I sort of had a wish of mine granted this year and wanted to scrap the story. These papers were perfect, especially since some of them have titles already on them that come in handy ("Once Upon A Time", "There Lived A Hansome Prince", etc.). I thought they would be hard to work with since they are so beautiful and full of detail, so I bought the matching mat stack and embellishment pack to go along with them and it has made it much easier to cut, tear, and paste the papers.
