Thanks for such a great blog! I love to see all of your new creations and sketch challenges. My favorite designer paper right now is the prints series. I also love Cutie Pie, but for some reason, I’ve had a hard time incorporating that one into my cards. I guess I’ll just have to keep working on it.

Entry #3

Hi there. I love your blog, you always have such great cards! I’m not too familiar with SU designer paper but what I’ve seen looks cute. My favorite would have to be Basic Grey. Most of the lines go so well together I don’t have to worry about matching everything up. Thanks for all the inspiration,
Darcy

Entry #4

Love the Cutie Pie paper. It is so happy!! Hard to look at and not smile.

Entry #5

Wow, thanks for sharing. Almost 500,000 hits-that’s amazing. I love the new Outlaw paper because the colors are lend themselves to so many different things. I’ve used it for sympathy cards, birthday, and even decorated my classroom with it. (Hope my students like it just as much!)

Entry #6

Congratulations on your blog milestone! I really like the Basic Grey papers, although it this is not an easy choice. I have learned so much from your blog…thank you!

Entry #7

Hi Beate! I love your blog. Right now I love the outlaw paper. I’m actually re-doing my bedroom in those colors!

Entry #8

Do we have to pick just one???? LOL! Right now, my favorite is the new Apple Cider from SU! I just love it!

Thanks for all the great inspiration on your blog!

Entry #9

I LOVE desgner papers, especially anything by Basic Grey. One of my new favorites here recently is Grandpa’s Attic by SEI. They’re easy to work with!

Entry #10

I don’t think I could just pick one favorite! I pretty much love anything that is double sided. It is just so versatile!

Thanks for all of your daily inspiration!!

Entry #11

Hi I love your blog you have so many neat ideas. By favorite Su pattern paper right now is outlaw, such a cool paper!

Entry #12

Hi Beate,

I have a lot of favorites, but the only one I have ordered so far is Fall Flowers. I can’t wait to use it with my new Garden Whimsy stamp set! Thanks for all of your inspiration - it is truly appreciated!

Entry #13

I don’t know that I have a favorite paper. I LOVE funky patterns, wild colors and stripes! I don’t know what I would do without stripes! Thanks for the giveaway. Keep up the great work, Beate.

Entry #14

500,000 — that’s impressive! How generous you are to even think of parting with these gems!

I loved the SU! Recollections papers, and was so sad when they retired… Although it’s an entirely different color scheme, Cutie Pie is on its way to becoming my new favorite! So fun! Thanks!

Entry #15

Well, I don’t know any of the papers “official” names but I do really like the graphic ones. I enjoy checking your blog for inspiration - thanks for all of your hard work!

Entry #16

How fun all the paper looks in your picture!!! Hmmm… I love so many of the new prints but I’d have to lean to the warm fall colored ones - Outlaw, Fall Flowers, Apple Cider. Thank you for having such a wonderful blog that always inspires me.
Sandy D.

Entry #17

It is hard for me to pick a specific paper that I like — I am a true paper junkie! When I am feeling down, patterned paper actually makes me feel better — is that weird or what???? Anyway — from last year I loved the Dots and Dashes paper (SU) I have used almost all of it and the Cutie Pie in this year’s is just too cute. I am a sucker for the Halloween paper, although I usually don’t do much with it!

Congrats on the hits — love your blog and check it daily!

Entry #18

My favorite paper today would be Porcelain Prints and Wintergreen…I sure it will be different tomorrow!!!

Thanks for a fun contest!!

Lori

Entry #19

Congrats Beate! I’ve just recently discovered your blog and it is quickly one of my favs. I can’t afford any of the designer papers right now, so I’d say in general my favourite paper are striped or polka dots. Although lately I’m loving toile reproductions.

Entry #20

You have a wonderful Blog, and I just don’t get here often enough!!! I love all of the new DP’s, especially some of the new ones I spot on SCS and somehow missed in the book — LOL!!! I love any and all DP, but right now I am so enjoying the new Textured 12 x 12 cardstock — not really a DP, but my current favorite paper!!! Actually, I came here looking for your sketch challenge — now off to find it!!!

