I love Anna-Maria's style and she's always using white backgrounds. I have been so busy buying new collections and I just realized I don't think I even own plain white cardstock! ( I am a newbie which is why I don't have any

I think American Crafts has the best CS. It is textured and I love that!

I like Bazzill CS. I like that they have different shades of white (Lily, Eggshell, Chantilly, Lace, etc). And they have different textures.

My favorite is the orange peel texture from Bazzill/KI Memories.
Lily White is my next fav.

I LOVE Bazzill's white OP(orange peel) texture. It's one of the things I would want if stranded on a desert island...

Good question! I wish the store here would carry Bazzill in bulk.

Bazzill is what I use... but only because I haven't been able to find AC anywhere (and I live in Canada so shipping 12x12 packages of cardstock can get pricey). HOWEVER... I did come across a couple of packages of AC cardstock at a local home accessories store (Homesense) recently, used it last night to make a few cuts with my Cameo and TOTALLY LOVE it. It cuts so smoothly... wish Ms would carry it...

I used to use Bazzill when I first started scrapping, and it was great, but I use all AC cardstock now. I really love it.

I love the CTMH white daisy smooth cardstock. It cuts really well in my Cricut too. Every once in awhile I place an order with CTMH and order a couple packs of it. I use it for journaling blocks on my layouts too so I tend to go through a lot.

Another vote for American Crafts. I love it and use their white. I use the texture kind so not that great to journal on but I like the weight of it and that if it bends a bit you can't tell like you can with flat paper.

not to hi-jack, but who's Anna Marie? I love white backgrounds and could use some inspiration.
