Heidi and Jan (and anyone else who may need some glossy CS)---I did see Tim Hotlz's glossy CS that Heidi spoke of---and it's on clearance right now for 50% off at Michaels.  I decided to wait bc I still the couple sheets Jan RAK me and I have a package of glossy CS from Ranger I bought a couple years ago---glad to know the Ranger is like the Tim Holtz ones. 

Good idea to check Office Max etc Jan!  Next time I'm in there, I'll look just for fun.

The photo paper I've used is the HP 4 x 6 stuff that came with my printer and that I ended up getting free with ink cartridges.  I've got a ton of the stuff, so I figured that it would be a good way to use it instead of buying more glossy cardstock.  I included a couple of pieces I did with AI on the photo paper in October's kit: Link.

Thanks Sarah the info on the HP paper!  It may help someone who is still trying to find some glossy card stock.

That's the same photo paper I used for the recent AI challenges here.  HP glossy photo paper in the 4 x 6 size.  It works fine except do NOT use your heat gun on it, the heat gun makes the top of the paper crack.  But it dries and is not sticky.

Thanks for letting us know the brand names that worked out using photo paper.  I think I have HP....I'll have to look.  I know when stamping and coloring with dye inks, I liked how some photo papers looked and responded than others---but at that time I didn't pay attention to the brand names...wished I had now.

OOOoooo. I want the 'Countryside' set!

When I shopped there was only the one set available, "Mariner" . I like it, but they are a bit dark.