Entry #21

Hmmmm… my favourite pp at the time is probably the new BG Mellow right now, but I am going to be ordering the new SU Cutie Pie pp soon!! YUMMY!!!

Entry #22

I LOVE the colors in Outlaw; such wonderful rich colors. Can’t wait to place my order to get some.

Entry #23

WOW! 500,000!!!?!?! That’s amazing!!

My favorite DP ever had to be the Spring Showers/Flowers, but right now, I *think* I’m in love with the Prints DP, in pretty much all of the colors. I say *think* because I haven’t actually received my first SU! order of the catty year yet!

Entry #24

I still love Recollections! I bought 3 pkgs of it and it is almost all gone. I will confess to loving Stella Ruby (GASP! Non-SU!!?!?!?!) too…

Nancy

Entry #25

I would have to say the Cutie Pie paper.. Love it!!

Entry #26

I love the new cutie pie paper, is is so bright and fun!!
It is definately going to be on my next order!!

Congratulations on all the hits on your blog..you rock!

Entry #27

I love the fresh, clean look of Cutie Pie…but it changes every few days!

Entry #28

Beate…
Although I really like SU papers, Cutie Pie for sure, I have to say I love most papers by K&Company because those are the ones I started with first.
Congrats on 500,000 hits, a number hard to imagine!

Entry #29

Beate,
THose papers are delish!!! Fav DP is a hard one….SU!’s Fall Flowers and Prints DP, MME -Magnolia, and American Crafts…these are the ones I have been playing with lately. I’m really not partial to any DP, whatever I like I get and try not to hoard it!
Thanks for the goodies!

Entry #30

I love the SU outlaw paper, but am also in love with a lot of the American Crafts designer paper. The Tres Jolie line is so fun, too!

Hope I win…I love, love, love paper!!

Linzi

Entry #31

There are several that I love…Outlaw, Cutie Pie, and Dashing!

Entry #32

I must admit I really don’t have SU designer paper, but from what I have seen on various blogs I have fallen in love with the Outlaw paper and it is on my wish list.

Entry #33

WOW! Your blog is rockin’! It’s chalk full of great inspiration! I love to visit it daily(usually MANY times)! You are a wonderful, helpful, fantastic person who is sooooooooo nice!
My favourite paper is the Print Series BUT I haven’t yet recieved the Cutie Pie Paper. I’m sure THAT will be my new fave!!
Have a GREAT day!
Dawn
Entry #34

Wow!!! Congratulations on almost 500K hits!!! I’s going to have a really hard time picking just one of the patterned papers, but if I had to choose one, I would choose Cutie Pie. I just love the colors. Once again, congratulations and here’s to the next 500K!!!!

Patti

Entry #35

Hi Beate,

I just recently found your blog and I have already been so inspired by your work! It is like a free papercrafting magazine of the best ideas! My favorite paper is Fall Flowers, but Outlaw would have to be a close second. I haven’t ordered any yet, but they are on my birthday list!

Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Michelle

Entry #36

Hi Beate,

Congratulations!! You are an awesome designer and seem to be an equally awesome person - I love to look at your designs.

I generally don’t bother buying or making much Halloween things but I absolutely loved the retro look of the new SU Creepy Crawly Halloween paper.

Take care,

Alison

Entry #37

Beate, you are one talented person. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us. I can’t decide on a favorite paper…I love them all. I guess I would choose “cutie pie” for now!

Entry #38

Oooh! There’s no way I could pick just ONE paper! I just LOVE all the new SU! papers, and recently found Basic Grey. If I had to pick just one, today, it would be Wintergreen!

What I wouldn’t give for a box of papers! Thanks for a great candy offer, and congrats on the hits!

Entry #39

So proud of you for reaching such an incredibly high blog stat. You truly have a rockin’ blog site, and I appreciate all the things you post. Continue to bring inspiration to us all!

If I had to choose a fav paper, it would have to be “Prints DSP” due to the color choices offered and the assortment of different styles all in one package….really think SU! did good with this one!

Have a great day Beate! Also, thanks for your comments regarding my cards/creations….I blush when I read your comments.

Entry #40

Mmmm, paper lover here! {raising hand} My favorite is probably the new prints ds paper in all the diff colors. Simple and nice looking.

