Backyard BBQ is too photo-realistic for me (and we're not BBQ-ers anyway). Same wih Beaching sunglasses (and not being beach goers really)
Camping life - meh, I don't really care for the colourscheme and I have plenty of camping papers
Farm Life - not a theme I would use
Floral Blooms is really pretty - I like the water colour-y look. I think I would struggle to use it though
Hats off to the Grad - totally NOT my style and I don't have a grad this year BUT I LOVE that it's different than most grad collections and isn't the typical black/white scheme.
Hello Summer - meh - I like the yellows and the blues but hate that fushia/pink colour
Mexican Fiesta - not a theme I need
Officially Summer is pretty - I like the colours and the smaller scale prints. This one might make it on the wishlist
Plaid pastels - love the concept, the colours aren't my favourites
Springtime - gorgeous papers but I think they would be hard to use and would compete with my photos
Star Spangled- not for me
Urban Vibes - I really like this one although I wasn't expecting to. The sticker sheet is hard to see but probably not my style but I love the papers enough to consider adding to my wishlist
edit - I missed Vitamin Sea - umm...I love this one but probably won't buy it as I don't have beach photos and I struggle with photorealistic papers

Hats off to the Grad is fantastic. I love that it's full of color! I don't have a need for it so it's a pass for me. The camping line I LOVE-what a departure from the earthy tones we usually see! I will have to think on this one... There was another line that popped up when I was perusing these called Make a Wish: www.acherryontop.com/shop/company/reminisce/preorder/471434I really like the color scheme of this line, but it looks like it doesn't have a matching sticker sheet, which is puzzling. Reminisce has filled the gap for me a few times over the years with particular themes, but I never think to actively look for their new releases. Thank you so much for posting these! |

I clicked on the ones I thought I might have an interest in using first.
Springtime collection: Beautiful. Maybe good for single photo layouts.
Urban: nope. Thought it might be more authentic, but it's nearly comical really.
Hats off to the Grad: Seeing that I have a senior, and actually need grad supplies, I thought it would be a win. Nope. It's like color run meets graduation. How would I even use that? It would be like having a wedding collection done in the same style. Why?
Mexican Fiesta: I'm still up in the air about this one.
Officially Summer: not anything I'd use, other than the flamingo paper (for a zoo layout).
Floral Blooms: Where would I put a photo on that paper? Very, very busy.
Hello Summer: Blue, yellow, turquoise is nice. Those pinks are overbearing though.
Pretty much a total pass for me.

I really like the color scheme of this line, but it looks like it doesn't have a matching sticker sheet, which is puzzling. they seem to make eiher 8 paoers plus stickers OR 12 papers - this one has several different cutapart pages I noticed |

This line looks like it could be great for making cards with all those cutaparts (but then I would need multiple sheets of some of the background papers for matting). Then there is a page with border elements and some nice background sheets too-so it could work for scrapbooking too. But no stickers has me like ðŸ˜. |

Floral Blooms (*Kit includes 12 papers - 2 each of 6 designs) - I love this one.
Hats Off To The Grad - Oh my gosh, this is fantastic. I think I've scrapped all of my graduation photos but the b-sides on this will work for a lot of my stuff. Love it.
Urban Vibes - not what I expected but I kind of like it. I could probably use this.
Vitamin Sea - I really like this one.

I don't always like what Reminisce comes out with, but I'm always happy that they try to cover things that other companies do not.
I really wish the Floral Blooms was in a 6x6 because it would be gorgeous for cards!
I like some of the Farm Life, but I live in rural Iowa so it's fitting. Not sure I'll get it though.
I like some of the Springtime, but again, not sure I'll get any of it.
I like the color in the grad collection, but have no use for it. Nice to see something different and more fun though.
The rest are probably a pass for me, but I like seeing some different stuff out there!

I find some of their more realistic papers a challenge. I have used previous paper lines for beach and travel.
As others have said, they do a good job of creating papers that are more unique, but I didn't see and must haves.

The farm life one is so much more like "real" farm life around us than the more cutesy lines out there. Will be getting that for sure.
The Hats Off line is really pretty. And there are very few grad lines out there. I have one grad to scrap this year, so that one will be coming here too
The others I will see what my LSS brings in and pick up any of the papers I like on sight.

Not my style but a nice variety for those whose style it is.

I like the Mexican Fiesta set. I'm always on the lookout for Mexican & Spanish themed sets (Hispanic family) and there aren't many out there. I'll likely pick this one up.
I have mixed feelings on the Grad kit. I don't have a grad this year but I'm not sure that this would be a collection I would use. When my son graduated in 2020 I used a Reminisce set but it was the traditional gold/silver/black/white and I really liked it as his gown was grey/silver so it worked with his school colors. I appreciate they tried something new with the colors but I don't think it would work for me.

I really like the Star Spangled Spectacular. I'll probably order it. I like some of the papers in the Beach Sunglasses release but not enough to buy an entire pad. Most of the others were meh for me. Plus what's up with the Officially Summer collection? It's all black and dark colours, I'd never look at that and think "yes summer!" .

Thanks for your replies. Reminisce is neither my style nor offers papers by the sheet, so nothing is added to my wishlist. ETA: ...Plaid pastels - love the concept, the colours aren't my favourites... Agreed. I like the non-themed paper pack, but IMHO it's way.too.yellow (my least favorite color)! |

I preordered Backyard BBQ.
I was tempted by Urban Vibes but opted not to get it.
