I used Shimelle’s Sparkle City to make 8-10ish layouts with photos from a trip to Seattle. It was the perfect collection for those photos! I only wish there were more products in the collection. After those pages, I felt like I had exhausted the limits of the included embellishments.

Any other unique collections you can think of? I also remembered Photoplays 2 national park collections. Yellowstone and Grand Canyon. Those are cool. |

I thought that 49 & Market Spectrum Sherbet was quite unique for recent collections--I liked how versatile it was and all the different sub-parts to the collection. I also like how it gave the flexibility to go monochrome with layouts or to combine the different colours.

I thought Simple Stories Simple Vintage Lemon Twist was really unique. I’m not usually into the vintage and florals, but that color scheme of yellow and turquoise with black and white was too gorgeous to pass up, especially in our overly pink/peach world.

American crafts “ Chap” - wish I had bought 2 full sets- still have a very few scraps and stickers left
Pinkfresh “escape the ordinary”- bought 2 full sets and it’s all used to scrap a trip we took as a family to USA
October Afternoon- every Christmas collection - still have some of all and can’t quite bring myself to cut into it
Am also quite liking Pinkfresh’s new one “ simply the best”- waiting on a parcel of this

I thought that 49 & Market Spectrum Sherbet was quite unique for recent collections I nearly cried with happiness when I found out that Katie did a digital version of Spectrum Sherbet!  I thought Simple Stories Simple Vintage Lemon Twist was really unique. I’m not usually into the vintage and florals, but that color scheme of yellow and turquoise with black and white was too gorgeous to pass up, especially in our overly pink/peach world. I just googled it, and it's a gorgeous colour scheme! I had to think about this question, and work out what does "unique" mean to me? I think it all comes down to the colours, first and foremost. I am particularly drawn to non-traditional colour schemes, especially in Christmas kits. Some of my favourite Christmas kits are these: All is Bright - Tracie Reed Christmas Cheer - Becca Bonneville Christmas, But Hot - Humble & Create Never Stop Believing - Cornelia Designs (retired kit so no link) July Jingle - Humble & Create (retired kit, so no store link) Christmas In The Sun - Jocee Designs Candied Christmas - Katie Pertiet Warm Wishes - Kim B Designs Christmas In July - The Digital Press design team Colorful Christmas - The Digital Press design team December - The Digital Press design team Wonder - The Digital Press design team Peppermint Twist - Gina Miller And these halloween kits in non-traditional colours. We don't even really do Halloween here, but I still bought the kits recently because I loved the colours. Afraid - Erica Zane Hocus Pocus - Traci Reed (traditional colours but muted) Birthday kits It's My Party - Humble & Create Your Day - NBK Designs Songbird Papers and Elements - Paula Kesselring. I bought this recently, because I thought the colour scheme of pink, orange and blue was different and lovely, and the elements were quite unique.. Okay sorry, I went a bit overboard here hahaha!! |

I just made a layout with Sparkle City. I've pulled that collection out quite a few times. I miss the Shimelle lines. My favorite one I've used lately: Prima's Luna Halloween collection. I love that it uses pink instead of the traditional orange, green, and purple. LunaI really like when manufacturers step out of the box with fresh color schemes. I've mentioned this line before but I really appreciate Stamperia's Bauhaus. BauhausI've never seen anything like it before. |

Agreed! I bought this kit the instant I saw it on Peachy Cheap this year. What I have enjoyed seeing are the mini kits Simple Stories seems to be pursuing. I am thinking specifically of the new At The Park and Pets lines. While the main At The Park kit is reminiscent of previous Disney lines with the color scheme and iconography, the mini kits that coordinate for each land in the parks offer something new and unique for that particular area. I hope they do something similar for the other parks Disney has. Same with the new Pets collection. The main kit features fish, hamsters, bunnies, etc. All new things to my stash! And the mini kits are the more generic cat and dog kits we have seen before. I like having all of the options. And I have no idea why, but Photoplay's Birds of a Feather I wanted immediately. The colors are crazy bright, but those goofy birds... love them! |

AussieMeg that collection “Christmas, but Hot” is also a perfect SoCal Christmas collection 😍😍 artbabe Luna is really pretty but with a nice mix of the spooky. If I was in the market for a Halloween collection I’d be all over it. Ryann I like that the fancy pants Halloween collection could also be used for regular fall layouts as well.

I’ve only used it once so far, and I used it for a fall layout. I thought it turned out great! |

I made 8 pages with it for a New Orleans trip. And 4 more, I think, for New York. It really was a great collection! AC was so stupid to let her go. I cannot stress that enough. One of my very favorite collections was Indigo Hills 2 by PinkFresh, with those beautiful denim blues. |
