I love most of Little Dreamer Boy + Our travel adventure. Will pick up some of both. From the other thread, the USA kit is a must have for me.

The flower garden I would probably grab if I saw at TM or on the warehouse sale. I like the salutations collection

I like the travel one! It’s fun to see one that has icons other than the Eiffel Tower.
The salutations one looks great for cards.

Flower Garden looks too much like previous collections. I don't have any need for a little girl theme but I like the Little Dreamer Girl color palette. Salutations reminds me of Practically Perfect.

For the love of all things scrappy, more unicorns? Ugh! And the boy one is stereotypical boy. Personally, I would appreciate a more generalized kid collection. Some trucks, some dolls, some video games, some blocks, legos, swings, slides, .... Echo Park is creating for people new to scrapbooking or scrappers with no stash. There is NOTHING new. For pool and summer we are looking at flamingos again, school has that tired A+, pink and blue baby, just the same old same old cliches and stereotypes. Very disappointed.

I like the idea behind the Salutations line, but don't like the colors. Hopefully since it is named #1, they come out with others in a different color palette. The Dreamer collections both have some different patterns/icons that I think are great. But, I don't really have a use for those papers. Nice to see a few different things though. The CB line....same boots, same flowers, same stand, same colors...same as the EP Spring line....blah...
Steven Duncan-knocked it out of the park with every single line though!

I hate that they have stereotypical boy and girl lines. It drives me crazy. The Flower Garden one looks like something I’ve seen or have. Overall, I’m not impressed.

I don't have much use for Flower Garden, but it's pretty.
Little Dreamer Girl; I like that they did a girl line that wasn't heavy on pink and purple. The dark blue and red is a nice change.
Little Dreamer Boy; is very similar to a collection I still have quite a few pieces of from a few years ago. I do like some B sides. Our Travel Adventure; not something I could use but I do like the solid cardstock colors.
Salutations; pass. I wouldn't use a lot of those words. I also think of the book Charlotte's Web (collection title).

Love the boy and girl lines...especially the girl line. It's going to be perfect for my super girly girl God-daughter.
As for that travel line? If we're ever allowed to leave our homes again it will be perfect for a variety of trips and vacations. I have a long list of trips semi-planned for post lockdown. I swear I should just sign my paycheque over to Steve Duncan,if he designs it I'll buy it. lol

The Flower Garden line is a big fat pass, so underwhelming.
I like all the stars on the b sides of the girl line, I really like that so many of their lines are featuring these tiny star prints.
I like the idea behind the salutations line although I dislike the line overall.

I have an almost 8yoDD - she isn't into rainbows and unicorns anymore - it's Harry Potter, LEGO, reading, games, being outside on her bike, and drawing. Her school photos do not look like the kindergarten graphics that dominate school lines. There is nothing new here beyond the same tired color palettes and stereotypes for kid lines - gendered sayings, toys, and animals, along with the same school paper that they've made for 5 years. It's frustrating.

Thankfully, I am not too crazy about any of them. I might pick up the Little Dreamer Boy & Girl paper pack when my LSS puts them on sale for $10 in a year or two

I like the Salutations, that's a new neat idea! Easy and quick cards!

The travel line is cute, although Australia is left off the map! But I’ll forgive [mention]stevenduncandesigner [/mention] because he put my city, Melbourne, on the sign post in the chipboard. Plus all my trips I need to document are USA anyway.

Nothing is a must-have from this release. I like some of the classic patterns (plaids, stripes, stars, hearts, x/dots) in the A Magical Place & Little Dreamer Girl/Boy collections, all of which I already have something similar (from EP/CB!) in my inventory. Since I'm not a card maker or fond of florals or pastels, neither Flower Garden nor Salutations appeal to me. I like the design concept of the Hearts Stars Stencil, but am disappointed with its mix of uniform & wonky stars & the half normal-half blob shaped hearts.
