I like the papers for Hello Valentine and Farmhouse living - lots of versatility there
I don't really need more birthday paper right but I LOVE that Salutations is gender neutral and that Birthday Boy actually is also once you get past the packaging - the cut-apart cards etc...aren't specifically BOY. Since that's something I've been complaining about as my girls prefer those colours to the pinks...I'll probably pick one or both up

I like Farmhouse, I have no use for it, but I like it...
I have stopped buying birthday paper lines and just use the birthday child/adults favorite colors... I had to do this for my birthday layouts because everything says 'you or your' on it instead of 'me and my' and I decided to do it for all birthday layouts. It has eliminated the whole "girl/boy" paper issue (and I have two of each.) So, while I like the colors of the "boy" line, I probably won't buy any.

I like the birthday boy line, it's cute. I imagine people have lots of birthday pics of younger kids and fewer as they get older. I wish, though, that once in a while there was a teen/ adult birthday line.
I like the Salutations line, too.
The Farmhouse one is pretty, but how many farmhouse collections do we need? I know farmhouse decor is super popular and I'm sure you can use some of these lines for family & home. However, for me personally, I don't need any more farmhouse collections.

Easy pass for me on all of these.

I like that Birthday Salutations is a more grown up line. I have so much stuff already, though, so I will probably pass.

Bless their heart, EP keeps pumping out new collections constantly. I am grateful that they keep the scrapbook industry alive. But unless you are a new scrapbooker it's deja vu all over again baby because the collections start to look the same year after year (except for sometimes Steven Duncan).

I really don't need anything but I think I have to buy the farm one. I visited my family's farm in WI every summer growing up and we are hoping to go back next year. And there's a mention of a WI farm on one of the papers that I just have to have!

I am an absolute sucker for any Steve Duncan designs
It’s the colours I think- the blues and greens particularly
I like all of this farmhouse line- mostly for the b sides but they are fab

Why do I always love the farm designs? I love this one, too. I have no use for it! I live in the city.
I like the B sides of Hello Valentine.
The gender specific birthday lines are ok if you have very young children. I like the Birthday Salutions paper, but I really don't need it.
I'll probably buy a few sheets of some lines.

I want to like the Salutations, because the concept is a good one. And, I've liked the previous salutation lines. But, this one is just a redo of the CB birthday line from last fall. Same colors, same balloons, same confetti. I know, because I used it to make a mini album and some cards! So if I got this, it would essentially be more cards of the same style/color.
I like the Farmhouse collection, but I have no use for it so I won't purchase that either. The Valentine's collection is just another same old, same old in my opinion.
I like the cute little animals in the kids birthday lines, especially the pink elephant in the girl collection. I might pick up a few pieces of that for layouts of my niece.

I am also glad that the farmhouse line is white and NOT cream!

I like that Birthday Salutations can work for adults! It can be hard to find birthday stuff that isn't really juvenile looking.

The valentine's line doesn't really float my boat. I don't mind a couple of pieces in the farmhouse line, but overall it's not a theme that fits well with my photos or my life.
I like the animals in the birthday lines but nothing really appeals to me enough to actually buy it, except perhaps the blue with white stars b side in the Salutations line.

I like the farmhouse collection a lot. I wish I could say that I needed it. I'm sure I could put the b-sides to work, but I'd rather grab my b- sides on the cheap instead of full price.

I love Farmhouse Living, and will probably be tempted to buy it if and when it comes out in digital format (which it probably will).
The birthday kits are cute, but I just don't have any use for them.

I want all the paper in the Farmhouse Living line! It's been several years since I tried stencils in scrapbooking, but I really like the country floral stencil.
I have plenty of birthday papers right now. I really do like some B sides of the Valentine's line.

That is a lovely farm line (my fav I've seen I think) with the white background, but I just cannot come up with a use for it. I know EP likes to repeat their tried and true themes, but I wish they would try adding a more "city" or "city/suburban" theme and see how many takers they get on it. Aren't there more of us that can use something like that? (And by "city" I don't mean Paris or the shopping lines. Or a literally "downtown" line.) Maggie Holmes latest line had that farm/county fair theme and while that was cute too, I just don't have anything in my life that can fit that.
The birthday lines are cute, and the "boy" line can even go gender neutral, which I think we saw in the last EP boy line too. They do keep managing to come up with some cute things, and if I was new to scrapbooking with very little kids there would be some winners here for me.
I'm sure I will pick up pieces of these here and there, but wished they fit better with what I need at this time.

I wish that the ugly pink wasn’t so prominent in the girl birthday - why does it have to scream pink!
I really like the salutations collection, and the b sides are great!

Don’t care about valentines, or the farmhouse, and don’t need birthday. The only paper that stood out to me was the grayish wood grain.

Thanks for your replies. EP/CB themes/designs have become formulaic, predictable, & repetitive. I like some of the classic patterned papers (ie stripes, plaids, dots), but already have similar ones (from EP/CB) in my inventory, so nothing from this release is a must-have for me.
