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.
