Life in Bloom is very pretty but I don't know how useful it would be to me.

Really like the colour scheme of Life in Bloom - that milkshake pink is my favourite

Eh, they are pretty but nothing I would use.

very pretty but not really my style I do like the basics and the gingham though - they're making it on my maybe list
6x8 isn't my size so no interest in the binders

They are both easy passes for me. Life in Bloom is pretty but not my style.

That is the first vintage collection that has caught my eye. I may grab a few sheets of that one, just to try out a new style.
But later! I am only at 2/50 layouts so far. Added to the shopping list!

Life in Bloom is pretty but not a color scheme I'd use so it's a pass for me. No use for the binders either.

Their 6x8 binders are my go to for mini-albums, I just ordered one this weekend in a teal color. Love the purple option.
The new collection is a big pass from me. The vintage is not my style and I don’t like those colors at all.

"Life in Bloom" - oh the gingham! Love it. Also the pp that looks like typewriter keys. Thanks for showing us PaperAngel.

Love the purple and coral albums, but I wish the lime was mint instead. I will definitely get a purple one, maybe the coral.
Life in Bloom is lovely, but don't "need" it.
tfs!

Of the added ones, Boho Sunshine and My Story are the ones I'd be interested in.
There's a lot of cream being used, in lieu of white, which is not my favorite. I tend to steer clear of creamy neutrals.

My first thought- how did you do the links? When I copy and pasted it took me right back to this page. I'd like to know for further reference.
Simple Vintage Life in Bloom- Very pretty colors but you can really tell the previous designer is gone. The style seems old- not vintage, more like scrapbooking 15 years ago. It feels a lot like K&Co. I really like the solids and ginghams and a couple of the papers are gorgeous- particularly the camera one. I'll buy bits and pieces of this.
My Story - the colors are okay and I like the book paper but the rest isn't very interesting. I was hoping to like this one better.
Wildflower - This is done with My Mind's Eye, and it looks it. I do miss scrapping of the past but My Mind's Eye was never my jam. I'm not a fan of the colors- I'll pass.
Flea Market - Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I love this. I want every piece of it- so many good icons. The colors are pretty and I adore the paint-by-number painting.
Here + There - I really like the travel poster paper and the big striped one and the colors are beautiful. I don't really need much of this theme but I'll buy a couple pieces because the b-sides will be really nice to work with.
Boho Sunshine - Are we not over the wonky rainbow yet? And the bicycle with flowers in the basket? I do like the 70s theme. I also am a fan of the mushrooms and plants. I'll probably pick up a couple of the papers.
Retro Summer - I like this one. Pretty colors, mid-century modern feel. The foam titles are nice and, although I'm not really a fan of ice cream papers in general, I think I would use this one. I also like the motel diecut. I'm picking up the stencil, too.
Simple Vintage Berry Fields - Hate the colors. Green is my favorite color and that green is just ugh. I don't understand why it is so tightly themed- strawberries are on every single piece. They did this with the lemon line, too, making it hard to work with, even though the colors were beautiful. I like the one piece of paper with the strawberries in the corner but besides that, just no.

These companies are making it really easy for me to stick with my goal of using up my stash.

Why, thank you for enabling me further, PaperAngel. I want something from every collection, haha. Love the different icons, love MME... I want that giant mountain scene paper for the Shimelle class this week. I will just write Simple Stories February release on my shopping list. 😊

None of the vintage lines are for me but that book shelf paper from My Story!! 😍 All my books are digital but I love the bookmark cut aparts in the tag page too -- love the colors of this entire collection but a lot of the ephemera seems to be more "the life I wish I had" vs the life I actually have. Small town with old buildings and a local coffee shop? Too bad I live in the suburbs lol I like some of the papers from Wildflower except the creamy non-white base always throws me off and means the rest of my stash doesn't fit in color-wise. That dang vintage mustard yellow strikes again with Flea Market! This line is something I completely and utterly can see Leilani from Leilani_Scraps using in her Project Life Overall pretty meh and not for me but some of those pieces from My Story are definitely going into my wishlist!

Will pick up some of the enamel dots but that is it. I have a lot of paper for DD with my PinkFresh grab box so I am good there.

I like bits of each - more of My Story than the others but overall they aren't for me - and I don't care for the yellows at all (I like yellow - just not those yellows). I might put the wildflower stencil on my wishlist and some pieces from the other two. Thanks for tagging me PaperAngel

I kinda love Wildflower - it's definitely not what I am normally attracted to, so I'm not sure how much I could actually use it. If I did have it though, I can see it working beautifully with some autumn photos.

I love Wildflower. I like the embellishments in My Story more than the papers so I will reserve judgement until I can see it in person, I am unsure about Flea Market. There is something I like about Life in Bloom--I will try not to pick all of it up, but some I will. The camera paper, and maybe the less floral sheets.

I really like Flea Market. I actually go to flea markets pretty regularly so it could be fun to pick up a couple of pieces of this to document my finds! Thanks for the tag PaperAngel

I like My Story and will buy some of it. Wildflower is a bit muted. Maybe I need to see it in person. Flea Market's color palette doesn't appeal to me. I kind of hate it.

Is it my eyes, my computer, my bad mood? Everything looks dull and like it needs a good scrubbing... Like everything was dulled down with grey... Maybe it is the specific cream they are using as their base, so colours are not as crisp as with a white base?

My first thought- how did you do the links? When I copy and pasted it took me right back to this page. I'd like to know for further reference. ... I was confused by this comment until I noticed your thread. On the Create Thread tool bar, I clicked the Link button (ie world with paper icon) that prompted a Create Link pop-up box. I typed a link title in the Text field, then copied & pasted the URL from the desired page into the URL field. Lately, I've noticed links on this site glitch; initially they often direct me to a company's home page, but a second attempt links me to the actual product.

So glad for new binder colors. I use these for travel albums yearly and I don't really like repeating colors I've used before. I don't think I've got anything close to that coral.

Love the purple and coral albums, but I wish the lime was mint instead. I will definitely get a purple one, maybe the coral. ... As scrappyrabbit suggested upthread, Simple Stories binders are available in robin's egg (ETA:...& in stock at SB.com & ACOT). HTH. ... There's a lot of cream being used, in lieu of white, which is not my favorite. I tend to steer clear of creamy neutrals. Same. Plus, the cream base often varies among (& sometimes even within) SS collections. Per recommendation (probably on a past thread here, although uncertain the source), I've found that Bazzill Vanilla (not French Vanilla) cardstock matches the cream with the pinkish undertone used in SS collections.

I really like Simple Vintage Life in Bloom. I don't know if I have a use for it but it is seriously calling my name. I like the camera paper from Flea Market but other than that, not much is interesting.
