nothing added to my wishlist - Fancy Pants isn't really my style

Wow, these are pretty different.  Fruitcake & Tinsel - way too much purple for me Paisleys & Petals - too out there for me Frosted Forest - the Woodland pp is pretty. What's going on with the poor little fox on the sticker sheet? He looks kinda dead. Enchanted Garden - Not bad, but nothing grabs me. Thanks PaperAngel. |

Solid no for me on all lines. Same. I wouldn't even use them if someone gave them to me. Just not my style, at all. |

Hmm. These are... interesting.
Fruitcake & Tinsel - This collection looks exactly how a fruitcake tastes, yucky.
Paislees & Petals - Also yuck.
Frosted Forest - The best of the bunch in my opinion, I like the forest papers. The leaping fox was an interesting choice though.
Enchanted Garden - No thank you.

These all look like what a mild case of depression feels like.
The exact opposite of light and bright, if that makes sense.
I do like the faux vintage Christmas ephemera but have no use for it.

Something about Fruitcake & Tinsel reminds me of Basic Grey. Maybe the B sides?
Frosted forest - I really like 2 of the background papers
Enchanted garden - The ephemera pack is really pretty
Other than that, not really my style.

Fruitcake and Tinsel is too bright but the others are too drab. Just not my style. Thanks for posting though.

I don't really like the direction FP have gone with their most recent collections, although at least I can't complain they look like everything else on the market. All of these are an easy pass.

Fruitcake & Tinsel - Yes! I love it and must have it. A few of the papers look like Basic Grey. This is the first Christmas collection I've seen that stands out from the rest.
Paislees & Petals - Pretty, but probably won't get it.
Frosted Forest - I probably won't get this one either, but it is pretty and I'm a sucker for forest animals.
Enchanted Garden - No! No gnomes! Bad gnomes....
Edit: I put down my answers before I looked at other people's opinions. I think it is interesting that another person said Fruitcake looked like Basic Grey. I'm surprised that so many people disliked Fruitcake and Tinsel. I really kind of love it.
Fancy Pants has a really weird style, though. The other 3 lines just aren't my thing.

Frosted Forest is very pretty. I thought the winter moths paper seemed weird. I do like the colors in Enchanted Garden, but not a must buy.

To me these look like something bought off a graphic design “commercial use license” site (like Tim Holtz does) and then made into a scrapbooking collection. Disappointing if that’s the direction FP is moving towards.

I must have the Mid Century Merriment paper from the Fruitcake & Tinsel line. Love both sides! Some of the ephemera is cute, but I don’t think would work for my Christmas photos. It does remind me a bit of BG, but seeing as I still have about a dozen collection packs I don’t really need more. The rest of the collections aren’t my style, even though I like the non-traditional color schemes. |

Thanks for your responses. I find these collections look dated due to their color palettes, imagery, giant florals, floating icons patterns, etc. Nothing is added to my wish list. To me these look like something bought off a graphic design “commercial use license” site (like Tim Holtz does) and then made into a scrapbooking collection. Disappointing if that’s the direction FP is moving towards. Completely agree! |

I like the ephemera from Frosted Forest (sucker for a fox and deer), but the papers were too muddled for me.

I love PAISLEES & PETALS. It has a great BASIC GREY feel that instantly attracted me. I will definitely order the Collection Pack.
The others are a pass. i wanted to like the Christmas collection but just couldn’t.

I like pieces of Enchanted Garden. Mostly the smaller prints and the color palette. The little gnomes are funny too. But I really have no use for it so I doubt I’ll buy any.
The others are not grabbing me. I like the colors of the Christmas one for some variation but it’s not very usable looking.
I generally have not liked Fancy Pants since they were sold.

A no for me on all of them. I do think the Christmas line has a Basic Grey vibe going.

I have 1 sheet of paper from each collection, and two of the ephemera packs.
