My favourite collection ever ever (and I still have some because I bought a lot of it) was K and Co Blue Awning. I still love it just as much today.
I am cross with myself that I don't use it because surely it is better to have it in an album than on my shelf (but the struggle is real!!!)

[RED HEAD]

Oh I have too many to mention!!!
But here are a few.
AMERICAN CRAFT, travel papers.
BASIC grey , wild asparagus.
7GYPSIES , MY MINDS EYE, ME AND MY BIG IDEAS, CREATE PAPER. BO BUNNY. TERESA COLLINS.
The list is endless.

I sometimes use the PM stuff to make envelopes for odd sized cards as it's white on the back, so the envelope has a 'pretty' lining.
I also use 'too nice to cut' pieces as a cover lining for my albums, so they get seen and aren't a waste of money, I must need more albums as I have lots in my stash still LOL.

I buy differently now too, still no shops in this area, but I don't feel that I have to buy everything I see these days, apart from having more than a lifetime's worth of stash, I'm pickier, although if there's something Navy blue it's going to come home with me, as it used to be such a hard colour to find but features in lots of my pics.

I have loads of papers Basic Grey [I think Lily Kate was my favorite], Crate Paper, My Minds Eye, Echo Park, Bo Bunny and Scenic Route, I should probably stop there but have probably only done 2 layouts in the last 2 years as I mostly make cards. I have also used papers with white backs for envelopes but sometimes you need a reminder to do it so thank you for the prompt.
I also have a few sets of Thickers to use too, I suppose I had better sort some photos and a sketch and do something

Mine is Kaisercraft High Tea. I am fast running out but it’s a real favourite of mine.

[RED HEAD]

Mine too Elaine, I still have a few sheets.

A couple more from me never used, either just too lovely or kids designs and now we have the kiddies to use it up on. First, Brenda Pinnick and the WRMK's White-out. There will be more.

I loved crate Paper, sassafras lass and Wild Asparagus too.

And in those days papers were all you got … maybe a sheet with tags etc. Now a collection has embellishments, chipboard, die cuts, titles, brads, stickers you name it. I like it when it was just paper and I’m sure it’s why I fussy cut or print most of my embellishments and buy very few of the extra bits.

I just used some WRMK White Out a couple of weeks ago Susie

Lots more great brands being mentioned: how could I forget Teresa Collins? Best. Travel. Papers. Ever. And I still have some.
anyway, I would love to see more people mentioning the paper brands when they post their LOs.

[scrapdolly]

That's a great idea Margo. I am very remiss about doing his and will try and so better. It's useful to others isn't it.

I often don’t know where paper I’m using comes from, if I do know I will try and remember to identify them

Fab lot of chat. I used to struggle the same as Cris, buying only a few sheets and then struggling to make something. I had a large clear out when I moved with my partner, now husband and got rid of a lot older stuff I hadn’t used. The shopping channels were dangerous- such large bundles that didn’t end up getting used. I’m sure I still have a few sheets of K and co, SEI, basic grey , I also have a number of paper pads from crate paper that I got from TK max because they were a bargain. I didn’t buy much paper Mania though as it wasn’t my style.

I also went mad for the Marty Stewart punch around the page sets - and have a whole load in the loft.

[scrapdolly]

Oh Jo you are so right. QVC was really dangerous. I bought some big sets I never used …eg my Anna Griffin.

I have the Martha Stewart punch around the page too. I ought to get rid of it
