New Obed Marshall Collection “Fantastico”

Early collections from AC designer brands tend to resemble each other more. It helps to establish the visual identity of the brand better. I'm not surprised they stayed within that same pastel-y peach and blue colour scheme. It looks like this one is more travel-geared, however. 

I've not found anything I simply *must* have yet but this brunch/breakfast paper definitely stood out to me: 

I need 10 of those. And a few other things from this collection as well. 

I would love it if he used deeper colors like our friend Steve Duncan.

I just saw there are new lines for Paige Evans and Jen Hadfield too. If JoAnn sells them for 20 cents a sheet, I'll buy them all. But I don't plan on buying any AC (except maybe Vicki Boutin) for full price again. I'd rather chance missing out on it altogether.

The only product added to my wish list is the versatile Alpha Puffy Stickers. 

ETA: I HATE that AC's paper product photos only show a peek of the patterns on reverse sides & not individual images of both the fronts & backs of each sheet!

I looked at the papers- there are actually quite a few of them that aren't pink. Definitely a lot of pink in the embellishments, though. I noticed there is a lot more Spanish in this line, and not as much English. That is really good in general (yay for diversity!) but makes it hard for me to use. When Joann had his last line it was in English so maybe there will be an English version, too.

I love the ombre paper, the swirl, the stripe, and the phones. I think those will be very useable. That breakfast paper is to die for- I love breakfast. I love the beautiful blue b-side, too.

As for the embellishments, I'll probably get the Thickers (I have a Thicker problem), the puffy stickers, and the enamel dots. I usually love chipboard and die cuts but everything looks so square! I'm always looking for more organic, irregular shapes to use on my layouts or it just becomes nothing but rectangles on top of rectangles and that looks weird to me.

I like this line a whole lot more than his first one. I am a pink girl but the tone of the pink in Buenos Dias I did not like and the B side patterns were not really my thing. Fantastico seems to have a lot more in the way of blue and green and for me anyway, more versatile patterns. I have only just seen in the last few weeks a paper pad of Buenos Dias in Australia in store so it might be a while longer before we get any of Fantastico. I would probably buy a few single sheets from that line so hopefully we do get it here.

Just realised the city street paper can be cut down to 6 4x6 vertical façades, pretty neat for cardmakers looking for a quick background!

I've made a few pages with his last line and while they were okay, they aren't my favorite pages. I'll try to make another page with it this weekend and see if I can do better- for some reason I found the embellishments hard to work with. The paper is so pretty, though.

I'll end up buying some of this line, too. Maybe if I mix it in with the last line it might help my mojo.

Does anyone know if we can expect to see this line in Joanns?
