That's a bit better than paying $10 for 100 sheets.

Every 'blue moon,' JoAnns will have a heckuva sale when you can get'em at &1.99 each & shipping (on sale,too) at $1.99 per order. Needless to say I ordered 20 pads. If there are any more 'nuggets' out there, please share. . . . GP

I have both cds which has all sizes including 1/8 in increments. I go to the dollar store, I can endure some cutting to save money. If nothing else, go to Michaels and buy one of those paper cutters that cuts several sheets at once. It won't take too long to recoupe you cost for it by buying the $ store paper.

Second the dollar store doodle pads. The paper is thick and pulpy - gives you the foundation and cracks right off. Love Triangulations, but I also use the angle ruler when doing scrappy hst.
