Jane Anne's Reviews

I love bright happy colors for my pages and this paper by Glitz Design totally fits my criteria. Careful cutting around these dancing flowers allows them to lay happily over photos that are placed in the bright blue sky! So many delightful ways to use this paper! Have fun!

I love the term 'eye candy' and these colorful 'bling' flowers are delicious!! They are thick with self adhesive backs and add so much to a page. You. Will. Love. Them.

Eye Candy is such an appropriate title for these glittery and fun chipboard stickers with rhinestones. I just love the spice they add to a page! Totally LOVE that they are self-adhesive and the paper backing comes off so easily!!
You won't be sorry!

These tiny "pin-like" FLAIR are a fun addition to any page. It helps to emphasize the them for your page in a fun yet unobtusive way. Just a darling little touch to any corner that needs a voice.

I have turned to this pad of paper repeatedly for use on my grandson's pages. The bright colors and patterns offer the exact mood I am looking for pages of these active, fun-loving little boys!

These grungeboard letters are the perfect addition to my pages as I can ink, paint, chalk, or whatever, to make them match my pages. I love the different size choices of each letter per page, especially the large size. This material has a slight smell to it, that I enjoy, but might be irritating to some.

I absolutely love all the cute critters running across the pages of Jack's World Collection. I used the entire collection to make a first year album for my newest grandson with blank pages for his momma to fill in!

These beautiful large gromlets are perfect for so many pages. I've used them on summer pages and winter pages and birthday pages! They add just the right touch for a collage arrangement!

These stickers are so great for boy pages. I used them for my grandson's first year album and they worked great from birth pages to that first birthday.

These chipboard pieces have sticky backs and the most darling designs for my children's pages. Especially love the SO tweet bird and still waiting for that perfect page to use that adorable baby fox!

Dick and Jane were a huge part of my childhood and I was thrilled to find these chipboard buttons. I used the image of the house on a page about my son and his fiance and it was just the perfect touch for the collage of their lives together.

I adore self adhesive chipboard and this collection is fabulous. The colors and images fit so many of my layout designs that I was able to use them on an engagement layout and a baby layout! The only issue I had was that the large swirl was bent but it didn't appear too bad on my page after all!

While I LOVE these Alphas, I was a bit frustrated punching them out with the backing intact. I like to place my letters on my page before I secure them in their final place and without the backing coming along with the letter it is difficult to do this. With some careful punching I was able to do it, but felt that the letters needed to be punched more thoroughly.

I loved being able to color this paper for my layout!
I didn't love the thinness of the paper however. I had to mount it onto a sturdier cardstock to be able to slip it easily into my scrapbook.

You will Twirl, Flitter, Bloom, Blossom, Grow and tell all your Twitter friends about these rub-ons, because the absolute must in a rubon is that it will come off the paper cleanly and evenly with gentle rubs and this one does! I loved how easily it adhered to my photo and all the delicate detail showed through.

RUN and Click on these in the superstore right now!
You NEED these fun colorful, crazy COOL shapes.
They punch out perfectly from the background paper so you can lay them on your layout to see where they go before releasing the adhesive. I LOVE that!!
The crazy gooney bird with the rolling eyes was the first chipboard I used from that collection as it fit my Family Photo layout perfectly!!

I LOVE these colorful papers!
I was able to use them on a fun family vacation page as well as on one a bit more subdued and reflective. Don't believe me? Well, check out my gallery. Lime Rickey Rules!

Sometimes you need some large funky alphabet stickers for a title or maybe just the first letter of a title, like I did in my Kite layout. If you do, look no further than these fun stickers from Bo Bunny. They were just the thing for my page and they went perfectly with another manufacturer's paper.

An all around [no pun intended] perfect paper when you need color and a non distracting pattern. Basic Grey seems to get it right just about every time and this paper has become one of my favorites!

Quilters who Scrapbook, like me, will LOVE this collection. These papers will fit many of my photos as gifts I give for special occasions are quilts! My new favorite Basic Grey papers! I'd love to see them in fabric now!

