EP and CB are typically misses for me, but I really like the Animal Kingdom collection. The brighter hues and watercolored animals are great!
Lots of pretty greens and blues throughout, and some lovely floral patterns, but nothing else that calls to me. I wish the Sunflower Market collection had more sunflowers and less farm. Pretty color palette, though.

I will be getting the Sunflower Market enamel dots and the wanna be KitchenAid mixer paper to document my mixers. But that's it. Everything else is not my cup of tea.

I like Sunflower Market but I don't know if I need yet another collection that reminds me of Paula Deen saying, "From mah kitchen duh yers."
Not a fan of Wedding, Welcome Winter, or Winter. The color palettes on both winter collections are quite limited and the wedding collection is a whole lot of blush and bashful.
I do really like Day in the Life and Gather at Home and would buy quite a bit of both.
I don't have any use for Animal Kingdom.

Love the winter collections...but I live in Florida...
Day in the Life and Gather at Home are awesome - just up my alley.
Animal Kingdom is the sort of collection I buy and then when I'm scrapping zoo photos, I struggle to actually USE

I love Welcome, Winter and Winter! Me too. I think Steve Duncan made a really wonderful collection with Welcome Winter. Unfortunately, it's still too Christmassy for me (not one of my holidays), but EP's Winter will work really nicely for me. The pine trees are just trees, not Christmas trees. Thanks for the links again PaperAngel  |

Weirdly, I like all of these. I can see myself using bits and pieces from each and every one.

Day in the Life looks perfect for a month in review and I like the colors better than the similar Simple Stories one.
Animal Kingdom looks fun, especially the alphabet paper. I just wish they left the pink out.
The wedding one is pretty, but way too much pink for me. Someday, I would love a wedding one with navy and maybe woodgrain. We celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary this year, so I’m not in any rush.
The winter ones are pretty but similar to last years.
Gather at home is pretty, I like that it’s a general family one and not too theme specific.
Sunflower market is fun. I like the baking & cooking one, it just seems similar to others like Farm to Table.

I could use a piece from each except for wedding. I'll probably grab A Day in the Life and Winter. I like the Zoo one, but it is too close I actually think it has the same pieces just a different color) to a previous collection I already have leftovers from and it's more blues which work for me better. Plus we haven't been to the Zoo in years!

I can't believe I have to wait until October. *whiny noises intensify*

I like a couple of pieces out of these. The kitchen aid mixer paper is kind of fun, and I think the floral in the wedding line is really pretty, as are the pinwheels. That said I don't know that I'd actually use any of them.
I really wanted to like the Day in the Life collection, but I think I preferred the SS version even though I prefer a white base to my papers. The others didn't excite me at all.

Almost all are a pass for me, with the exception of the Steven Duncan winter collection (I love the colors and more subdued art work compared to the kid-focused winter collections in my stash). I may also pick up some of the Animal Kingdom line for past zoo trips and my kids’ baby books, love the watercolor designs |

I'll buy the Welcome Winter collection. I love all the dark blue.
I'll also buy the mixer paper from Sunflower Market.
There are some good B-sides in all the collections.

The sunflowers look more like daisies than sunflowers to me.
Love Welcome Winter and will definitely be picking up some of that! I like the Winter collection as well. I’m not usually a fan of florals, but I really like the Frosted Floral paper and the Snowy Sprigs.
Day in the life - I like the monthly title cards, and this would be good for monthly review or PL, but I despise that salmon color that everyone is using. I’d rather have a real pink (and I’m not a pink fan either). This is a maybe.
I like the greens in Gather, but I don’t have a need for this theme.
Animal Kingdom is a pass.

I will probably get all of these collection packs eventually. One of my LSS sells older/rereleased EP and CB collection packs for $10.99 (Canadian) and I stock up a few times per year |

I will probably look for the sunflower one because it will work good with a trip to the orchard ds & I took last fall when they had a sunflower field you could walk thru.
I love the zoo line (could also do without the pink, but its not as bad as other lines...) The card with the zebra sticking its head thru the word Zoo is annoying because it looks like "ZOG".
Winter ones are pretty, but I don't need them. Wedding is too pink, thankfully I have wedding supplies already before my sister's wedding this month. Barely looked at Gather at Home because I could tell its nothing I'd need ore use.
The day in the life is an interesting concept & could make a neat album, but I am not a fan of the color scheme.

I like the blue color in the Welcome Winter. Everything kind of looks like things I already own. Same here. Really like the blue and cream! |

CB Sunflower Market-When I saw the title of this one, I pictured big yellow sunflowers and brown colors. Kinda disappointed in the actual papers and pieces. Too farmhouse, too kitchen. There are a few cute things, but it's not at all what I pictured.
EP Wedding-Pretty. Don't need it, won't buy it.
CB Welcome Winter-Love it! Steven Duncan can pretty much do no wrong in my opinion! Great colors, and pretty patterns. And I like that it's a little more grown up, and not cutesy like a lot of other collections!
EP Winter-I like this one but not as much as the other winter one.
EP Day in the Life-This is ok. I like the concept of it, but it doesn't really stand out for me. Too much pink.
CB Gather at Home-Love this one too! The teal flowers on that floral paper are beautiful! Will definitely be getting that! And, just to be different, I really like that letterboard stamp set! Great for cards!
EP Animal Kingdom-This is fun. I would probably get pieces of it to use on zoo layouts, or pages about my niece and nephew. The colors are fun.
Thanks for sharing!

Nothing really grabs me. I might reserve judgement on "Day in the Life" until I see if other companies come out with similar lines. I really liked having a coordinating line to use for my PL this year, and would like to do the same for next.

September
CB Sunflower Market - I like the mixer paper and the chicken paper
EP Wedding - Pretty, but that is a lot of pink. I'm going to one of my best friend's weddings this month but I don't think her wedding colors will work with this.
CB Welcome Winter (by stevenduncandesigner) - Really nice blue plaids and I like the greenery. For some reason my Christmas photos have as much blue in them as red and green, so I really like blue winter papers.
EP Winter- I love the color palette and the pretty white floral.
October
EP Day in the Life - The colors are nice but I don't do daily/monthly pages
CB Gather at Home - I'm a sucker for green leafy lines - that floral is lovely
EP Animal Kingdom - I love all of it. The watercolor animals are wonderful.
So I'll probably get a few papers from each of these lines. There is also one snowflake stencil I want.
The only line I want all of it is Animal Kingdom.

It's always yellow/green/brown. It gets boring when that's all they ever do! |

Echo Park is usually pretty meh for me and then I stumble upon it at TM(or I should say I used to), or during one of their big sales and then I would buy it at a very discounted price. But these new lines I'm actually loving and willing to buy straight out of the gate! I actually like each and every one of them. Which is really odd.... Great job EP!!

Even the new Fancy Pants Halloween collection has a coral/pink. So true; coral is the "new" pink! I don't mind it, but I know a lot of people do not like the pink or the coral. Coral/blush has been the dominant "pink" in so many collections recently, I was a bit surprised the new EP wedding collection uses a proper pink! I expected more of the same blush/coral of late... |

It is nice to see a zoo collection with a little different palette. I scrap a lot of zoo photos (I love animals) so it is nice to see the variety. The more I look at this line, the better I like it. I can't wait to scrap with it. |

I like the coral/pink but have a hard time using it in collections when it's paired with goldenrod shades that Maggie Holmes uses. They're both also in SS Safe Travels.
