. Which made me think about companies I use to avoid and now own everything from.
I use to love Basic Grey but now don't like anything they have. I use to dislike Glitz Designs but now I love them.
anyone feel like that about any companies?

I feel the same way about Basic Grey. I used to have to own everything they made. In the past few years, I haven't really liked what they put out. Either the colors just didn't work for me or the patterns were just too...I don't know...crazy. I have a bunch of old BG though so maybe it's good I don't like their new stuff. Keeps money in my pocket!

When Crate first came out, I did not like their stuff that much, now they are probably my favorite brand. Use to love Fancy Pants, now I rarely buy any of their stuff -- but I never see it online or at the stores.

I used to buy every collection from Basic Grey until I realized I was tired of all the muted, distressed treatment on every patterned paper, so I moved on to other styles. Bright colors, no distressing, etc and then those brands became my favorites for awhile, til I got tired of that, LOL! I figure it's normal to have my interests change over time, just like with fashion or home decor, etc.

I used to like Cosmo Cricket, then I figured out I never used any of it because it never went with any of my pictures. I never bought much Basic Grey until a few months ago and now I can't get enough. I didn't used to like Bo Bunny but then they got rid of the distressed look and now I like them.

Loved BG until about 2009- don't like the current lines. Snubbed my nose at MME until recently

Can I play using a technique?
Formerly inked/chalked edges of everything, currently leave them plain. Not exactly done with distressed looks, but taking a break.

I agree about the distressing - I used to do a lot of it, now I forget

I tend to go through phases.....lots of inking, then none. Lots of matting, then none. Lots of distressing, then none. With regards to paper lines....I try to be a non- discriminating user......I love it all!

I'm the same way with BG - used to love everything, now it's hit or miss.
I never used to print my pics with a border, but now that it's so easy to do on my Selphy pretty much all my prints have white borders.

When it comes to paper I really don't pay much attention to the company, I just buy the pattern/theme I happen to like at the time.

Used to love Basic grey. All of it. Every line. Now i have a hard time finding one i really like. This. Their designs now are not appealing to me. Too many geometric or odd patterns. Thank goodness I have about a 12" stack of designs from a few years ago that I really loved.

Just a year ago I was on a MME kick. Now? Not so much. Prima is like that to...I will only use Prima type things on projects for people who like the shabby chic type stuff..nothing on personal though.

Basic Grey for me - I used to buy the complete range of every new range but haven't bought any for several years and just plain dislike it now.

No Basic Grey, no Crate Paper since about 2009-ish. Now Studio Calico, Amy Tan, some Lawn Fawn and Bo Bunny.
I completely moved away from the distress and dark colours into brighter, lighter feeling collections.

Used to love Prima flowers on everything. Now it's a yawn for me. I didn't think I was so fickle until I started thinking about how my tastes have changed. Used to love Club Scrap, too. Haven't seen anything from them in years that interests me. Still love most of BG and MME. Also tired of the distressed TH influence (yes, I said it!).

I used to work in a LSS so I would see all the new product that came in. I used to love BG but being away from a store and not going to one very often I very rarely see new product and couldn't even tell you the name of the last line BG put out. Sadly, I am out of the loop...

Another BG addict in recovery... Also MME. For what was literally years, I loved everything they both made. I think BG lost me shortly after Basics... they changed direction a bit to a collection style that just doesn't work for me. (true confession: I'm matchy matchy. Can't help it.)
For a while, I needed everything BoBunny. It's been a couple of years, and I just can't get into them.
Echo Park... Again, for several years running, I just loved several lines every CHA and couldn't get enough. I'm sad to say it's starting to fizzle a little. (Too much pink. In EVERY.thing.)
My latest can't-get-enough: Simple Stories. A few years and going strong.
But I admit, I see the pattern of how I "get over" companies after a few years, and I'm a little sad thinking there could come a day when I won't like any Simple Stories. Please, let this be true love!!!

I also used love BG, not so much anymore. I used to use colored cardstock as my base for layouts now I stick with white or kraft.
