Preordered already! I can’t wait. I’m already planning my layouts of my daughter dressed as Neil Armstrong for a fifth grade project!

Most of it is too bright for me but I do like a few of the pages. I’ve found that with the Shimelle collections I tend to like them better when I see them IRL. For some reason the online pictures don’t do them justice.

It reminds me of box of crayons. It’s not for me but I will say Shimelle really seems to have her finger on the pulse of what scrappers are asking for: useable themes, gender neutral, non “best day everrrrrr!”

I might actually be able to use some of this! I love the bold colors...very Vicki Boutin (Can't WAIT to see her next line!). I also have a nephew that a lot of this could work for. He's not really into space, or dinosaurs...at least not yet, but the colors, and maybe his tastes will change a bit and I can use them later. Maybe you can start giving him dinosaur and space themed gifts to nudge him in the right direction lol give gifts so you can use specific scrap paper lmao

You had me at "New Shimelle". Even though her stuff is not always my style, I always buy her stuff cuz I like to support her calm style and her adoration of the craft. This is me too. I will typically buy at least a couple pieces from each of her collections just because I want to support her and all the valuable, time intensive, free content she provides. The problem for me is that as much as I want to like her products...more often than not I just don't. They are always so juvenile looking. If I had kids I'm sure I'd be all over them, but they just don't fit my scrapbooking style at this point in my life. One day I hope for a more sophisticated collection from her. I'm sure it would be amazing.

I like some of the line but don’t really have a use for it. I had 28 years of field trips that I scrapped. Kind of sad they are all finished.

There's some pieces in this collection that I like, some of the b-sides seem especially useful. I love that dinosaur skeleton print but have absolutely no use for it which is a shame, that would be in my cart so fast otherwise. I kind of like the spirograph papers too even though I don't think they'd work for me. Overall I find this an appealing collection and I look forward to craftymom101 convincing me I need it with all the layouts she will no doubt share

I love this line!
I literally have photos from a trip to a museum with a large dinosaur exhibit languishing on my desk because I didn't have anything good to scrap it with.
I also love love, love (!) the rainbow of bold color! Can you say "perfect for pride parade photos" ?
And space and science? Yes, please!
Matte silver alphas? Yes please!!
I will definitely want a bunch of this when it comes out.

I love this! I'm going to have to get two sheets of some of the papers because I adore the A and B sides. I'll probably buy all of the paper and quite a few of the embellishments.

Preordered already! I can’t wait. I’m already planning my layouts of my daughter dressed as Neil Armstrong for a fifth grade project! I have photos of my DD dressed as Dr. Mae Jemison in 2nd grade. I made her a little orange NASA jumpsuit I have 4 sheets in my basket, but I'm still debating about ordering. My kids are older now too, and most of their school pages are done; not all of them though. I don't want to buy more than I need, but I'm not sure what I'll actually use. I'll have to go through and look through my old photos I guess.

It's disappeared from the ACOT store! 😭 I'm sure it will be back but I wonder if they jumped the gun and posted before they were supposed to??
As for the absence of a sticker book, I would be shocked if one didn't appear because that seems to be one of her most popular embellishments based on how often it sells out.

I wonder if they jumped the gun and posted before they were supposed to?? I was just coming here to post about that - Shimelle said on the first part of her Fbk Live today that "someone" jumped the gun and it wasn't supposed to be online yet and she wasn't allowed to talk about it. !!! ACOT's in trouuuuuble.... eek! (not sure if this link will work but she talk about it after 1:50) I thought it was odd that she wasn't saying anything about it. People were commenting on how much they like it. She explained very quickly and said thank you.

ACOT had shared a Crate Paper Halloween line too which has now been disappeared - there's a thread here about it though. I wonder if they showed all of the new AC lines???

I wonder if they are going to honor preorders placed or if we will all have to reorder?

Oops... I took a few screen shots of the products from Field Trip that I liked and posted them on my IG stories (and tagged Shimelle!) which was probably not good. I was curious, too, why she and AC hadn’t made an announcement about the new collection.

You can't put the horse back in the barn!
Seriously, how weird to not just go with it. Now there will be this weird vibe surrounding the release of a great line. And I feel bad for those who preordered already. I only put items in my cart, so that's gone.
So, do we know when we might be allowed to buy this line?

Whoops! For any of you who actually placed a pre-order, let us know how they choose to handle it. If it just disappeared from my order, I would want them to compensate me for the shipping on the rest of my order.

It’s still listed in my orders. I wondered if they’d jumped the gun since we’d heard absolutely nothing about it yet. If I click on my order, the links to the individual items are still active. If anything changes, I’ll let y’all know.

I was sitting here for 10 minutes thinking I didn't know how to click a link because for the life of me, I couldn't find these products. I even googled them and everything. Next time, I'll read ALL of the thread. Ha! I just got so excited and was ready to pre-order that I just clicked and was ready to shop. I bought some of her last collection and I agree, no one does purple like Shimelle. I just edited my op!

So, do we know when we might be allowed to buy this line? On the Crate Paper Halloween thread (also leaked early it seems) someone said probably in the next couple of weeks. I think she was basing that off her orders last year. I don't really get trying to pretend the mistake didn't happen - kind of like retracting an email. Everyone who saw it still saw it! I'm not sure what harm it does except maybe give that store an unfair advantage or something. AC probably doesn't have the marketing ready yet. I don't know.

I was curious, too, why she and AC hadn’t made an announcement about the new collection. I was wondering too! I saw your posts and was really surprised not to see a response from her. Especially because I think she's going to be really excited to use this collection with all her Wonder Boy museum and outing pictures. I think it's going to be really fun to see her use it. (I'm a vicarious scrapbooker) She must've freaked out though. That might've been the first they knew about it...? >.< Not your fault - you're just a super shopper! and enabler! I'm sure she would've been thrilled if it hadn't been too early.

When things like this happen I always wonder why they don't just roll with it? I mean, does it really actually matter if it gets announced today or two weeks from now? Seems to me they'd be better off to take advantage of the early excitement rather than trying to be all hush hush super secretive.

Same thing happened with her Box of Crayons Collection, I believe. ACOT had it posted WAYYYYY early.

I had added some of the items to my cart at ACOT for preorder - I can still see them, and it says shipping in July.
