I love it! I really like the brighter feel of this one. Her last two Christmas collections had a more traditional color palette with her own color twists popped in. This one seems happy and brighter, more intense color. The deer are super cute especially!
I agree it seems really early for Christmas releases but I think there have been ISSUES with AC getting all of the items for collections in time for releases. I’m wondering if the early reveal of this and Paige’s line is so they can get a better handle on ordering and demand to make sure they have enough before the season. It’s not as big of a deal with a line that isn’t so specific (like Print Shop), but stinks for a Christmas one. I’m taking Vicki’s Where to Next workshop and the poor thing STILL doesn’t have the albums in from AC. She had to push back the class dates because of it. 😞

I love Vicki, and like this collection, but I don’t use a ton of Christmas supplies. I would at least get the Thicker phrases and a couple pieces of the paper.

It’s not for me. But I can see a person like Leilani Scraps using this and making cute pages!

I agree with all that it is too early for Christmas lines! AC isn't the only one doing it. Photoplay released theirs also. I assume it's because a lot of companies had trouble getting their stuff last year and a lot of Christmas stuff wasn't in stores until right before Christmas! And then probably didn't sell very well.
Anyway, like others, I like some of it, and other pieces not so much. I usually like Vicki's collections a lot but this one just doesn't jump at me. I like the paper with the trees and the one with the envelopes-including the plaid on back! But, even the tags are kinda ugly and that's usually my favorite!

I remember Vicki Boutin’s christmas collection was deeply discounted as soon as it hit the “shelves” at ACOT last year. |

It's ok, there's some pieces that I don't mind, the album is nice and neutral enough that it would work for my warmer weather, I don't mind the colour scheme, and I really like the alpha. I typically gravitate towards cleaner colours and patterns for Christmas, but depending on what else is released between now and when I'm putting my kit together this year I could see including one or two things from this line.

Oh my gosh, I love this one. The deer, the mice, the poinsettia, so many cute things. I love her papers, too. I really like her saturated colors- I find her papers really easy to work with.
I don't usually buy the washi tape in collections but I'm buying this one.
I usually love her Christmas collections, except for last year. I thought last year's was a dud. But I'm definitely buying this one.
I think there are a lot less papers in this collection than previous releases.
And slightly off topic - I bought her last paper collection and thought the papers were thinner than usual. Anyone notice that?
