I do very little wp but will be giving it a try with the new paper.

I really like the purple pages.

I haven't yet. I am mostly using the shortcuts of them. The paper is really pretty but I thought I might try it on a couple of pages. I don't wp either.

A co-worker and I were both pretty un-excited about perfect fit, as we don't wallpaper. Well, we love the paper! DOn't really intend to wallpaper, but the paper is great. Really like teh 12" deco file too! NMade very nicely, will lold regular paper, pf, and scraps/shortcuts in a very nice easy-to find manner.

Co-worker has officially named it her new favorite! Just love teh designs and colors!

Oh yes I have the accessory binder to hold my packs of the 10x12 paper and I am going to swith and put them all in this new deco file. I love the little compartment in front for all the scraps and such!

I quess because I wallpaper all the time, that I am not as excited. But am really thinking about getting a few just to see how I like the quality.

Now I have to find the time when the girls don't want to "help" me get it all organized.

I too love the smaller pocket to put all the scraps in it.

I went to a crop on Sunday & she had some there. I love their colors; it's nice to have everything already coordinated for you. I'm having a little trouble with the price. 10 sheets for $8 - when I can get really pretty papers at JoAnns for 5 sheets for $1 on sale. For me it would be a 'once in a while' purchase as I wallpaper all the time too.

What surprised me (and I'm not sure I liked it) was that their paper is "thinner" other papers. Because their stance had been 'wallpaper makes your book too heavy' they decided to make the paper thin so it wouldn't add too much weight to the pages....at least that's what my CMC said.

She didn't have any loose paper for us to feel so I'm not sure how "thin" it is. She had a few pages done with the new paper in one of her books & it's gorgeous. I'd be interested in hearing a few more opinions on it.

While it is thinner, it is by no means overly thin (if that makes any sense). It did not really feel that much thinner to me.

As for cost, the short cut lines on the back probably add a bit. The big difference I would imagine, though is that all of CMs papers are buffered. I think it's 5% calcium carbonate. I do not know if other papers have that. This will keep and acidic items from turning the background paper acidic and traveling through to youur photos. If you're workign with CM pages, you should not have to worry about that, though as the pages are already buffered. Just my $0.02.

I never wall paper but I did with the new CM blue paper it was GREAT for the N.E. Aquarium page I did. I also love the purple pack, my son's favorite color is purple (he is 3) so he will love purple pages in his book.

I love the thinner paper. Its not that much thinner than any other 12x12 but thinner then the normal 10x12 they put out.

The shortcuts on the back are a big sell for me as I love that idea and I also love the colors.
