*NEW* Simple Stories - June release *UPDATED

Trail Mix! I like the color palette for an outdoorsy type of collection. It looks fresh and different than some of the other similar themed collections. I will definitely buy this one. I’ve been disappointed in all their florally butterfly collections lately so this is such a nice change.

Edited to add: this reads a little more feminine than a lot of outdoor themes which will be great for Girl Scout photos in particular, love the badge icons.

Vintage essentials - this one is going on my wishlist

the others - I like pieces of them and might get if I come across

I like Trail Mix a lot. I can see myself picking this up to freshen up my stash of camping supplies. I like the addition of the brighter colours. It makes it look a little more whimsical and fun.

Simple Vintage Essentials reminds me so much of Prima Cartographer, which I have but have not touched. I might pick up some of the embellishments to help me make use of the Prima papers.

I can skip The Little Things, nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't wow me more than paper I already own.

ETA: I will definitely be picking up the Color Vibe letter sticker books and the wood grain alphas. I use their letter stickers frequently and they're a pretty good value.

Simple Vintage Essentials - I don't like this as a collection (too dark/too much black), but I do like the pieces individually! I will pick up some of the paper (particularly Authentic and Noteworthy), the Bits & Pieces, foam alphas (LOVE these!), and stamps.

Trail Mix - What a fun, slightly vintage, color combination! I was expecting dark blues/greens/browns/yellows, but these colors are a bit brighter and I will pick up all or most of this collection. We don't camp, but we do hike, forage for mushrooms, explore nature preserves, and make camp fires often. I wish the canoe was a paddlboard or a kayak, and I could live without the 70s station wagon, but other than that, I love it.

The Little Things - I really like this collection, too. It's an everyday collection that will work well with a lot of my photos. It does have quite a bit of pink, but the periwinkle blue and grass green are good compliments, and I like a lot of the motifs. This isn't a must-have for me, but I will probably add some of it to my cart when I buy Trail Mix.

Thanks for sharing!

Trail Mix will be on my wish list. It will be perfect for all of my camping and Girl Scout photos I need to scrap.

The other two are a pass for me. Thanks for sharing!

From the sounds of it, I'm going to have to pre-order trail mix. I love almost all of it.

I was hoping for some Disney.

Maybe July.

I don't remember what month it came out last year.

I love the TrailMix alpha packs.

For a line called Color Vibe, it is drab AF.

Simple Vintage Essentials is very tired. I like the black ledger and will probably add this to my wish list but nothing else really appeals.

The Little Things just falls flat for me. I'm really tired of overblown roses and fruit and use of the word bloom. I don't mind the camera paper with the black leafy print on the b side, but everything else is a pretty easy pass.

I don't do camping/other outdoor activities that fit with Trail Mix, but I'm glad so many others are excited for it. I quite like the patches and a couple of the b sides, but doubt I'll pick any of this up.

I don't mind the colour scheme on the Colour Vibe but other than the enamel dots it doesn't really appeal to me.

I snort-laughed when I read your comment!   I was excited to open that link, and when I opened it, I was very confused. Why use such ugly colours for a collection called Color Vibe? I guess 'sadness and disappointment' is some kind of vibe....? 

Ah, that makes sense! I didn't know there was another earlier collection, so I was very confused.

They've been pushing out the Color Vibe products for a while and they are gorgeous colors.  I think this round is just the new color line they are going to add to it. To me it looks more like it should go with the Garage line from Mintay. I would love those brown ephemera pieces though.

Their new designer for the past year or two has been leaning heavily in the Maggie Holmes style and that floral is no exception. Even the purple color is dead on from the MH Flourish collection, as is the squirrel.

I like pieces of the Trail Mix collection but not as a whole (too much pink).

You're so right. I’m not a big Maggie Holmes fan and I think this is why I’ve been so irritated with Simple Stories and their grandma florals and butterflies. It’s not their usual aesthetic. There are plenty of other companies doing that look.
