This is not one I'm in love with, I'm definitely over fruit in collections. I like the inclusion of the purple although I'm not sure it's a colour I can use, at least not this much of it. I'll likely pick up the floral paper and die cuts, and the tiny puffy alpha, although I may change my mind on some of the other pieces once I start seeing layouts with them.

Looks a whole lot like some collections from last year. DGD1 loves rainbows so will pick it up if anyone has it at convention but it really is more of the same to me.

I like the purple also - that's hard to find.
At first glance it reminded me of a Paige Evans collection - maybe the colours?

To me it's a Paige Evans mixed with Amy Tangerine. I like the colors, don't care for the fruits. I doubt I'd get the whole thing, but some stuff.

I like the color scheme, but I am just over rainbows at the moment. I may grab a few things to play with.
Thanks for sharing!

I'll probably get most of it. I love Cocoa Vanilla and I like the bright color scheme. I've always been a fan of their embellishments, too.
The peaches made me laugh, though. Too much like the peach emoji so I couldn't use it without thinking of the naughty meaning.

I like the embellishments and will probably grab the word package. I love the bright colors.
Could we get away from the bicycle element in every collection?

Those butterflies (top left) look like something that just came in a Paper Person kit. I think it was the School Days one. Will try to find a link.
Edit:
I guess they are a bit different.
I kinda like this new graphic butterfly moth trend. I think I first noticed it in a Halloween line by Pebbles (spooky).

I think all their lines look the same, just with slightly different colors.

The colors are little bright for me and I don't use a lot of purple. But that large rainbow paper is really pretty - it would look nice framed. Thanks for showing us Chinagirl828. |

I kinda feel like Cocoa Vanilla is already feeling same old, same old and they haven't been around that long. This looks the same to me as their other collections in these colors. It's a pass for me but thanks for sharing.

I absolutely love this collection and will buy it all plus duplicates of the ephemera. I love purple and this fuchsia shade is pretty. I agree with the rainbows being overused. Thank goodness for B sides of paper. Iāll definitely give away any theme-y bits to my friend. I loathe themed icons: fruit, bikes, deer heads, swans, sunglasses, zebrasā¦. I just donāt use things like that on my pages. My friend will happily accept them for her layouts.

This looks like a Hip Kit Club exclusive kit or even American Crafts, to me.
I like scrapbooking with bright colors so this collection is right up my alley. Yes, please!

Cocoa Vanilla is one of those brands where I don't think I need it, and then I see a page made with it and kick myself for not buying it...

Nothing from this collection is added to my wish list. TFS. ... At first glance it reminded me of a Paige Evans collection - maybe the colours? Same; IMHO it's the stereotypical feminine aesthetic, color palette, overabundance of florals, etc. I kinda feel like Cocoa Vanilla is already feeling same old, same old and they haven't been around that long. This looks the same to me as their other collections in these colors. It's a pass for me but thanks for sharing. Ditto. I prefer the classic/non-themed paper patterns from their previously-released non-(stereotypically)feminine collections with cool color palettes. |

No thank you.
It a pretty collection, but not anything that I would use.
I much prefer several of their past collections.

I love it soooooooooo much! š¤© š It's like she made it just for me. I left a pathetic begging post on the blog, asking her to offer it as a digital collection.

Apparently I only like their more masculine collections. Definitely giving off a Paige Evans x Amy Tangerine x American Crafts vibe.

It seems to me that they alternate between masculine and feminine vibes, so while the last release was all blues and stars, this one is more pink/ purple, flowers and butterflies. But all of their papers are so much fun to layer and play with.

I am not a flower or pink person, but Cocoa Vanilla always speaks to me! I like the bright colors. While the colors are bright like Paige Evans, the color combos and patterns donāt make my eyes bleed or trigger twitching like Paigeās collections do. It feels much more cohesive than an AC line. I will definitely be picking some up. Iām glad she does a separate flower die cut pack, because I can easily leave that behind.

I have the last 3 and they work so well together and make such nice pages. I love the aesthetic. I have 3 nephews so I'm always looking for nice masculine lines that aren't overly themed and Cocoa Vanilla never disappoints. Their feminine collections don't appeal to me near as much. |

I love color, but I don't care for pastels. CV has such great lines though.

Love this so much. And I love that they will also have a full ephemera package of just florals. Will definitely be adding to my preorder cart when this becomes available at ACOT.