Entry #41

I love a lot of different DSP papers from SU! But I really love the Cutie Pie and Primary Colors. It’s too hard to decide between the two!

Entry #42

Wow great giveaway. My favorite paper right now is Cutie Pie.

Entry #43

Oh my gosh… what a great haul! I think my VERY favorite DP is the retired Sassy… the flower one. I used it on my daughter’s birth announcements, and now I have one small square left that I can’t seem to part with!

Entry #44

First of all..congrats on your 500K hits almost! This is a fun blog and I check it several times a day..you are in my Google Reader.

I am falling in deep like with big time scrap booking again, after a 3 year break due to card making!!!

My favorite line of paper though right now probably Basic Grey, although I have a stack of K&C Company that is awesome.

Entry #57

I have your website on my Google Reader to get all the updates!
I like Brocade Background.

My fave Stampin Up paper is cutie pie. But I confess to being a big Basic Grey and Doodlebug lover! Congrats on all your hits!

Entry #61

I love the Outlaw paper. Totally perfect for those western cards. & I love your blog, your work is amazing.

I’ve not had the opportunity to purchase any SU dp but I love Basic Grey AND My Mind’s Eye. They are both so fun.

Entry #75

I have several favourites in the new SU line, but with Christmas just around the corner, I like the new Dashing line. Perhaps
its the dots I am drawn to as my blogsite is called dittydots.

Entry #76

Congratulations Beate! Well done. I too am a lover of paper and I especially like the brocades and now the Outlaw papers for their versatility to any theme. Great shades and patterns, I think.

Cheers!

Entry #77

Wow! 500,00 hits…that’s fantastic, Beate! I know I love reading your blog for hints and inspiration.

My favorite patterned paper is whatever is new at the moment I really like the Brocade SU paper right now. But a favorite “oldie” is the Basic Grey “Fruitcake” Christmas line. So many ways to use it.

Entry #78

Beate,
I love reading your blog because you are so inspirational. Thanks for sharing your creativity. I only recently became a fan of the designer paper. My new love is the new Apple Cider paper

Entry #79

Entry #85

Hi Beate, I’m wavering between several papers - but really like the Outlaw right now - don’t ask me next week because it will probably be something else!!! That’s such a neat idea to clean out your paper by offering it to others!

Entry #86

I am new to the blog world but absolutely love yours, Beate. Congratulations on 500,000 hits. You have such wonderful ideas that I would love to be able to copy if I just had the time. My favorite paper is the retired Four Seasons, I loved doing things with that. I was so sad to see it go.

Entry #87

My favorite right now is Creepy Crawly, but maybe that’s because I’m in a fall frame of mind. I love seeing everything you’ve done with the new papers!

Entry #88

My favorite right now would be Outlaw. I love the colors. You can never have too much paper! Thanks for a chance.

Entry #89

Entry #103

Entry #105

Congrats on all those hits, I can only dream and imagine getting those many hits. I would have to say that my fav. paper would have to be Crate paper or Basic Grey paper :)!

I like all of the Prints Designer Series papers best right now. I see several colors I’d like to have!! I really like the tone-on-tone look for backgrounds.

Entry #114

I just can’t get over all the new papers, but my favoite has to be Le Jardin. The colors are so lovely together, and the catalog canno do it justice. I have built a card class just around tht package!

Entry #118

Congrats on the success of your blog! Its really hard to choose a favorite, since I love all the new papers SU comes out with in each new mini, but I think I’d have to choose the Outlaw paper. You can make it look distressed, fun, hip, funky. I’m having fun with my package right now, and I need to order more.

Entry #119

Thanks for the great ideas on your blog!

Entry #121

UM….ALL OF IT!!! LOL! Seriously though I don’t think I’ve met much patterned paper that I don’t like:) Favs do mostly come from companies like Basic Grey, American Crafts, KI, and I have TOO MANY Of the SU Designer Papers that I love to even start mentioning here…I think you get the idea:)

my favorite depends on the day! there are just so many variables: cycle of the moon, weather, project, whether i’m sleep deprived or not, how much laundry i need to do, how muck ruckus the kids make….well you get the point! let’s just say that right at this particular moment, with a 6yo going into 1st grade, i’m in a cutie pie stage!
great candy.
even greater blog, thanks for all the inspiration

Entry #155

I love your blog and read it daily! I don’t have any SU paper - don’t have a demonstrator either! But I love that Cutie Pie paper everyone has been using. My favorite paper that I do have is Stella Ruby by Basic Grey.

