I have a mixed response to the papers, I really love a couple of them, but the rest I can live without although I really like the colour scheme, the shades of blue are pretty. The embellishments really speak to me, I especially love the foam titles and the puffy hearts and will no doubt pick up several pieces from this line when it is released.

I just think it is so pretty. I probably won't buy it. Because I'm mostly a pocket scrapper. But if I was still doing 12x12 this would definitely be on my must buy list

Blue is my favorite color, so this collection is very appealing to me. I don’t use butterflies much, but my 7 year old niece would probably love to use them for her art projects. I really love Traci Reed’s style and recognized it before I read that it was her. I use a lot of her printable collections, but I definitely miss having dimensional embellishments for some projects. I will likely pick up quite a bit of this collection.

I like it. The colors are muted and would go with many photos.

I actually love this line. I haven't said that much in the last year. I think it's the colors that do it for me. I also like the package of flowers.

Love it! The only papers I don't like are 1, 6, and 7. Will definitely get the rest as well as 6x8 paper pad, 3x4 cards, and embellishment pack.
The story behind this photo one is great.

I am a pocket scrapbooker and use the 6x8 and 12x12 papers to make pocket inserts and to back my 4x6 photos.
I love the pop of color and making my own 3x4 and 4x6 cards for journaling and embellishment clusters.

I think this will go well with Day Dreams and These Days if you have items left from those 2 previous lines.

I love the colours - especially the blue - and I think it looks super versatile - putting on my wishlist

It's really pretty. I've never actually seen Cocoa Vanilla products before and just before I read this post I came across them on a store website - I ended up ordering a few things from the These Days collection. I'm excited to see what they're like in person. I love the floral ephemera especially.

Another gorgeous line from Cocoa Vanilla. I love the blues, especially, but all of the muted colours as well. I don't use alot of florals, but the B sides of those are all perfectly usable. My credit card is still giving me the stink eye after grabbing up the NO LIMITS, so I won't be jumping into this one with both feet, but if I see Storyteller in a LSS I will undoubtedly come away with some of this collection. It reminds me of their Day Dream collection. I picked up a few 12x12 sheets, the 6x8 pack, and the puffy hearts for that one, and have used every square inch of it. jeremysgirl, check out their 3x4 cards for your PL pages. Beautiful graphics. Colours that work with everything.

I like this one a lot too. Loving the blues. But not surprised seeing how I'm a Traci Reed fan too. I really like her designs. That she's s scrapbooker herself, I think shows in the collections she creates. I will have to scoop some of this up.

I think it looks like a muted version of a Simple Stories line from a few years ago.

Love that cornflower blue color, hate that the pink is so dominant.
Beautiful collection, just not anything I would use.

I really like this but don’t have a need for it. But…the blues! I’m a blue girl!

I’m not usually a huge Cocoa Vanilla fan, but I do like this collection a lot! I’m liking the primary colors. What I don’t like about Cocoa Vanilla is that they reuse their patterns for almost every collection.

Love that cornflower blue color, hate that the pink is so dominant. Agree, although I likely will pick up bits of it. I’m glad to have Traci designing some physical products, both this and for EP. I haven’t really liked any Simple Stories stuff since she left.

I think it's beautiful. Funny, I don't see it as "pink" at all - I see more peach or pale coral, a shade of the brighter red-orange. It's like the dark blue and light blue combo. I especially like the stickers and ephemera for generic bits and bobs. I have to take a SERIOUS look at my CV stash however because I think this would be a like-but-don't-need collection. I'm trying to go into a freeze.

I love the colors it’s certainly a similar style but I love Cocoa Vanilla so I’ll probably pick some up if I see it online

I like this. The color combination seems fresh- I haven't seen a lot of lines with that color combination. I won't buy all of it but I'm definitely getting pieces of it.

Yes! Just waiting on setup information so we can make sure we have the right prices and such - they usually post it a couple of days after the Facebook/blog announcement.

I'll definitely be getting the A5 stack, but I'm not as keen on the 12x12 sheets. The only one I really like is the large floral with the blue on the back. It's a very nice blue. Isn't it? I might get two of those.
