It's very cute! I like all the colors. I'd probably want to see it in person to get a feel of what would work for me. I think the cross stitched kit with the trees looks fun too. The enamel mini sweaters are so so cute!!

I like it. I am also signed up for her Sugarplum Wishes weekend in Colorado in November. I live locally so it is an easy yes for me to attend her event weekends.

She has the full reveal on her blog here which shows the rest of the collection. There is an album! So I don't follow who makes what. I just buy what I like, for the most part. So does this company also make Simple Stories? With the tag papers I would think yes. If so, that would mean that the album has a nice big spine. I used a Simple Stories album for DD a couple of years ago and it was great. Anyone know? This might just be my album. I love crazy retro florals and this one is all that. |

I’m not a fan.
Now, I normally like Paige Evans collections a lot better in person that photographs online. However, this is just a no.

Anyone know? … [ETA: bold is mine] No. Paige Evans is an American Crafts brand (like Maggie Holmes, Jen Hatfield, Vicki Boutin, Crate Paper, etc). Simple Stories is an independent manufacturer not affiliated with American Crafts. Note Simple Stories’ tag paper has versatile tags (ie blank/lined/grids with patterns from the collection as toppers) on the reverse, not another (floral) pattern. I'm unfamiliar with both companies' 6x8 albums (since I exclusively use 12x12). HTH. |

Yes, thank you. I think there are dimensions for the Vicki Boutin albums on ACOT so I will check there. So weird that I got quoted when I didn't post that. Just quoted the quote. Sorry. |

The papers are cute, but would really clash with our lack of anything feminine Christmas decor. I think it would be perfect for a tropical Christmas.

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.  Great idea on the shaker pocket! I like these and the cross stitch set, something different and kitcshy. I did a 70s tree last year and these papers would have been fun to use! |

It’s a no for me. It looks like stuff we’ve seen before. Plus I don’t like the childish look of it.

Cute collection but not for me. Way too much pink. I’m not a huge pink fan either (especially at Christmas) but I think there’s enough variety of papers to keep the pinks toned down. I just won’t buy those. A tiny bit in the dainty stripe will still pull it all together, I think. |

I quite like this collection. I’ve used Vicki Boutin’s Christmas lines for the past two years with the stronger lean towards traditional colors. I think this might be a winner Christmas collection for me this year!

Usually Paige Evan's style doesn't appeal to me but this collection has a few things that I like. Especially the alphas. Thanks for showing us craftymom101. |

I won’t buy it just because it’s introduced in April. Good grief! Give it a rest already. Although those mini thickers may get me yet.
