Thanks Ryann, dawnnikol and marg! I bought a smattering of things with my mother's day gift, some Keeping it Real, Life Right now and Cool something or other. It all looks like it can kind of go with each other, so I am sure I can mix and match. Thanks! I have never had any Pinkfresh, it was kind of off my rader until I saw a LO online someone had done with it. None of the scrapstores in my area carried it and the stuff I saw online did not look that great. But after seeing this LO, now I think I need some. I see they have quite a few collections out, some of the more recent ones look interesting. Because I can only see it online, talk to me about what you really liked once you got it and what are any collections/items from collections you wish you had gotten more of or really enjoyed. I have a gift card to an online scrapstore and think this is what I will pick up. So Pinkfresh lovers, what should I get?? |

Keeping It RealSome daysHoliday MagicI don't own a lot of their stuff, but when IACB + KP did lines with them, I scooped them up. Then, last year they had an amazing release that I purchased in hopes of documenting our visit to Disney World during the holidays. Have fun with your gift card!

Their paper is thick - very nice quality that can hold whatever you want to put on top of it.
I find a lot of their collections to be very lightly themed. You can spot the theme if you look hard enough, but often it's just a thoughtful and well put together collection that can be used for just about anything. The fall collection Days of Splendor is lovely with only a subtle nod to the season. I also really liked the Let's Stay Home collection, just barely addressing the covid theme, but not really.

In Crop and Create a few weeks ago we worked with some of the Happy Heart collection and I fell in love with it. I just ordered the paper pack (we got most of the ephemera, etc in the class, but only a few sheets of the paper). It's very soft, which is very nice for spring photos and layouts where you want a bit of a dreamy feel. emiliechamel.blogspot.com/2022/03/pinkfresh-studio-happy-heartlife-right.html |

I have a serious Pinkfresh addiction and love almost all of it, especially the lines designed by Geralyn Sy of IACB (Let’s Stay In, Keeping It Real, Life Right Now, and Holiday Magic) and Kelly Purkey (Some Days). Days of Splendor, a Fall line from a year or two ago is also really nice. If you like flowers and pastels, the Spring Blooms line is really pretty. If you end up liking the paper, Pinkfresh usually has really good Black Friday and semi-annual Mystery Box sales  |

Office Hours (from a few years ago) was the line that turned me onto Pink Fresh. And I agree that the Mystery Box sales are a good deal.

Ooooh I really like Holiday Magic! Now that's my kind of Christmas kit. Barely any snowflakes, and lovely fresh bright colours.

Indigo hills is most loved collection from them (1 and 2 both). My favorite story was also an amazing collection. I buy alot of their products. They are my favorite along with my minds eye. Sadly my minds eye stopped doing scrapbook products. I have not seen any release from pinkfresh after 2 collections they released early this year. Hope they release new ones soon.
Also stalking their IG for scrapbook event they will be hosting. I resisted signing up for sct paper crafting event because I need to save for upcoming pinkfresh event.

My favourites are nearly all already mentioned (the Peas have great taste) but if you can track down:
- Indigo Hills (both)
- Days of Splendor
- Some Days (Kelly Purkey)
- Holiday Magic (should still be very easy to find in full)
- Boys Fort (the graphic papers, ugh, be still my heart)
You have the holy grail of Pinkfresh in my opinion...
Special mention to December Days (2017) which rocked my DD world for several years. I used so much of this line!

It's like I don't know what I like until 3 years later.... Except October Afternoon, I knew I liked that right away and have the stack to prove it, lol... |

Case of the Blahs is one of my favorite lines ever.
I don’t have too many specific brands or lines, but that one is definitely one of my favorites.

Have to wonder what on earth I was doing that day that I did not buy this. The fact that there is a sticker that says, "I like boring things" is amazing. www.peachycheap.com/shop/pink-fresh-studio-a-case-of-the-blahs-kit/9.99!!! |
