*NEW* Echo Park & Carta Bella - Q1 2023 releases

I have no use for Our Baby but liked the non-traditional colours

Home Run is awesome but again, not one I have a use for - although some of those blue B-sides...I do like that colour

Fourth of July - I like the B-sides

I LOVE Bee Happy - that one might get me to break my freeze

There's a lot of pink in Our Story Matters but I do love how versatile it seems - so many embllishments that would work for a variety of photos/pages. I'm adding it to my wishlist to take another look when it releases

Wow, that's a lot! Thanks for posting PaperAngel.
As always, I really like a lot of the B-sides, especially all the ginghams. I'm also interested in the CB cardstock. Wonder how it "feels" and if it's made in the USA.
EP "It's Spring Time" - liked quite a bit of this.
EP baby lines, liked a lot of the B-sides.
I like a lot of CB Steven Duncan's lines, but have no reason to buy the "Home Run" collection but might buy a few pieces of the "My Favorite Things" line.
No to the "Let's Go Travel" line; it's so dark.
Loved ALL of EP "Bee Happy"!
And I will probably buy several pieces of CB "Here,There,&Everywhere" and EP "Life is Beautiful".

I will for sure get some of the Home Run collection. I have tons of baseball games to scrap, but no paper to scrap with!

The little bees make me super happy. I may grab a thing or two from there.

When I look at the My Favorite Things line, all I can think of is the TV show Bridgerton. If I ever get a photo with the dreamy Duke, then I will look for this line. 😁

The only one I’m interested in is Our Story Matters but I don’t love its color palette.

Nothing is jumping out to me as a "must-have".

I like the baby collections but that is probably because my son's nursery was jungle/zoo themed. I have lots of baby collections (and my son is 20 now....but I still have lots of baby pics of him to scrap) so I don't really need this.

I also like the Bee collection but I just picked up a Photoplay Bee themed collection at the last Scrapbook Expo so probably don't need another one.

I love Echo Park and Carta Bella - the quality of the cardstock is very good. Bbbuuutttt ............Don't these look like what has gone before? They just don't look new or interesting -- IMHO..

Thanks for posting! I like dream big little boy.

I will definitely be getting some Bee Happy! So cute!

I like there is a gender neutral baby collection even if I don't love how much brown is in it. I also love the tiny star and heart prints on the b sides of the boy and girl collections, I may add some of these to my stash. The travel line doesn't appeal to me at all which is disappointing (although good for my wallet and my stash).

While there are some good basics across all these releases, I don't think there's anything here I have to have.

PaperAngel, thanks for all the fantastic links!

I generally love the offerings by these two brands. I have stamps and stencils of theirs that I use on a near-daily basis. There are definitely some big yesses for me in these collections! That said, more of this stuff misses the mark for me than is usual; with their stuff, I often find myself wanting ALL OF IT. I can live without a lot of this stuff (there is still a lot of it I'd love to have).

Yes, yes, YES to all that cardstock! I bought a bunch of it this past year and used basically all of it -- need more!

YES to bunches of those stencils! LOVE!

MAYBE to some of the dies -- love them, but have to check the sizes before I buy, because I have a compact die cutter and it appears that many of them are likely too big to be of use to me. I might get the stitched frames even if the biggest one is too big -- love those, but it just depends on how many of them I can use and what the actual price of them will be.

Yes to those gorgeous spring and summer stamp sets! I will have to prioritize which ones I really need -- I'm thinking maybe the Let In The Sunshine stamps and the ones from the Here Comes The Sun collection -- want them all, but I already have that need more than covered.

No to the gnomes. Jeez. I was over the gnome trend before it even got started, and I am really over it now.

I am considering the I will travel collection. It is not my usual color palette, but a lot of it matches the colors on the sailboat I cruised in and her sail covers, so some of it could work for the pages I have planned. This is the type of collection I need most, but I will have to do some cherry picking from this one. I generally avoid over buying anything with airplanes or destinations I haven't been to, so already that eliminates some of the items in this collection.

I also utterly reject the whole "collect moments not things" mantra, and some of these sticker packs have that featured prominently . You'd think I'd be the poster child for it, because I basically sold / donated / gave away everything I owned (except the scrapbooks!) to move aboard a sailboat and go cruising for 5+ years.

I've collected a lot of moments, but I've also come to realize that things do matter. That hit home after we sold our boat and owned nothing but the clothes on our backs.

I want to be surrounded by artsy clutter -- art supplies, stencils, tools, bookshelves full of books and scrapbooks, art on my walls, piles of quilts on my beds, and a museum's worth of antique furniture and curiosities. So I say "Collect moments AND things!" and a big middle finger to Marie Kondo and her tidying up nonsense.

And I'd rather not stick stickers that say "collect moments not things" on any of my pages...

Yay--a new baseball collection! Ugh--10 bucks says it's vintage looking based on the designer...yup. There are parts and pieces that I like, but I just don't like the vintage players. I NEED the baseball mom card!!! I will definitely get some of the papers that have green (one of DS's school colors).

I like the colors of the travel collection, but don't need the "world" part of it most of the time.

I was happy to see the gender-neutral baby collection because that gives me hope that they are listening to what people want (not a fan of the dark brown though...). So listen up--there are scrappers who DO NOT HAVE BABIES OR LOVE FLOWERS. Babies grow up into teens, we need usable collections for teens (that don't reference the 80s).

But most of it looked exactly like I expected it to before opening the links. I do appreciate the links to EP's website though, I enjoy looking at collections there instead of the store people usually link.

I really like the B sides of Dream Big Little Boy. I love the Bee line. Spring is my least scrapped season, so must of it does not interest me.
