And another thing!
LOL! I am just full of blog posts today.
An important update!!!
As I re-read my post, I got to thinking about this and I just wanted to clarify something that you probably already know.
Jody used Papertrey card stock as her comparison. (That's a little tough because I consider Nichole Heady my close friend and I love the quality of her products.) I wanted you to know that I LOVE Papertrey card stock. Their white is beautiful and bright and their colors are to die for. Plus, with their matching ribbon and ink, it's a no brainer- right?
The main difference between the two card stocks are that ours is has a smoother texture. So it doesn't really make one better than the other, just different for different uses. Jody was comparing super-duper smooth to smooth and just used another one of her favorites, (Papertrey,) to make the comparison.
Since the two card stocks are so drastically different, I think there is plenty of room for both in your stamp room. I know I have both in mine!
Hugs,
Gina K.

Great comments! I think that every paper has it's plus and minus features. There's room in the stamp room for everyone if not physically then in spirit!

I'm open to every new item available to me, not everyone uses the copics, so different paper for different folks, I will try some of yours too....

Hi Gina,
I am glad you clarified the two products. I love Papertrey Ink's white cs but I also plan on trying yours and I am sure I will love yours too. All cardstock is different!

I have never tried any of this paper but just the name of it makes me want to have it and try it out!

Gina K,
My first comment ever, something keeps me from trying to win the awsome prizes! I just wanted to tell you that I think you are one classy lady to send out your statement regarding the 2 different cardstocks. Nichole certainly has a great friend in you. I will certainly be trying both papers. "A Day in the Life" and "Paper Trey Ink" are 2 of the the best websites on the net.. Keep up the incredible work/fun!! Alot of us out there depend on you two...Thanks a bunch, Sandy M.

This comment just shows what an awesome person you are... you rock! I am wondering if you can do watercoloring on your Pure Luxury cardstock without the cardstock warping?

This is what I love about this community - the wonderful people are so supportive of each other, even when it comes to "business" stuff. You just don't see that everywhere! You're awesome!!

Gina, I agree with you. I bought your new 120 lb. paper and did my own comparison earlier this week. I use PaperTrey Ink's paper. I use Copics and then I shade over that with Prismacolor pencils. I found that PTI's paper works better for this. Or I liked it better! I do think that your paper is great for just Copics alone. I like a little tooth to my paper when using pencils. I did try the Copics on your paper and Prismacolor pencils over that and I thought there was not enough tooth. It worked okay, but I like PTI's when using the technique I use. You are right though, there is absolutely room for BOTH your paper and Nicole's!

Absolutely room for both! You are such a sweet heart!