Entry #156

Outlaw is my fav. With all boys in my house (even the dog!) you never know what’s going to happen next. Thanks for all your inspirations and ideas. SU! should pay you a salary for all you sell for them from your blog and SCS.

Entry #157

I don’t really use a lot of patterened paper, but I am starting to get into it. So far, I think my favourite is Creepy Crawly because I love hallowe’en.

Entry #158

I LOVE the new Apple Cider from Stampin’ Up. I can’t wait to get my hands on some. Love your blog! Thanks for the fun blog candy.

Entry #159

Hi Beate! Congrats on the hits! I love doing your sketch challenges! My favorite paper right now is anything Basic Grey!

Entry #160

New Prints Design Paper in the Old Olive. Love this color. Goes with all my other faves: soft pastel colors, like pink, blue, etc. Also looks great with browns and other greens.

Entry #161

Congratulations Beate! You are so talented, you deserve all the success and support you receive…..and then some!

My favorite DP was and is (until I see some of the new catty DP in person!) Au Chocolate……so beautiful!

Entry #162

The only new SU dp I have is linen prints and i LOVE it. It’s been easy to incorporate into cards too. My favorite non SU dp is probably Basic Grey (I just find myself reaching for it alot). I am thinking that I’ll have to order some more SU dp and fal flowers and cutie pie are at the top of my list.

Entry #163

Congrats on your milestone!!!!! I would have to say that my favorite patterened paper (today….lol!) is cutie pie! I can’t thank you enough for your inspiration here! Keep up the good, no wonderful, work!

Entry #164

I love the Cutie Pie paper. I just love the colors and the style of it!

Entry #165

Love Your BLOG! You have very cute cards!
My favorite paper is the cutie pie paper! I love the colors…I love all the papers! but that one is my favorite right now!

Love your blog. My favorite SU paper right now is Cutie Pie.

Right now I’m loving all of the print pattern papers - in EVERY color!! Every time I use them I love them more. I wish we had them in all of the colors! I love the cutie pie paper too, but seem to have a hard time creating anything I really like with it.

Entry #170

Hi Beate!
You are just too much! Congratulations on 500,000!!!

-ginna

Entry #175

Only one??? Who can pick only one??? LOL
My favorite papers are Cutie Pie, Dashing, and Secret Garden. But *all* paper has a special place in my heart.

Entry #176

Fun stuff!!!! I love pattern paper — love the K&Co by Amy Butler — it’s so bright and modern. I just got my SU! catalog so still oogling the new DP papers. Can’t wait to order some!

Entry #177

I’m not very familiar with SU! papers, but “Fall Flowers” is really cute, I think it’s not new though

Entry #178

It’s so hard to pick just one!!! I love “fall flowers”!
Melissa

Entry #179

That is a very tough question since I like so many right now. I would have to say that Dashing and Fall Flowers are my two favorite right at the moment. I liked using Flowers for You for my dd’s birthday party and the prints designer series of paper is great too. It took me a while to warm up to the designer papers but now I love to use them.

Entry #180

Thanks for sharing your site - I just love the Creepy Crawly paper

Liz

Entry #181

Great blog candy, Beate! My new favorite designer paper is Fall Flowers.

Entry #182

What fun blog candy… and what a hard question! My favorite is Recollections. It’s timeless to me. Love the colors of it, too.

Entry #183

Just one?! I’ll have to go with the Prints designer series…love the designs and cannot wait to get some (soon). I am undecided between the Blue bayou and Soft Sky color though.

P.S. Thank you for posting every day (or nearly so). I’ve recently gone from “Blogs Huh???” to a blogging junkie. It’s not a happy day when there is nothing new to look at

Entry #184

Wow!! That is a hard question, cause I love them all. But if I must pick one then I will have to go with Le Jardin, the colors are beautiful and the design I just love it.

