I love the color palette too! I find if something has a different color scheme I want it even though I don't need it!

In. Love.  It's not one of those head-over-heels kinds of love but a solid, grounded I-know-I-will-easily-use-all-of-this kind of love. The colour palette feels so nice. Gender-neutral, appropriate for all ages and a large spectrum of memories to document. I adore the inclusion of several orange tones as a pop. It really changes everything up from the usual yellow to go with grey and green. That soft shade of peachy orange is especially nice in this line. And I'm praising this palette despite the fact that it contains quite a bit of my most disliked shade of green (pear/chartreuse-leaning). That is saying something! Some of the sentiments are meh like "authentic" (no, just no) but I don't really care because of the inclusion of others like "I make up the rules", "just feeling happy", "this never gets old", "worth the hype", "mood booster" (yes, yes, triple yes), "risk taker", "freshly brewed" and many more. The thematics are so fun and different: sports/working out, vacation, staycation, food, drinks (eeeep!), nature, reading. I'm really impressed. You can use this for a lot of different stories. Very well thought out, Geralyn! Double thumbs up. Don't get me started on the icons she chose (besides the bicycles and cameras  ). BBQ grill, gin bottle, beer, pine trees, books, etc. I'm going to need a lot of this line... It's gotta be Geralyn, right? Yep! It's confirmed right there in the blog post you linked: |

It's not one that would grab my attention at first, but looking at it further it's very, very usable. It seems like it would just be a workhorse of a collection. I signed up for the PinkFresh event and I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with it.

Beautiful colours! Those greens and blues! Those icons and phrases! Perfect! TFS, kitbop! |

Geralyn continues to knock it out of the park. This is another line that is so completely useable and versatile -I think I will need doubles of each piece,
Love, love, love!

Yes, love this! It’s so versatile and I want it all. 😁. Really love, love, love that diagonal plaid. I quit buying multiples of papers a long time ago, but I will make an exception for this line. So awesome that it’s not super themed. I wish more paper companies would take note.

I dont love all of the papers..some of the repeated patterns are just TOO large for smaller scrapping. But they've got great b sides! Looking at you big chunky stripes 😍

At first glance I was underwhelmed, it seemed quite boring. But looking closer at the larger pics of each paper and embellishments I can see this collection is very usable. It has colors that will match a lot of photos, good sentiments and neutral images that would work for plenty of occasions. So while I'm not excited by it I could definitely see myself buying some.

I like the colors and some of the papers are quite nice. I do appreciate the versatility of it.
I also appreciate that the phrase is: "Today is a great day". Instead of "Best Day Ever". Of course, then "Authentic" has to be included and ruin it all.
I'll probably pick up a few pieces of this line but I'm not in love with it. I do like Pink Fresh because it is really challenging for me and makes me step out of my box.

LOL -- of course right after I posted in the organization thread that "... I rarely ever buy collections...", I come here and see this one to make me eat my words. I was expecting to not like it, as I rarely ever like the PF lines, but  I can see I'm going to need this collection. Incredibly versatile and usable! Even some of the papers with icons I don't care for have great "B" sides! And blues and greens are my most-used colors - love the color scheme! |

I really like this collection. The embellishments can be used for a wide range of layouts/pocket pages which I really appreciate. I will definitely get the 6x6 paper pad and embellishments as well as the dots.

This is my favorite Pinkfresh collection among those revealed so far (ETA: Delightful & Good Times) due to its cool color palette accented with orange/coral, abundance of geometric patterns, & no theme or florals! Added to my wish list are Have Fun (for both the text & wide stripes on the reverse), Worth The Hype (for its bold diagonal plaid), & Chill Out (for the simple orange plaid on the reverse) papers, plus the puffy stickers & enamel dots. TFS. |

It actually looks new and fresh instead of same old

The papers are not my favourite, but I tend not to lean towards geometrics so I'm not surprised. There are a couple I quite like, the tag paper and the cut apart sheet both look really useful. I like a lot of the embellishments though and think I'd get a lot of use from those. My only minor grievance, I wish the banner sticker didn't say "mister fix it", but it looks like there are lots of really great usable pieces that I'll be adding to my wish list.

Pretty much all of this including the Mr fix but realized I could use for dh but before that I was thinking of myself and my adults dds for the collection. I’ll want pretty much all the embellishments and skip most of the papers. I’ve never purchased this brand before- where would I go to preorder it? |

how thick is the cardstock? Gorgeous quality. thicker than doodlebug, AC and Echo Park. Not as thick as 49 and market. It has a slightly less "smooth" feel to it than Doodlebug or Echo Park but it's not textured at all. |
