I'm running out of my table protection grid paper that is sold by SU. I don't want to place an SU order when that is the only item I need (just too much shipping cost). Any other brands out there? Maybe something on Amazon. My feeble search attempt wasn't helpful! I don't want to spend hours searching, when I could just ask all you lovely people!
Staples - 50 sheets no ruler - $13.49 - no shipping if you got it in store.
Believe me - I've looked because I go through hundreds of these per month at my classes and I've never found anything that was a better bargain or had measurements - which I use - not sure if you find that useful.
I'll be interested to see if anyone has any ideas!
Know any builders or other tradesmen?
My brother in law gives me big pads of gridded paper that are given to him from suppliers .. okay so they have got advertising on them but it's not as though I care!

Won't somebody think of the paint chips?
I do want the measurements because I use them. And I do need it to be paper because I stamp off on the sheets for second gen as well as other stamping techniques, trying colors, cleaning etc. I'll wait and see if there are a few more ideas, otherwise I guess I will order from SU. Thanks for the tips so far.
If you're ordering from SU!, ask your demonstrator to hold your order til she has enough orders to make the shipping cost 10% rather than the $6.95 minimum. Or gather orders from some friends and make a party yourself. Sale-A-Bration makes more enticing through the end of the month.
I wouldn't want to pay $7 to ship an $11 item, either!
If you had a laminated one, for the grid, you could use any old recycled paper to stamp off, right? or even cheap computer paper.

Great point. Just wanted to add that covering the grid paper with wax paper also works (I don't have a laminator). Since the back wouldn't be entirely covered with wax paper, that side could be used for stamping off, sponging, etc.

I use a craft mat to stamp off, blob glue, blend colors etc. and I'm free to mess as it's so easy to clean! Jennifer McGuire covered her self-healing mat with the grid lines with a craft mat, and the way she attached it (non perm glue I'm thinking) you can see the lines and ruler right through it. I'm thinking of trying that myself.

Do you happen to have a link to that post that shows how she did it?

I don't think she filmed that --she just mentioned it in one of her technique videos. You can see it in her more recent videos from time to time. Next time I see it, I'll leave a comment and ask her!
Yes, the SU paper is the best price and has the centering and regular ruler. I'm still on my first pack after 5+ years and have an extra old pack with the blank side.
Do you actually use the grid? Or just want an oversized piece of paper? When I have done projects at work, we have used computer paper. I think that is what it is called. It is bigger than Legal paper and the largest size that will fit in our copier.
Grid paper (other than SU)
