    OK.. Two things I look for: 1. Ability to fit into an album! Not bulky.. 2. Not overbearing.. I like clean, simple, gorgeous - I'm about the photos and accenting them - not overpowering them!!!

  13. I look for how easy it is to mix the paper with other paperlines. However typically, I buy brands, some brands, it really doesn't matter, I love it all

  14. The first thing that catches my eye is the color/design and then probably the name. I do love collections when they come with lots of goodies like Fancy Pants shown on your video, really liked the video by the way! Next I am always thrilled when a line I luv includes page layouts and card kits. The Basic Grey ones are always high quality.

  26. Great collection of some of the new papers. What catches my eye is vibrant color, bold contrast, I love vintage with a twist of modern for personality. With the trnd in more pastel soft collections I still tend to add black, white, brown or grey to make the colors pop.
