containing various numbers to create dates/years (e.g. 12/31/2022, 2023, 1/1/2024) in each collection is puzzling. I just looked at the images for the sticker pad and it does have some numbers. But I find the quality of those pads to be lacking and I don't typically buy them. The stickers are so thin. I noticed the one page of numbers in the Noteworthy Sticker Book. It includes one each of numbers 0-12 in different sizes/fonts that feature the same woodgrain (not among the pattern papers in this collection) on the bottom halves & various patterns (matching the pattern papers from the collection) on the top halves. It appears they are intended to document the months (with an extra 0), leaving nothing to also create the year or specific dates (e.g. 2023, 1/1/2024). As you mentioned, another issue is these numbers in the SS Sticker Books are not cardstock, rather fragile/thin/planner weight. Not providing a numbers-only embellishment or tool option to create dates/years/whatever is certainly a missed opportunity to make this collection versatile & attractive to more buyers! |

The roses were a real turn off for me too. I would likely be using this to scrap photos from the freezing depths of January and roses have nothing to do with it  I noticed a lot of the Christmas lines this year (from various companies) have a TON of flowers too. Not poinsettas but just random flowers. I don't get it. I actually passed over this collection but after reading these quotes I went back for a second look. I love the flower/foliage pack! It is so pretty. Happy New Year - I don't scrap New Year's often but the paper and most of the icons would be great for birthday pages. I'll probably get this one. Birthday - Boring Noteworthy - I'm not a project life scrapper but I do love the colors and some of the icons (I don't mind the old timey supplies- they seem pretty versatile to use to me.) A few of the b-sides are really pretty so I'll probably pick up a few of the months and a package of die cuts. Winter Wonder - Like I said, I passed over it to start with because I already have several winter lines but the flowers and the b-sides had me rethink this. The colors are so pretty- I think I could make some nice not necessarily winter pages with this. I do like the mug paper and the polar bear and rabbit are cute. I think a rabbit works just fine for winter. I agree with sleepingbooty about the word thickers- lots of useful phrases on it. Simple Vintage Love Story - I used to really love the Vintage lines but I haven't felt the same way about them since that designer went to 49 & Market. I like the colors of the non-patterned sheets, love the birds, the butterflies, and the paint set. I have no need for a Valentine line, though. I'll definitely get some of these lines. I usually like Simple Stories. For some reason I find it more versatile and easier to use than Echo Park and some other companies. |

None of these lines are doing much for me. Passing on all of them.

Thanks for your responses. Overall, this release is too feminine, floral, &/or yellow. I'm not the target audience for the simple vintage collections & only like the simple plaid on the reverse of Winter Wonder - Snow Happy from this release, so nothing is added to my wish list. |
