Trying to remember name of scrapbooking company that send catalog the name was double

[Nerys]

Anyone know this? They sold lots of sets of smaller papers.
Their paper catalog was thin narrow looked a bit vintage. I started online in 2004 when DD started school and think was like 2 yrs later discovered scrapbooking by chance online.
Name was double or a few words or a short phrase, not sure?

Yes, that is it PaperWishes. Went to site to see.Thank you.

Also see HOTP/ Hot Of The Press anyone remember their lace papers?

[kazeka]

I was wondering if it was Websters Pages, but I see you already got an answer. Yes, I remember HOTP! I have some of the old lace papers in a booklet of vintage/florals. Haven't ever used them and they're still in the booklet!

Do you mean a photo of the booklet of floral and lace papers? I did find one of them, and it looks like it has 2 laser cut lace edged sheets, some lace patterned, and floral sheets. I thought that I had a booklet of more lace papers as well, but they may just have been lace patterned, and not the actual lace cut.
The name of the booklet is Paper Pizazz, Romantic Papers. It is by Hot of the Press. The papers were 8 1/2 x 11 and it's really old! It says 1997 on the inside cover. I doubt you can find it anymore.
I bought a lot of these booklets back when I first started scrapbooking and the papers were text weight, not card stock weight. Still have a lot of them and am trying to use them for cardmaking now. The patterns are often outdated, so I use those to make envelopes, with the design inside the envelope.

Isn't it just nuts how we bought those supplies and "saved them for a special project" that never came?! I used to buy multiple packs of papers, grab bags, collections etc, that were a "good deal". When they just sit in drawers and never get used, nothing is a good deal, right/
Pulling a lot of that stuff out and using them. The outdated patterns are great for making envelopes, or small notepads.

I used to buy HOTP/Paper Pizzazz/Paper Wishes products fairly often. The catalog would come in the mail and I would make a big list. When I had to cut back $$$ they were the first to go but I do miss looking at the million products in the catalog! Their patterned paper is too lightweight, IMO, but it would work for card layers.

I think maybe upstairs I have an old catalog somewhere in my other bookcase there.
Have not been upstairs since weeks due to now and then dizzy spells so avoiding stairs.
With OA used to do stairs just once a day, now not even that. When the dizzy has gone will go try search for it.
I got online 2004 when DD started school found beads soon after and the scrapbooking think 2 or 3 years from there. Tried getting into SB thrice then gave up.
Return to cardmaking. Junk journals since a few years to use up stash leftovers. And then got thinking about those early days and the shops back then. A lot are gone but there are a lot of new to me brands.

Yes, all the HOTP papers that i bought back then were thin. That was what was available, so it didn't bother me. However, it feels too thin now and I usually end up adhering it to card stock, even for layering. When I look at my early cards, I am surprised at how flimsy they seem. I used 65 lb card stock and it seemed just fine at the time. Once I went to a heavier weight of 110 lb, the 65 seems good only for layering. And yet, commercially made cards are often thin, and it doesn't seem to be a problem for people. Funny how you get used to things.