I DO love these cardstock stickers and they look awesome on my page, but it was quite tricky getting that large floral stem off the page and placed just right. The big flower is actually in pieces so you have to reassemble it to look like the photo. It was worth it tho' albeit a bit frustrating!

These stickers have unique designs and colors for a not so typical cookbook. I love the swirls and earthy down home cooking color combos for a one of a kind cookbook. The category stickers are perfect for identifying the dividers in a themed cookbook.

This new collection from Basic Grey is perfect for making a cookbook. The charming papers have a nostalgic feel to them. I love this unique collection and its classic designs!

OH! The beauty of this fall collection! If you look forward to the autumn of the year and the glorious color of leaves, look to this collection to enhance those fall pages. Just gorgeous color that will adapt itself to many types of layouts.

Loved the cute factor they added to my cookbook pages. I had to add a glue dot to the bottom to keep them from swinging as the brad is at the top.

THese papers just say LOVE. I used them for wedding photos and they were perfect. The diectus are especially fun as are all the great sayings that come with the kit.

I would highly recommend ANY prima self adhesive crystals bling!
Seriously, they add SO MUCH to a page and are beyond EASY to adhere!
Love, love, love them, and it's about time I wrote a review to say so!!

How do you resist a paper collection with names like jelly beans, pulled taffy, gum drops, candy hearts, lollipop, peanut brittle, gummy bears, jawbreakers, and licorice, just to name a few. My mouth is watering just typing the names!

Basic Grey’s new Sugar Rush collection with the candy names and romantic love themed papers is perfect for engagement, valentine type pages and even little girl layouts. I think this is my favorite Basic Grey collection and I can say that because, I own them all!

While I adore these darling monster felties and have used the long legged blue one and the red and white hat one, the other ones seem more like Halloween to me. I also had to use additional glue dots on the legs of the blue one so that they would stay put when I slipped the page into the album!
EDITED TO ADD: I ended up using the "halloween" ones on a mother's day page layout and they worked perfectly!

I love these cards. You can use the numbered ones to journal the ages of your children in years or even months, like I did. My favorite one is the two monsters that were perfect for a 1+1=2 photo of my husband and our grandson.

While the side of this paper that is featured is nice and colorful, it is the other side that I truly LOVE! The Lineup of MOnsters standing on each other's heads is delightful. To the left of them is lined paper for journaling, or you can cut off the Lineup and use it as a border, which is what I did.
These monsters are cute!!

These stickers have many uses. Not only are there wild and crazy monsters to showcase a corner of your page, but the stars and hearts and clouds will work with many different themes!
Love these stickers!

Red is a color I use often on my pages, so I was thrilled with these letters.
They are also the perfect size, not too small, not too large!
The monsters in the center of the letters are an added bonus of cuteness!

The images are beyond cute and the chipboard is, as usual, thick and sturdy. It coordinates beautifully with the Max and Whiskers paper!

Not only is this paper adorable for the Pets theme, but the patterns are similar to many quilting blocks and would be perfect for those special quilt related pages!

These journaling tags have added just the right touch of whimsy to my sparse style of journaling. I used almost the whole lineup on the side of one of my pages to journaling favorite eating spots on our vacation.
Have fun with these!

I love the added texture and extra punch of sweetness that these stitched brads give to a layout. This particular collection has many uses aside from the darling pets that are featured.

Well, sometimes you CAN have too many because when you need the right one, they don't always match. Do yourself a favor and add these to the cart when you buy the Max and Whiskers collection. They match perfectly and are just the right size!

I'm pretty sure I own every Basic Grey collection and I have the most pages done with this collection! No kidding! It has worked with so many themes that I was constantly surprised when they turned out to be my Go-To papers. You will not be disappointed in this collection!

No wedding layout can be complete without some Prima Crystals Bling somewhere in the album............seriously! They are so easy to adhere too. If you roll it a bit off the end at a time and adhere it to the page and keep pulling the back off as you go, it attaches like a dream!!

Oh my! Get these white fairytale roses right now! They are the perfect size and can be altered in any way at all to match anything!

My daughter's wedding invitations are going to be made from these papers! They are the perfect compliment to her color scheme and we are so happy to have found them!
