Kathryn Johnston became the first girl to play Little League baseball in 1950, when she tucked her hair under her hat, adopted the nickname “Tubby”, and joined the Kings Dairy team, posing as a boy. When she told her coach she was a girl, he said “That’s O.K., you’re a darned good player.”

that's a tough one as i've gotten away from buying PP as I have way too many stockpiled. I tend to go for simple ones that are classic now. but for a while i was collecting anything boy themed. Basic gray, simple stories, my minds eye are all in my collection among many others. Papertrey Ink and lawnfawn put out some great simple background papers. are you going to launch a paper smooches line?!

Doodlebug is my favorite, but Echo Park is a close second!

ReplyDeleteI like all of them but especially Echo Park.
ReplyDeleteEcho Park Paper is my favorite!

But really, I love them all!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite papers are made by Lawn Fawn. I also like Echo Park and Doodlebug.

It's a toss up between Echo Park and Doodlebug!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite pattern paper used to be Basic Grey. I miss that company. Now I am liking Lawn Fawn quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite paper was also Basic Grey. So sad they stopped making paper. I also really like K & Co.
ReplyDeleteI love Pebbles, Crate Paper, and Echo Park. (Just to name a few!) Thank you for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteQuite honestly, I would have to go with Lawn Fawn as I LOVE plaids and the colours they always come up with are perfection, IMHO! (However, I have to add that I DO have MANY other companies well represented in my paper collection!)
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim for a chance to win some PS products, I have a running wish list ready & waiting. LOL)
Echo park, simple stories and Bo Bunny' s polka dots...
ReplyDeleteI'm a tried and true DCWV paper girl. For a long time, it was the only brand that I would buy! LOL. I always find styles and patterns that are "me" with this company. However, I do still have other favorite companies like Echo Park, Graphic 45, MAMBI, and My Mind's Eye. There are some great, must-have-designs from all of the companies in the industry.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge My Mind's Eye fan. I like Crate paper too.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of DCWV paper packs,
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I would have to say I love Papertrey Ink's PP line.
ReplyDeleteGina K is also a favorite, Recollections paper pads has been my latest PP obsession.
Hard to choose just one but I will go with My Mind's Eye.
ReplyDeleteMmm... It's an hard choice because there are so many! My favorite brands for patterned papers are Echo Park, Simple Stories, Bo Bunny and Lawn Fawn!
ReplyDeleteI am such a fan of all 6 x 6 pads because it helps me in my teaching. The designs and colors are perfect together. Gina K Designs has a very wonderful quality to her pads.

ReplyDeleteOh my...my favorite? Yikes. It depends on my mood...Authentique when I'm feeling like a grown up...doodle bug when I'm feeling cute...... Simple stories.... I really do love them all and I'm not picky..... Anything that makes me smile when I look at it...
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Thanks for the chance to win! I like to pair papers from Doodlebug Design with my Paper Smooches projects. I've also loved the plaid mini-packs from Lawn Fawn.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Melanie and I'm a paper-holic Lol! Whether it be patterned paper, wrapping paper or tissue paper, I'm an addict! The first step is admitting it right? Haha. I'm a big fan of 6x6 paper pads and My Mind's Eye & Lawn Fawn are my current faves but Stampin' Up always has some great patterns available too!♥
ReplyDeleteI do love paper. LOL Echo Park has patterned paper I really like. Lawn Fawn's smaller prints are great for cards also.
ReplyDeleteA favorite PP company is today's (tricky) question, let's try to answer it. First, a disclaimer, I harbor an unhealthy affinity for pattern paper, which means I have to fight the impulse to acquire PP. Have been loving the 6x6 size recently, including Penny Black, American Crafts, MME, Crate Paper, among others. Curiously enough, I just came across "Playful" by Becky Higgins for Project Life, and I am loving it. Cannot wait to play with some of my favorite stamps including PS's Great Chemistry. BTW Kim,any chance to have a female scientist stamp in the near future? Cheers.
ReplyDeletePatterned paper favorite is Graphic 45......BUT I LOVE THEM ALL!!! That's why I have a bookshelf FULL of pads of patterned paper and more in plastic carrying cases. lol....
