I plan to get the first responder pack to scrap some pages for DS. He did safety town this summer and recently went to an event where he got to tour the fire station and see all the trucks.
The rest of it was the same old crud in my opinion.

Underwhelmed by all of it.
I'm tired of the majority of the Graduation lines, being black and gold.

There's a couple of b sides I might pick up, but there's nothing particularly exciting about anything in these collections.

Why on earth is Valentine stuff coming out so early?

I need more Valentine paper like a hole in the head, but some of the B sides on the CB My Valentine collection may go nicely with Homecoming pictures of my daughter's cranberry colored dress.

I may pick up some of the B sides in the Valentine's Day pack. I like how they focus on florals as opposed to having candy and random animals for the holiday. It is a lot more versatile.

My SO is a paramedic/firefighter and I was excited for that line but it is waaaaaay too childish, IMO. Nothing he does is “cutesy” and I feel like this line is over the top cutesy.
None of the other lines appeal to me.

That is a no from me. Not even the overly cutesy Firefighter paper.
They really need some new designers.

I don't like any of it. It is rare that I can't find anything in any line to like.

Thanks for showing us these PaperAngel. I really like a lot of the B sides, maybe a few of the birthday lines A sides. But I agree about the first responder line being a little too childish for the subject. |

I like many of the B sides in the Valentine collection - and I appreciate that it's a more versatile collection than many. Not buying it though unless I find it marked way down at TM in the future.
I'm a no to the rest

It's really bad when the one I dislike the least is the Valentine's collection...and I don't scrap Valentines. Admittedly the Graduation one is the only one I "need", but even that one I don't care for because of the tan/gold color. My oldest graduates this year, but his school colors are green and yellow so I can't see those working with that tan/gold. I could use more boyish birthday supplies, but that collection is way too young. I agree that they totally missed the mark on the First Responder line--change out the icons and phrases for birthday/school/etc. and I would still think it's too childish for anything I would need at this stage.

I was excited to see that one, too, but after first glance, less excited. My dgs is a firefighter and paramedic and his sister is talking about planning to train for EMT. Found some more relevant papers at my LSS from P13 You can be ANYTHING. That line is aimed at kids' choosing careers, but way less cutesy than the ep line. I might pick up the firetruck die, though. justjac, you NEED that tie...
I need some grad themed papers. My dgd will graduate in June, and she wants a grad scrapbook from me. Not over excited about the black & gold colour scheme, but it should work well with pic's of her and her friends. Better than their school colours that are maroon/gold/grey. I guess their plan it to each dress in a different primary colour. Her dress will be red!

I like the b-sides from the girl's birthday line the best, and some of the Valentine b-sides. There isn't anything from any of these themes that I would have a use for though, so I will likely just leave it unless I can pick up a couple of single sheets from my LSS.

I think the B sides of the birthday lines are very usable. The colors of the boy line appeal to me more than the girl line.

Sadly, I could use a lot of this paper on the B side.
Not interested in the rest.

I want to get this paper for the B side. I was hoping this line might work for my son's various medical appointments.

I have only a couple of pieces of birthday paper so IF I see this release I’ll probably pick up a few. The rest…no. What’s up with the drab graduation. Our girls had beautiful outdoor pictures in the sun down at the beach after their walks across the stage. It was the year 2020. No parties! Couldn’t the designers come up with some non-traditional colours and designs. But never mind, I have so much paper I can find something🤣

What a boring collection. I did like the teeny tiny flowers paper in the Valentine collection though  |

It's all very generic, isn't it? Nothing stands out, nothing grabs my attention. I'm just not interested...
The best overall aesthetic is hands down the Valentine's Day line but it mostly reminds me of Echo Park's funny and pop culture-referencing Be My Valentine collection from... 2020? That one was good (although I don't think it was well-received on the board at the time).

None of these are themes I need. The birthday lines are boring to me. The one I like the most here is the valentines line because it seems a little more versatile than strictly valentines. But overall big pass from me this time around.

The graduation line reminds me of their Salutations lines that they have been coming out with. Mostly all cut aparts and geared more towards card makers. That's what I see when I look at those papers but I see it's not titled that way.
As with many of you, not excited by any of it really. Normally I don't like Valentine's collections because they are soooo pink, but there are a few different things in this collection that caught my eye. Probably won't go out of my way to look for it though.

Just a thought for you if you haven't seen it before. link |

Thank You! Much more fitting! Great colours and grunge! Love it😀 |

Nothing really grabbed my attention. I do wish the grad themes wouldn’t be so blah as I need some. And the boy bday just isn’t usable for me. I’m not a fan of the random characters.
