I cannot begin to tell you how
disappointed I am with my local scrapbooking store. I was out this past weekend looking for
Christmas paper stacks so I could start on my Christmas cards. I didn’t think it was too early to look
seeing as how I see new stacks on the internet and am getting emails from www.blitzy.com and www.scrapbook.com with Christmas stacks
advertised. My problem is I wanted to
see them in person. I wanted to see the
colors up-close. I wanted to feel the
paper. You know what I mean. I also wanted to be able to start my cards
right away. No such luck.
I looked at the old Christmas
stack I used last year and I just didn’t want to face it again. After 50 or more cards the paper gets old
fast. I just couldn’t stomach it again
this year.
Last night I scoured blitzy and a
couple other sites. I ended up on
scrapbook.com where I did end up ordering four Christmas stacks of 6x6 that I
think will work well with the cards I want to make. They are also paper brands that I have never
used before. I’m not worried. I am curious to see what this paper will be
like. Will it feel ok? Will it work for what I need it for? Will the colors be vibrant? I took a chance and there’s no turning
back.
Hopefully I will have the paper by
the end of the week. Once it gets here, let
the carding begin!
