I ordered most of this collection and some of it arrived yesterday. I LOVE it! If you're on the fence, buy the paper pad and journaling pad to start. I've made four pages so far and still have tons of product left over.
I purchased most of Head in the Clouds and while I like the collection a lot, I'm having a hard time using the mermaids and some of the sentiments. Sparkle City is much more usable for my photos and stories.
I need to photograph my pages so I can count my points on the challenge thread!
Did anyone else buy this collection? What do you think?

I missed that his line even existed, I like it though. I wish our local store sold it! Did you order online?

Thanks for the review. My LSS just got this in and I am planning to head in tomorrow to check it out. I’m hoping it coordinates with some of the more travel themed elements of Paige Evans’ new collection, although even if it doesn’t I’m sure I will be picking some up.

I like the collection but I don’t really have anything I can use it for right now. I might bur a few individual papers though. I’ve been looking for some purple.

I really like the look of it, and I like that it goes well with Head in the Clouds. Maybe you can use it to stretch what you already have? I used my mermaids and such for cards for sick kids (fantasy themes seem to be a good option for kids who are spending half of their lives in hospitals) but I had some papers and sentiments that I just couldn't use too.
I'm looking forward to getting some Sparkle City soon. Shimelle has been sharing lots of videos showing this collection and it seems usable and really pretty. I want to get the stickers and rub-ons at least, although I'll probably be using them in my journals since I don't paper scrap. (The pigeons! I love the pigeons!) I'll probably get some papers to make more cards, but I'm really bummed that they didn't do a 6x6 pad again. I hope the journaling pad is useful for scrappers, but I miss the small scale papers for cardmaking.
I'd love to see what you've been making with it!

I think the 6x8 journaling pad is much more usable than the Head in the Clouds 6x8 journaling pad.
Also, the sticker folder is awesome. The stickers in HITC are so teeny tiny but the stickers in this folder are great. Labels, stars, word stickers, washi... lots of great options. The two Thickers are great, too. I've used the holographic star Thickers on three pages already.

... I purchased most of Head in the Clouds and while I like the collection a lot, I'm having a hard time using the mermaids and some of the sentiments. I remember sometime last year kiwigirl 's DT assignment was to use Illustrated Faith, and she was a little hesitant at first because she's not one to use religious messages in her scrapbooking. She made it a challenge to use the cards and papers in a creative way that obscured the stuff she didn't want to show. I find myself doing that with Head in the Clouds. I'll make a thin mat from it so you can't make out the image on the paper, or I'll die cut it into flowers or doilies so enough of the image is removed, making it difficult to figure out what the image ever was to start with. (I bought the HITC Project Pad thinking I would get the B-sides I wanted, but it was all single sided A-sides. I was so disappointed)

I got everything but the project pad and the glitter alphabet stickers. I’m stupid excited for this one.
Love the fact it coordinates with Head in the Clouds and love that ONE green B side because I have plenty of green that color that I can easily mix in and really make these collections go far.
