Hmmmm... Berry Fields is more in my color wheelhouse, but I have a lot of similar, would probably still pick up anything with red in it.
The Boho and Summer seem too pastel/pink for my liking, but some icons are ok.
I may look to get some digitals when they go on sale.

I feel the same about these collections as the others. I’ll get a few papers, probably. I’d need to see most of it in person, I think.

Thanks for your responses. The new Simple Stories product - Floral Bits & Pieces - continued from the February release & appears in every collection. I don't gravitiate toward Berry Field's vintage aesthetic. Although I find Retro Summer heavily themed & detest the yellow, I like the versatile Sunburst Stencil. I typically prefer muted spring/summer color palettes, but dislike Boho Sunshine's rust/dark golden yellow/coral combination, wonky style, & tired/overdone icons. While uninterested in the overused travel icons/sentiments, I like the versatility of Here + There's earthy color palette. Enamel dots, plus all the stripes, grid, plus signs, & tags papers are added to my wish list. |

I picked up Boho Sunshine, Wildflower, and some of Flea Market (the latter 2 being released earlier). I love the retro feel and I am gathering collections to tell my stories. These papers and icons send me back to my childhood in the 70s and early 80s. I have a bunch of photos from the era to scrap. Flea Market reminds me of my grandparents. And I was sure to buy the paint-by-numbers inspired paper. I think we may have had that actual painting hanging in our dining room!
These aren’t papers I would use for my kids or current everyday layouts, but they are useable for me. And they are something with some different color schemes and feel. I find the vintage collections don’t match my style or subjects that I have to scrap. And truthfully I have enough vintagey-feeling, by-gone manufacturers lines that I love more.

I love the two summer collections, and I think I like the travel collection. Not interested in Simple Vintage Berry Fields, though I do like the Vintage Basics solids that are available, because I can use them as distress solid layout bases.
