AT has her random tigers back!
I didn't see much to be excited about but that's fine with me. We'll see later if any of it grows on me.

AC sucks - they never listen - screw 'em. ACOT is the bomb! Matt at ACOT - you guys ROCK! and I love ordering from you. I totally agree. ACOT is the only online store for me. The customer service is outstanding!

Thanks, Matt at ACOT for displaying that Jen Hadfield paper. It looks like a fun one to use for pages about & cards for my dgd's. And i also like the orange/peach in this line along with the navy. I love the happy colours in the VB line. There are so many playful ways to use this. Pretty sure I will get at least some of these papers, and I MUST get that sticker book! Can't wait to see what KikiPea does with pages layering all those flowers. I love the yellows and those foiled dots in the Obed Marshall line. Heehee Thanks, grammadee. I’m going to try. This line leans almost too pastel for me, and I am totally over everything being rainbow. I usually like the colors of the rainbow, just not the shape (I think you can only use so many. I don’t see them like stars, hearts...but they seem to think they are.), but these colors are almost too much for me, which makes me sad. I have only seen it for a sec. I need to go in and dig further on my laptop where I can see it better. I will buy a bit of it, especially the embellishments, for sure!

I’m not usually a fan of most of their lines, other than VB due to them being too pink and too cutesy, but I will probably grab a couple B sides for backgrounds. I want all the floral embellishments, but will be aware of too much pink before I decide which ones I will buy.

How many more times is Maggie Holmes going to repeat the same pattern with minor changes?

Maybe I’m just tired and cranky, but there is nothing in any of these collections that excites me at all. It’s the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” routine. American crafts has been doing the same regurgitated designs for years now.

Maggie Holmes - EXACTLY like every other line she has. Every motif and color is a repeat. Vicki Boutin - I love it. I'm buying two of every piece of paper and most of the embellishments. Amy Tangerine - I think the papers aren't that interesting but I really like the embellishments. Heidi Swapp - I usually don't like her stuff (except for Art Walk and Wolf Pack) but I think I'll buy this one. I'm intrigued with what I can do with those papers. Paige Evans - This is the same thing over and over, too. I already have a bunch of Paige Evans stuff so I probably won't buy more. Jen Hatfield - I probably won't get this one either. It is pretty but it doesn't really grab me. Obed Marshall - I really like this one- I'll probably buy most of it except for the Spanish phrases. I think it is neat that it is in Spanish, I just don't have a use for it.

They look exactly like last years' releases; which looked exactly like the year befores' releases.
UGH. With the except of the Spanish vibe, there is nothing new here. I am tired of it all.

I miss Shimelle's aesthetic. It was closest to Amy's but not. Not every paper worked for me but there were always several papers in each collection that I loved and ordered multiples of.
How stupid that they keep that same-exact-stuff-as-every-other-line of Maggie Holmes and they ditch Shimelle that had so much variety.

There are a few things that I really like, particularly in Heidi Swapp and Vicki Boutin's lines, but nothing that I must have - which is good. I get a ton of stuff through subscription services that I love, so I do not need anything else....for now. Maybe.

Obed Marshall- love the bright fun colors, and the ombre thickers are gorgeous. I don't have a need for Spanish phrases, but it's awesome for all the people who've probably been wanting it.
Vicki Boutin- I will probably lean toward the mixed media stuff, maybe some of the stickers.
Jen Hadfield- this is actually really cute (turtle!), but not my style.
Maggie Holmes- nope.
Amy Tangerine- I'm not that good at working with loud patterns and colors.
Paige Evans- nope.
Heidi Swapp- pretty colors! I like this one best.
I'm definitely not a flowers and butterflies girly-girl type of person/scrapper!

