Default Printed paper

Just wondering if anyone has a special store/website that they purchase their printed sheets of paper...scrapbook or cardstock. I see so many awesome cards on SCS and the paper matches beautifully. I visit our local craft stores often but theirs seem to be too busy or not very colorful/pretty. Any suggestions???

I buy my Printed paper at the following places.

Hobby Lobby.

And sometimes I make my own printed paper. Using my stamps and inks.

For everything being matching/coordinated, check out that SU! catalog you just got in your hands. My favorite papers in there are the Razzleberry Lemonade and the Cottage Wall. Love them

I find that it is extrememly difficult to match the single sheets at a scrapbook store, unless it is clearly from the same collection. If you are feeling unconfident about your matching ability, look at some of the pads, like by K and Company, or DCWV, or Imaginisce. They papers are then automatically coordinated, and you cen get a ton of cards out of a pad.

I think being a paper hoarder has its advantages :P Also if I use a natural base there's a great chance that the pattern paper will match up perfectly. That's why a lot of my cards are kraft, white, brown, or black. Once in a blue moon I'll do other colors but mostly it's because of a challenge and so I'm forced to use those colors

When you find a paper that grabs you because of the colors or patterns or theme, flip it over. Often the print on the back is more subdued. Love double-sided papers!
