Ok...too many...
Basic Grey..have all the lines in 12 x 12 and the pads plus all the embellys
SU DSP...love them all
Imaginisce...yummy
I love so many different companies that is is really hard to list them...some Cosmo Cricket, some Daisy D..LOTS of Bo Bunny....I am shameless...need it all.
Blessings.
I'm loving the new Basic Grey papers that Gina just got in her store... she'll be adding them to her online store soon, I believe. We got Granola & Urban Prairie in along with the brads, fibers, and buttons - man they are beautiful!
I'm also in love with almost all of Stampin Up's new designer papers... especially in the holiday mini and the fall & holiday ones in the their new catalog.
So much paper to love with so many different companies!!
My recent all time favorites are:
American Crafts - love the vibrancy of all of their colors and patterns, as well as the quality of the paper itself (almost like cardstock)
Graphic 45 - beautiful graphics and colors - really rich looking
Collage Press - gorgeous yummy colors and patterns - I am a paisley and polka dot FREAK
October Afternoon - fun and fabulous patterns, colors, and great coordinating stamps.
Those are the four that I reach for most often these days. Of course, I also love all of the new SU DP. Great stuff.
American Crafts has a lot that I like, and so does Basic Grey... but to tell you the truth - there are a lot out there I like.
Some of PTI's is good - I don't use it that much.
Creative memories has some or used to that was pretty good.
Those big pads at Hobby Lobby are good sometimes.... and whatever catches my eye - oh was I helpful! lol
I just love paper.
i just got my hands on something called Alpine Frost by SEI and really like it. It has a shimmer built in and the paper with the pine cones on is embossed. Yum. I got it from www.iheartpapers.com . There is also a coordinating clear stamp set by the same name.
Also love some of PTI's papers.
I don't like to collect too much because it just sits there mocking me!

I love all the Basic Grey, they don't seem to have any "bad sides" that I don't like. It probably is # 1 for me.
Saw lots of fabulous DSP at CHA - faves were Basic Grey of course, Rusty Pickle, Graphic 45, Karen Foster, Yellow Bicycle, and DCWV but saw many others I loved as well, just can't remember the names.
I love the DCWV paper stacks (GLITTER Stack, yea, yea! my fave) available at Michael's and A C Moore.
Stampin' Up has fabulous paper, too. BUT I get so very frustrated with the double sided paper - they always put my favorites back to back, then I am stuck with paper I don't like as much. I wish they would ask me how to print them - I would direct them to put the ugly ones on the back of the pretty ones.
I love cosmo cricket~ Little girls is one of my all time favorites!
I'm with Lori! Cosmo Cricket Little Girls Biography 101 collection--especially that flowered piece--and any Cosmo Cricket, really, especially Christmas ones!
I also love Melissa Francis for vintage, and some of the Scenic Route for clean and graphic papers. I also love the PaperTrey Bitty Baby Papers--gender neutral and fresh.
My absolute favorite is Cosmo Cricket...I have something from every single line...and all of my books I am working on are mostly Cosmo DP. My favorite of them all is Halfway Cafe.
I do love quite a few Basic Grey...Figgy Pudding is great, and I am waiting to get my hands on some Wassail!!

I am starting a scrapbook about my Mom's life. She was 90 when ahe dies this past May. The thing is she definately was not your run of the mill 50' kind of wife and Mother. She went to art school, drew fashion ads for department store and always heard and listened to different music in her head. I want it to look classy not goofy. She hated pinks and purples!
Any suggestions?
I am a little fuzzy on what I can or can't write in a forum so let me say I like graphic 45 and Basic Grey and some SU dps. I like it best if I can buy individual papers or 6 of one pattern and 1 of another. I am mostly a cardmaker. Sorry if the Mom's scrapbook question puzzled anyone.

I think you can ask anything you like...
Often one thread leads to a question on the subject!!
As for what to use for your mom's book...I truly would look into Cosmo stuff....very little 'girly' items, maybe Fleuriste? It's artsy...yet feminine...
I like the K&Co. Halloween papers this year. There is one pad left at Mike's and I'm thinking about it . . .
where do you get Graphic 45? I looked them up online and wow, what rich color.
I thought you'd never ask!! LOL (you know how I love to enable!!). My most recent favorite online store to get Graphic 45 paper is www.emmaspaperie.com. She has amazing service, very quick and efficient, and always includes a little "gift" inside the package. The only bummer about her service is that her shipping is kind of high - but she always ships via USPS priority, and of course the paper is heavyweight and is perfectly packaged so that it arrives undamaged. Peggysue, I have some extras that I'll send you so that you can see and feel them in real life before you spend your hard-earned moolah.
Right now SU has some BEAUTIFUL DP! Really, too many to mention.
I am also a big fan of Imaginisce's Snowy Jo line.
I really adore Lizzie Anne Design's new Winter Wonderland DP as well.
Those are my current faves. I've only started using DP in the last year when SU started offering a paper pack as a level 1 hostess benefit. It makes it SO easy to crank out a quick card.
I agree with ctychick -- K&Co "Wild Saffron" is my current favorite. I have purchased the double-sided paper and all the embellishments I can find. The colors are lushous and very versatile.

Oh Lordy, I wish I hadn't read your comment. But I did, and I looked in that website. That paper is absolutely gorgeous!
