So, that’s our list of 5 CM collections you can pair with the Textile collection… Comment below and tell us what products you plan to combine your Textures Paper Packs with!
Wow, I wasn’t even aware of the Stone and Cloth paper packs! They look so awesome. :-)
I love looking at the layout examples and thinking about the possibilities. <3
So many possibilities with this collection!
Are the cloth and stone papers a/f&l/f.
Yes, they are acid free and Lignin free. They are straight from CM!
Correct! They are both acid-free, lignin-free.
I love seeing some layouts with 4 photos. One of the comments I consistently hear from customers who subscribe to the Blog is there are too complicated layouts and not enough pictures. Could you post more for those who want something simple that enhances 4-6 photos per page? Do love these paper combinations, though!
Glad you like the ideas! We try to provide posts that accommodate a variety of skill levels, but we will take this feedback into consideration!
Nice! Love the new paper! But I agree, I’d rather see more simple layouts that don’t use up so much paper. I like to make my paper last longer. And yes, that show 4-6 photos per page!
Thanks for the feedback! We try to provide a variety of posts that will accommodate all of our audience.
some nice page possibilities for guy pages.
Definitely!
