Additional Photoplay packs I saw: Belle Fleur, Panda Party, Free Bird.
I don't mean this rudely, but I get a little confused with collection names because to my eyes, Photoplay, Echo Park and Bella Blvd are very similar. There is plenty of all three manufacturers in my store right now.

Do you remember what any of the Photoplay packs were? Haven't seen anything good at my TM lately, but I like some of the Photoplay themes. Fish Tales, Paprika, Best Mom, Best Dad, Squeeze in Some Fun, Summer Bucket List, Muttcracker Free Style, To the Moon and Back, No Pun Intended, Here and There, School Days and I feel like I might be missing one or two. There were a few more girlie ones I didn't look at. Wow! That's a ton. I don't even recognize all of the names. Wondering if it's worth it to stop at mine after work tomorrow. It's not terribly far from where I work, but is kind of out of the way. If I knew they'd have any of them, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Unfortunately mine doesn't seem to get a lot of the fun crafting things other stores get. Off to look up the ones I don't recognize.

I made a quick stop. Today is the day they get their trucks and I thought they had not unloaded the boxes because it didn’t appear stocked. But in there was some Photoplay. I picked up Squeeze in Some Fun and Free Bird. They also had the boy and girl birthday pack and a couple others mentioned. Also got a 6x8 Simple Stories Fall Farmhouse as well as the mini sticker tablet. The tablet was $3.99 which seemed a bit high IMO and was not bundled. Sure hope some embellishments start to trickle in soon. Lots of Project Life and some clear iris type containers, but that’s about it. Also just mentioning that my TM has some really great face masks and filters. Nice quality!

I checked out my other TM today and there were probably another 5 sets I didn't mention. There was a Panda Birthday Cake, a girl Birthday Wishes, Free Bird, and some flowery ones I don't know.

No new Thickers/stamps/dies/punches or Photoplay or Simple Stories collections at any of our stores, but a couple different Bella Blvd embellishment bundles & lots of Echo Park/Carta Bella (at $5.99/ea) & Authentique (at $9.99-14.99/ea) paper packs.

I had purchased these online from the company direct and they were $12.00 but then the added shipping. The others were from Across the Pond and I believe 5 for $12.99. The colors were very pretty and they are a great quality. And the filters were $5.99 and I can’t recall but either 12 or 20. None of the masks I picked up had a slot for a filter but I own others that do.

I need more paper like a need a hole in the head, but some of the packs are priced well. They had a 12 pack/stickers with chipboard and ephemera for $8.99 for Simple Stories Halloween. Then they had Authentique packs with maybe 12 sheets (only paper) for $11.99. I would have purchased the Soccer one if it had been more reasonable. I could buy that paper at my LSS for that price.

Mine had Studio Calico 6x8 page protectors, SC 9x12 page protectors, Paige Evan's Horizon (was marked 820) and Echo Park Pack Your Bags.
Edited - they are 9x12, not 6x12 page protectors. The smaller ones are actually 7x7.37in and 7x7.37 inches. I thought it was 6x8 lol whoops.

I picked up a pack of 9x12 page protectors that are the 3x3 pockets. They are SC brand. Also got Bella Blvd Mom Life kit-super cute and a Bella Blvd Christmas Album Kit Santa Stops Here. I don’t need any more PL kits or cards but I couldn’t put down the core kit I found called Snapshots Edition. It has square cards. I also got a pack of Pink Paislee and Simple Stories 12x12 25 sheet packs of patterned paper. The Pink Paislee is a pretty rainbow stripe and the other pack is white small black polka dots.
They had a lot of Echo Park Halloween, Fall and Christmas page kits. They were really hard to resist but I stayed strong! Also Bella Blvd Christmas page kits.

Same! Like you, my existing paper inventory allows me to be selective. Authentique is not my style due to its signature vintage images, distressing, & drab color palettes, so I wasn't tempted by the overpriced (only paper) packs (& giggled at the $26.99-40.00 MSRPs listed on the $9.99-14.99 price tags). If you're still searching for soccer-themed papers, I saw a Bella Blvd soccer collection kit (patterned papers, border cut-aparts, & sticker sheet) for $6.99. Happy shopping!

Thanks artsyk Do these fit in regular 3ring albums? I love buying other size page protectors. I just punch new holes where necessary with a small single hole punch. I really don't need any more (I have 2 albums filled with extra pocket pages). So if they don't fit it is easy for me to say no. Plus I'm lazy and hate the look of the janky holes when I try to do it myself.