Thanks for doing this.

Melissa

Entry #185

There was a scrappin’ kit out last year, I can’t remember if it was the hostess one or the SAB one… but it had some really wonderful patterened CS. It just made me happy to look at it! (what a goof!) LOL

Currently I’m luvin’ the new Porcelain Prints designer paper. It caught my eye on my very first pass through the new catty and has stayed on my wish list so I finally ordered it and it arrived yesterday. It’s even better IRL. It’s not my usual style but there is something about the colors along with the patterns that I just like SO much. I’m hoping to use it on some altered projects soon.

Congrats on your wonderful blog success!!! (and to whomever wins the awesome paper candy!)

Entry #186

Hi Beate! Congrats on 500K! I have 2 favs right now, I love Dashing and Wintergreen. I guess I am preparing myself for Christmas cards, but I just love these papers. Although Le Jardin and Fall Flowers are also great. Ooooo, and I totally LOVE the fall paper in the new mini. Okay, maybe I have more than two favs.
Thanks for offering the awesome candy!!
Angie

Entry #187

My favorite paper…hmmm let me think…we cannot have enough paper to create!
Can I say “all for one and one for all”
Beate it’s what you come up with everyday on your blog that is my favorite!
Congrats to you on your blog site and your never-ending hits!
…..just love your creativity……you go girl!

Aloha, Adoree

Entry #188

500,000? OMG! You must have by far the most popular blog known to man! LOL!

My favorite is the cutie pie! I just love it for some reason, but that’s the problem. I like it so much I refuse to use it! LOL!

Entry #189

Great candy Beate! My fav right now is Fall Flowers, no cutie pie, no Brocade…well I really just love them all!

Entry #190 ( I think)

Entry #191

My new favorite Stampin’ Up patterned paper is Apple Cider and Poreclain Prints.

Entry #193

I love the cutie pie paper as well. The colors are wonderful. I am excited about the new apple cider paper coming too. Thanks for the great blog!

Entry #194

Hey Beate! Love your blog! I’m hoping Cutie Pie will be my new favorite paper! I’m using Petals & Paisleys the most right now!! Thanks so much for all your tutorials!

Entry #195

I love ALL the designer papers!! How can I pick just one?!?!? I guess I will have to pick Cutie Pie. I love all the colors and variety in this one. It’s just SO cheery!

Entry #196

Wow, what a lot of comments, Beate. Shows you what a popular blog you have. My favorite paper would have to be Basic Grey. It has such neat patterns and colors. I tend to be a paper hoarder tho and need to start using my patterned paper. Thanks for the great giveaway and for sharing your talents with us.

Entry #197

Hi Beate -

I haven’t had a chance to play with any of the new SU! Designer papers but how happy am I that the same Recollections print from the old catalog is in the new catalog? Ecstatic I tell you! Porcelain Prints is the new name. I loved the colors of Recollections - Cranberry Crisp, Chocolate Chip, True Thyme, and Very Vanilla. And, I loved how it matched the Wild Rose stamp set. I’m sure I will love Porcelain Prints just as much as I loved Recollections.

Since I am here leaving a comment, I would love to ask a favor. Many have commented in wonder on how you manage to get so much done in a days time. I, too am curious and was wondering if you could put something on your blog. Is it organization? Routine? FLYlady? Could you write a tutorial? Please share your secrets

Hugs,
Dani

Entry #198

Hi Beate,
Thanks for the fun things you do on your blog site. Stampin’ Up has fabulous designer serie papers in the Fall Winter Collection right now. One of my favorites is Fall Flowers.

Entry #199

It’s amazing that so have that many people looking at your wonderful blog- congratulations!!!
I’m not really sure what my favorite Stampin’ Up! paper is because I’ve never had some (although I would love to :D), but I do really like Scenic Route. All of their stuff is just so pretty!

I love dots, any paper that has dots! It makes me feel so HAPPY!

Entry #203

Your freebies are awesome!

It’s SO hard to pick a favorite. Usually it’s whatever paper I have my hand on at the time. Right now I’m loving the Cutie Pie paper. All those yummy colors! I’m sure it’ll change soon. I’m already feeling some love for Dashing. sigh.

