Thanks for sharing this! However, this line is an easy no for me. I am picky about Christmas lines and the color scheme isn’t my thing. I don’t mind non-traditional holiday colors but this one has too much pink, purple, and teal, which don’t feel cohesive with the other colors. And, I think it has too many icons to function outside of holiday use. It is consistent with the Paige Evans aesthetic.

I absolutely love the colors and that yellow and purple have been included. I can see getting most of this collection (except the stamps - why are they still using acrylic?!).

@bsnyder there are pieces of this collection I will absolutely buy, and some pieces I don't think work well together. I have the mini alpha Thickers, number paper, tag paper, cross stitch kit, and the die cut pack with the glitter snowflakes on my wish list. I have no idea why I need the glitter snowflakes... I live in Florida and it doesn't snow here! Hopefully, I have some older photos from our trips to WA to scrap and I can use them.
The purple and teal are definitely throwing me off, too.

I'm a traditional red/green Christmas person and Paige's collections aren't really my style in general but there are a few pieces I like from this...primarily the PP that are red/green predominantly (and mostly B-sides). I do like the mini thickers as well

I'll buy some of this for sure. Love the florals, very retro.
Those trees you sew on are very interesting. Looking forward to seeing what people do with those.
And mini Thickers? Yes.

Must have the penguins in a sweater. I like the b sides a lot. I could see mixing it up and using some of this collection. I've never done a rainbow Christmas before. I'm so frickin' behind though. Not quite ready to think about DD yet.

I think I like this collection. This is one where I need to see the color scheme in person to make a final judgment.
I do love the little birds. So cute!

I can already picture the sewn edges and zillion die cuts in her DD with this paper! It's very Paige, I love it.

I kind of love it. It is beautiful. The alphabets are a must.
I’ll have to take photos without that darn rust colored couch in them….
(People are used to me bitching about how hard it is to scrap around that couch….)

My first thought was "Ooooh I love it..... which means the Peas will hate it!"  this one has too much pink, purple, and teal, which don’t feel cohesive with the other colors. My tree and decorations are pink, purple and teal, so I would definitely buy this as a digital kit! But you're right, it doesn't seem totally cohesive considering the other bright colours. Well, the pink and teal goes well IMO, but maybe not the purple. |

I love it! It’s so colorful. Really cute imagery and I like a lot of the smaller B sides and neutral prints (stripes, plaids) for layers.
I find a lot of Christmas photos with children are colorful because of the toys and packaging. I think this would work well for those kinds of Christmases.
I’d love to scrap my Barbie Dream House Christmas photos from my own childhood with these!
It’s very different than what we usually see. I think that’s why I like it!

It's early for a holiday release reveal! Except for Bazzill, I don't gravitate toward American Crafts brands. This collection is no exception due to its bright red/green/blue/pink/yellow/orange/purple color palette, icons/florals, cheap acrylic stamp set, etc. that seem dated. TFS.

i love bright the colors! this would make a great mini album for my grandchildren. it’s like doodlebug grew up! The colors and the icons harken flashbacks of early 2000s Blue Clues for me. This line would have been great for when my children were young, but these aren't the colors of Christmas for my household anymore and it is a bit too cutesy, too. That said, it is different, and so many are looking for paper lines that break out of the same-old, same-old. I am glad so many seem to like it.  |

For my cardmaking my first reaction is YES! I love the colors at first glance, it’s bright and cheery and a little bit different. I didn’t look at every detail but pretty sure I’ll get papers and maybe ephemera. I’m learning that it’s more fun for me to craft with colors that make me happy |

It's very true to Paige's style and I like that it's a bright and happy line even though I likely won't pick anything up. She has the full reveal on her blog here which shows the rest of the collection. I kind of like these enamel jumpers, and think they'd be adorable in shaker pockets.  |

I love it. I love Paige Evans' style, though. Last year I was really into traditional Christmas colours and only bought collections that had a bit of a classic feel with deep greens and cherry reds. This year I'll go brighter with this collection, most likely. I love the tag paper, the candy cane paper, the florals, most of the icons are cute, the mini Thickers are great. I'm excited to see the sample layouts. I love this! I was just able to sign up for a Christmas album taught by Paige at Frank Garcia Studios this September. I can't wait!! That's exciting! Please share your album if you can!! |

For some reason this appeals to me, which is unusual, I almost never get any of Paige's collections (Vicky Boutin or Shimelle's bright has been more my style). I like the images, they seem more versatile rather than being associated with a specific collection.

I was excited by the title, but it's a little too bright for me. I was hoping it was more pastel. I love a pretty pastel pink Christmas line.

Wha---what? A Christmas line already? The snow is finally gone from my yard and I am not looking forward to next winter yet.
I can see that some of this might be fun to make Christmas cards with. And I like the little nesting doll image. To use when scrapping Ukrainian Christmas.

How are her stamps as far as quality?
I might pick that up. It reminds me of how I used to draw Santa as a kid and what he looked like in the 80's.

Dd does an ugly sweater every year so I am always looking for new items to use for both her pocket page scrapbook and the DD layout. |
