Pretty typical Maggie Homes. I think the colors are every so slightly different (still so much pink!) but nothing original about it. The icons have been used in most of her other lines.
There are a couple papers I like but nothing to get excited about at all.

Jesus Murphy. The ac machine just keeps hitting “scramble” on the design machine so it looks like a fresh design when clearly it’s not. If you something in this collection, you likely already have it in your stash if you’ve bought any Maggie in the last 5 years.

I think that green is a little different and pretty but the rest is the same old thing.

I like it... I love using soft, muted colours and designs, so it would work well with what I already have.

Eh. Its a rehash of what she's already done. I will buy Best day (green floral) and Dream Big (stripes) and the vellum.

Crate Paper has two more lines coming (I looked at Scrapbook.com's coming soon) and they are also the same- even the Christmas one! Swans and ducks all over the place. Roses. Fruit. Egads! You could not tell the other Crate Paper line from this one.

I put 2 sheets in my cart with black and off-white designs, that I would have loved if they were against a real white. I don't know if they'll make the final cut, but they're there for now.

I like the big florals and this shade of green but I just feel like I've seen all of this before. You could put most of Maggie Holmes collections together and have one big massive collection. Some differences and something a little fresher would be nice.

and why ducks? why swans? why peacocks? why deer? does their target audience have a season pass to the zoo, or what?!?

Super pretty but the same as everything Crate Paper puts out there. I wouldn't buy any of it, as it's not my style - I'm too literal with my scrapping.

I DO NOT LIKE that stickers have returned to the white border and the wonky shapes because it looks like crap on a page. I love when the sticker has a clear background. Why did they switch back to this early sticker style?

I'm with the rest of you. Same old Maggie Holmes, same old Crate Paper. I live in the country and can't see any reason to have that forest animal paper. No use for it at all. Especially with the soft pastel colors. I will pass on this one too.

Same colour scheme, same vibes, just a bit more child-centric. And of course there is a camera stuck in there!

Wow, this literally does look like every other line she has done. That being said, I may get the chipboard and the cut apart sheet to go with the older collections I have. I am low on chipboard

It's cute.. nothing outstanding... I did like the forest paper with the deer, swans, etc. on it.. I first thought of a baby's room in that theme. I have no use for it though. I will always love pink.. so no complaints on pink for me.

I also just finished 20 pages of the Rocky Mountain National Park. This still wouldn't have been a line I would have used. (I might also have a season pass to the zoo!). Haha.

That's an easy pass for me. Definitely seen all of it before.

Bows....cameras......flowers.... looks like the same regurgitated Designs from the past MH kits. Doesn’t even look like they tried to change some of the designs. Just looks like laziness. I’m sure it won’t be long before it’s at my Tuesday Morning, or peachy cheap, or Joann’s clearance rack etc...... I do love the colors but nothing looks new or fresh.

My streak of never buying anything from a CP Maggie Holmes collection continues...

The more I think about this, the more it makes me a little angry. The utter lack of imagination is to the point that it is almost insulting. Evidently her stuff must sell well? I've bought some of her lines but I don't scrap a lot of dainty feminine pages so I haven't used much of what I've bought. I've seen a lot of the pages the rest of you do and not a lot of them fit that aesthetic, either. So why do they keeping cranking out the same thing over and over? Either cut out the roses, bows, and swans, or keep them and come up with a different color scheme. Show a little imagination. I think her aesthetic might work well for baby pages, so why doesn't she come up with a baby blue line? Anything new, really.

There is this new group of paper crafters I call them the "happymail" crafters. They love MH. They are not making cards or scrapbooks but a lot of pretty banners and boxes and clusters of ephemera. Its them who they design for, so everything can match and they can mix different MH lines, don't need a specific theme as long its pretty.
