Default Slab VI?

Is the SLAB VI the most current one out? I think the last one I purchased was SLAB IV and swore I'd never buy another pack but the SLAB VI that I'm seeing looks really cute! *SIGH* Is it available only at Michael's and LSS's? (I'm talking about retail stores, not online stores)
What are your thoughts on the SLAB patterned paper? Patterned paper is my weakness. I love them and looking at them but I don't use them much. I'm moving in less than a week so I don't NEED these at the moment but I'll have to look for them at a Michael's in Huntsville, Alabama!

I have bought slabs III and IV, and I really like the retro but fresh feel of Rob 'n' Bob's Slab VI. I have held off on buying VI because with the other two slabs and all the other patterned paper I have, I would have waaayyyy too much to ever use if I got another Slab at the moment. I would rather enjoy what I have instead of stress about the money and storage space, not to mention trying to use more patterned paper so I don't feel bad about the purchase. Also, I would much rather have the second pack of solid coordinating cardstock ProvoCraft has released. If you can't get over the Slab VI, maybe consider picking up some Rob 'n' Bob patterned paper individually, or some other paper with that same cool retro feel that won't add so much bulk to your supply. Based on my experience with the Slab III, I can guarantee you if you pick up every slab that catches your eye, you will be stuck with hundreds of sheets of maybe a little dated paper patterns that were never quite your style to begin with but you had to have at the time, kwim?

hth!

IMO, I LOVE the slab 6 and with the Michael's 40% off coupon, even if you don't use it all, you've still got a great deal on what you will use. If you have paper that you are not using, don't feel guilty...donate it or swap it for something you will use.

I haven't bought ANY slabs because I usually only like a few of the pages, but this one I LOVE! I got it at Michael's with the 50% off coupon a couple weeks ago. $9.99 is a GREAT deal!

I bought it and love it. I also used the Michaels 50% off coupon. The pages that aren't my 'style' I donate to my daughters preschool class.... they always need paper.

I have 4 and 6, I think. I have so much right now I dont know what to do with all of it. I don't think I will buy more anytime soon since I don't find it coordinates with my su inks and papers very well.
