The new lines are starting to be posted (says she who just replied on the frozen thread pledging to be more mindful on the shopping). The full share can be seen on the Crate blog here: Maggie Holmes Flourish

Sorry for the giant images!
This doesn't really appeal to me, I feel like I've seen most of it a gazillion times before from her lines. That said I do quite like the rose gold thickers.

I like the colours, the blues and greens seem more vibrant than usual. I never use trims and frames so I'd pass on them.

I like the gold puffy stickers and maybe the trim

Love this with the exception of the house and ticket papers! Not sure on the wood frames. I bet if you are a subscriber to Hip Kit, you'll end up with this whole line eventually! They love Maggie Holmes!

6x8 paper pad!!!
Don't love the line but that is exciting stuff right there!
ETA- in my excitement about the 6x8, I forgot to mention that rose gold foil vellum. That is very pretty. But everything else is very overwhelming to me.. just to much pattern and too much color. (Says the girl who has been reading A Simplified Life, which might explain some of that)

This seems like more of the same. I wouldn't be upset if it came in a kit, but I'm not going to put it on my must have list.

Underwhelmed and again (like I said on the Dear Lizzy thread) I used to loooooove Maggie Holmes. The papers don't really look usable to me, with the exception of the watercolor brush strokes one. Also, I don't know what it is with embroidered patches lately in scrapbooking. I feel like Studio Calico started it and then Felicity Jane's Christmas kit had them and I was not a fan.
I think they need to get back to what made their lines appealing in the first place. They don't have to reinvent the wheel, just make usable items. Also, I think it is telling that Elizabeth and Maggie don't scrapbook anymore (or if they do, I never see it). They're creating collections without remembering what people using them want.
I want to love their lines so much but I'm just not feeling it.

I like the trim. Most of the paper is too busy for me. I like the patch. I buy patches when we visit National Parks and use them in my Project Life.

I am over the floral print papers that are super hard to use. And houses...again?! Boring. Same ol' same ol'. When is someone going to come out with an awesomely great not themed boy line?  ?? I dont need sports or skateboarding. Just nice boy colored paper, general stickers and embellishments, etc. |

Wow the day has finally come. I am officially over Maggie Holmes products. It's been a gradual slide into purchasing less and less of each collection. Won't be buying any of this line.

I like it - though it is pretty much a repeat of what she has always done. I love the navy though. I will buy most of the collection.

I love it all. I’m a sucker for rose gold too. I’m going to have to exercise restraint to not buy it all.

Not much of a departure from her previous lines, other than adding the deep blue. It's pretty if you like florals. The embroidered patch is interesting. Guess that's a thing now, along with enamel pins. I love the rose gold Thickers, and basically anything rose gold.

I have a hard time using big patterns in scrapping. Is one of those papers paint by numbers?   I fully admit to not being creative and using a sketch or inspiration layout for every page I make. |

not my style - I find those big, busy patterns too hard to use

I like the colors and with a 6x8 pad I'll buy it just to support the size and hope more collections start offering them. I'm sure I'll find uses for the paper even if it's Mother's Day cards

I like the rose gold washi and vellum. Oh, and the birds. For some unknown reason I started liking bird embellishments and accents several months ago. I think I’m going through a phase.

I like bits and pieces. There are a few sheets I will definitely pick up (for some reason, I find ticket papers really useable in embellishment clusters), and I like the royal blue. I will likely pick up the 6x8 paper pad since it's a good size for pocket scrapbooking. I am reserving final judgement until I see what the B sides have to offer.

I like the blue paper, but that's about all - so not for me.

I like some of the floral patterns. I feel like we've seen rows of houses in a lot of collections lately, though . . .

I should like this.
It has elements that I like using, like peacocks, and teal color, and the gold Thicker words.
And the gold leafy trim is almost interesting. I'd like to know if it is gold puffy foam or if it is more like ribbon or fabric. It will lay differently depending on what it's made of.
I don't get the embroidered patch. We could buy a multitude of those at any sewing notions store.
As a whole, I'm not feeling this collection. I sort of want to, but it just doesn't scream, "Buy me!"

I love this, we also have peacocks on our farm so anytime I see peacock stuff I feel the need to buy it!
