The Showers and Flowers line is way too bright for me. I like that the Easter line has a more grown up feel to it, but I don't like anything enough to add it to my stash.

Bunnies and Bloom is adorable. And the only thing I like in the Showers and Flowers is the rain jacket paper… but I don’t have a huge need. Thanks for sharing!!

Bunnies & Blooms is beautiful. I’m not sure it’s something I need and will buy, but I love the soft colors and icons.

Bunnies & Blooms - grown up, vintage, soft colours - I want the papers at least
Showers and Flowers - I like the stamp/dies

No need for either of these.
I feel like Authentique did a similar Easter lines years ago & I think I still have some of that.

I like the carrot garland/banner sticker in Bunnies and Blooms as well as the bunny in the teacup stamp/die.

I like the design of the spring collection, but the color palette is way too bright. Photoplay kills me with their color choices. Oof.
I really like the carrot paper and the idea of the speckled egg paper, but not the execution of it.
Both collections are a pass for me.
Thank you for sharing!

I had a similar reaction, basically ‘these are new?’ Jumped into my head. That said there’s a few papers in there that I like: the plaid, the gingham, & the stripe from the bunnies & blooms collection ( I swear I have the pink roses & yellow with flowers already from somewhere ) and from the showers & flowers collection I like the stripes, the rain, & the picnic tablecloth plaid |

I like the Easter line, but have no use for it so it won't make it into my cart.

Thanks for sharing. Showers and Flowers is pretty. I don't mind the bright colors but don't need it, either. Bunnies and Blooms is really cute. The bunnies remind me of the classic Beatrix Potter illustrations. I like that Photoplay mixes it up and doesn't just offer the same theme, same color palette every year.

What happened to Authentique, are they no longer around? I really don't need more Spring and Easter, funny thing is I never take many Easter pictures. |

There was a notice on one of their pages that they were moving in March of 2021 and then they seem to have disappeared. Strange. |

Bunnies and Blooms is really pretty - I want this one.
Showers and Flowers is a hard no. There is just nothing appealing about it.

Thanks for the links! The Bunnies and Blooms is super cute! I love the stamps, dies and stickers but probably won't bite on them because I don't have much need for them right now. The Showers & Flowers is a really cute idea, but I don't need that right now, either. I'm mostly in the market to buy travel-themed stuff at the moment.

I pretty much thought I knew what Bunnies and Blooms was going to look like before I opened your link. Pleasantly surprised. Not at all my preference for colors, but I did like seeing an Easterish theme look different.

Thanks for your replies. Since I don't gravitate toward the vintage aesthetic, florals, floating icons, color palettes, etc. nothing from this release is added to my wish list. ... I like that Photoplay mixes it up and doesn't just offer the same theme, same color palette every year. Ditto ... What happened to Authentique, are they no longer around? ... Per this thread, it appears the company oddly & unceremoniously exited the industry under the guise of moving warehouses. |
