The vintage look is huge in paper crafting right now. That’s why I love Busy Scrapper Vintage, a new book of papers from Hot Off The Press. These papers are so beautiful, and I love the colors and patterns that are included in this book!

As a busy mom, I don’t have time to spend matching different papers, so I look for products that are grouped together for me. Busy Scrapper Vintage not only puts the papers together in coordinated groups for me but it also includes the matching art. It features gorgeous patterned papers in 4 color groups plus made-to-match cut-outs and alphabet tiles. I can quickly create titles, journaling and accents on my pages that will coordinate perfectly. My favorite pieces are the ribbon slides and paper clips (these are clips made from paper that look great around a picture)!

With Busy Scrapper Vintage, finding matching 3-D embellishments isn’t a problem. Vintage Embellish-Abilities™ is the perfect embellishment kit for Busy Scrapper Vintage. The brads, buttons, ribbons and flowers add dimension and texture to my pages and coordinate perfectly with the papers. There’s no guesswork in wondering if my embellishments will match or carrying a piece of paper around the store trying to match colors, with these two products I know the colors will match perfectly!

I love the versatility of these papers. After finishing a page, I use all my scraps for cards and other paper crafts. Nothing is thrown away. I love that these papers work for so many different projects. Many of the pages have a worn or inked-looking edge that gives them the distressed look. They’re perfect for heritage pictures, but they are fresh enough for any occasion photos. I adore the fact that the edges of these papers look inked and sanded without me having to do the work!
