There's a couple of papers I don't mind across these collections, but overall nothing I absolutely have to have. Mintay remains one of those brands that I find difficult to work with even though they have beautiful designs.

ITA- they tend to be very busy patterns.
I wonder who still uses chipboard shapes as well

I like some of the back sides of these papers. I love the weight. My LSS usually gets Mintay as open stock, and there are a couple of sheets I am hoping to pick up to use with my existing stash. None of these chippies appealed to me, but I have bought some of their previously released ones which were a bit more generic.

Okay,,, All those Rustic Charms papers Must. Come. Home. With. ME! And I will of course need the DOILY stencil to come with them. And although I don't have much use for pink scrappy materials, I love the Dreamland collection for all its dark blues and starry skies. I wonder who still uses chipboard shapes as well Mintay chippies are very thin and flexible, so work really well with pages or cards without adding bulk and rigidity. I really want the BBQ ones for summer scrapping. |

I don’t really need a whole collection to document my lilac bushes, but Lilac Garden does appeal to me.

I really want the BBQ ones for summer scrapping. I missed these when I first looked...I would actually get a lot of use out of these! I don’t really need a whole collection to document my lilac bushes, but Lilac Garden does appeal to me. My favourite paper in this line is the woodgrain on paper 4. I think it would be really nice with 49 & Market Viken. I love lilacs, and now that you mention this, I think I am going to have to stage a photo during lilac season so I use up more of Viken and have an excuse to buy this sheet of paper. |

I like the Coastal Memories.....die cuts and fussy cut elements paper.
Everything else is a no for me.

I agree with camcas and also find Mintay papers too busy for me to work however I am loving their 6x8 paper pads. I am not a card maker so never really looked at these closely but the patterns are much more basic woodgrain / brick / knit. Makes them really easy to use for layering. |

Mintay remains one of those brands that I find difficult to work with even though they have beautiful designs. I love to look at them, but they can be challenging. I did a layout tonight with the paper (Great Outdoors) and when I stay away from the really large icons on the paper, I enjoy it. My local scrapbook store owner loves Mintay, so I get to see a lot of it in person. |

Mintay is really my last weakness in scrapbooking supplies. Everything is just so PRETTY. But I have such a hard time figuring out how to use it. Coastal Memories will be making its way to me no doubt but I think I'll pass on the others.

Lilac Gardens is nice but I don’t know if I’d use it. The papers and embellishments are very pretty but like others have said it would be a challenge to work them into a layout or even a card.

They are not my style, although I have purchased some of their Christmas papers that are just gorgeous.
I do like the steampunk stencil, but it's more than I care to pay.

Definitely beautiful papers but I can't see me using them with my photos (maybe some of the basic B-sides). I do like several of the stencils but their a little pricey. Thanks for showing us PaperAngel. |

I really like the Coastal Memories paper elements, paper die-cuts and paper stickers. I could see picking up some of the papers for the B-sides. Overall it's a gorgeous collection!

... I wonder who still uses chipboard shapes as well Per past threads, the Mintay Chippies seem to be a popular product. I prefer flat layouts, so rarely use chipboard - only printed, never unfinished/plain. |
