I was just looking through my stash of BG collections and WOW I still think Urban Prairie & Marrakech are tie for my top favorites. Just adore those colors and designs.
What are yours? |

I am not familiar with all of their collections, but I really like the Basics collection. I still have a few pages of the papers in my stash and I save it for "special" pages. It's so versatile. I actually would buy more of the paper if I saw it somewhere!
I also have the Wisteria collection pack in my stash, partially used. I like that one a lot, but I think I like Basics better. | |

I'm a BG fanatic from way back and have probably 20-30 lines. I'm more a fan of the Old School stuff but I can't pick just one. Even just 3 is hard but I'll do it, LOL!
1. Motifica
2. Urban Prairie
3. Black Tie |

I used Motifica to scrap some Rome photos and it was sooo perfect. I've been hoarding Black Tie forever but I'm getting ready to use it for my long-overdue wedding album. It's so classy and timeless.
Would love to see your project if you took pics! |

Too funny----I was just going through all of my BG collections tonight and I loved Porcelain and Sultry. My favorite collections definitely came from around the Stella ruby/Urban Couture years. I haven't liked the newer collections for two or three years now. |

Basic Grey is one of my fave paper lines of all time- I just got a super generous RAK from a fellow pea Mary or SuperiorPea - and she gave me a bunch of BG pp- I love the line named after ice cream- 2 scoops maybe? |
After a five year break, I'm back baby!!! Now help Bellies get her Groove back....  | |

Peas! Apparently nobody in the U S of A, as in you guys who brought us Scrapbooking, loved Periphery? Must have been dumped on us third-worlders, for which I can only say thanks!
I love that range, still have quite a bit of it, all bought from a shop which I think has closed. Neutral but classy backgrounds, wish I had more "Chardonnay".  | |

I love me some Basic Grey! I am still hoarding some scraps of Lollipop Shoppe. How's that for a blast from the past?!  I have a little of Motifica left and of course Black Tie.
My most recent favorites were Serendipity and Shine. Perfect for summer photos. PB&J works well with it too.
I switch out Christmas lines in my album. More times than not I use a BG line. Last year was Nordic Holiday and this year is Aspen Frost. |

Oh Baby Boy was so versatile, I used it all up and have only tiny scraps left. Same for Marrakech and Periphery.
Much preferred their older lines.

Sublime and Motifica made me fall in love with BasicGrey patterns. Their early association with K&Co to create the embossed Sublime paper patterns and dimensional stickers ..... swoon.
I can't think that there wasn't an "early years" line that I didn't love --- new, creative, energetic patterns ... but all easily use-able in all sorts of style of scrapbooking.
Black Tie, Fresh and Funky, wonderful, wonderful patterns and colors!
Then they changed.
I haven't purchased much, if any, BasicGrey in Y E A R S ... really years. | |

They were my favorite manu for so long, and I still love them. I have/have had and used nearly all their collections since Sublime. I don't even think I could narrow it down into a top 5! Here are some of my favorites:
-Black Tie
-Eva
-Sultry
-Urban Couture
-Urban Prairie
-Fact and Fiction
-Indian Summer
-Mellow
-Marrakech
-Ambrosia
-Origins
I used Motifica to scrap Rome pictures, too, @journey fan! I can only think of one BG line that they've ever put out that I didn't like and didn't buy anything from, the rest have been great. I really like the new lines that are coming out, too. |

It is hard to pick just one,but here goes:
1. Vagabond--would love to get some more of this. It is classic--goes with anything.
2. Skate Shoppe--would love to have more of this
3. Indian Summer--would definitely love to have more of this
4. Motifica
5. Black Tie--I have been hoarding some of this for years
6. Scarlet's Letter
Now that I think about it,there really are very few lines I DIDN'T like! LOL!
