I like some of the Vicki Boutin collection.
A lot of the stickers, thickers, embellishments, etc... appear to be really small. Not sure if I will order or not, because I am not a fan of small.
I love some of the papers.

I like both but probably won’t buy either. I’m sure many will make fun things from the Vicki b stuff but I just never do. All of her things are so similar and my stash is full of it unused so I’m passing until I see all the cool projects everyone else makes.

Per usual, I love Vicki's collection! From what I can tell, her collections have the most SKUs of products and that makes it fun to mix & match from her collection. Tons of die cuts, 3 sets of Thickers, an album, puffy stickers, stamps, stencils... her collections have it all! I will probably end up buying most of it.
I like the enamel dots, ephemera, and a few of the papers from All the Cake. It's a tad juvenile for a lot of the birthday party photos I have.

not adding to my wishlist atm - I don't really care for the Pebbles collection - I like VB but her stuff is hard for me to use.

I have been waiting for this Vicki B collection to come out, and it did not disappoint. I really like it. I think the line will mix well with other things in my stash, and a lot of the papers will make really great backgrounds.

Vicki is definitely on the list, and probably the Pebbles too

Like the Vicki overall, feels generic and usable. OVER THE MOON excited that there is a new mixed media background pad. I have loved using the past pads, and this one is a little less bright. The only thing I don't like in the collection is the alpha thicker set - I can create that look from my own extensive stash of thicker  Not a huge fan of the Pebbles TBH. |

Like the Discover and Create, may order some of it. The Pebbles is cute, but I don't scrap birthdays, so not on my list.

Love the blues in the VB collection. Like kitbop, I am excited to see another mixed media background pad-- perfect jumping off point for endless pages. But unlike you, kitbop, I LOVE those thickers! The Pebbles line has way too much pink for me. |

Oh, Vicki B, what lovely paper you made. I am going to take a closer look at this collection for sure, I really like the color scheme. I will probably pick up a few things from it.
I have never been big on party lines. Pebbles is a pass for me.
Thanks for sharing again!

I want tons of the Vicki Boutin line. I'll definitely buy two of the Thicker letter sets. Yep, I know- incredibly expensive. But I love the fonts and I like to have two sets when the fonts or colors are varied. It gives me a lot more options.
I like a few of the papers in the Pebbles line and again, I'm loving the Thicker letters.
I'm really happy with these two releases.

OVER THE MOON excited that there is a new mixed media background pad. Is that the “Discover + Create Background 12x12 Pad” ? I’m looking on my phone, so I may be missing something, but is there anywhere to see more than just that one page in the preview? |

I always love VB’s thicker phrases, so I will likely be picking those up, and probably the mixed media background pad (once I see more of it).

Love Vicki's collection like usual! Especially the papers! But paper is my weakness. I think the color scheme is great. Blues and oranges with a touch of other colors. Just a little powder pink.
For those who often are looking for collections with no pink and no theme, this would be great!

Loving most of the new VB D&C collection.
Just about the only thing I like about the other one is the matte enamel dots.

I’m the cheese standing alone in these ones!
I don’t care for the VB at all. Though I’ll probably end up with a little if it’s at JoAnn’s for 5/$1 or whatever that steel of a sale is they do.
Love some of that Pebbles paper. Absolutely adore rainbow grids and there’s one plaid there that I swear looks just like some drawer liner paper I had in my dresser when I was little. I don’t necessarily like the birthday elements, but the patterns and colors are so fun.

I'm not a fan of that super creamy base on the Pebbles line, and the other colours are not really my thing (and I still have a decent stash of the recent-ish SS birthday line to use up) so this one is a pretty easy pass.
I find VB's lines very hit or miss, but there a few pieces I will likely pick up from this one. I love her phrase thickers and will almost certainly grab those and I like quite a few of the b-sides.

The pebbles collection is cute but I don't scrap too many birthday/party themed pictures.
I like the VB line (as always!!) but I have so so so much of her stuff that I need to take a pass.

I like quite a few of the pp-s in Vicki Boutin's collection and the alphas in "All the Cake". Thanks PaperAngel. |

Looks no different than what she's already got out there. I think I've reached the end of the Vicki Boutin "love" train. It's a pass for me.

I love Vicki's Line. It does remind me of print shop which I didn't order because I didn't have the scrappy budget at the time for that one but I will buy this one for sure. Love all the blue/orange colours in it.

I’m all over Vicki’s new collection! Love the colours. I’ve been passing on some of her lines as I can’t have it all nor would I be able to use it all but this collection is a must. I’ll be ordering through the class kit. Our local stores don’t carry her papers.

I'll definitely get some of Vicki's. Pebbles has a few accent papers that I could use in small doses but together it's a lot for the eye.

Looks no different than what she's already got out there. I think I've reached the end of the Vicki Boutin "love" train. I so get what you are saying! I have this feeling with Paige Evans - I've loved it, purchased it, and *not used it so why would I buy it again*? Same with cocoa vanilla. Vicki lines I have used lots of her lines, so can "justify" buying more because I will use it again. (that's a relative statement. I still have too much but...) I actually don't need scrapbook lines to be "100% new" - I wish some scrapbook lines were always available like cardstock! |

Thanks for your responses. I'm not the target audience of American Crafts pattern paper collections. While I especially dislike the cheap acrylic stamp sets, ink cubes, & (blinding) neon/highlighter yellow in the color palettes, the beautiful Azure Blue glaze is added to my wish list. |

Thanks for posting this! I just picked scrapbooking back up about a year ago, and Vicki Boutin is one of the only new designers I've found whose products I really liked. I preordered the album kit, 6x8 paper pad, and the paperie pack, which appeals to me because it's got both paper embellishments and washi stickers - nice to have a mix of things in the same pack.
