It looks like Fancy Pants is releasing four new collections for Spring 2023: Prairie RoseHoney & BeePink MeadowsUniquePrairie Rose has a Sassafras Lass feel to it and I love it! I will pick up most of this collection. Honey & Bee is soft and lovely. I will pick up a few of the papers, the alpha stickers, and one of the ephemera packs. Pink Meadows is a miss for me. I really dislike the typewriter paper and the pinks are too soft. I will probably pick up the enamel dots, but nothing else appeals to me. I love the colors in Unique, but the icons don't work for most of my scrapbooking. I don't do vintage, so the typewriters and old cameras don't appeal to me. I like the enamel dots, alpha stickers, and the True Blue paper. Is anything on your wish list? |

I really only like their cutesy lines so I know I'm not in the marketing pool for these because.. ooooof. I don't like papers where you can tell where the break is with repeated patterns and a lot of these papers have that. Some of the two tone B-sides look nice though. The bee line is.. fine? It looks like the decor aisle of Michaels threw up but I like the bees themselves. The ephemera of headless women holding baskets was.. a choice lol Also, "happy girls are the prettiest"?  Grosssssss giving me "you'd be prettier if you smiled" vibes. |

The ephemera of headless women holding baskets was.. a choice lol What the truck?? I'm sorry, but that looks awful. Whatever possessed someone to do that I cannot fathom. I am just going to be the party pooper, I don't like any of it. Too pastel, too meh. Wallet is safe. To echo what others have said, thank you craftymom101, I really appreciate you posting this. Even if I don't care for it, it is fun to look and I love the new line threads! |

I like a few sheets here and there, but overall nothing is being added to my shopping list.
Thanks for sharing!

I'm trying to keep an open mind, because I keep saying I want something different, and then something different comes along and I don't like it. I like the horseshoe paper in Bloom and Grow, but I think I have one that's very similar in my stash already. Not too fond of the hairy buffalo head in the ephemera, and what is that red thing on the bottom row supposed to be? The other three lines I tried to look at each paper and think how I could use it, and I can't imagine any of them in my stash... I love bee stuff, and not even Honey and Bee grabbed my wallet and said buy me  |

I don't see the Sassafras feel, but the colorways are different than the typical pink on everything, and I like that. Probably won't get any of them, but glad Fancy Pants is still in the game.

I really like Prairie Rose - I see the hint of Sassafras in there, too. Really love the floral ephemera pack. If I didn't just recently get a "country" collection from Hip Kit during the Black Friday sale I would get some of this one.
Honey & Bee I'd want to see in person to see how saturated or pastel the colors really are. It looks like something the Junk Journal'ers would love. There's definitely an audience for the body parts ephemera in the JJ community.
Pink Meadows is a hard pass.
The Unique enamel dots color palette is lovely.
I like that they've increased the product types they're offering in each collection.

I don’t care for any of these. Not enough papers or embellishments. Patterns on papers are too big for my liking.

Nothing I want to give space to in my scrapbook room. I also don't get 'Sassafrass Lass' from any of it? What am I missing?

I have a similar paper to this (dark blue, pink, and red flowers) with a smaller sized pattern made by Webster's Pages. I think this is pretty but I don't really *need* anything else.  |

TFS! Overall, I find this release too stereotypically feminine, old fashioned, & floral with insects (e.g. bees, butterflies), floating icons, unappealing color palettes, repetition (e.g. exact same honeycomb pattern on the reverse of Pink Meadows' Pressed Flowers & Honey & Bee's Wildflower Fields), etc. Nothing from this release is added to my wish list. |

I like a lot of the papers from these collections but the embellishments wouldn't be useful for me. I just can't use a bull or a rooster.

I was excited to see Fancy Pants back in the game, but none of these collections speak to me. I don't use florals very often.

I'm really disappointed in all of these, none of them appeal at all. The designs are just far too vintage looking for my style, or are just not the types of designs I gravitate towards. I'm glad some others are finding pieces they like, and definitely glad FP are still making collections.

The collections are not my style. I did place 2 papers in my cart for the B sides, a wood grain and a chicken wire pattern.

I like Pink Meadows but probably because it's a lot like other papers. It kind of reminds me of MME, and Pinkfresh, and even a little 49 & Market. I probably won't buy it but ya never know. The others are not my style but glad to see different stuff.

This doesn’t feel like Fancy Pants to me and it is not cool enough to ever pull me towards the Sassafras feel. When I think of FP, I think clean, fresh colors, graphic designs and everyday useable. While I appreciate how pretty these are, nothing represents or feels like me or my life. I miss lines line Park Bench or Yellow Door, if I did some digging, I know there are others along that line. I am disappointed that Fancy Pants seems to be going in the direction that already has plenty of players.

I think I want the Prarie Rose Paper pad for my someday recipe album. The rest are okay. I like papers with more of a masculine feel.
