Review on Paper Wishes 12 Double-Sided Paper Pack Collection: Versatile Crafting Papers for Inspiration and Creativity in Scrapbooking, Cardmaking, and DIY Projects by Dawn Fischer

This is the first time I've bought paper from Hot off the Press so I don't know if it's normal or not, but the paper I received has a strong smell and not moldy or musty but very bad . I suspect it is due to the ink used. I took it out of the house and put it in my separate garage to see if the smell would dissipate over time. If not, I'll send it back. I like the design, quite colorful and just like the picture. What was also strange was that the pages were stapled together, not like in a notebook, but as if they were so out of print and just couldn't be cut. They separated easily, but there were rough edges on the other side that would have to be cropped if I wanted to use the entire page as a background. Therefore, I cannot recommend this newspaper in its current form. Very disappointing. Update 7/11/20: After leaving this paper in the garage for a few days the smell is almost gone so I'm happy about that and am adding a star to my rating. If you don't mind all the fuss before you can use this paper like I said the drawings are cute and colorful.