Entry #204

Beate -
I read your blog daily (as do so many others) and find it truly inspirational. Your artwork is amazing! My favorite patterned paper thus far has been a Glitter Stack I bought at Michaels. I only recently started using patterned paper and love it!!

Entry #205

I love, love, love all papers. I am a paper collector for sure!! It is so hard to pick a favorite….but if I had to, I guess it would be the new outlaw designer series bg paper. Oh how I’d love to own all of the new ds bg papers!!! Oh, and I also love your creative work and visit your blog as much as possible!!
Melissa

Entry #206

OUTLAW hands down! Thanks for asking and the contest.

Entry #207

My favorite is hands down outlaw and all the stamps that go with it. This is mostly because I have three little boys that love to play cowboy, so this paper makes endless scrapbook possibilities.

Entry #209

Wow….congrats on all those hits!!!! It’s hard to pick a favorite paper but if I had to, right now it would be Basic Grey. Absolutely love your blog…you are so very, very talented!!!

Entry #238

Well right now I absolutely love the More to Adore set by CTMH. I love what I see from SU but am soo hooked on those acrylic stamps by CTMH that I am finding it hard to buy elsewhere… Although the main reason is lack of funds right now. But maybe sometime soon… Thanks!

Wow, what a nice goodie! My favorite patterned paper is definitely anything Basic Grey!
Entry #266

Thanks for taking the time to keep this blog up because it really is helpful!

Entry #271

I love cutie Pie too… I havent got a catalogue yet so its hard to browse the patterns, but I have seen this used and love it.
Caz

Entry #272

I love everything Basic Gray, but there are so many beautiful papers on the market that I am always overwhelmed when I have to choose. Anyway, because shipping from America or Canada is so expensive I design my own paper, especially when I need 100 or more sheets of the same design to make wedding invitations. You can see one of my designs used for this wedding set: http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2249314350077211612EPiIBR

Entry #273

Entry #284

Beate, all of the SU designer paper is great. It is so hard to pick a favorite. But the one I have been drawn to most often is Petals and Paisley. Thanks for a great blog that is so filled with inspiring samples and information. Fondly, Connie

Entry #285

Congrats on the hits. Not a surprise though. I am loving the new SU monochomatic pallet. All the designs are great in this series.

Entry #286

Sarah

Entry #294

Wow - Congrats! You deserve it - great work. I love paper too so it’s hard to say, but I’ll go with Cutie Pie. Fun, cheery design and colors, plus the five petal punch coordinates!
Thanks

Entry #295

Goodness, I can’t tell you a favorite of mine. I am really hoping to hoard some of the new SU designer papers and well on my way. I sometimes feel like some of my family and their hoarding during the Korean War. But is sure is pretty in their cubbies.

Entry #296

I love so many of the designer papers that SU retired!! The Recollections & Treehouse to name a couple. And I am a fan of some of the Basic Grey, especially their Christmas papers. I would love, love, love to win this prize just to have some more of the old SU papers in my possession (for my collection, lol)
Thanks for the chance.
Ilene B.

Entry #302

Entry #318

Oh, it’s so hard to choose (coming from a DP addict!) My favorites are constantly changing, but right now, I’m hooked on Cutie Pie.

Entry #319

WOW - fabulous candy!! I am currently trying to use up my stash of paper — and am on a self imposed no spending spree — but free is good! I love the Cutie Pie, Basic Grey - just about everything from them, and the list goes on………….

Entry #322

I love coming here for the fantastic ideas you share. My favorite is Cerise. I also like the Prints Designer Series Paper that you can get in many of our colors. Really going to miss our old ones though, we had some great ones.

Entry #323

Love the Outlaw dp. Of course, there are a whole lot of other brands right up there,too.

Entry #324

I can only pick one??? All right (sigh), guess it’ll have to be Apple Cider!! (Yummy!)

Entry #333

I love this blog. I heard talk it from time to time, but so glad I finally found it.
Now this is blog candy I can truly use and enjoy. Still catching up on scrapbooking. When I do pages formyself, I usually do triplet so I can share with my MIL and Mom.

Thanks!!!

