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.

Trail Mix Love it. Simple Vintage: too vintage and too brown. I have so much brown vintage-y paper already that I need to make myself use... The Little Things is sort of blah to me themewise, and the colors/icons are very Maggie Holmes. ETA: I looked closer at Trail Mix and decided maybe I don't love it as much as I thought I did. The floral bunches are kind of not my thing (I have a ton of florals from a previous SS line that do not appeal to me at all and I don't know why, something about that shade of pink they keep using)and they're EVERYWHERE. Kind of sucks because SS was my go-to brand and whatever style they are going for lately is not my thing

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!

I'm in the minority, but trail mix is not my style. I'm not a fan of the pink. The Little things color palette reminds me of the Cocoa Vanilla Storytime. I might pick up a few pieces like the strawberries & cameras. Simple Vintage is a pass, too. Simple Stories is usually one of my favorites but the last couple of releases have not excited me. The trend seems to be towards pink and flowery, away from the bright colorful collections they usually do in the summer. The colors seem more muted and subdued. I feel like AC already has this style covered, so I'm a little disappointed. Just my opinion, I know other people really like them.

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!

Holy heck, Trail Mix!!! 😍 MUST HAVE!!!
There are a couple sheets I like in the middle line - the berry b-side on the cut apart is really cute.
I can’t believe there are bingo cards in the vintage line. No thanks! Had enough of that already ! 😂

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 just saw the Color Vibe release and I am really drawn to the Boho colors. The Dark colors are not appealing to me as much, but I do think if I separate those colors and use them individually, they are beautiful. I love the foam alphas, enamel dots, alpha stickers, and dot papers.

The only one I am sure I want is Trail Mix. I want all of it, including the stencil. Well, not the stamps. But all the rest of it.
I don't like the Vintage Essentials at all. Wait. That's lie. LOL. There are 3 papers I could see using mixed in with some other stuff for pages about my Mom's career as a teacher & principal. I would have to look around & see if anyone gets open stock; my two main sources tend to only do collection packs. I love the clipboards but that is way too many in the pack. I do love the alphas, the rub ons, and some of the other embellishments.
The Little Things: Some lovely papers. Again - not sure there are enough to warrant buying the collection pack. Love all the embellishments & the card kit.

I love Trail Mix! I'd probably find it a bit of a challenge to work with that colour scheme, but I do love the colours, and appreciate seeing something fresh and new in a camping line.

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.

Simple Vintage Essentials is definitely masculine, but kind of lacking in a range of colors. It could be awesome if you have some older photos you want to scrap. I'm thinking some of those 70's/80's photos that have that brownish tinge to them.
I usually buy the whole pack of anything camping/hiking. I'll probably pick and choose for this line. Still pink on a majority of those papers. I do love the rest of the colors.

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

I did too! 🤣 I think their intention was to add some of the darker tones from their papers to the original Color Vibe core of colors (which are all bright or neutrals). The name just doesn’t translate well for this individual release.

For a line called Color Vibe, it is drab AF. As ScrappingMe indicated, this release is the latest addition to the existing Color Vibe collection (including seasonal, wood, lights, brights, bolds, basics) seen HERE. HTH.

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.

Not a fan of the new colors in color vibe, but I love the woodgrains. The washi and alphas are definitely on my wish list.

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).

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.

-Simple Vintage Essentials- IN LOVE with one of the papers. Like I want to buy multiples and actually remind myself to purchase soon rather than put it off and eventually forget. -I like the subtle polka dots on the color vibe paper, not sure on a lot of the colors. -I like the brighter than usual color scheme for trail mix. I have so many in this theme though! Very tempting to get two or three papers because of the uniqueness.
ETA: That truck with the camper!! Oh, the memories from my 80's childhood!
