\nHello, fellow Crafters! When I was scrapbooking as a beginner, the first time I walked down the paper aisles of Hobby Lobby and Michaels, I felt so overwhelmed by all the papers.  There are several rows of papers that seem to be the same colors but the prices per page are so different.  Why do different brands cost a different price?  Usually, it is because of what we call GSM.  (grams per square meter)  Quality and Thickness of the paper. Today, I am comparing CrafTangles scrapbook paper<\/a> to other brands that I own from the USA.  As a design team member for CrafTangels this year, they generously sent me samples of all their colors.  I will post photos below so that you can see all the shades they offer.  But how do we compare this brand and other brands of scrapbook cardstock?  When do you use each brand?  I’ll give you some examples.<\/p>\n
