It felt like flipping through last year's catalog. I wish they changed things up a bit, if only the color palette.

Underwhelmed. They also spelled hamster wrong in the Pet line (on the sticker sheet).

It felt like flipping through last year's catalog. I wish they changed things up a bit, if only the color palette. This was my reaction too. At least switch the tones a bit. I am wondering if it has something to do with they way it's printed as far as requesting colors and such. Maybe cheaper to stick with certain colors?! The only thing that stood out to me was a couple of the sunflower paper designs in Homemade. Otherwise it's a pass.

I was pleased to see a more inclusive pets line (not just dogs and cats) -I know people have been wanting that.
I like Homemade and Day in the Life as well as Gnome for Christmas and Welcome Fall. I don't really dislike any of them but I do need to not overbuy what I won't use

Hmmmm
The Halloween and Christmas/Winter ones are all literally copy and paste. Pass.
Fall Fever is cute, Welcome Fall seems super boring to me.
Little Boy seems cute, will have to take a closer look. Pets seems cute, underwhelmed with the color palette though (lol about the hamPster misspelling though!). And I like Homemade.

I like the plaid pumpkins and blues in Fall Fever and I also like Homemade color palette.

I quite like Day In The Life No. 2. I might buy that one if/when it's released as a digital kit.

I like the solid colors in Spooky, but the patterns are very similar to others they've done.
LOVE the Plaid Fever in the Fall Fever collection and the polka dot/leaf pattern paper in Welcome Fall.

I appreciate you posting this!
I am glad I only want 4-5 sheets of the paper and nothing else. I really like their solids. After I go through my christmas stash, I'll see what else I need.

Wow! I think a lot of us could have predicted most of this release, down to the themes and colors. Blah.
The scrapbooking industry has become predictable and boring. Every manufacturer should fire their designers and hire new talent. Not because their designs are bad, but because they are stale.

Okay, feeling a little CP vibe with the Halloween collection! I love all those bats and will definitely be picking up some of the papers and embellishments. Oh and the stamp sets. And the stencils from the second Halloween collection.
I almost always go with EP's Autumn line and will grab some paper for this years trip to the pumpkin patch and Oak Glen picnic.
Will definitely get the Designer Stamp Pet set.
I like some of the Magic of Christmas embellishments. LOVE the snowman in the stamp set but don't think I will pay for the entire set just for the snowman.

I'll probably buy some of the embellishments from a couple of the lines. Other than that underwhelmed and same stuff, different collection.

Those EP Christmas lines were all interchangeable, I can't remember anything from any of them other than green and red. I like the blue in Steven Duncan's, and I'm glad to see his long legged reindeer appear on a couple of papers.
There were a couple of patterns in the Homemade line that I like a lot, and I loved the shapes in cloud pattern from the Little Boy collection, that felt like something new.
Overall though there's not much here that I really feel the need to own.

These all look like rehashes of EP and CB old lines, but the older lines were better in my opinion, esp the Steven Duncan collections (eg, Little Boy = Toy Box; White Christmas = A Very Merry Christmas; Hocus Pocus = Haunted House; Bon Voyage = Let’s Cruise).

Excited to see the Bon Voyage line. We are taking a cruise this summer and have one booked for next summer also. Just hate to wait until October for it to come out.

I loved being able to flip through the collections. Thanks for posting the catalog PaperAngel. I love Fall Fever. I actually used up most of my fall papers last year, so I may buy that one. I also like Homemade, but I've gone a little overboard buying farm kitchen papers in the last couple of years, so that is a no for me.

Stand outs for me: The dark blue in the Hocus Pocus collection! What a great add. Really stands out. Spooky-the stacked Jack O Lanterns on the sticker sheet, and in the ephemera are cute. Fall Fever-Plaid Fever paper!!! AMAZING! Also like the tractor paper and the sunflower die. And the die set with the squash! That's different! Letters to Santa-Santa's mailroom paper. Also like the minty color added. Snowed In-I like this for some reason. Homemade-I like a lot of this! Especially the Background floral stamp! Day in the Life 2-I like this but wish it was different colors. Why pastel? Why pink? Blah.
After all that-I probably won't buy anything except the Plaid fever paper and maybe the background floral stamp. Nothing else really excites me enough to buy.

I really like the colour palette in Fall Fever. I think I only "need" the plaid paper and the floral though. The rest of the collection is cute but I still have some fall supplies to work through. Like Chinagirl828 , I feel like the Christmas lines all look alike and I still have one or two in my stash so nothing there is new or exciting to me. I think Simple Stories and Vicki B will have any $$ I spend on Christmas paper. ETA: I don't mind Day in the Life, and if I decide to go with a single paper line for PL again next year, this might be a contender. It's generally not my preferred colour palette, but I like the icons and could definitely make it work.

Well, we don’t have fall or winter here so while I like some of the individual papers, those are an automatic pass. I wasn’t even tempted to buy any full collections, but there were some individual papers and embellishments I’m going to take a closer look at. I like the plaid pumpkins and blues in Fall Fever and I also like Homemade color palette. I do like the blue addition, there is one in one of the Christmas lines as well.

Underwhelmed. They also spelled hamster wrong in the Pet line (on the sticker sheet). That is hilarious to me. Who says “hamPster”?

Like many of you, I find these collections repetitive, predictable, & formulaic. The only products added to my wish list are the bold plaid paper (Plaid Fever/Fall Fever; p. 16) & asterisks stencil (Simple Snowflakes/The Magic of Christmas; p. 29). The same or similar of everything else that I remotely like from these releases already exists in my inventory. ... ETA: I don't mind Day in the Life, and if I decide to go with a single paper line for PL again next year, this might be a contender. It's generally not my preferred colour palette, but I like the icons and could definitely make it work. See also the initial Day in the Life released in October 2021 (ETA: & still available - e.g. SB.com & ACOT). Hmm...the link isn't working for me. It says to check back soon. I googled it, and this link might work. I'm not sure why the other one would stop working. It appears the manufacturer has removed this catalog from its website. Perhaps it was posted prematurely or (ideally) the company is considering customer feedback, correcting misspellings, &/or updating themes/icons/sentiments/color palettes. Thanks for the issuu link; see updated OP.

Zero interest in any of it, but thank you so much for sharing. It's nice to see sneak peeks. Also, LOL at the hamPster misspelling.
