Great OUtdoors - the A sides are gorgeous and impractical - I do like the B sides. Not sure I'll end buying any though
Happy Birthday is way too pink for the photos I scrap but it's nice to see a more grown up birthday line.
I love the colours of Bohemian Wedding but have no use for that line
I really like the Mr Fix It line - I might end up getting some of that
As for Chippies -maybe the outdoors one?

I love the colors of the bohemian, but it's a little too busy pattern wise. It would be hard to add anything additional to some of the busy papers.
I like some of the fix it products.

The nicest thing I can think of to say is that today I have learnt that Mintay is not my style. (Another way to say it is that most of those are the ugliest most depressing collections I have seen in a long time. Most definitely not my colours!) Except for the Happy Birthday collection. I love that! scrappinchar can I come to your birthday party so I can use it too?

Like Linda , I love the images and colours of the Great Outdoors line, but unsure how I would use them; no need for the amount of PINK in the birthday line; like the Mr Fixit but unsure how much I need it; LOVE the teal in the wedding line, but no need for the ornate graphics. Who was looking for music icons? The chippies would be good for scrapping someone in band. Don't know if they have--or plan to have--a paper collection to go with it.
I DO like the 3x4 cut aparts with both A and B sides of the papers represented. Can see lots of possibilities for playing with those.

I learned about Mintay from Alicia McNamara. Some of her layouts are gorgeous.
I’m not feeling any of the papers in these collections though. The colors are bit drab for me.

I like the colors in Bohemian wedding but not the designs so I won’t be buying any thing from that line. Don’t really care for the other collections.

The papers are beautiful, but not my styles. I do like a few sheets: Mr. Fix It, B sides of papers 5 and 6. Everything else in the collection is too vintage? steampunk? for me. I also like Great Outdoors paper 4 (tree circles).

I just got back from Elkfest in Estes Park yesterday and think they are gorgeous AND practical. So many elk and moose. We watched Mr. Moose stand by the lake and watch his lady friend eat out of the bottom of the lake for a good 45 minutes. We were so close (not were going to die close though). We also got in-between a bull elk trying tor round up his harem for a good thirty minutes and watched the older female elk give him no respect. When one of the older ones crossed the road, he got in front of the vehicles and stopped them while bugling at her to no avail. We got a good 550 pictures of the wildlife this weekend. Will be hard to pare down.

It's nice to see a more adult birthday line. They make some beautiful papers but overall Mintay just isn't really my thing.

I love the Great Outdoors, but how on earth would one use those A sides? I'll probably buy the log paper.
I like Mr Fix-It. I wish I had that line when I created my work scrapbook after retirement. I'm going to buy the die cuts and add them to my scrapbook.
The rest - no thank you.

The rusty b-side paper (Paper 3) in Mr. Fix-it is nice if I had something to scrap about that was rusty and peeling, otherwise none of these are my style.

The Great Outdoors - Beautiful scenery but would be hard to use. I do like the 2 B-side map papers. Happy Birthday - Like janamke, this sort of hurts my eyes. I have some sort of visual problem when there are so many blues & pinks together. Bohemian Wedding - Beautiful but I have no need for this one. Mr. Fix It - I like quite a bit of this one. B-sides win again. Chippies - These are cool. Thanks for showing us the newest stuff PaperAngel.

Oof. They are all just SO busy…almost Graphic 45ish. Not my style at all.
The color schemes are way out there. The birthday is bubblegum pink. The Boho wedding is almost Christmasy, which would work if you had a Christmas wedding, I suppose.

I love the MR. Fit it collection....my hubby is a machinist, son went to school for electrical and is working for a gas fitting / heating company and other son wants to be a millwrite...it is the collection I didn't know I needed until I saw it!
Great outdoors - I like this one. might buy it but it isn't a must.
Bohemian wedding - A pass for me but I love the woodgrain.. I would buy 10 sheets of that alone.
Happy birthday - a pass

Overall, these are all beautiful papers and I appreciate that Mintay and other companies add variety. That said, these papers do not match the mood and feel of my life. The birthday photos I have would look ridiculous on the birthday paper. The same with the wedding paper. Very few of my photos can pull off "fancy" paper. We just don't live that life. lol!
When we fix things, we are never that hardcore in our "fixing" and neither are we in our outdoor adventures. I do appreciate some of the less busy background papers in those collections.
What does match the mood and feel of my life in the medical and the music chippies. They are in my cart. It is near impossible to find bass embellishments, and there are several in the music pack. Big plus! At $1.40 a sheet, I am going the pass on the denim backgrounds and the maps and plaid printed paper.

I LOVE the outdoors line. I have some old scouting photos from the 70's and 80's that would be so cool with this look. The Navy blue and pink in the birthday line is stunning! I love that combination. I'd love a couple of the papers that don't have the birthday images. Bohemian Wedding, sigh... So beautiful. Most of the papers could be used for other purposes. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Did I say love the Mr. Fix it Line. Reminds me of my dad. I normally, skip over chipboard, but be still my heart! I do have some dies that are similar to these, but I could totally use these A LOT of them unfortunately.

For those who have bought chippies, like what are they like? Easy to color? Sturdy?

I like the doily chippies. There are also a few b-sides in the fix it and outdoor lines that I would use. The map print in the outdoor line is something I could see myself buying multiples of. I don't hate the birthday line and might buy a few select sheets for either my birthday or a friend who had a milestone birthday recently--I think the key might be to fussy cut just a few select elements from the really busy sheets.

I actually jumped back from my screen when I saw the birthday collection. I think some of it is pretty but it's not my style.
