Oh my goodness, what is with all the Christmas lines so early this year? Aside from not being at all in the mood for Christmas themed supplies, this just doesn't appeal to me.
The Pickleball line is not something that's relevant but I'm glad they're still releasing these smaller niche collections for those who want them.
The Travelogue line is more appealing than most of their collections thanks to the softer colour palette, I definitely prefer the Michelle Coleman designed collections, but overall there's nothing in this that I haven't already owned.

Nothing from this release will be added to my wishlist. While I do like the color scheme of the travel collection, I have a lot in my stash I need to focus on using first.
And agreed, still way too early for Christmas lines.
Thanks for sharing!

Nothing in this release speaks to me. The travel collection seems to have the same tired icons of every travel collection. The Christmas collection is too bright and busy for my liking. And while I'm glad that they make collections for niche sports - we're not a pickleball family
Thanks for sharing

Really like the Santa Stop Here stamp and die set. Might grab that. I have several of their stamp/die sets and really like their quality and how they stamp.

The Travelogue collection is a big yawn for me.
I like the Santa Stop Here, but it's pretty busy. I do really like the red & green plaid paper.
It's nice to see a Pickleball collection, but I have no need for it.

Maybe I might get one of the Christmas papers, otherwise nope, nope, and nope.
I thought maybe I could use something in the Pickleball collection for tennis, but it's so pickle-y that it won't work.

I would pick up the travel collection (on sale) but… say it with me… im not shopping right now!! I wish it was a little less focused on air travel though. The other two are a pass.

The travel one is okay, but I don’t need or care for the others. It is good to see someone doing something for the lesser sports. I don’t scrap super themey, but it’s nice to at least have a few embellishments that can be added to a less themey LO.

I like the Travelogue collection and will probably pick up some of the papers, ephemera, and stickers.
The Christmas collections is way over saturated. The colors overwhelm me and I won’t pick up any of this.
I have no need for the pickle ball collection.

I'll likely pass on all of these.
I do like that they have a Pickleball collection (even though I don't play). It's nice to see new themes!

Off topic, but made me think of her, as she was usually the one posting all the new Christmas and Halloween lines as they came up......has anyone heard anything from sleepingbooty lately? I did not interact with her much but always followed her release threads. |

I am disappointed. The Santa Stop Here is a remix of one of their earlier holiday lines. The travel line is way off the fun colour scheme they usually use. I DO love that they are doing mini lines for different sports, but no one I know plays pickleball.

The Travelogue line looks nice. I like that they used salmon instead of pink. We're heading to Alaska this summer, but I'm not sure if I need more non moose papers for that trip. The Santa line looks so much like a Christmas line I have from them already (with colors), and I have actively avoided Pickleball, so that is out. The colors look like they'd be perfect for a primary school line though.

Not super excited for these.
Travel line uses that muted color palette that I have a hard time using.
Santa line is cute, but I can’t take it too seriously in early May lol
No on Pickle Ball. Niche for sure. Since no one here plays, it’s an easy pass.

I really like the Travelogue collection, and can use some more travel-themes supplies. I like the Santa in the chimney in the Christmas collection but won't order it - I'd rather wait and see what else comes out for Christmas. I didn't even look at the pickleball one because it's just not something I care about.

I might buy some of the Travelogue collection because I am a sucker for travel themed items. But I would prefer more contemporary colors, not "contemporary vintage." Although, maybe this collection would be good for my faded childhood vacation photos, hmmmmm.

Big pass.
My husband is an avid pickleball player, but that color scheme is a doozy.

What is with pickle ball lately? I had never heard of it until the last few months or so and now I hear about it all the time lol
The Santa Stop Here seems like a lot of their previous Christmas lines and I’m bored with it.
The other two collections aren’t something I’d use.

I am posting my comments before reading the others.
I have a huge weak spot for travel collections so that one is a yes.
I am getting more picky about Christmas, so that one is a maybe.
I don't get the Pickleball thing, but I would purchase a single sheet of that stripped paper because I love the colours if I found it somewhere.
Editted to add: I should rephrase my 'I don't get the Pickleball thing,' comment. I actually know a lot of folks who do play it. For some reason it's very popular among the 20-30 something crowd, especially in the LGBT community here. I do have friends who play. I just don't understand the game, and I don't go watch them so it's not something I'd scrapbook.
And I want the stamps from the Santa collection for sure.

I really like the Travelogue collection. I would buy it if it were a digital kit.

Oh my goodness, what is with all the Christmas lines so early this year? ... I didn't get the memo either! Perhaps manufacturers have decided to release holiday lines early to capture shopping dollars from Christmas in July crafters (&/or are planning to promote Christmas in July via new workshops/etc. this year), prepare for shipping delays that are still the norm post-pandemic, etc. |

I wish someone had an address for her so we could check in. |

... The travel collection seems to have the same tired icons of every travel collection. ... Agreed. It appears the industry has approved of only a few icons & predictably repeats them throughout every travel collection (ie patterned papers, stickers, ephemera/diecuts, chipboard, washi, stencils, stamps, metal dies). UGH! ETA: It appears she hasn't posted here in over four months. I hope she's doing well & will rejoin us when her schedule permits. |

Travel - I like a couple of the papers
Christmas - At this point a Christmas collection has to be really unique to catch my attention (I have a 20+ year stash of Christmas paper) and there is nothing unique about this. Yawn.
Pickleball - I don't play it but I am glad Photoplay releases niche collections.
I usually like Photoplay but I'm disappointed in this release.

Thanks for your responses. Nothing from this release is added to my wish list. Travelogue - I dislike the vintage aesthetic, color palette (especially the mustard yellow), & overused icons/sentiments, but hope tag paper will be added to future Photoplay collections. Among the new travel collections, I prefer the recently-released Simple Stories Here + There (discussed in this thread). Santa - It's predictable & generic, & I particularly detest the floating icon patterns. Pickleball - Like cycworker, I like the stripe but overall find the collection too bright & themed. ... I am glad Photoplay releases niche collections. ... Ditto. |