Entry #334

Wow, Congrats on so many his! Thats amazing. I love your blog!
My favorite DSP I think would have to be Cutie Pie, although I love most of them :).

Entry #335

My favorite is Outlaw. I love the colors the look and the stamps that go with it!!

Entry #336

Congrats & Thank you for sharing your beautiful work! I LOVE all paper, but my current favorite is the Designer Print Series because it’s so easy to use.

Entry #336

You’ll be at 1 million hits in no time!

Hard to choose just one favorite dp - so I’ll choose two! SU’s Linen Prints and Wintergreen!

Entry #337

Wow, what an amazing give-away! 500,000 is quite a milestone, although I am not at all surprised. You have such a fabulous blog - beautiful designs and helpful resouces!

I love all the new SU papers but I’ll give the #1 spot to Fall Flowers, I think it’s the color combo that does it. Close second would be Outlaw for the rustic patterns.

Thanks to YOU for all you do for us, Beate!

Entry #338

#339

I really love Halloween paper pack that was purple and green and orange… the one that had the black spider web paper. I don’t know what it’s called, but it’s so fun!

Sarah

I think my new fav is outlaw..at least it is this week! lol

Entry #340

my MOSTEST favorite new paper is the CUTIE PIE! it is absolutely lick-a-licous! i’m on my 3rd package! the colors are outrageously vibrant!

Entry #341

My favorite is whatever is newest. I loved the papers last year, until I opened this year’s SU! catalog. I estimated a $200 order just in paper when I looked at that section. In fact… I opened to the paper/scrapbooking kit section before I even looked at the stamps. It’s a beautiful addiction…

Entry #342

Arrgh! Beate! I can’t pick just one! Porcelain Prints, Le Jardin, Outlaw, Fall Flowers, ALL the Prints colours, Dashing, and I love the papers in the Simply Scrappin’ Kits!

Entry #343

Hi Beate! I am such a paper addict I had to join in the fun and comment!

My favorite paper (even though it is retired) is Loves Me. I just love the pink brown and teal color combo! Such a funky and fun paper!

Entry #344

WOW Beate! That’s a lot of hits! But I am not surprised! You are an inspiration to all of us, so we need to see what you are doing!!!!

And my favorite paper is Cutie Pie and the new Halloween one, whose name escapes me during this “senior moment!”

Entry #345

Hi Beate1 Awesome blog candy!!! I love the designer prints papers. I just love that you can get so many colors!

Entry #346

Hi Beate,
Enjoy reading your blog so much. It’s so inspiring!!! Congrats on reaching 500,000!!!
My favorite paper at the moment is the cutie pie paper . . . have been altering mini lunch boxes with it! Too fun.

Thanks,
Michelle

Entry #347

Hi Beate,
Out of the new catty, I love Porcelain Prints, Cutie Pie, and many of the Prints Series (especially the Blue Bayou!) I loved alot of the paper last year as well - I can’t even remember the names. I just have to learn not to be such a hoarder! I’m so proud of myself that I actually just cut into 2 pieces of designer papers to make some swaps! It’s progress!
Thanks for a chance at a great prize!!
Heather L.

Entry #348

I just found your blog. I’m so excited to look around. My favorite paper by far is Cutie Pie Paper.

Kristen

Entry #349

Hi Beate!
My favorite paper is Fall Flowers..gorgeous!!

Entry #350

I think that I am Entry #351. I loved Au Chocolat (so sad it is not in this catty). Now I love Cutie Pie!

I just became a demo in March 2007. I have been so inspired by Beate. I must admit that the first time I heard beate’s name was in an SCS post about how great Beate was. I didn’t know the she was this amazing stamper. (Sorry thought you were a stamping tool) Anyway my favorite paper is Dashing!

Entry #352

my favorite designer paper company is basic grey. i can’t choose a specific line cuz i love them all!

Entry #353

I’m a paper-aholic and so I’m definitely at the right place:) I love the Cutie Pie SU paper but I don’t have any yet. I do have S.E.I.’s Grannies Kitchen and I love that one because the set is in my favorite colors.

Entry #354

I absolutely love the new cider papers in the new mini catalog, they are so great. I just love all kinds of designer papers.

