Have we talked about this? It came in my email today. I love yellow and high contrast. I love some of it and not other bits. www.simplestories.com/collections/simple-vintage-lemon-twist Sorry, posted too quick. The yellow and teal is tricky, especially that bright, saturated yellow. Some of those patterns are just too much with just the yellow teal and black. I feel like mixed with more of the neutral white (or is that cream?) it works better. |

I love this collection. For me, it's the lemon theme I am not sure what to do with. I bought a bit of it though.

I bought some of it on the first go around. I've used a few things mixed with other papers/collections. I like a lot of it, but agree that it is very strong all on it's own!

I love this collection! I have no clue how I would use it though, so I bought the washi tape to put on the envelopes of cards I mail out and called it a day.

I bought some of this on pre order and I don’t even buy sets of stuff. I really liked the colors. I can’t even remember what all I choose now except the stamps, the small patterned paper book and the brads. There was more, though.

I bought this the first time it was released and LOVED it. For me, IRL, the colors were perfect. I used it on a Mother's Day brunch LO, a birthday LO, made some cards with it...it just felt really fresh and vibrant. I didn't get any of the 12x12 sheets, just the 6x8 paper and a bunch of the embellishments. I'll probably pick up some more.

I've put this collection in my cart so many times but never bought it. I'm not drawn to the vintage look and having an entire collection with a lemon theme wouldn't be useful to me. I see a lot of beautiful layouts using this collection, though, and that's probably why I keep trying to buy it.

I used this collection in a class to make a mini album. I didn't choose it and I probably wouldn't buy it for myself but- it is very pretty. I haven't finished the album and I haven't put any photos in it yet. I think I'd prefer black and white photos unless I had the perfect occasion that worked with the theme.

I loved the colors and bought this a while back (maybe on pre-order?). Teal is my favorite color and I love it with the lemon and black! I didn't buy the whole collection but I bought a fair amount of it. Even though I think some of it is a bit busy for my taste, I actually do have plans to use it for scrapping some of my photos from Italy/Amalfi coast/Capri. I apparently loved taking pictures of the big fat lemons on lemon trees all over the place (interspersed with olive trees and grapevines...ah! such a life!) But the trees were all over the place - courtyard gardens, backyards, random hillsides, great orchards full of them, even decorative tiles & signage. So, yeah I'll use it! (All that said, I haven't scrapped those pictures yet, but I'll be ready when I do!)
ETA: I'll probably use the really busy prints in small doses here and there as accents. I chose individual papers so I didn't buy a lot of the busiest ones.

I see a lot of beautiful layouts using this collection, though, and that's probably why I keep trying to buy it. Me too! I almost pulled the trigger a few times, but then second guessed if I’d even find it usable. I envisioned doing a mini, someone I follow on Instagram (maybe Layla?) did a very sweet project. But what pictures would I use? Anyway, here’s a second chance to pick this up. Still conflicted! |

I have to ask myself if I'm buying something because I think it's pretty or because I will actually use it. |

I caved and bought some of this the first time it was released (and sold out quickly). I’m typically not a fan of the vintage, and don’t need lots of lemons, but I absolutely love the color scheme and want to encourage more of that (no pink!!!). The B sides are really great. I’m glad to see they did a second run for those who missed out the first time, or want to add to their collection.

I do not gravitate toward vintage, yellow (my least favorite color), fruit, or butterflies, but appreciate that a popular collection is available again for papercrafters who missed the original release.

I love lemons, and aqua but I couldn't figure out how I would use that paper collection the first time, so didn't get it, and now it's back...
Are they going to rerelease other collections? Was this one that popular? I'm kind of baffled, honestly.

They re-released another collection not too long ago - the beach one, maybe? Or was it the cottage one? I don't recall. Crate Paper re-released Snow & Cocoa, so it's not entirely unheard of. |
