I'm in the minority, but trail mix is not my style. I'm not a fan of the pink. I'm normally not either, but where I live it is quite dry, and not very green. I have some awesome photos of The Great Salt Lake where hints of pink work really well. I don't know if you remember The One Canoe Too (or however they spelled the company name) line that was for the outdoors. It had Navy, sky blues, and some pink. Heavenly.  The mustard yellow and dark orange work well too for the dry landscape photos. |

Trail Mix will definitely be on my list to scrap the many, many Girl Scout camping trip photos I have for my DD.

i will be passing on the April & June releases.
i loaded up on Flea Market & My Story but these just don’t appeal.
Little Things reminds me a lot of a Carta Bella line. No camping, hiking or outdoor activities for me, so that’s an easy pass. The vintage line with all those browns really make me sad. I inherited a lot of vintage photos and I would need (more) medication to scrap with all these dull colors. The Boho line is cute but i don’t have to have it.
Simple Stories is definitely one of my top 5 brands these days.

But, I definitely don't have a shortage of outdoor collections and it seems like a lot of people do like this one. And it's different from previous collections, so that's a good thing, even if it's not my style. |

Simple Vintage - more brown. I like the patterns but I already have quite a bit of vintage-y brown. However I do like the alphas, esp. the cream. The Little Things - maybe a coupla sheets of pp. Looks similar to lots of other lines. Trail Mix - I like it but really have no use for it. Color Vibe - probably pass. Thanks PaperAngel. |

I love Trail Mix but unfortunately don’t have any use for it. With color vibe there’s buttons, are they coming back? Or have been been back and I haven’t noticed?

I think the buttons being released with collections again is a fail. I don’t see them being used as a trend. If they’re trying to bring them back, it hasn’t worked so far. Buttons are also such an easy thing to find out in the wild (not in scrapbook stores), even by color. So I find this addition an odd choice.

Simple Vintage Essentials - I like a couple of the papers, but not the whole collection. The chipboard metal hardware is appealing- I might get that.
The Little Things - Nope, not for me.
Trail Mix - I don't camp but I walk in metro parks several times a week. I'm going to get a few pieces of this collection because I love the palette.
ETA2: Color Vibe - I really like the wood stuff. I might get the dark buttons.
Response to comments people made:
Bingo cards- I actually play Bingo every Monday night so I'm excited to actually use all of those Bingo cards I've collected over the years.
Buttons - I still use buttons regularly. I bought a couple packs from the last Color Vibes collections. I just like them as a non-themed embellishment when I don't have embellishments to match a paper.

I love Trail Mix and I want an excuse to use it but I feel like it is more “summer camp/Girl Scout” themed and I don’t have kids or any older pictures of me that would work. I love outdoorsy collections and this feels very nostalgic to me though. I never got to be in the scouts or go to summer camp but I really wanted to-the icons in this collection would have been heaven for me as a kid! Maybe I need to ask my sister to take pictures of my niece in her Girl Scout uniform to justify it and live through her!

Thanks for sharing!
I love Trail Mix. It reads very pink, so I will have to evauluate how much I can use it. The Trail Mix stamps though-100% I am getting those!!

Thanks for your responses. Overall, I find this release too stereotypically feminine, floral, &/or retro/vintage. While I appreciate the non-themed Color Vibe collection, I'm not interested in either Boho or Darks, don't use washi/buttons/florals, already own various sized punches/dies to create basic tags/labels/hearts/stars/arrows, & have enamel dots in desirable colors. Nothing is added to my wish list.
