I don't need any snow collections but if I did Wintertime is more my style than Winterland
Good to be Home and At Home - there are definitely bits I like and would pick up if I see.
Year in Review - I think I would need to look at more closely - I like the concept but not sure if I would actually use.
No need for weddings or faery gardens

I really like the colors of At Home, I will pick up pieces of that and maybe Good to be home.

I like the colours in Winterland better than in Winter Time, but I like the leafy papers in this second line better (on the Leafy Sprigs paper and the reverse of the multi journaling cards).
I have no need for wedding papers and don't love the b sides enough to buy this, although the colour scheme is pretty.
I wanted to really like At Home and Good to be Home. The motifs in Good to be Home are more my style and I might consider the sticker sheet or book to round out my stash.
I like the concept of the Year in Review collections but I wish they included more journaling cards and swapped the 4x4 row for smaller pieces, either 3x4 or smaller than 3x4 that could be layered into a pocket.

Love Wintertime! Even though I really don't need more winter paper, I will probably cave for that collection. So excited to see a wedding collection without pink! Definitely on my wish list.

A lot of these are themes I don’t need, use or have a use for.
The EP Good to be Home line looks fresh in colors for 2023 but I could see some good, older 90s photos looking awesome with this. If you have pics cooking in mom’s hunter green kitchen, or her country blue living room, or the harvest gold dining room, and have a hard time scrapping them with other collections, this one would work beautifully.
I like how the wedding line is neutral with a pop of the green. Would be nice for outdoor wedding photos too. I don’t have a need for it, but it’s a good usable one.

My favourite of these is Wintertime. Love the blues & greys, the snowy roofs.

artbabe, I think it is time to make a tribute page to the rust colored couch that features in your Christmas photos using the new Good to be Home collection. The color palette has the perfect shade of rust! 😄 I like the look of Winterland. The animals are cute and I enjoy the softer color scheme for winter photos. My other winter collections seem a lot brighter in color. However, we don't have winter here in Florida, so I may or may not get some of this one. Thanks for sharing!

September
EP Winterland - A color palette I haven't seen before- yay! Love the blue-grey with the soft pink. And that cute polar bear. I can definitely see scrapping grey Ohio winters with this one.
CB Wintertime (by stevenduncandesigner ) - Remember when Steven Duncan lines were really distinctive and special? Now they look like all of the other lines. Pretty, but nothing unique.
EP Wedding Bells - I don't have any need for this theme but I really like the papers. I love, love, love the peonies- I'm getting all 3 of those papers.
EP Good To Be Home - The only thing I like in this line is that baking paper. My sister is an obsessive baker- I have so many photos of baked goods. The rest is just okay.
October
EP Year in Review - I'm not a project life scrapper, but this is pretty.
EP Fairy Garden - From the name I was expecting greens and a more adult take on fairies (like Reminisce's) and then I opened the page and SO MUCH PINK! My eyes, they burn! It is cute if you have a girly little girl but wow, is that overwhelming. I might get the butterfly stencil, though. I can't believe with my huge stencil collection I don't have a butterfly one.
CB At Home - So pretty- the moths, the flowers, the macrame. And I haven't seen a caning paper since old Anna Griffin. I love the colors, too. I'll get this line.
Overall - the September/October releases are much better than the holiday ones. I'll get a few pieces of various lines but the At Home line is the clear winner for me.

I'm interested in a piece of paper here and there but no collection is screaming "buy me, now."

Overall - the September/October releases are much better than the holiday ones. I agree with artbabe, I much prefer this set of releases to the holiday ones. I like the softness of Winterland. This would be good for scrapping the post-holiday winter photos from January and February. There are a couple of sheets I like in the other lines as well, but nothing I will be buying in its entirety. I will likely pick up the sticker sheet and some of the embellishments from Year in Review as I think they would be useful. |

Ooooooh, I really like most of these! I'd better start saving for when they're released as digital kits.  Winterland - looooove the colours! Not sure how much I would use with all that pink, but it's so pretty! Good To Be Home - Even though I'm not a fan of that green, I really love the overall colour scheme. I will definitely be buying this one. Year in Review - I like this colour scheme and may buy this one (but not for year in review pages - too much pink and I have too many males to scrap!) Fairy Garden - This would be perfect to use for old photos of my daughter when she was little and loved dressing as a fairy. At Home - great colour scheme and I like the embellishments. I will buy this one too. |

I do love the colours in that home collection. Since it never snows where I live I never have a need for snowy papers

EP Winterland - love these colors; will probably buy quite a bit of this. CB Wintertime - I like the blues in this collection; like the B sides. EP Wedding Bells - Very pretty. EP Good to be Home - some pretty B sides EP Year in Review - can't decide if I like the colors or not.  EP Fairy Garden - a hard pass. Like artbabe, it sort of hurts my eyes. CB At Home - like this; probably buy a few pieces. Thanks PaperAngel for showing us. |

I love the colors of the wedding kit, but don't need any of it...thankfully since while I love the colors I think it would be hard to work with the collection if those weren't the colors of the wedding.

Thanks for your responses. Continued from select collections in the July & August (holiday) releases ( here), a Titles & Phrases cardstock die cut pack is included in all collections except EP Winterland. Overall, I find these collections stereotypically feminine, floral, retro, etc. like almost everything else on the market right now. From these releases, only a subway tile stencil is added to my wish list. |

Overall, I find these collections stereotypically feminine, floral, retro, etc. like almost everything else on the market right now. From these releases, only a subway tile stencil is added to my wish list. I had to go back bcz I hardly scroll pass the color scheme! That is a useful looking stencil. I agree, still too much pink for me. The EP Home one looks very similar to past designs, and almost identical to a Simple Stories Home one. And I love typewriters, but I mean, how many do we need?! Would actually love to see them add tablets/phones/laptops/speakers/headphones in a cute/stylish way versus always looking tech/masculine/boring. I like part of the CB At Home - hoping the light pink is more coral in color. |

Thank you for sharing. I was hoping with the addition of the titles and phrases pack, that one of the other packs pf ephemera would have fewer words, but they look the same. I wish at least 1 of the 3 packs didn't have words or only a few.

IF I was going to purchase anything, which I’m not, I gravitate to the October releases. I didn’t even need to scroll far to say no no no no and no to the September ones.

I wish at least 1 of the 3 packs didn't have words or only a few. Agreed; oddly, all three packs are similar! Based on the name of the new product, I was expecting all titles/phrases like the Pinkfresh Ephemera Pack-Titles (e.g. from Happy Heart collection) & hoping for only frames/tags (& perhaps non-themed tabs, labels, etc. in the collection's color palette) in the Frames/Tags pack & themed diecuts corralled in the Ephemera pack. |

Fairy Garden is so cute, but I don't have a use for it. I wish I did, though!
I like Good to Be Home, I can see myself using that.
The others are okay but nothing I need.

Reviving this thread as a refresher/reminder, since these releases were announced seven weeks ago! Anyone revising her/his/their wish list?

I saw on Facebook that Steven Duncan has a new collection coming with EP called “ seasons greetings” and it has cream AND white backgrounds with a very OA vibe. I’m saving my pennies for ALL of that

I’m saving my pennies for ALL of that You saw it HERE first!  CB Season's Greetings is part of the August release. I agree this collection has a "very OA vibe." I also like (& prefer) EP Happy Holidays (July release - see link) for the same reason. |
