Oh, both the baby collections are so sweet! I especially love the colors in the boy line.

Well I'm exactly 0% surprised that one of the baby lines is pink and the other is blue. That said I like a couple of the b sides, the tiny yellow star print from the boy line and the tiny hearts on pink from the girl line.

The spring line seems like a rerun. I feel like it's the same colors, bees, flowers, loopy font each year.
I almost didn't look at the baby lines because i have no baby pics to scrap, but I'm glad i did. The colors in the baby boy line are very nice, and I love the planets paper. I kind of wish it wasn't so over the top cutesy, though.

I dropped a good half dozen papers into my cart that I like for the B sides.
Is the baby girl paper pink or peach? It's too early and my eyes aren't working right just yet

I like that the spring collection has some red in it to give it some energy and pop. The designs definitely feel like all of their previous spring lines though. I like the rubber boots, but it’s really similar to a previous paper, I think in Spring Fling?
For the baby collections, I’m not a fan of that illustration style or lettering style - very LLP (Live Love Paper) or Crate Paperish to me. That said, I like the boy color scheme and that they offer a few different designs in addition to the standard baby motifs. I may have to pick up the planets paper, both for the A and B sides, and the moon paper.

I need that truck die from the spring collection
I like some of the papers from the Boy collection - I've no use for the pinks from the girl.

I wish they would do a single line for babies that was more gender neutral.
That said, I am going to buy both lines for card making. We are having a bit of a baby explosion from my nieces and nephews.

I'm not a big Spring paper person anyway, and like others, I feel like this is just a repeat of the same crap.
I love the colors and papers of the baby boy but have no need for it. Darn.
Some of the patterns on the baby girl are cute too, but I'm so sick of the pink, pink, pink. A little pink would be ok, but let's bring in some other colors too. Please!?

Not interested giant eye roll
Same old same old, boys get blue & science like animals & planets girls get pink and fluffy animals, flowers & rainbows. Yeah yeah they tried to make a celestial paper in ‘girls’ but it’s weird-pink on peach in cream.
Blah blah blah blah barf
Some B-sides are fun but I won’t buy them because I’m not going to buy into this stereo typical crap any more.
I just want a more fresh approach to children oriented paper than the same stereo typical crap that’s been there for 25+ years. Can’t anyone think of something else?
Yes I’m cranky and bitchy today I’ll own it.
Back to your regularly scheduled paper enabling...
Sorry for the rant

I never have any need for spring or baby collections. I guess pastels are not my thing and I don’t scrap those topics. I do like the pop of red in the spring collection, though.

We are having a bit of a baby explosion from my nieces and nephews. I agree. There aware so many times a gender neutral collection would be handy. I guess the scrapbooking companies just want us to buy both... but even then, like sometimes I want something other than pink and blue! |

Ok I just looked at them lol and I love love love the baby ones! You can definitely use them for non baby related pages. The nautical, florals, etc. I also love the animals sheet and the planets. I wish the girl collection had planets, why is it just moon?
However, definitely not a fan of the spring collection. Holy cow, they’ve used the same butterfly and rain boot prints in how many collections now?

My wish list would be for something fresh, and something new. I know, I know. Everything's been done already. I'm tired of EP I guess, all the things look/feel like all their other things. I may be feeling a bit salty myself today. |

I really like the boy baby set. I’ll probably buy that as I haven’t even touched my fifth boys book yet and it’s something different than his brothers. And I like the red in the spring. It’s getting closer to less pastels and pinks. I haven’t grabbed spring in the last so I’ll grab a few of these. No Baby girls here so I didn’t even peep at that from the responses from others.

The baby lines are precisely why I haven't done my 5 year old's baby book yet. I'm so tired of seeing pink for girls and blue for boys!

Easter is eh. Feels the same as other lines. I do like the bunny in the carrot car. Why is it so cutesy? Can't they do something inbetween?

Can a line be so pastel that it hurts your eyes? That's how I felt looking at the Easter collection...yuck. The baby girl and spring aren't much better.
I love the baby boy line--darker colors and better designs than what I've seen lately (not that I'm looking for baby lines, but I sometimes like the B sides).

I love the navy in the baby boy line. Lots of versatile prints. I wish they had added a richer color pop to the girl one like a burgundy or wine. Way too much pinkness and lacking the accent punches the boy line has.
When my daughter was a baby I did purple and blue for her.

Thanks for your responses. Like most of you, I find this release too pastel, cutesy, & recycled from previous years. I like the color palette & ombre watercolor paper in the baby boy collection, but dislike the wonkly lines of the plaid/stripe/plus symbol patterns. Nothing from this release is on my wish list. ETA: ...Is the baby girl paper pink or peach?... I wasn't sure either & often have to rely on the colors of solids offered in a collection to determine its color palette. The solids in the Welcome Baby Girl line are Salmon/Lt Pink, Dk Pink/Yellow, & Green/Pink. HTH |

I like some B sides of the pattern paper and washi tape in the boy and girl lines. I don't have much need for Easter/Spring papers. Our spring season is usually short, wet, cold, briefly nice, and then it's summer.

The baby girl, spring, and easter are a little too pastel/insipid for me. I do like that baby boy color way though.
ETA: Love, love, love that "Sweet Dreams" paper in the baby boy line.

I want just one Easter collection that doesn't have pastels or pinks in it. I have some individual papers like that, but not a whole Easter collection.
