*NEW* Pinkfresh - May release (4 new lines)

I saw Geralyn mention she had a new travel collection with Pinkfresh coming soon but I didn't realise it was quite so soon. I really liked her last travel collection so I was eagerly waiting for this one. The papers are more misses than hits for me, but I like some of the embellishments.

Lovely Blooms is underwhelming. There are a couple of pieces I don't mind, but I don't know if I'll actually end up buying any of it. I like the colours in Garden Bouquet more but don't know that I like any of it enough to buy either.

I left my thoughts on Sunshine on my Mind on the other thread.

I really like tourist mode. I'll probably buy some of it.

Ummmmm maybe a couple of sheets of paper from each collection, as well as the enamel dots (especially the gold ones), but other than that-meh. Their colors are too pastel, and look too similar to past collections.

Their stuff is pretty, but just not me. I do have some of their things, but I find that I don’t use them as much as others. I also don’t understand those large rolls of washi. I know you can use dies to cut it, but it’s just not my thing.

Yeep! I love Tourist Mode. 🤗 I’ll be getting most of that line, some in duplicate.

The other lines are nothing special to me.

Tourist Mode is my favourite. I really like the embellishments, but as I have said before I struggle using Pinkfresh papers, so I may be more selective about what I pick up as far as the paper goes--also might just pick up the 6x6 pads and use it supplement some of the papers already in my stash. I feel like this one is a good candidate for me to try to make my own kit.

I’m doing the Pinkfresh event and we got all of these!

Tourist Mode is my favorite. I will use every little scrap of it.

I also love Sunshine on my Mind as a close second. It has such a light and bright feel and color story without it feeling too themey. Our beach photos are perfect for the colors and I can’t wait to scrap with it!

The other two are super pretty as well. They aren’t my normal go-to colors but I like the projects we’re going to make with them so it’s a win for me. The purples in the Bouquet line especially are very pretty. I wear this tone of purple a lot so I think I’ll have more photos to work with it than I realize lol

Love Tourist Mode
Like Lovely Blooms and Garden Bouquet much more than I thought I would based on the names.
Meh to Sunshine on my Mind.

We don't do anything beyond camping these days but I really need that Tourist Mode collection!

I don't think Pink Fresh is for me. Tourist Mode is the only one I could see me buying anything from the line.

I received all four of these lines in my Pinkfresh Create & Connect event box. In person, I was pleasantly surprised with all of the products. I HATE when online product "photos" are an artist's rendering, rather than an actual photo of the item. It often stops me from making a purchase. Here are my takes on each line.

Sunshine On My Mind
Worth a look: the A sides of "Poolside" and Love this Day"; the B sides of "Sweetest Summer", "Golden Hour", "Lazy Days"; both sides of "Go Outside"; the puffy stickers, the journaling bits
Skip It: matte enamel dots

Tourist Mode
Worth a look: the A sides of "Great Outdoors", "Staycation"; the B side of "Sightseeing"; both sides of "Tourist Mode", "Ready to Roam", all of the stickers, enamel dots, and ephemera.
Skip it: nothing

Lovely Blooms
This collection feels disjointed to me. Half of the papers are soft, floral and the other half are graphic, modern. The very dark green and mustard yellow did NOT appeal to me in person.
Worth a look: the A sides of "Spread Love", "Start Somewhere", "Captured Moments"; the B sides of "Here and Now", "Be Present", journaling bits, chipboard frames, and the puffy phrases
Skip it: the fabric stickers

Garden Bouquet
This collection doesn't include any papers, but the colors are beautiful in person (and I'm not even a purple lover)
Worth a look: the matte gold alpha and enamel dots, the ephemera, the journaling bits, the chipboard frames and puffy stickers
Skip it: the wide washi (unless you love their wide washi and know how to use because it's GORGEOUS in person)
