SS has been my go-to brand recently as nothing in the scrapbook world has appealed to me lately. These collections are not my favorite though... I don't like that brown color they used in two of the collections (kind of a baby poop color), or that goldenrod yellow... Bits and pieces from multiple collections will probably end up in my house anyway because I have to refresh my stash with something... |

Why are travel lines always based on browns?
I like some of the colors but there's nothing I really need to have (or don't already).

There are a couple papers from retro summer I like the B side of. Nothing I’m going to be pining for. The rust color is a drag.

I got excited to see a few trains in the travel collection, will probably pick up a few pieces of that. Otherwise a bit too much retro and that gold/brown color in the new SS collections for me.

Oh look! More goodies!
Strawberry Festival is big here in Florida. If I have any photos left to scrap, I may get a little bit of the Berry Field collection.
Retro Summer reminds me of Beaches and Cream at Disney's Beach Club Resort. I know I have photos that will work for this collection.
I don't have a use for the Boho collection, but it is cute.
Thanks for sharing!
Edit: I missed the travel collection. That one is a toss up for me. I think I would need to see the color scheme in person before making a decision on that one.

I don't mind the colors in the travel collection but it always seems like it's for a VERY specific trip. The naturals tell me road trip, seeing the sights, maybe going from National Park to National Park... which doesn't match the planes or random Eiffel Tower. Boho is a no ty for me. I like a few B-sides like that diagonal stripe but otherwise I'm good. Retro Summer with that yellow  I like a few of the cut aparts like the 'summer' and 'i scream you scream' cards though not enough to buy an entire sheet. And vintage is another no. I'm safe from the April releases! lol |

I like the travel collection - I need more travel stuff like a hole in the head though....but trains, hotels, and nice usable neutral colours!
Boho Sunshine isn't for me and neither is Retro Summer
Berry Fields - I really like but wouldn't use much of...maybe the basics paper and either the cardstock stickers or a pack of ephemera...

I love it all, but not really any use for the berry fields. Seriously. When it comes time to pick, I will be more selective, but I think there are parts of the other three collections that I want, if not all of them. I will try to be restrained though and not buy it all.

Simple Vintage Berry Fields is pretty. Love the colours and all the B sides. Didn't need the blue chicken, but I could see using this one alot! Why are travel lines always based on browns? I was disappointed in Here & There, too. 1. way too brown. 2. and busy. Reminded me of G-45 and I never did figure out how to use that. 3. I was hoping from the title that it would be more like an everyday--car pooling, grocery shopping, going to work, for coffee--and not a travel line at all... |

Boho and Retro lines are not my colours or my style.

Retro Summer - I like the ice cream paper & the die cuts in the page pieces pack. My son's first job was at an ice cream store & I have pics so I would likely pick some of this up for that.
Simple Vintage Berry Fields is pretty but I don't really have a use for it.
The rest are a pass for me.

We strawberry pick every year. So a few sheets of berry fields, but the rest is a pass for me.

Retro Summer is lovely - Kelly Bangs is one of my favourite designers. I already have some digital printables in this line from her website and love them.

I really like Boho Sunshine! Not your usual bright colors. More.muted with nice color combos and patterns.

I like the travel line but some of the ephemera seems a bit cartoonish to me. I don't really like that look. The other lines don't do much for me and I really don't have a use for them either. Oh well....less to buy!  |

Why are travel lines always based on browns?  My first thought too! It's extremely retro to the earlier Simple Stories where everything was darker. Overall, I like a few pieces from each line, but not one will be a snap/buy-it-all purchase. |

I like the idea of Here + There but I don’t like to color palette. It’s too dark and too much brown.
The other collections don’t appeal to me. I’m disappointed. I usually love SS.

We pick strawberries every year, too so I will probably get a few pieces. Most of the rest is unfortunately, a pass for me. Simple Stories is one of my favorite manufacturers but these collections have too much pink, mustard yellow and brown. The colors of Here & There could work for National park pictures, but as someone else said, the icons are mismatched for outdoors photos. eta - SG has 4 more collections up for pre-order. Flea Market, Simple Vintage Life In Bloom, My Story, and Wildflower scrapbookgeneration.com/preorders/Oops sorry, missed the other thread |

Berry Fields appeals to me the most, but I am sooooo done with vintage trucks with seasonal things in the bed.

Some of the icons in Here + There are incredibly overdone but overall I don't mind it, even the colour scheme. I might pick up one or two of the papers, most of the patterns aren't really things that appeal, and some of the embellishments.
Retro Summer and Boho Sunshine are cute but not entirely my style and while I'm glad the Simple Vintage lines exist for all those who love, I'm not one of those people and nothing in this one appeals to me.

Yep, I like some of all of these. My mind immediately tries to insert photos I have or will have to see if they click.

I would love the Here + There line for a fall trip.
I added a few pieces from the other lines to my cart. I like the Retro Summer for my childhood photos, but not enough to buy it all.

Here + There is a pass for me. I'll probably buy a few sheets from the Boho Sunshine & Retro Summer. I like most of the Vintage Berry Fields; it reminds of Daisy D's from the past. Thanks for posting PaperAngel. |

I usually like quite a bit of Simple Stories but these really aren’t doing it for me. Maybe a few b sides here and there, but no embellishments or whole collections. A big bummer since it was usually my style and good go to. Now, I don’t need anything, so….

We are doing a European cruise this summer with stops in Norway and Iceland and Here and There looks perfect for that trip. I like the color scheme. It doesn't feel too dark for meand I think the icons will work well for our trip. I will probably buy duplicates of a bunch of the papers and I almost never do that anymore.

Love the colors of Boho Sunshine, not the images. But I like the stamps and images of Retro Sunshine.  Thank you for posting. |
