They could be from a stock site, you're right. But I would then argue that it's in poor taste to go buy the same commercially license-able design as someone you manufacture for when you could just as easily make your own. I agree that it's a bit iffy to use the same design set (provided it's stoc and not from a designer both ES and PP have used/are using) but at least it wouldn't be blatant plagiarism (unlike the Paige/PP scandal). These wonky heart shapes are way better balanced than SC's Twine + Ink ones, I'll say that. Elle's Studio and PP have better taste. I just realised there's another YOLO sentiment in the collection. Is that still a thing? Anyone using #yolo is doing it ironically these days, aren't they? It is if you're Weird Al and performing 'Tacky'. |

I like the designs, they are very pretty and right up my alley. But, I don't do much traditional scrapping anymore, mostly pocket pages...makes it easier to resist buying.

Is that still a thing? Anyone using #yolo is doing it ironically these days, aren't they? The Elle's ones aren't different on each half, they are just less traditionally shaped (the one that was in Gossamer Blue's logo is more comparable but even then, I'm not sure off the top of my head if it was perfectly mirrored or not). I love the SC ones but I find them difficult to use because of the odd angles on them (I need more of one version than it's mirror, typically) and the fact that they fade/the colors don't run the same through the entire row makes the paler colors difficult to use. |

It is if you're Weird Al and performing 'Tacky'. Had to YouTube that... "43 Bumper Stickers and a "YOLO" license plate"  Love it! Thanks for the discovery. This is why KP keeps pulling me back in. Her sentiment game is usually on point. |

Nobody's trolling you; you were just insinuating shenanigans when nobody had even posted pics demonstrating they were the same, let alone that they'd been stolen. So let's compare?   They look similar to me, but not identical. And as other people mentioned, the two companies work together. I'm fairly certain that if there were actual plagiarism going on, we'd have heard about it by now and the companies would've cut ties with each other since it's not like this just happened with the new collection. |

Silly moi. *adds to playlist* 'White & Nerdy' immediately popped up in the suggestions when I played 'Tacky.' "They see me mowin', they hatin'."  |

"They see me mowin', they hatin'." I think that was his last contractually obligated album. His big thing was that by the time he was able to put together an entire album, many of the songs were no longer relevant. So, he finished off his contract so he can release things his way. The last I heard was that he wanted to be able to release songs as singles ASAP. Sadly, I don't think I've heard of anything released since then...but I also don't follow anything in the music world that closely these days, either. |

Not for me. I feel sometimes PF's colors are too washed out.

I really like the Pink Fresh kit. The hearts are similar but they both remind me of a very old chipboard set of hearts from Heidi swap. I could see myself using this line a lot!

Made me so sad...I got excited and then was quickly dismayed as I don't buy anything coated in clear epoxy because it yellows so bad. |

Not a huge fan of the colours, and I do find some of the PF papers difficult to use. Think it's a pass from me.

Don't put words in my mouth. You spent multiple posts saying things like "I hope she licensed them" "on the up and up" to "avoid any issues" which is an oblique way of implying Pinkfresh might have snurched them, even though nobody had until then even demonstrated they were the same. Then you said "it's not the first time they've used another company's designs," compared Pinkfresh to Paige Evans and Studio Calico's past plagiarism knowing people would make that connection, and then said several times that people who didn't agree the stickers were a "direct copy" were trolling you. WADR, nobody needed to put any words in your mouth. |

I liked their Case of the Blahs, mostly for the subject, but I'm not a pastel scrapper. I do like some of the embellishments with this collection.

WADR, nobody needed to put any words in your mouth. Yep...PFS is not the first time that a company has used another company's designs. In those other instances they did so without permission and I genuinely hope that isn't the case here. THAT is what I've said over and over and over and over again. If you'd like to take it any other way, that's on you and anyone else who decided to take it that way, but you don't get to apply what you view as my intention onto me. So again...don't fucking put words in my mouth.
You can infer whatever you want from my comments, but inferences aren't my words. And I didn't say anything about trolling 'several times'...I said it once out of jest and followed up with comments responding to comments...I have no control over people deciding to take it as a serious statement because the internet doesn't convey tone. Again...don't fucking put words in my mouth.

So, I love this PFS collection as I have most of their releases this year. My next Hip Kit looks to have a quite a bit of this collection and I cannot wait to use it. Especially the peach and blue combo. I will buy whatever else is not in the kit. This is a must have collection for me.
I just picked up a pack of the BB epoxy hearts at Michael’s. I hope they don’t yellow.
