Leslie says, "The Classics is one of my FAVORITE new releases from American Crafts. The bright, vivid, bold, enticing colors of the papers and embellishments are so vibrant, they suck you right in (like a GREAT novel), not to mention, make a statement all their own. My layout of my daughter (Savannah) came together so quickly using The Classics line. I’m pretty sure it’s because this line matches her sweet, vibrant, loving, carefree personality perfectly! My card was also created very quickly thanks to this beautiful line."

Pooi says, “I used a sepia tone photo as the main focus and it blended very well with The Classics paper which features the bold colours of green, red, and cream. The sophisticated patterns on The Classics papers are very appealing. I simply love the inspirational phrases from the MiniMarks sheet and Remarks stickers.”