Entry #355

Hi Beate!
I’m thinking my FAVORITE is Outlaw (don’t have yet) and wintergreen which I DO have. I took 3 of the 4 colors and made my current month’s Christmas Card Club card with them. It’s GREAT! Check out my blog and see! Thanks for sharing. I’d LOVE to raid that closet of yours hehehe.

Bobbie *Ü*

Entry #356

My new favorite from Stampin’ Up! is Linen Prints, with Charbon coming in a close second. I also can’t complain about the “recycled” patterns in new colors — I love Wintergreen and Le Jardin! Congratulations on all the mega-hits. I’m not surprised, you are such a stamping treasure!

Entry #357

I really can’t just pick one. I love the Stampin’ up designer paper. Your blog is great….thanks!
Cindy

Entry #358

Cutie Pie is my favorite. I do love it all though and it’s on my wish list. Your blog is awesome!

Entry #359

I hate to admit it, but I haven’t seen the new SU catalog so I don’t know which is my favorite. But I do know that I love the brown patterns that everyone is using for the Western set, so that’s a winner for sure.

Entry #360

colors in the new Outlaw papers are great!

Entry #361

Hi Beate,

Thank you for so generously sharing your creativity and art work on your blog. I visit your website regularly for inspiration. My favorite new SU design papers are the monochromatic prints! I especially like the sky blue and blue bayou.
Marcie

Entry #362

I love the new Designer Prints papers too… I wish I could have them all!
Tracy

Entry #363

My favorite patterned paper is the new cutie pie paper. Of course, my favorite changes weekly depending on what I am using. I haven’t met a SU patterned paper I don’t love!!!
Roberta

Entry #364

I love checking in to see what new creations you’ve come up with. I always feel inspired after I’ve visited. Right now my favorite designer paper is Flowers For You, followed closely by Cutie Pie. It’s hard to choose just one! ~~Vicky

Entry #365

I love Chatterbox and think I have one sheet of every pattern they make.

Entry #366

I’m a paper hoarder!!!! I’m trying really hard to use more patterned paper; unfortunately, I’m one of those that think “it’s too pretty to cut up”. LOL!

I love the new Brocade Background; it’s so elegant and classy!

Entry #367

I love Basic Grey paper and of the Stampin Up papers, I really love Cutie Pie and Darling Doodles. Congrats on reaching 500,000 hits! What a tremendous accomplishment!

Entry #368

Hi Beate,
I love anything two sided. I don’t have tons of it, so it would be nice to win the candy.
Jean

Entry #369

I love your designs, just about all of the new designer series paper and the retired Recollections and Sarah paper. Congrats on reaching 500,000!

Entry #370

Love your blog, congrats on half a million hits - WOW!!!
My fav DP is Recollections - not retired here in Aus thankfully!!

Entry #371

My favorite DP right now is LeJardin. It changes frequently, however, because of all the wonderful samples I see here and on SCS.

Entry #372

I’m so in awe of all your wonderful designs, and wanted to thank you for providing all the hints, tips, and tricks!

As for my favourite patterned paper, it is definitely the Cutie Pie series. Or maybe the Dashing. Or Linen Prints. Heck, do I have to choose just one? LOL

Entry #373

Thanks!
~Lois

Entry #377

My favorite always changes. Right now I am lovin’ SU’s Apple Cider but I always love the Basic Grey line.

Entry #378

Beate love your site and your work my favorite pattern paper that is so hard as I love so many of them but I would have to say if I had to pick one it would probably be basic grey

Entry #389

I love your blog and I love the new cutie pie paper!

Entry #390

Hi, Beate! I absolutely LOVE your blog and everything you do for SCS! You are so talented and I have your blog bookmarked so you’ll always be just a click away! Right now my favorite DSP would have to be Outlaw. It’s so great for guy cards, which I haven’t made too many of because there hasn’t been much to choose from…now I’m using it all the time!

[…] Says: August 14th, 2007 at 10:12 pm eBeate You are a stampin Guru! My fav paper is the wintergreen series. I love the combos! Thanks […]

Speaking of sweets, my favorite patterned paper is Au Chocolate, which is retired now unfortunately. Oh well, I suppose a diet is in order…
