Old phone book pages?

I use lightweight translucent vellum 17#. Most vellum you find in the scrapbooking aisle is too thick. I found a paper store online and bought a ream of it when it was on sale. It goes through the ink jet printer and very easy to tear away without all the bits and pieces.

i buy the dirt-cheap doodle pads for kids. they are made from blank newsprint.
the only drawback is that they are a bit bigger than standard letter size paper so i have to trim the excess before i run them through my printer.

i like luvspaper's idea of buying it by the ream, though. if you can find it, i'll bet it's less expensive that way. :thumbup:

I have aquired many rolls of exam table paper. It is perfect! I have more than I can use. I can send a roll. There is some water damage on one end (that's how I got them) but I cut it as I need it.

For those of you who actually pay for newsprint, go get it from your local newspaper for FREE. Just walk in and ask for their end rolls.

Not necessarily so. Where I used to live only the Scouts got it almost free. Every one else had to pay $$$.

I bought a lot of 25% rag vellum on sale from Office Depot online. Free shipping even because I ordered so much. It is just right.
