I received an email this am about the Create and Connect for September, and they list new collections in it!! YAY! I am trying to decide what to do here...I am not thrilled that the event is via Facebook, so not sure how to navigate that. I know some people suggested doing a fake FB name, but it sounds like they really want it to be you. Anyway, the registration sure comes up quick, as I just got the email and the registration deadline is June 12th. Gulp! I got on the Pinkfresh mailing list (thanks everyone for the massive enabling effort that resulted in my going down a Pinkfresh tunnel that I will likely never climb out of! ) and they had a live yesterday that I watched. I asked in the chat if the new release that was happening this Thursday (tomorrow) would include any paper, etc and this is the response. PinkFresh Studio @k Mage - this will be a stamp, die, stencil, and hot foil release. Not sure right now when our next paper release will be. We are struggling a bit with a paper shortage from our supplier. 🙂I was a bit bummed, but that is okay, gives me time to save up again lol. The scrappy budget is BLOWN but I got a bunch of stuff, including some of the older lines, yay!

That is a bummer about their paper supplier. If you want some more enabling, Hip Kit Club uses the same manufacturer as Pinkfresh for their in-house designs. I just picked up some more of their exclusive papers at the last Hip Kit Sale, perfect to mix and match with my Pinkfresh stash

I hope they get it worked out before the Christmas line is scheduled to release - I love their Christmas collections.

There's a worldwide paper and cardboard shortage. I remember for Crop and Create this spring the owner said that she could no longer get the white cardboard boxes because of the shortages, so she had to go with kraft coloured.
Hammermill cardstock has been sold out for months and months, although I think you can get some in the USA, I still can't get the one I want in Canada.
It's so challenging for businesses right now, I empathize.

I'm hoping they won't reveal their new holiday collection later than last year's. I just checked and we found out about Holiday Magic in late August! It was already close to the wire for PF back then. It looks like many companies ordered their holiday lines extra early this year so PF could find themselves out of the major purchase loop if they miss the boat.

I am torn. I would rather see new product a little less often, and available longer. That said, the paper shortage issues suck. I hope we can figure it out.
