QOTD - Solid or Print

[Sheana]

Do you use more solid or print papers?

I love prints - or woodgrain. Almost all of my layouts either have a printed or woodgrain background. I struggle when I try to use plain papers.

Solids. I think I buck the trend. I do use patterned papers, but my natural tendency is toward the solid colours so my photos aren't overwhelmed.

Both! But I almost always use a solid or wood grain paper for my background. Maybe a subtle, small scale pattern if I want to step outside my box. I love patterned papers in smaller doses, but my layouts look too busy if I use them for my background. (My gallery probably shows more patterned backgrounds than I really use, since I sometimes make an effort to use patterns more in CT pages. But if you include all the unposted layouts that I just do for myself and my family, my backgrounds are overwhelmingly solid.)

I tend to use woodgrains or calmer papers for backgrounds but I love patterned paper everywhere else!

I almost always use patterned papers on my pages.

I do both. I just take the paper I like best or the one that matches the best with the photos I'm using. I really like tone on tone background papers. They're my favorite.

Patterned mostly for me, even if it's a subtle one.

I'm pretty sure I'm 50/50 on this..... I like prints, but not super busy ones (I like woodgrains, small dots, small stripes with only 2 colors etc), but I also use a solid black or white a LOT!

I think I use mostly solids or woodgrains as vackgeounds, but I love patterns on my papers.

I tend to fill my pockets with PP.

I think I'm a mix, it depends on the photo(s) and what I am scrapping about.

Probably prints. I used to only use solids, but now I try to stick with solids for areas that I'm going to journal. In a year, that might change as I'm always changing my scrapping style!

Love a great pattern paper!