I pre-ordered a bunch of Maggie Holmes's Garden Party from my local online LSS - estimated arrival date - March.
I know, Garden Party looks identical to her previous releases, but I love her previous releases, and I love this one just as much <3

Obed Marshall - I love how light and bright it is. The colors are pretty and most of the patterns are pretty versatile. I am glad to see a line with Spanish phrases.
Vicki Boutin - LOVE it all!! I am thisclose to breaking my spending freeze on this one.
Jen Hadfield - it's nice but nothing I have to have.
Maggie Holmes - more of the same which is fine - I think it's pretty but hate how the base color is kind of muddy. The swans can go.
Paige Evans - this is a hard no for me. It's weird because it seems so similar to her recent lines which I really like but I don't like this one at all.
Amy Tan - it's a little purple-y for me but I like this more than most of her recent collections.
Heidi Swapp - eh. The P above who described as a mood board nailed it. But I really like the sticker book and that there's a die cut cardstock.
It looks like American Crafts is pushing those hand drawn rainbows - they are represented in most of the collections.

I'm a digital scrapper, but here are my thoughts anyway. Obed Marshall - I LOVE all of his stuff, so bright and happy. I wish he did digital kits. Vicki Boutin - Very pretty, I love a lot of this Paige Evans - I quite like a lot of this Amy Tangerine - some of it is okay Maggie Holmes - meh, some of it is okay Heidi Swapp - I like the sunset paper, but that's about it Jen Hadfield - not my style

I need just one strip of that Dance paper with people dancing, especially the white sweater girl with the short red hair. My son took a photo of me and DGD dancing. If anyone buys that paper and wants to send me a scrap, I'll pay gladly!
I like some of the Heidi Swapp if I had some photos for it.

I understand what you long-time crafters are saying about same-old-same-old, but I was away from scrapping for many years, and just started up again last year, so I can look at pretty much everything as brand new.
I love Paige Evans and Obed Marshall's new collections! Paige's happy colors speak to me and I've bought several of her collections now. I have never heard of Obed Marshall before, but I'm definitely going to pre-order now. I love the softer colors and the bilingual phrases.

Nothing that I'm aware of/can share right now, sorry Matt at ACOT - On the Obed Marshall Buenos Dias (white) die set, what does the word die say? Not who you asked, but I am pretty sure it says 'momentos' - moments in Spanish. Yeah, it looks like the yellow one is "momentos" and the white one is "recuerdos" (memories).

Kind of relieved that none of the new AC stuff really excites me. I really need to use what I have this year.

I ended up putting 15 papers in my cart from all the various new lines combined, but I'm not ready to hit send. I just don't love any of them enough to place an order. I want to see if someone else comes out with anything I *really* want, and if they do I'll use some of these AC papers to round out my order.

How many more times is Maggie Holmes going to repeat the same pattern with minor changes? A couple times per year. So, like 84 more times.

So underwhelming, I think this has been the least interesting spring release from AC for me ever. I have hopes that if Shimelle and Crate Paper were there I might be the most interested in those.
Why not release a Crate Paper line--doesn't it sell pretty well? It is often sold out if I don't find I buy it quickly. Did AC lose their designer for Crate Paper? Not everything has to be a "branded personality" line!
I think Maggie Holmes's line has some color improvement over the last couple "rinse and repeat" lines. So this line does make a nice addition to other lines of hers. But it is hard to keep adding such similar looks and icons to pages and cards--there is a limit to how much one can use. But maybe the idea is to see how many people will keep buying it indefinitely!
If they are going to keep "redoing" old MH's lines, why not try "Sunny Days" for at least a little theme variety?

Like Pink Paislee has seemingly disappeared & its headliner, Paige Evans, is now an AC brand, it seems Crate Paper has also vanished & its headliner, Maggie Holmes, is now an AC brand.

So, is Crate Paper done now? Does anyone have any inside info? They always had my favorite collections. Pink Paisley has had some really good ones over the years too. This is kind of sad...

It's funny for me to see this post now, because I did end up placing an order recently. I rounded out my Cocoa Vanilla order with three Heidi Swapp papers and two from 49 and Market. So much for my AC starter 15, lol
