I don't really know to be honest, as I have always stuck to only a few companies- graphic 45, Simple Stories, Bo Bunny, MME mostly. I do have a pad of paper from DCWV, it's a fairytale theme and I can't see me ever using it- it's so pretty and sparkly, the kind of paper that you don't want to cover up!

For me it's Webster's Pages and October Afternoon.

Basic Grey, Crate Paper, October Afternoon.  I just don't like the dark look of the creams.  I run quickly in the opposite direction if I see Maggie Holmes' name on anything.  I also LOVE Authentique and have a bit of it in my stash, but have only used it a couple of times.

I have a hard time with Graphic 45 and sometimes with Basic Grey and Echo Park.. I usually can make 1 or 2 layouts that I love with their lines and then I am stuck

Basic Grey is my first love.  The last two years there are only a couple of lines I have wanted to work with.  One in this release....that makes me sad!  I still love and have some of Scarlet Letter.  LOL....don't want to use it because it is so pretty.  Cappella was the perfect line to go with the age of my wedding dress, great-grandmother's.  I have got to finish up my wedding album this year!

G45 is my second favorite....I hoard it like crazy.  My first layout using G45 was terribly hard.  Now it's only hard because the art work is so GORGEOUS!  Mother Goose is hard....but my Grandmother so loved quoting Mother Goose when I was young and again with my children I had to have it.  I think it is the images of Humpty Dumpty in the line....will not use those.  Once I make that first cut on a layout everything just flows so easily.  Reminds me I have to call my aunt this morning to see if I can get a digital copy of my uncle in his UNC Football Uniform.  He played for the Tarheels 1949-1952.  Good 'Ole Sport is PERFECT!

Maggie Holmes, Amy Tangerine, and Glitz were hard but again it's the design of the papers that just pulls me in.  Love how 'out there' the lines are.

Hard for me is pastels, so Prima hits the top of that list except for Craftsman.....I was ALL OVER THAT LINE!!!  Fit my husband and son PERFECTLY!!!!

I have never liked overly cute....drives me nuts thus Doodle Bug is hard.  I have one set of Transparencies from them otherwise I have this "ICK" stuff flowing.  I did though like Imaginisce but the cute got in the way and decided I needed to force myself to use it.  That first time was the hard....but now I can flow through it.

Other hard lines:  Reminisce, Moxie (and darn James purchased some for me this Christmas....a wedding line that I have no idea why!  Not even a girlfriend in sight at the moment) and K&Company (I can use their embellishments).

What's funny to me is that I always like the bright and vibrant colors of Kelly Purkey.  It's really hard to see her working with BG of all companies because of the style BG is.  Her line doesn't feel as 'her' as the stuff she has on SSS.

Basic Grey and Graphic 45

Lately....Graphic 45. It was my favorite company a few years ago but lately I have no photos to go with their collections. I mostly use them for altered projects or cards now. They have great paper but I haven't used them in a layout for a long time.

Graphic 45 for sure.   I still have some papers from when they first came onto the scene that I haven't used.   Guess I should probably purge those.
