I like some of this line, but I wish that it included girls/women with darker skin tones. Everyone who scraps isn’t Caucasian, nor are all the people we Caucasian women scrapbook. (My nieces are biracial, so this is an ongoing challenge. Companies overall are getting better about more diversity.) I saw a collection at Hobby Lobby the other day with darker skinned women/girls on it. Might have been a planner collection? Called Ella or something? Sorry for the lack of details! ETA: I just searched and it's not the one called Elle oh Elle, must have another name.

Thanks for the new line post!
I'm liking this little direction for MH. I really like CP lines like Oasis and Here+There a lot more than classic MH, so I will find use for these embellishments for sure! From the blog post I am struggling with how those paper prints go with the embellishments, but hopefully with more info I'll "see it". I like all the colors (hope they are printed richer than Here+There), and will likely find this collection to be really useful and versatile. I am liking this a lot more than most of the CP and MH we've seen this last year or so. I'm excited to get it!

Not crazy about the colors, but some of the patterns are pretty, and I love those little charms.

I love that periwinkle but kind of having predictable feeling. All her collections look so same to me. There is nothing new in it. I might pick up few pieces here and there but not crazy about it.

This ^^^ I am not caucasian and it drives me nuts when I see images with lighter skin tones.

I am not caucasian and it drives me nuts when I see images with lighter skin tones. It's a shame because Crate Paper is one of the few companies to represent people of different skin colours in their collections (they even had a paper with only dark-skinned people in their Falalala collection). I'll be disappointed if it's only white ladies in this line. They know and have a record of doing better.

Full line revealed through "Coming Soon" at scrapbook.com. I like more papers than I had anticipated from the first sneaks. It looks like the collection will blend very easily with other summer/travel lines with a modern vibe. The hotel chipboard piece is hella cute.

Agreed about the diversity of skin tones in lines. I’m white, my daughter is black. I love it when I find lines that incorporate different skin colors, ethnicities and hair textures. When she was adopted twelve years ago, I can’t recall any lines that were diversified so I’m glad to see we are headed in the right direction but would love to see it even more.

I like a lot of this line but what is up with the sloppy print handwriting?

I like some of this collection, but I do not like the handwriting.

I like a lot of this line but what is up with the sloppy print handwriting? It's currently on trend. Crate Paper used it in Merry Days and La La La Love as well. But it looks like it's already less sloppy for Sunny Days.

I tend to like anything from her lines. I may pick up something.

The "Peachy" paper reminds me a lot of the wallpaper I want to use in my dream kitchen (you know, the one I'll have when we no longer have to move every few years and can buy our "forever house"). I may never get that kitchen with that wallpaper, so I think I might pick up that Peachy paper as a consolation prize I don't know if I'll really pick anything else up though.

I was so disappointed this paper was sold out everywhere by the time I realized I needed it.

It's hard to tell about the papers, but I am a big yes, yes, yes about the embellishments. Love this color combo!

At some point, I may pick up some bits and pieces but nothing I’m going to run out for. I think this coordinates pretty well with her last few collections, which is nice but the wow factor isn’t there for me.

I like the shell paper, the people in the water, and a few of the b sides. Her stuff always looks the same. I have way too much girly paper for what I scrap but I can definitely use those two beach papers to make a cute layout.
