And another one bites the dust...

So it's goodbye to Basic Grey, yet another big name to stop producing papercrating materials.
When I first started scrapbooking, 10 years ago, Basic Grey were top of the tree for so many of us. Sad to see them go.

I was just about to start a thread along the very same lines! I am gutted - I have always loved BG since I started scrabooking and use their papers all the time (I have so many!). I love the way they work together and can be mixed and matched.

Very disappointing!

Shocked by this news BG always has been my most fave of all the paper designers...........off to see what I can find to buy before it all goes now.

BG was my favourite paper ever. I still hoard some of it. There were a few dodgy collections but some were so fab I would wallpaper a room in them if I could.

so sad

Me too - they were my 'go to' company. I loved their 'plain' papers especially, with the wonderful shabby chic look.

[Efemera]

Bummer... My favourite was Lollipop Shop.. Can you get digi stuff?

[misteejay]

I loved their shabby chic stuff but wasn't so keen on some of the more recent ranges. Such a shame to see another big name stop papercraft products.

One of my faves...

I still covet a sheet of the corrugated vellum!

[Cris]

I still have a few sheets of Motifica and Sublime (as well as other collections)
Very sad

I loved Scarlet's Letter, I bought some more sheets just to look at from time to time.

I believe so have a look at their website.

I'm so glad I bought and hoarded so many 'bargain' BG collections, mainly earlier ones, but some newer. I have a few 'masculine' sets which are great - for men / male LOs, not ones with robots and cars for little boys!

I remember getting some flamboyant Scarlett's Letter paper in, if I remember correctly, a cybercrop kit - it was the first time I'd used such a bold paper, and i loved it!

It was a bit sudden wasn't it but it was wierd because as soon as I saw the subject line of that email I knew what it'd say before I opened it

I liked Scarlet Letter too and the lilac/blue and yellow one, Lily Kate I think it was called and there was a really crazy one called Euphoria - not something I could ever use for scrapping but I made some really cool stationery with that collection pack
