Pure White Paper

[GlazeFamily3]

I have a lot of "white" paper... but when I add it to my layouts, they all seem to really be more of a very light gray. I am looking for true white paper with some texture or something to add interest. I have gone through well over twenty sheets of "white" paper and don't seem to have a single one that isn't looking gray on the page.

Is it your monitor calibration? And not the paper?

I don't think so. I always start my layouts as 12x12 with a white background and THAT looks white.

The whites I use are usually Fancy Whites, but they do have some color to them.

Yeah, I have those. I ended up just using a Mommyish Paper Texture Style and it worked really well. I just have to remember it next time!

Glad you found something to work for you!!

I was going to suggest Mommyish's paper textures, those are just fabulous.

@jenn mccabe which pack of PRD's paper has the stitching and I want to say a little bit of a torn/crumplieness to it?

I also have the same problem as I have been looking for a white that has the yellow instead of grey tinge to it. What texture did you end up using as I'd be interested too?

I used Stylin' 239 by Mommyish. My favorite is called paper Ib.

And if you happen to find some that aren't grey tinted, please let me know!

Thanks for the links! I had the crazy idea to scrap ALL of my 2018 pages (the ones that take place in 2018 & not just anything I create this year) with white backgrounds so I need new ones to add to my stash.

@jenn mccabe YAS!!!! I don't what my deal was yesterday, but I couldn't find them, but I knew you would LOL!!

And depending on your software, but you can mess with levels or curves to help make those pages more "white" and less gray or brown. I've done that a few times when mixing white papers and/or journal cards from different designers.
