I love the colors of the Dots & Stripes Fall collection!

I adore the EP I Love Halloween line. Sadly, I have more Halloween stuff than I can ever use. On my wish list are EP Gingerbread Christmas, as well as both Dots & Stripes collections. I agree with carolynhasacat, the colors are really pretty. The fall collections are nice, but very similar to what I already have. |

Unfortunately, there is nothing jumping out at me. It all seems so familiar. I will pick up some single sheets of paper from a few lines but probably won't be purchasing much.

I love Hello Autumn, especially the b-side of the journaling card sheet with the leaf gradient. I will be buying that in multiples.
While I love Halloween and EP’s ‘Market’ subcollection, I really don’t feel like Halloween Market fits in with the other ‘Market’ lines.

Gotta have both of the dots and strips collections along with some individual sheets from a few of the collections.

It all feels the same anymore.
It's lovely, but nothing special or earth shattering, and if I had a lss I would pick up a few sheets, but I'm not going out of my way to order it.
Halloween, autumn, & Christmas seem so far away still.

It looks like EP/CB are continuing their version 2.0/3.0/4.0 approach to many collections. They all flow into each other from one year to the other which I assume is the intention but I'm struggling to fall in love with anything. Some design elements and even full papers are almost the exact same to the point that I have to go check what the actual difference is with the almost identical twin paper from 2019 or 2018 I already have bought and used. I hope they decide to freshen things up for next year and start afresh! I absolutely love-love-LOVE Halloween Market. It's my favourite of the bunch by far. Love at first sight. I'm getting major Spellcast (Pink Paislee) vibes from it. It's so up my dark, stormy night alley! I wish it came with some chipboard embellishments... Individual stand-outs from all these lines in my opinion: Christmas Village from Hello Christmas  Santa singing with reindeer (all of Steven Duncan's reindeers look top notch in this collection) + painted brick fireplace elements from Dear Santa  Kitchen Magic from A Gingerbread Christmas  Santas from A Lumberjack Christmas  Apple Farms from Hello Autumn  |

That's a lot of Christmas lines from one company.
I still have a ton of one of the Christmas lines from a few years ago that was black and red... not my favorite. I usually like the more snarky Christmas lines (usually the one with a non-traditional color scheme) and I'm not seeing one, very traditional red and green this year...
I was going to pick up a Halloween line because I can use the purple (if it's not too themed) for my dd's high school pages (school colors...) sometimes there is a purple stripe or something I can repurpose but the only paper that's purple is the bat one (in EP's Halloween line) and I swear I already own that exact paper...

Soo many paper with white/cream background and small prints.one collection had 8 papers like this. I find it hard to scrap with collections like this because those papers just blend into each other's and their isn't enough paper with other colors as the main color to separate them.
Nothing stood out to me but I usually like winter vs Christmas papers and while I love fall never have the photos for it.

The fall collections are nice, but very similar to what I already have. I thought they looked really similar to their collections from last year also. I know I have some EP with that fox and bear. It is a pretty collection though. |

[ I agree with sleepingbootyThat Halloween Market is divine. I have absolutely no need for any more Halloween paper or embellishments, but that is not going to stop me from buying a far amount of that line. I adore it!!! |

I like:
A Lumberjack Christmas - this is my favorite
Farmhouse Christmas
Hello Autumn
Halloween Market - I need the bat and skeleton papers- also the bat stencil.
I don't like cutesy, which knocks out the other Halloween line, and the Santa one is also too cutesy for me. I'm not religious, so that knocks out Silent Night, although I love the sky paper.
There are a lot of the same things as last year. It is probably hard to come up with something for Christmas that hasn't been done before but I think the attempts are pretty weak.

I absolutely love EP and CB both. But, like everyone else, I feel like this is too much of the same old, same old. Having things coordinate with the last collection, or two, is nice, but I want to see something new and fresh! And, if it's too hard to come up with something new-stop putting out so many collections! Why do they need to do 6 Christmas collections?! I'd be happy with 2 or 3, just to get something more unique! They are all red, green, black and kraft. Blah.
That being said-I think Halloween Market is great and pretty original! I don't need it, but I like it a lot!
There are a few things from Hello Autumn that will find their way to my stash! The paper with the barns/farms is really fun! And the different leaf papers look nice! But, the truck and the blue pumpkins...no thanks, I already have that from last year, and the year before...

There aren't a lot of must-haves here for me. I don't do Christmas, I'm set for Halloween, and I'm not fond of the off-white backgrounds. Still, I like the gold and navy starry night b-side in Silent Night a lot, and there are a couple of b-sides from Hello Autumn that I like.
Mostly I'm finding I'm attracted to the stencils in every collection. Must be Vicki Boutin's fault.

Hello Autumn has a Little House on the Prarie feel to me - I love it! I really like the Farmhouse Christmas, too. I haven't bought holiday stuff in quite a while, so things still look new to me. LOL

Here in my part of SoCal there isn’t much in the way of seasonal changes other than the temperature so most of those collections wouldn’t work for me. Unfortunate because the autumn and winter papers are nice. I do like Silent Night though since I don’t have much In the way of faith based papers. I’ll probably buy some of these.

ALL of the Dear Santa line except the stamps and dies. I like bits and pieces of the other lines.

Halloween Market has got me very excited. It’s so perfect for us older people without kids. My hub and I are in our 30s and we love doing Halloween things with our friends. Most of the cutesy lines don’t work for me.

I love A Gingerbread Christmas! The CB Santa line is white based which surprised me but I like it. The little pops of blue in the embellishments is nice.
Is it me or are the Dots & Stripes missing the stripes...?

Out of ALL those collections this sheet of paper is about the only thing I care for. @lilacgirl Yep...you're right. What the heck?  |

I am on a major Christmas paper freeze, so I didn't even look at those lines. I must use up what I have. I do like Hello Autumn, but I am not sure that I like it as much as last year's CB fall collection. It does look very similar, especially the pumpkin paper. I will likely pick up some of the embellishments and the odd sheet or two just to supplement what I got last year (which, of course, I have not touched yet).