I found a lot of the same things mentioned here. I did find a star squeeze punch from Fiskars. I will be on the lookout for the SC 9x12 page protectors. My guess is they are from their 7 paper collection distributed by AC and are the regular 3 holes. I did get some SC 6x8 page protectors as I have some old handbooks.

I was at my last store left this week - unfortunately it was very close to closing time so I barely got through two sections - paper packs and sticker books. Prices are definitely higher - I went to this store in late July when it was still mostly items from Dec-April - I did pay the $14.99 for the Bazzill stack. Sad to find out it used to be cheaper, but still a good deal at 15 cents a sheet. The paper kits were $3-4.99 are now $6-8.99.
Lots of new paper packs mentioned above - Bella Blvd, Authentique and Echo Park, but not my style. I did find the Simple Stories Say Cheese, which is a mix of 2 and 3 papers and 4 embellishments. I was hoping for the Say Cheese Halloween - need it for niece and daughter’s WDW trip last fall.
I did get a 3 recent PL core kits for $5.99 - Project 52 Dare, Snapshots and Sharp. All squared corners. The Snapshots is really nice. I’ve bought 8 from TM plus some value kits. A bit overkill since I only plan to pocket scrap school albums and vacations. Ive pulled out one of each design but need to figure out what to do with the extras,
Wish I had found the Studio Calico 9x12 inserts - that’s the size I want to try to scrap a few vacations.
Wanted to look for 6x8 pads (didn’t see any) and word stickers, but ran out of time to look through the chaos that is the embellishments.

I was in Louisville over the weekend for a wedding and while driving to the hotel, my daughter said - look, there's a Tuesday Morning, don't you like those?
I stopped in after I dropped her at the rehearsal and found 2 AC Sticky Thumb Marathon runners for 6.99 each - better than 1/2 price! These replaced the Bazzill Marathon runners that I loved for years.
In the clearance section I found an Amy Tangerine Journal Studio Traveler's Notebook for 5.99!
Also picked up a couple of Carpe Diem inserts - I had to be mindful of packing constraints and avoided looking at anything too big.
So glad I have an eagle-eyed daughter!

I finally went to the store for the first time since February. It was pretty bare, not a whole lot of anything but I did manage to get Christmas Delivered and Celebrate Christmas from Echo Park & Happy Haunting from Simple Stories and Bo Bunny Adventure Icon stamps for $1.

I think the nothing under $4.99 thing is true. Echo Park now has special 6x6 paper pads for TM. They are $5.99. Basically 2 6x6 paper pads in one. 4 of 12 designs instead of the usual 2. Great for card makers who like to make multiples of things, but not so much for anyone else.

Went to both of mine today. One had their shipment in two filled to the rim carts. There was so much stuff in there. A ton of stamps, dies, mixed media, embossing, pencils and markers. They also had about 40 6 x 6 pads that were mostly repeats or went with the Echo Park 12 x 12 packs that came out last week. It was an impressive shipment. I needed nothing and left one store without anything and the other store had a late truck, but I found the Boy Birthday Wishes paper pack and got a couple of those.
The Echo Park packs used to be $5.99 in my stores and went up to $6.99. The other packs I've been seeing are generally more expensive per sheet in my LSS and I wasn't surprised to see those packs higher. Authentique and Carta Bella have always been pricier. I don't think I've seen paper kits for regular brand paper $3-$4.99 for years.

Reporting the arrival of a half dozen Photoplay paper kits, multiple racks of 25-ct bulk packs of (same design) patterned or specialty paper, & Echo Park 6x6 paper pads containing 48 sheets/each at my local stores. Still no new Thickers/stamps/dies/punches or Simple Stories kits previously mentioned. ETA: I think the nothing under $4.99 thing is true. Echo Park now has special 6x6 paper pads for TM. They are $5.99. Basically 2 6x6 paper pads in one. 4 of 12 designs instead of the usual 2. Great for card makers who like to make multiples of things, but not so much for anyone else. Agreed. I would have preferred two collections combined in one pad (ie 2 of 12 designs from both, so 24 from each collection for a total of 48 sheets), since I already struggle to use two of most patterns in my 24-ct 6x6 pads!

Popped in very quickly tonite, after noticing several people mention the SC 6x8 page protectors.
They did have a 3 packs of 6x8 (but they were 3x3 and 4x4 styles) and 2 packs of 9 x 12 protectors. BUT they also 2 SC black, leather style 6x8 albums of $6.99 ea. Took them both for that price.
