The paper and ephemera/sticker or chipboard that Spellbinders is using in their July card kit. I can't figure it out but there were soo many Tropical themed summer lines this year. July Card kit |

I agree with the previous posters: this kit looks like it's full of exclusives. I would've remembered seeing pattern papers like these! The closest in terms of overall vibe and design aesthetic would be Les Ateliers de Karine's RDV Au Soleil line. But I'm guessing the import cost for those pattern papers wouldn't be worth it and you'd be better off buying the Card Kit if you're a US resident. |

To me it looks very very close/similar to the My mind's eye Palm Beach collection that was released earlier this year I believe. The MME seems to have brighter colors and foiled elements. Palm trees, flamingos, leaves, pineapples are part of the design, no Tucans though. I hope this helps and sorry about my english! www.scrapbook.com/store/collection-brand/palm+beach-my+minds+eye.html |

Thanks for the reply's. I was wondering if it was exclusive product but thought there are only a couple of ephemera pieces so it must be from a collection. Oh well!

It reminds me of the graphics you can buy from The Hungry Jpeg.

This post is amazing because I did not know there were things like this in France (because I apparently am small minded) and I am amused by the phrases that are half English and half French and wonder what that is all about! |

Haha, who'd have imagined France isn't a scrap-free jungle, right? Just tigers wearing bérets and buying baguettes from the boulangerie elephants. And then there's the one okapi trying to smuggle in scrapbook supplies from the US although the borders are being guarded by a gang of attentive silverbacks.  "Life is sweet en vacances." Teehee, I know this must seem very strange to native English speakers. But in countries where 90% of the scrap supplies being sold are exclusively in English, a sort of bilingual system naturally takes form. Most of the French lines offer French sayings but they threw in some English here and there. Mostly the "usual" suspects AKA cliché scrap phrases. I guess it offers some cohesion between their collections and the US lines? It allows for mixing of papers and embellishments withou there being a purely French side opposite the American scrap supplies. You'll see similar things happening in other European scrap countries where national designers and/or brands try to put some native tongue product on the market like Germany, the Netherlands, Spain.  Here's some more Franglish to amuse you. (there are sooo many more examples though) "Keep calm et profite de la vie." "Feel good tout simplement." "Cent pour cent green attitude."   |
